Developing his style in shadow of prominent Catalan architects such as
Lluis Domenech i Montaner, Coquillat established himself as a noted proponent of the
Modernista style in Catalunya. Most of his work is centred in Barcelona and
San Justo Desvern. Coquillat collaborated with other architects, such as
Arnald Calvet i Peyronill on the market in
Sarrià market and the Villa Conchita, and with
Juli Marial i Tey on the Sant Miquel Tower in
La Garriga.
Noted buildings Between 1903 and 1905 he carried out restoration work on the Basilica of Santa María in his hometown of Elche. In 1906, Coquillat collaborated with architect
Víctor Beltrí on a commission from the Maestre Pérez mining family to build Casa Maestre on Plaza de San Francisco in
Cartagena. The facade of this strikingly ornate
Moderniste house bears prominent
Neo-Rococo features. One of Coquillat's most noted buildings was the Hotel del Histógeno Llopis on the Paseo de Rosales,
Madrid, a project for the pharmaceuticals entrepreneur Adolfo Llopis Castelado. The hotel was built 1912-1914 in the Catalan Modernist style, and was highly acclaimed by his contemporaries. The building was heavily ornamented and featured a prominent
loggia and
balustrades, and was topped with an ornate
cupola. The hotel was demolished in the 1970s. In 1915, Coquillat was commissioned to remodel the facade of the
Casa Bonet in the fashionable
Eixample district of Barcelona. Neighbouring houses on this block had been remodelled in a variety of clashing styles of the
Modernista movement, giving the row of houses the nickname the
Illa de la Discòrdia (
Mansana de la Discòrdia). Coquillat moved away from the outlandish forms of
Modernisme and chose instead to style the facade along relatively conservative
Italianate Neo-Baroque lines. In contrast to the neighbouring
Casa Amatller (
Cadafalch, 1900) and
Casa Batlló (
Gaudí, 1904), Coquillat's Casa Bonet is generally overlooked. File:Basilica Elche 02.JPG|Basílica de Santa María de
