This is not a home for lovers of minimalist chic. Still, it's one of our favourites in the collection – and not just because it's located in the heart of Eixample. Personifying the Catalan modernist desire to go beyond the obvious, it surprised us with unexpected detail on every corner. From the washbasin in the study to the cut-out wall between the kitchen and the dining room, lion-head knockers on the kitchen drawers, baroque details invade modernist patterns every step of the way.

About Eixample
Eixample is overflowing with greenery – trees line the quiet streets and you're never far away from a square to relax in.
