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Completely outdated building systems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.

Renovating in the Eixample: what actually changes the outcome

In the Dreta and Esquerra de l'Eixample we work with Catalan vaults, brick partitions, block courtyards and often protected elements. A proper full renovation does not “open for the sake of it”: it resets services, improves acoustic comfort and preserves what deserves to stay.

Our method: prior diagnosis, itemised budget, permits when required and a dedicated site manager. Process guide: Barcelona turnkey. Technical chronicle: modernist flat in the Eixample.

Typical ranges: €1,000–1,900 /m². A ~100 m² flat often needs 3–5 months on site. Next step: book a meeting.
