The clients, an American couple with a son in college, had a clear idea of what they wanted for their second home in Barcelona. An airy, light-filled, inviting apartment with the unique charm of a home that brings back the essence of the past.

The commission entrusted to Estudio vilablanch was very specific: the full renovation of a 140 m2 art nouveau apartment in the Eixample district in Barcelona that would restore the property's original elegance while also conveying a sense of spaciousness.

To meet the challenge, Estudio vilablanch carried out a complete renovation and interior decorating project that focused on exploring the fullest potential of each space and preserving all the original elements that had particular historical or contextual value.
