Spectacular duplex penthouse in Pedralbes.

Possibly the best penthouse in Barcelona, ​​designed by the prestigious architect Jose Luis Sert, who was called the Catalan Le Corbusier and who was once dean of the Harvard University of Architecture. The building separates its façade from the street line, trying to generate a vegetal skin that serves as perimeter protection for the entire built complex. In this way, the pre-existing plant mass on the site is highlighted, composed of centuries-old pines and firs that are maintained and isolate the building from the streets and outside noises.
The unevenness of the site is softened by platforms that incorporate the program of the entire complex. The parking lot is located in the lowest part, the property has 4 large parking spaces and a storage room.
The complex has an unparalleled community space with a garden area, swimming pool, gym and meeting room
Regarding the typology of housing, Sert resorts to already tested solutions. Based on the modern Lecorbuserian duplex scheme, the layout chosen by the architect places the daytime rooms on the lower floor. The living room, facing south, grows in height thanks to a small double-height terrace. A solution with direct relation to the Esprit Nouveau pavilion and Le Corbusier's Immeubles-villas. This interior design comes to the outside in the form of a façade that is composed of a rhythm of voids and fullness, lights and shadows that will determine the true essence and aesthetics of the building. The bedrooms are located on the upper floor.
On the central floor we find the day area and the master bedroom suite. We access this floor from the elevator, and there we find the entrance hall with incredible views of the landscape, and two spaces dedicated to the living room, one of them as a living room and the other as a living room with access to the terrace. In the adjacent room is the dining room that in turn communicates with the office and the kitchen. On the other side of the entrance hall we find the master suite, with an anteroom and the dressing room with a full bathroom. This floor is completed by a guest toilet and the service area, with the ironing room and a service bedroom en suite with a full bathroom. On the lower floor we find a large room, which can be divided into several spaces, which could be additional bedrooms, offices, gym, home cinema room. This area has a full bathroom. Completing this floor: an en-suite bedroom with a full bathroom, a library that preserves the original elements, which can be transformed into another bedroom, which also has a full en-suite bathroom, and another en-suite bedroom with a full bathroom. Courtesy toilet is this floor.
Although today the composition and distribution could be varied. Today it is distributed in 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and a toilet, fireplace, air conditioning but with infinite possibilities in its more than 700 sqm.
Each of the windows perfectly frames the profile of today's Barcelona with spectacular views.
The house preserves Sert's own original designs such as a spectacular marble library or original bathroom countertops or the Catalan ceramic vault.
The home is completed with a private garden terrace and rooftop pool.
An unparalleled reference of the rationalist era, living in a work of art is well worth a visit.
