An oasis of contemporary design and historic soul in the heart of Cornellà

Imagine arriving home along a quiet, semi-pedestrian street in the old town, opening the door and immediately experiencing an absolute sense of peace, space and natural light. This detached single-family home embodies that difficult-to-find balance: the character and charm of a preserved historic façade combined with a comprehensive architectural reconstruction carried out by the UMA Projectes studio.

As soon as you cross the threshold, the entrance hall welcomes you with an impressive ceiling height of almost five metres, where the restored traditional Catalan vaulted ceiling coexists in perfect harmony with an elegant designer cantilevered staircase. Top light, filtered through skylights and generous high-performance windows, bathes every corner of the home in warmth throughout the day.

The heart of the house is its approximately 40 m² social area: an open-plan, welcoming space designed for sharing and enjoyment. Its designer kitchen, equipped with a large central island and Silestone countertops, flows seamlessly into the living room, allowing you to cook while chatting with your guests or enjoy an afternoon of relaxation in maximum comfort. The property has two bedrooms, two full bathrooms with contemporary lines, and two accessible mezzanines offering unique versatility—ideal as a home office, reading nook or additional storage space. The property offers 79.21 m² of internal usable floor area (reaching 92 m² of cadastral built area and 111 m² of total computable area including the mezzanines and outdoor spaces).

The exterior is a true private sanctuary: an intimate terrace of approximately 18 m² with bamboo decking, designed to help you disconnect from the daily routine. Imagine ending the day immersed in its jacuzzi beneath the stars, hosting a dinner in its outdoor summer kitchen or enjoying breakfast in the open air. It also features a water-treatment area and concealed laundry facilities, ensuring a consistently clean and uncluttered appearance.

Technically, this is not a conventional renovation, but an entirely new building completed between late 2022 and 2023, constructed to the highest efficiency standards and awarded an outstanding Energy Rating C. It features comprehensive heat-pump climate control, a water softener, high-grade thermal and acoustic insulation, advanced home automation and pre-installation for Dolby Atmos 9.1 surround sound for home-cinema enthusiasts. As an added future benefit, the structure was designed to allow for an additional floor, subject to the relevant applications and urban-planning regulations.
