Sale of apartment in Calle Encarnació, 106, Barcelona

In the heart of Barcelona, Gràcia, a new development is emerging on Calle Encarnació. This project presents a beautifully integrated building with a street-facing façade. Constructed with a ground floor and three additional levels, it combines modern design with practical functionality. The entrance to the residences and a private studio is situated on the ground floor, where the studio enjoys exclusive access to the courtyard. The entrance, accessible from Calle Encarnació, includes essential spaces such as centralized meters, mailboxes, a designated area for bicycle parking, and the vertical circulation core.

The vertical connection within the building is facilitated by a staircase and a functional elevator, ensuring accessibility across all levels, from the ground floor to the rooftop. Each of the three residential floors features a single dwelling per landing, providing privacy and exclusivity to its residents. The rooftop, home to the community staircase enclosure, is divided into two sections: a communal green rooftop featuring extensive vegetation, photovoltaic panels, and thermal compressors that supply hot water using renewable energy.

This building is quite impressive in its sustainability efforts. The rooftop is dedicated both to energy generation and private paved areas for residents. Solar panels are projected to produce approximately 4994 kWh annually, supporting a self-consumption model. The courtyard, measuring 107 m², is a blend of semi-porous surface, herby terrain, and gardens with shrubbery, adding a touch of nature. Incorporating two trees, the core area of this garden complements the environmentally conscious design.

The energy efficiency of the building is highlighted by an A rating for CO2 emissions and a minimum B rating for heating and cooling demands. A rainwater collection system is in place to irrigate the rooftop and courtyard. Inside the apartments, the living areas, kitchens, and rooms boast a minimum height of 2.50m, while bathrooms and circulation spaces maintain a minimum of 2.20m.

Each apartment occupies an entire floor, providing two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a balcony, along with private access to part of the community rooftop. A ground-floor studio accommodates private use of the rear courtyard. The façade retains the traditional charm of the area with carefully chosen color schemes that blend seamlessly into the surroundings.

Living in this part of Barcelona offers a unique combination of vibrant city life and serene residential community. Gràcia is known for its lively atmosphere, characterized by charming streets, vibrant cultural events, and a sense of community. The location on Calle Encarnació provides easy access to an array of local amenities, including shops, cafes, and public transportation. Whether you're seeking cultural experiences or peaceful living, this location perfectly balances urban convenience with a touch of traditional beauty.
