Description
Extraordinary apartment located in an early-20th-century building—dating to around 1910—that has undergone a comprehensive renovation carried out with judgment and sensitivity, preserving and enhancing all of its most architecturally significant original elements.
The home retains exposed solid-wood beams in the ceilings, listed exposed-brick walls, interior masonry arches, and the distinctive balconies with semicircular arches on the façade—an unmistakable hallmark of Barcelona’s residential architecture of the period—while all of this coexists in perfect harmony with entirely new installations and finishes.
The layout centers on a generous double-height living-dining room that connects to the bedroom area through a large sliding door made of reclaimed wood on an industrial rail, a solution that respects the building’s original structure while giving the whole space great flexibility. A second sliding door with the same features separates the private area from the study-bedroom.
"The result is a home that does not renounce the building’s history: you live among century-old bricks and original beams, but with all the comfort and efficiency of a high-end contemporary renovation."

Location: Ciutat Vella, Barcelona
El Carrer d'en Xuclà belongs to the upper part of El Raval, the strip of the neighborhood that naturally connects with the Eixample and brings together the best of historic Barcelona: human-scale streets, well-preserved 19th- and early-20th-century architecture, and a calm, residential atmosphere that contrasts with the bustle of the most touristy areas of the old town.
This location represents the most serene and authentic face of El Raval. Far from the mass tourism that characterizes the south of the neighborhood and La Rambla, Upper Raval is now one of the most highly valued areas for those who want to live in Barcelona’s historic center without giving up quality of life: clean streets, a stable community, local shops, and a genuine neighborhood identity that few parts of the old town can offer.
The street has medieval origins and its layout has remained virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages, preserving that intimate, pedestrian character that makes it especially pleasant to live on. The building fits perfectly into this historic urban fabric, with its characteristic early-20th-century Barcelona apartment-building façade.
"Upper Raval is the neighborhood chosen by those who truly know Barcelona: all the authenticity of the old town, without the noise or overcrowding, and with the Eixample, the Gothic Quarter, and Plaça de Catalunya literally just around the corner."
