City-garden typology home built on a quadrangular space, surrounded by a brick fence with a combination of grating and chamfering at the corner of the door. The building is a rectangular cube with ground floor, main floor and attic, covered on two sides with an open turret that includes a staircase around which the composition revolves. The entrance angle is occupied by a porch open to the garden. It is white with a combination of stone and ceramics of different colours: mainly green, yellow, red and gold. Great vertical emphasis given by the pinion-shaped gables, windows, tower and tribune in a conical shape and triangular base. The decoration, Mackintosh type, is typical of Balcells' early modernism, which follows the same guidelines as in the Mestres house in Cerdanyola. The interior is divided into two floors: on the ground floor, there is the hall leading to the dining room, where there is a large fireplace, and in the middle, there is the staircase leading to the first floor. On one side we can find the kitchen and the toilet, and on the other a room. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, one of them with a cabinet and a gallery. In the turret there is a spiral staircase and the materials used are stone and tile cladding.
A project was made in 1910 before the existing one. When the tower was built (1912), the project was completely modified. On the other hand, Gual Tower is part of the most constructive period in the town, years 1910-1920, when Cardedeu was definitively transformed into a summer resort, one of the most important in the eastern Vallès along with La Garriga.
