APARTMENT ON VÍA LAIETANA. THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

The building housing the Vía Laietana project once belonged to the Guarro family, a highly prestigious family in Barcelona. They commissioned the renowned architect Puig i Cadafalch to design the project. The Guarro family was known as patrons of the arts (they contributed to the construction of the Palau de la Música) and as political figures, with one family member serving as the cultural councilor for the Lliga Regionalista.

In this building, Puig i Cadafalch implemented an innovative design for its time. The building is part of the city"s architectural heritage and has been designated with a protection level C.

Built in 1922 by Puig i Cadafalch during his Novecentista period, the building is characterized by greater austerity and a focus on functionality, without sacrificing elegance and architectural quality. The façade has distinct treatments for the lower, middle, and upper levels. The ground floor features columns supporting five semi-circular arches. The main floor has a loggia with six pairs of Tuscan columns, upon which rests the continuous stone balcony of the upper floor. The next three floors have individual wrought-iron balconies, and the final floor is crowned with another continuous stone and iron balcony. The building is topped off with a stone railing adorned with six large urns.

A superb apartment of 147 m² in this classic building designed by Puig i Cadafalch, equipped with an elevator. Located on Vía Laietana, in the heart of Barcelona. After renovation, the apartment has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a guest toilet, a spacious living room, a kitchen with modern finishes. The windows offer a view of the Cathedral.
