No obstant això, hi va haver discrepàncies entre el matrimoni i Gaudí, i quan l’arquitecte va morir el 1926, Segimon es va desfer de bona part dels mobles i en va fer tapar d’altres, que no van veure la llum fins el 1990, quan la Caixa de Catalunya va comprar i restaurar l’edifici.

Pere Milà i Camps and Roser Segimon i Artells, a couple of the Catalan bourgeoisie, ordered it to Gaudí as a mansion. The couple enjoyed then a privileged situation, which might explain why they wanted to build a house with an innovative conception of luxury, in modernist style. The Milà’s project was to build a big dimensions building, and, according to custom of that time, live in the first floor and rent the other ones. However, there were disagreements between the couple and Gaudí. When the artist died in 1926, Segimon got rid of a large part of the furniture and hid the other part, that wasn’t discovered until 1990, when the Caixa of Catalunya bought the house and restored it.
