With its boho-meets-Med spirit, this Barcelona new build makes a serious design splash

SUN, SEA, STYLE

You might say interior designer Carlos Pujol had a blank slate with this Barcelona new build, but he also had stiff competition. With startling views over the city, sea and the famed Sagrada Familia church, the airy abode has the type of outlook that could easily overshadow any interior. Creating a home that lives up to such surroundings is no easy feat.

Surprisingly, the starry location wasn't even the first choice. The clients - a family of six comprising three young boys, one girl, plus a dog - originally hoped to reimagine an existing historic structure, but the city's rigid urban planning gummed up the process. Landing instead on this scenic plot in the green-flecked Horta Guinardó suburb, they were committed to creating a space rooted in the Mediterranean spirit. "They are cool, open to the world,' says Carlos, noting the family's interest in what he calls bohemian chic' interiors.
