A loft in one of Poblenou’s old textile mills, converted with a light hand and still recognisably a factory.
The loft takes half the first floor of a textile mill built in 1912 and converted in 2018. The structure is still on show: cast-iron columns, steel beams and a ceiling of shallow brick vaults, 4.2 metres at the highest point.
Five windows face south over Carrer de Pallars. They are three metres tall and start at knee height, so the afternoon sun reaches the far wall of the living space. The kitchen runs along the back wall under a mezzanine that holds a study.
The two bedrooms are real rooms with doors, not partitions, each with its own bathroom and a window to the inner courtyard, so they stay dark and quiet at night. The floors are polished concrete over underfloor heating.
Rambla del Poblenou is five minutes away on foot and Llacuna metro four. The building has eight lofts, a lift big enough for a sofa and a shared roof with a view of the sea, where the neighbours eat together on summer evenings.
Where the light falls.
We visit every home at nine, one and six. This is what the sun does here.

Poblenou
The old industrial district by the sea, where factories became lofts and the Rambla runs down to the beach.
Flat factory roofs face every direction at once, so the top floors of converted buildings often have sun from morning until dusk.
See it at the hour
you’d live in it.
Viewings run three times a day, so you can see the home in the light you care about.
