^{The typical Barcelona apartment}

A typical Barcelona apartment building was built at the end of the 19th century in the art nouveau architectural style for which Barcelona is known. One of our favourite districts is the elegant district of L'Eixample, as it showcased Modernista architecture, including Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Família. Slightly tucked away from the busier areas around La Rambla, and the district of L'Eixample has a celebrated dining scene, along with high-end boutiques.

Around this area we find apartments in buildings that boast a range of traditional features such as mosaic flooring, beams, traditional doors; all that we will preserve and restore, giving the home the August touch. The potential Family Collection location home may be located within the sought after areas of L'Eixample Dret, Eixample Esquerra Las Corts and Dreta de l'Eixample.

The Family Collection Barcelona home offers plenty of space for up to 4-6 guests, providing space for your family and friends. The apartment will have a minimum of two bedrooms and two bathrooms.  In Barcelona you'll find most of the apartment buildings are six stories high, as high risers are not common however, the style of these buildings often come with a lot of history and character so its very typical to have one or two balconies facing the street, with French wooden windows, and to block direct sunlight in the summer they usually have louvred shutters too.

Throughout the apartment, you may come across the infamous mosaic floor tiles, these have such a charming effect on the property with the art nouveau patterns, usually detailed and colourful; which showcases the local craftsmanship and the history of architecture and design in Barcelona. The August Real Estate team always has preservation, renovations and restoration in mind when they view the properties. Many of Barcelona's apartment buildings have a certain look, some may feature Gothic architecture, and some may be a Romanesque build!

We are thoughtful when it comes to where the interiors for the home are sourced as we're committed to working and connecting with local, sustainable suppliers that provide the utmost comfort, all while combining with the textures, styles and colours of the regional influences that all make you feel at home.
