Independent building made up of three terraced single-family houses, with ground floor, first floor, attic and basement converted into a garden at the back. Located in the residential area of Colònia Güell, it is the first building you see when you enter it. Work built around 1894, which, both due to the shape of its floor plan and the singularity of the façades and their symmetry, gives the building great originality. Although it does not have the typical appearance of a country house, it is noticeable how in one way or another the architect wanted to collect the most significant features of manor houses. For example, the building has a basilica floor plan and a gable roof, and the facing is made of stone conglomerate of various sizes bound with lime mortar, on which several structures are built. The marked historicist character of the building, beyond the appearance of a manor house at the front, is also reflected at the back with a construction on different levels and bodies. Undoubtedly, however, what stands out most about the building are the rounded corners, and the decorative elements, the filigree work with exposed brick is particularly relevant. This is visible in the windows, the three chimneys, the porch, the cistern or the eaves under the deck.
The house was originally inhabited by the Ros de l'Ordal family, hence its name, and they are still the owners. However, other families such as the Cruañas, Gaudó, Montanès and Carrión have also lived there. All of them were farmers who worked the owner's land as tenants. Some members of these families also worked in the factory. In the interest of moving away from the existing social conflicts in the city, a new type of industry was proposed in the 19th century - the industrial colonies, i.e. the houses of the workers and equipment next to the factory, all in the same property, integrating its own nucleus with a social and economic life protected by the company. The Güell colony was an industrial colony dedicated to the manufacture of bread and velvet. Its construction began in 1890, and the project had an inn, school, shops, theatre, cooperative, doctor's house, pharmacy and chapel, in addition to factories and workers' homes, in a total area of about 160 hectares. Güell, in his capacity as a patron of culture, commissioned projects from several leading architects, such as Antoni Gaudí, Francesc Berenguer i Mestres or Joan Rubió.
There used to be a well inside, but due to subsequent renovations to the building and new uses in the space, it has been modified.
Housing building worked with absolute symmetry, with the originality of having a basement floor converted into a garden at the front – this, as far as the main body is concerned. It has an addition from the same period, but subsequent to the initial project, on its right side. It is all worked with stone conglomerate, with rounded corners, and boasts a profusion of windows accented with exposed brick and a porch to the garden. The façade has a strong historicist reminiscence, with its basilica-style country house structure with a gable roof. The back part, on the other hand, is built with different levels and bodies, with a certain Romanesque church style. The elaborate and original fireplaces that flank the house in groups of three is worth noting.
