One of the few rationalist houses left in Bonanova, on a corner plot above the city, restored for a large family.
Torre Bonanova was built in 1931 for a family of textile merchants, in the rationalist style that reached Barcelona with the GATCPAC architects: white render, steel windows and a rounded balcony on the corner. The restoration kept the plan, the windows and the stair, and renewed everything behind the walls.
The ground floor opens to the garden through four tall doors, with the living room, library and dining room in a row and the kitchen behind. The main suite takes the corner of the first floor, under the curve of the balcony. Two more bedrooms share that floor, and the top floor has three, with a studio lit from three sides.
The garden
The garden wraps the house on the south and west. Olive trees, some older than the house, shade a gravel terrace, and a lawn runs down to a stone wall along the street. A lift runs from the garage to every floor.
Afternoons are the reason to be here. From lunch until it sets behind Collserola, the sun moves across the garden front and fills the ground floor through the tall doors.
Where the light falls.
We visit every home at nine, one and six. This is what the sun does here.

Sarrià
A former village at the foot of Collserola, with a main street of old shops and houses with gardens on the slopes above.
The neighbourhood sits on a slope that faces south, so most houses look over the city to the sea and keep the sun through winter afternoons.

you’d live in it.
Viewings run three times a day, so you can see the home in the light you care about.
