Why Eixample is different

Technical specificities of Eixample Barcelona

Catalan vault and original floor structures

Many Eixample flats retain their original Catalan vault. Intervention requires specific knowledge and structural assessment to determine whether reinforcement or replacement is needed.

PEPPA heritage protection

Barcelona's PEPPA plan protects many Eixample elements: galleries, bay windows, facade ornamentation. Any exterior intervention requires a specific heritage permit.

Completely outdated building systems

1920s-60s Eixample buildings have ungrounded electrical installations, lead plumbing and no HVAC. A full renovation means replacing everything from scratch.

3.5-4 metre ceilings

The generous ceiling heights allow creative volume plays: local double heights, full-height built-ins, zenithal lighting. We leverage these possibilities in every project.
