Barcelona Call District property restoration
His passion for art, history and
Barcelona, prompted a financier, collector and intrepid traveler to hang
his unpolluted white suit with Panama included in a main floor
apartment located in the Call, the old Jewish Quarter of Barcelona. But
before this, he had already sheated inside his working overall, during a
long season dedicated to rebuilding the foundations of this lordly 18th
century property, whose structure had been seriously damaged by a
bombing during the civil war. All wooden floorings and ceramic tiles
were removed, discovering the wooden beams and ceramic filler blocks.
With the help of estyrodur molds, new reinforced concrete beams were
placed and connected to the existing beams by steel pins and sewed to
the perimeter walls with high strength resins mortar. The same work was
performed at the level of the main walls, repairing an endless number of
cracks and breaks and unifying the height of the lintels on the go.
Once the structure was consolidated, it
was carried out a thorough reorganization of spaces, recovering the
generous measures of the living rooms, hallways and courtyard, in this
case built over the footprint of a watchtower of the fourth century
Roman wall, which seating stone can be seen at the base of the perimeter
walls.
The rest was, -always with a connoisseur
touch-, combining hunting trophies together, fruits of hours of
stalking and tracking in antiques markets of the world, to form an
exquisite picture, bathed in the precious twilight of a Vermeer domestic
scene. Such as it was a Baroque still-life, furniture, sculptures and
textiles imported from the five continents, wait, as impassive as
expectant, the return home of the Girl with a Pearl, whose infinite and
kind glance will bring them this dreamed peace at the end of their
journey.
