a lifetime
A Modernist masterpiece
in Barcelona’s core
Barcelona was at the forefront of the Modernist movement in the late 19th Century and is famed
and admired around the world for its Modernist architecture. Over the years the city’s most iconic
buildings in the Eixample district have been converted into world-class museums, exclusive hotels
and the headquarters of some of the world’s leading organizations.
All except one.
Casa Burés offers you the possibility of living in one of the
world’s most impressive Modernist buildings.

A once in
a lifetime
opportunity
Only here, Only now
Only very rarely do the most unique and exclusive elements come together
to produce something that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Offering 26 exquisitely refurbished apartments including lofts, and penthouses
with an array of premium services and luxuriant communal areas,
there has never been an opportunity like this in Barcelona.
And there will never be again.

the building
One of a kind for over
one hundred years
Constructed between 1900 and 1905, Casa Burés takes its name from its first owner,
Francesc Burés, owner of Industrias Burés, one of Spain’s most successful textile companies.
Originally, the ground floor housed the company’s headquarters while the 1,000 m2 first
floor was the Burés family home. The upper floors – which were accessed by one of the
first lifts to be installed in Barcelona – then comprised nine 300 m2 rental apartments.
The building’s façade at the junction of Carrer Ausiàs March and Carrer Girona is just
as imposing today as when it was first built. It is inside, however, where
Casa Burés’ greatest treasures are to be found.

Modernism in all its splendour
The interior décor of Casa Burés brings together works of extraordinary beauty,
crafted by the leading artisans of the period. It is a symphony of stone, glass, wood, mosaic
and wrought iron, all worked with unsurpassed mastery.

the renovations
Modernist values
The renovation of Casa Burés not only preserves the building’s structure and its
listed decorative elements, but also maintains all the advantages of its Modernist
architecture: light, space, habitability, high-quality materials and maximum comfort.

Preservation of the Past
Nothing is forgotten.
Every door, window, ceiling, floor, sculpture and pane of stained glass has been
meticulously studied by experts in Catalonia’s Modernist heritage.
The most valuable elements were restored by specialist craftsmen, while others
were replaced by identical pieces adapted to suit today’s purposes
or given a new lease of life as decorative features.

the architect
Francesc Berenguer i Mestres
In 1900, Francesc Berenguer i Mestres,
who often worked closely with Antoni Gaudí,
was commissioned by Francesc Burés to design
and build Casa Burés. Although he designed one
of Barcelona’s most iconic Modernist buildings,
Berenguer never officially qualified as
an architect, and for this reason the building
was constructed under the name of the
firm Miquel Pascual i Tintorer.
Craftsmen and
restorers
Great craftsmen, whose names have gone
down in history, lent their skill, time and effort
to turn Casa Burés into a jewel in the crown
of Modernist architecture.
The interior design, furniture and lighting
by Gaspar Homar, the paintings and
scenery by Oleguer Junyent, the stained-glass
windows by Antoni Brodalba and the
sculptural reliefs by Joan Carreras are
undeniably individual works of art in themselves.
The renovations were carried out in collaboration
with leading firms and professionals specializing
in the restoration of Modernist
art and architecture.
the residences
twenty six exclusive luxury homes
Creative, traditional, classic or contemporary: whatever your profile, Casa Burés offers an option to match
your lifestyle and outlook. The renovation process has reinterpreted the building’s Modernist values and
adapted them to suit different lifestyles, in the form of twenty six exclusive, luxurious properties:
Three Lofts, 210 to 235 m2
Two Burés Residences, 450 and 485 m2
Sixteen Berenguer Apartments, 120 to 170 m2
Five Penthouses, 160 to 275 m2

the lofts
A space that embraces originality.
The ground floor, which hummed with activity when it housed the offices of the Burés textile
company more than a hundred years ago, has been divided into three spectacular lofts.
This industrial heritage has been maintained through the use of bright, open spaces that
incorporate the building’s original, large wrought-iron columns, complemented by a new,
glazed gallery designed to optimize natural light whilst maintaining privacy.
These imaginative and original spaces showcase designer living at its most creative.

THE BURÉS RESIDENCES
Authentic works of art.
Two residences that are genuinely unlike anything else in Barcelona, with a uniqueness that goes
beyond the luxury elements and unparallelled space they offer. Each residence contains a number
of valuable architectural and decorative elements that form part of the history of Modernism and
one is independently accessed from the vestibule via an imposing stone staircase
Their elegant, sophisticated interior design is a modern-day expression of the luxury and
exclusivity that the stately apartments of Casa Burés represented at the turn of the 20th century.
Each room is just as dazzling today as they were in the building’s heyday, and once again
offering the last word in comfort and convenience.

THE BERENGUER APARTMENTS
Tradition, style and functionality.
These former rental apartments have been lovingly restored and present
a unique opportunity for true lovers of the Eixample district.
With a variety of options for size and layout, some facing the street and others the
tranquil inner courtyard, all of these apartments preserve the building’s Modernist
air thanks to their high ceilings, large picture windows and hand-tiled mosaic floors.
The fresh, welcoming interior décor combines traditional style with functional
touches such as the combined living room and kitchen.

THE PENTHOUSES
A more contemporary vision.
Five magnificent penthouses, two of which are split-level, crown the new Casa Burés.
An area once dedicated to service and storage has been transformed into a selection
of minimalist, contemporary living spaces.
The new architectural design preserves the most iconic elements such as the
balustrades and sloping ceilings, while adding new touches such as skylights that
bring brightness and originality to the space.
