This villa is a very decisive building because there are very few examples of single-family dwellings within a company that remain in the contemporary architecture of the Basque Country. This house was commissioned by José Garavilla to be built on the premises of his factory, Conservas Garavilla S.A. The factory was demolished in 2004.
Videchea’s project is a very personal interpretation of eclecticism, made from the sum of two different references:
- Classicists with hollow moldings, stone balustrade and entrance gate surrounded by cut stone.
- English at bay windows, steep roofs and half-timbering.
A distant modernist influence is also evident in the iron of the balconies and the closing railing.
This house has another value to emphasize, the preservation of its original interior decoration.
