This house is one of those in Sant Sebastià street. It has a rectangular floor plan and the narrowest side belongs to the façade. It has three floors: the ground floor has a large entrance doorway and a window with two columns in the centre. On the first floor there are two balconies with beautifully crafted iron railings. The body on the left is lower than the one on the right, which is decorated with attached Solomonic columns, an oculus and, above it, a stucco decoration following the pattern of the entire building with the date of construction in 1911. On the third floor, the space is divided into two parts, with a terrace on the left and the building on the right, behind it. It is covered by a decorated gable roof with the ridge parallel to the façade. The construction elements are very varied, as is usual in Art Nouveau buildings. The materials used in this case are stone, plaster, brick, stucco, mosaic, iron and wood.

This house was built at the beginning of the 20th century, a time when Taradell became a summer resort, and there are several others that were built during this period, with the same characteristics as this one. The name of the architect who designed the project is unknown, as the owner changed in 1945 and no research has been carried out.

Villa Maria is a Catalan Art Nouveau house built at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a building between partitions with a ground floor, a first floor, an attic and a roof at different levels. The façade is composed according to two axes of openings, of which the main one is of greater height. It consists of a segmental arch doorway with a moulded soffit, on which the vegetal decoration begins and the corbels that support a cornice that extends along the entire façade and protrudes to form the base of the balconies on the first floor. On the ground floor of the second axis there is a triforate window with Solomonic columns with vegetal capitals. The two balconies on the ground floor are delimited by wrought iron railings profusely decorated with plant motifs, which are accessed through two low arched windows with moulded backs and crowned with acroteria. On the balcony of the main axis we find the inscription ‘VILLA MARIA’ and an oculus, guarded by two Solomonic columns, from which two prominent mouldings start as a dust cap, crowned with plant motifs and the year ‘1911’. Each of the axes is topped by a shelter: the main one is higher and is stepped with a semicircular central part and an oculus, the second is decorated with an acroterium and both are followed by a moulded cornice. At roof level, there are two bodies that correspond to the attic and are set back from the line of the façade. The walls are treated with cushioned ashlars on the ground floor and in the central part of the upper floors, and the rest are plastered and painted. Inside, the original layout, architectural elements, floors and decorated ceilings have been preserved.

The house was built between 1911 and 1912, commissioned by Don Pablo Dulochs to the master builder Joan Riera i Pallàs. The Lorenzo family spent their summer holidays there.
