Casa Milà is characterized by its self-supporting stone facade, meaning that it is free of load-bearing walls. The facade connects to the internal structure of each floor by means of curved iron beams surrounding the perimeter of each floor. This construction system allows, on one hand, large openings in the facade which give light to the homes, and on the other, free structuring of the different levels, so that internal walls can be added and demolished without affecting the stability of the building. This allows the owners to change their minds at will and to modify, without problems, the interior layout of the homes.<ref name=any2002a>[http://www.bcn.es/gaudi2002/catalan/obras/10com.htm Descripció casa Milà] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110806225114/http://www.bcn.es/gaudi2002/catalan/obras/10com.htm |date=2011-08-06 }} a «any Gaudí» a l'Ajuntament de Barcelona</ref>
