The couple, Román Batlle and Enriqueta Rodríguez de Lacín, commissioned the architect Salvador Comas and the builder Pedro Pareras to build this modernist villa.
The tower was renamed “Villa Enriqueta” and was inhabited by the owners as a summer residence. The “Villa Enriqueta” house passed into the hands of Eduardo Moret Abelló and Teresa Ros Riera, who developed and planned the botanical garden and changed the name of the house to “Torre Edelweiss”.
