From the beginning, one of the most interesting propositions was the client’s focus on what her home should be like: an open free-flowing space.
The premises are located in a building’s ground floor, in the Gracia neighbourhood in Barcelona. It has been catalogued with a level C of protection (Well of Urban Interest).
