With sales on the rise, the luxury real estate market continues its growth worldwide after several years in crisis, as ‘Christie’s’ report – which analyses the luxury real estate market − claims. In this report we can find how de disposition of the houses is evolving and what makes them unique and exclusive.
Art as centre of the house
In some properties, art is one of the main attractives. These new contemporary art galleries, inside someone’s home, are making the owners of luxury properties demand houses with high ceilings and spacious walls, so they can have their pieces on display. What’s more, the windows of these houses, where art is kept, usually protect the pieces − a special glass is used so the sun does not harm them.
Books
Nowadays we can find more often big libraries inside homes, especially in luxury houses. They promote cultural heritage through the value of knowledge, time and experience.
Rare private museums
The most important art collectors are starting to open their private collections to the general public. By doing this, they can show their legacy and their particular vision of this area of research.
Cars
In luxury homes, the garage is not just a place where vehicles are parked. In these spaces the owners pay tribute to the best car galleries and the art of the automobile industry – Rotating platforms, neon lights and unique decoration. It is common to find either vintage fixtures or the latest trends when decorating – vintage petrol pumps, lifts, water hoses and a complete equipment so their car is in a perfect state. In some occasions we can also find big screens or bar cabinets so the owners and their visitants can enjoy a complete entertainment just right by these master pieces – their precious cars.
Cellars
These spaces have evolved until becoming small tasting rooms. They are still private and intimate spaces, but they now allow guests that can appreciate the family collection, enjoying the display as well – led lights that make the bottles look great but without damaging them because of the heat or little waterfalls or interior fountains that favour humidity, give a sophisticated touch to the decoration.
In Atipika Barcelona we take the luxury experience to the highest level. We suggest that you take a look at this 248sq m house, in a luxury estate, with communal garden and swimming pool, located in the heart of Pedralbes – one of the most exclusive areas in Barcelona.
