Only two of the planned houses have been completed: the house of Dr. Trias and Domaneha and the house, which is currently the Gaudi House Museum. These three houses were supposed to set an example and motivate potential buyers and investors. Eusebius Guell himself was the owner of these houses. A mockup of the entire complex was designed by the architect Frances Berenger of Mestres, the construction was to be carried out by the contractor Josep Casanovas of Pardo, and the signature on the whole project was Gaudi himself. The project was promising, beautiful, innovative, but did not attract buyers. In 1906, Gaudi himself bought the first house and lived there with his father and niece. His father died the same year, and his niece in 1912. Since then, Gaudi lived there alone until the end of 1925, until, a few months before his death in 1926, he moved to the workshop of the Sagrada Familia Basilica, a project that captured Gaudi completely to the remainder of his days. Gaudi bequeathed, after his death, to transfer this house to the Foundation of the Board of La Sagrada Família, who sold it to the Chiappo Arietti couple, in order to increase funding for Saghrda Familia. In 1960, the Association of Friends of Gaudi began a campaign to buy the house from the descendants of Chiappo Arietti, and turn it into a Gaudi museum. Three years later, it was opened as the Gaudi House Museum. Josep Maria Garrat was its chairman. In 1992, the house was transferred to the Building Council of the Foundation La Sagrada Familia.
