en AN URBAN FLAT IN THE HEART <br />OF BARCELONA
Spain, the epicentre of the cultural and social life in Barcelona. Passeig de Gracia is one of
the most exclusive streets in the city, semi-pedestrian, lively, and featuring a diverse range
of gastronomic and commercial options.
The flat is completely renovated in a listed, late 19th century building set amongst some
globally recognized iconic buildings, such as La Pedrera (Casa Milà).
Paseo de Gracia is one of the most recognized avenues in Spain, popular for housing some of the most
well-known modernist buildings located in Barcelona.
What was once the main floor of one of these icons, reserved only for the most distinguished families in
the early 20th century, has recently been transformed by LUV Studio aiming to add a contemporary way
of living in such a classical, beautiful environment.
This project is mainly characterized by the merging of two floors, converting it into an architectural gem
of almost 350m2. It now accommodates up to five double en suite rooms, the main one has a balcony
and views of the Paseo de Gracia
The high ceilings of this flat were initially free of decoration, offering us the privilege of recreating
classical details in a more modern way, such as textures in wood in the 4 metres high living room
to recall the classical coffered or beamed ceiling. Lacquered hard-wood floors form a sense of
continuity along all the corridors around the patio.
This open-plan project takes full advantage of the ample space present in all areas, making use
of the most exceptional materials throughout whilst enhancing the open views of the avenue and
the interior patio. The space where the living room, kitchen and dining room converge is the heart
of the apartment. The day area, designed to spend time in company, has different spaces that
generate different atmospheres, from the calm of the decoration in sober, balanced and elegant
tones, to the black wood and marble of the kitchen

About Barcelona
Barcelona, the exquisite gem of Catalonia, is a city that dazzles its visitors with a unique combination of history, culture, art, and a vibrant modern scene. Located on the northeast coast of Spain, Barcelona is a destination that captivates both tourists and locals, providing an unforgettable experience with every step taken through its cobbled streets.
Its rich history dates back more than 2,000 years when the Romans established the city as "Barcino." Over the centuries, Barcelona has been influenced by different cultures, resulting in a blend of architectural styles that make it unique in the world. One of its greatest treasures is the stunning Sagrada Familia, the majestic basilica designed by the genius architect Antoni Gaudí, whose construction still continues today, captivating everyone with its beauty and originality. But Barcelona is not just history and monuments. Its charming streets and squares, like the famous Ramblas, are full of life and energy, brimming with cafes, restaurants, street artists, and local markets.
Food is also an essential part of the Barcelona experience; its markets, such as La Boqueria Market, display colorful stalls of fresh fruits, seafood, and cured meats that delight food enthusiasts.
A distinctive feature of the city is the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle, where hours are enjoyed leisurely, and conversations with friends extend into the late hours of the night. Barcelonians are warm and welcoming, making visitors feel at home in this cosmopolitan city.
Barcelona's modernist architecture isn't limited to the Sagrada Familia; iconic buildings like Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are exquisite expressions of Gaudí's creativity and genius. Additionally, Park Güell offers visitors a magical and whimsical landscape with sculptures, mosaics, and terraces with panoramic views of the city.
Barcelona's artistic legacy is also impressive. Museums like the Picasso Museum house an extensive collection of masterpieces by the cubism genius and provide an intimate look into the life and work of Pablo Picasso.
Football is also at the heart of the city, with FC Barcelona's iconic stadium, Camp Nou, being a pilgrimage site for sports fans worldwide.
The beach is another attraction in Barcelona, with several urban beaches like Barceloneta, where visitors can relax under the warm Mediterranean sun or enjoy water sports.
In summary, Barcelona is a city that captivates the senses and fills the soul with inspiration. Its history, culture, architecture, art, and lifestyle make it a unique and fascinating place to visit.
