Domènec Sugrañes i Gras (born December 12, 1878 – died August 9, 1938) was a talented architect from Catalonia, Spain. He followed the modernism style, which was popular at the time. Sugrañes was a student and close friend of the famous architect Antoni Gaudí.
After Gaudí passed away in 1926, Sugrañes took over his most important project: the church of the Sagrada Família. He was in charge of the building work for ten years, until 1936. During this time, he helped finish the beautiful Nativity Façade of the church.
