The building on Johann Sebastian Bach Street is a key work by Ricardo Bofill that redefines luxury housing in Barcelona. The project presents an unusual layout: a diagonal central courtyard that extends the interior of the block, ensuring light and ventilation in every room. Its façade blends rationalism and tradition through the use of exposed brick, ceramic latticework, and wooden balconies. With only 14 apartments and landscaped penthouses, the development anticipates a freer approach to reinterpreting local architecture.
This is good to know
This project is essential for understanding Bofill’s development, marking the point at which he began experimenting with geometry and reviving artisanal tradition.
