Beautiful apartment in the Eixample district

This beautiful apartment is located in Barcelona, in a Noucentiste building which dates back to 1.936.The apartment is located on the fourthfloor of a buildingwith elevatorandone apartment per floor and a terrace on the back. East Oriented to Aragon Street with sun on the mornings and a quiet backyard.It has a total surface area of 103m2.Currently the apartment is to be renovated,for the refurbishment we proposea big space with dining room and kitchen, and different solutions for the night area are proposed, with a terrace facing the courtyard.

The apartment is located on the first floor of a narrow building between twoother buildings. The building, conditioned by the characteristics of the plot, is clearly developed in the longitudinal axis, giving rise to housing with two clearly differentiated areas -corresponding to each facade -and intermediate spaces that rest on two inner courtyards.Built during the 1930s, the building consists of a total of nine floors (Ground Floor + 8). This height, above the usual in the Eixample district, is determined by the greater amplitude of the street Aragón.On this street, the mainfaçade is projected, which despite being just over 4 meters wide, stands out for its formalization in overlapping semicircular galleries, culminating with a dome topped with a needle. Of Noucentiste style, the lines of forged with subtle moldings are remarked, and the windows are crowned in the form of a semicircular arch. Although the width of the buildingconditions the zoneof the apartments, on the other hand it also allows knocking downthe interior walls due to they have notstructural function. The metallic beams that support the “Catalan Volt” rest directly on the party walls and in the stairwell, thus giving rise to infinityinterior wall configurations.Taking into account the orientation in the southeast-northeast axis, as well as the existence of a terrace accessible to the interior of the block, it is proposed to distribute the house in two distinct halves: a large daytime area, facing the main façade, which contains living area, dining room and kitchen, and a night area reserved for the interior, looking for the tranquility of the courtyard and leaning on the inner courtyards of the building. A continuous wall of solid billet, transverse, across the whole house, relegates and gives continuity to both areas.

Designed during the 19th century by one of Barcelona's most well-known urban planners and built with the work of famous architects and artists (such as Antoni Gaudi), the Eixample district is one of the most iconic areas of Barcelona. Street blocks in Eixample are built following a grid pattern that has become one of Barcelona's trademarks and which make the city easy to navigate, even for first-time visitors.

The district is often divided into two areas (right and left Eixample), each with its distinct character: while the right side of Eixample is known for its residential flair and exquisitely appointed properties, the left side offers endless shopping and entertainment opportunities and its residential real estate tends to be more affordable. The Eixample is also where some of the city's top landmarks are here, including Sagrada Familia, the Auditorium, La Pedrera, and Casa Mila.

Beyond shopping and leisure, the Eixample offers everything in the way of modern conveniences catering to both residents and tourists. And like most of Barcelona, this district is bustling with street life, but at the same time is dotted with quiet corners where time seems to have stood still and where one can soak into the city's eclectic and alluring atmosphere.
