Girona St. Apartment: Where Historic Grandeur Meets Contemporary Design

Nestled in the heart of Barcelona, Spain, the Girona St. Apartment is a masterclass in architectural reinvention by the talented team at Raúl Sánchez Architects. Housed in a grand 19th-century estate, this apartment cleverly harnesses the luminosity and ventilation of its dual-facing location. This unique asset guided its remarkable 2023 redesign, manifesting in an extensive walnut façade that navigates the apartment’s 21 meters (68.9 feet) length. The interior is an intriguing blend of collective and private spaces, each imbued with their own distinct character and aesthetic. From the cozy zones bathed in light from the interior courtyard's original blue-tinted windows to the personal rooms concealed behind the walnut facade, the Girona St. Apartment is a testament to thoughtful and innovative design.
