Àtic Eixample

The building is a modernista block on a grid street in the right Eixample, with a carved stone doorway and a lift that opens onto a tiled landing. The apartment occupies the attic floor, where the roofline slopes and a private terrace runs along the courtyard side. From the terrace, the street below is quiet and the grid of the Eixample stretches away in even lines.

The living room keeps its original hydraulic floor tiles, patterned in faded greens and ochres, and a row of low windows under the roof beams. A sofa and a round table fill the middle of the room; the kitchen is open along one wall. Two bedrooms sit under the attic slope, and two bathrooms were added at the back. The terrace holds a table, two chairs and a small lemon tree in a pot.
