Old City – Born / Sant Pere – Santa Caterina We invite you to discover this extraordinary fully renovated townhouse, located in one of the most emblematic and vibrant areas of Barcelona: El Born. A unique piece of contemporary architecture signed by the renowned Raúl Sánchez Architects studio, redefining the concept of urban living. A Fusion of History, Design, and Natural Light This singular project began in 2013 and was completely renovated in 2020, retaining only the perimeter walls and the original roof, to make way for a completely new four-level structure connected by a majestic white spiral staircase, the central axis of the design. The staircase not only distributes the spaces vertically but also acts as a natural light well that bathes the entire interior thanks to its suspended levels and strategically placed glass panels. ️ Important note: This property DOES NOT HAVE A HABITABILITY CERTIFICATE, making it an ideal option as a private space, creative studio, second residence, or versatile investment. ️ High-End Interior Design Every corner of this house has been carefully designed with noble materials and high-quality finishes: Designer kitchen with furniture in gold-toned brass, elegant and functional. Bathroom clad in lacquered wood in cream tones with golden metallic details. Restored exposed brick interior walls, contrasting with the clean and modern lines of the rest of the property. Integrated climate control and electrical systems with visible steel ducts, respecting the architectural aesthetics. ️ Unique Architecture The house consists of four floors that 'float' without touching the facades, thanks to an innovative structural design that prioritizes luminosity, spaciousness, and visual connection between spaces. On the rooftop, a private terrace crowns the property, offering an intimate and sunny space to relax in the heart of the city. Restored Facade with History The facade, carefully rehabilitated under heritage criteria, maintains its original essence but incorporates an author-designed entrance door made with three types of aluminum, inspired by the traditional hydraulic mosaic that decorates the interior of the home. Unbeatable Location Living in El Born means being part of an environment full of history, culture, and dynamism. Surrounded by museums, galleries, boutiques, signature restaurants, and just steps from Ciutadella Park and the sea, this neighborhood is one of the most sought-after and distinctive areas of Barcelona. A Property for Future Vision This townhouse is perfect for those seeking a versatile space to combine residence and creativity, or simply enjoy a unique refuge in the heart of the city that has it all. With award-winning architecture and exceptional design, this property is not just a home: it is a habitable work of art.
