An avant-garde oasis next to ‘El Palau de la Música Catalana’

In the ‘Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera’ area we can find this design loft located next to one of the most iconic buildings in Barcelona, ‘El Palau de la Música Catalana’, by Lluís Domenech i Muntaner. Atipika Barcelona would like to show you the architectonical oasis that this apartment is, which is also close to ‘Antic Teatre’ and ‘Mercat de Santa Caterina’. This property is full of contrasts and details - the walls, floors and illumination –, in the same way that the building by Domench i Muntaner is – ‘El Palau de la Música Catalana’ which is one of the most beautiful buildings in Barcelona.   The loft combines several open-plan spaces with an avant-garde design, respecting always architectonic elements as its exposed rock walls, the high ceilings and the hydraulic floors. These details contrast with the wooden floors in some parts of the house, the furniture with an industrial design, and its wood finishes. The kitchen is integrated in the bright living-dining room, from which you can access its two courtyards.   One of the courtyards is 11sq m and is furnished as an office, and the second one is 4sq m and it has been designed as a resting area, where you can relax on the rattan chairs, surrounded by plants.   The loft has an exterior suite with wood finishes and a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom in the suite is proof of the uniqueness and the elegance of this property, as it has thin tiles, as if they were bricks, with a shiny effect. These tiles, and all their variants, are more common in Great Britain.   The jewel of this loft is, without a doubt, its 22sq m terrace on the second floor. In this space, we find again a contrast between the original architecture and design, and the added design elements. In this way, red brick walls fusion with the creative lamps and the rattan furniture creating a chill-out area on this oasis in the centre of the city.
