This project involved the full renovation of a home in a listed building in Barcelona’s Eixample district, protected as city heritage. The intervention was planned from the outset with criteria of architectural conservation, energy efficiency, and low environmental impact.
Original elements from the late 19th century were recovered and revalued, such as:
These materials not only have historical and aesthetic value, but are sustainable by nature: durable, repairable, and free of toxic compounds.
The interior redistribution allowed for expanded spaces, enhanced natural light, and facilitated cross-ventilation, reducing reliance on artificial heating, ventilation, and lighting systems.
Furthermore, work was carried out exclusively from the interior, respecting the original envelope and using materials compatible with the building’s breathability, maintaining its structural health.
The project included a respectful home staging phase, designed to enhance spatial and material values without generating waste or over-intervention. Functional furniture, warm lighting, and natural textiles were used to reinforce the property’s original character without concealing it.

Yes. Through interior interventions, respect for original materials, and passive comfort strategies, it is possible to rehabilitate sustainably without altering the historical value of the property.
Preserving existing materials avoids waste, safeguards the constructive memory, and reduces the need for new materials with a high ecological footprint.
It promotes the use of natural light, cross-ventilation, and the building’s thermal inertia, reducing energy consumption and increasing passive comfort.
Yes, when it is based on minimal intervention, respecting existing elements, and using durable, natural, and reusable materials.
