Apartment for rent in El Poblenou, Barcelona city, Barcelona

Brand new loft-style duplex in Poblenou, just two blocks from the sea, located in the former deslite factory, an industrial complex built in the mid-19th century that has been renovated and architecturally transformed.

This beautiful designer apartment has 80 square meters of living space and features two bedrooms (one 22 square meters on the upper floor and another 8.7 square meters on the first floor). It is very bright, facing southwest, with unobstructed views. Solid brick walls provide excellent sound insulation.

The fully equipped kitchen includes appliances (washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, oven, and extractor fan).

The flooring is wood-effect porcelain tile. Built-in wardrobes and sliding doors are included.

The apartment has air conditioning (hot and cold) with an aerothermal system and underfloor heating. Home automation is also included.

The apartment has an A+ energy rating, and the building boasts the breeam certification for sustainable construction, which provides energy for the apartment's air conditioning and heating, reducing costs.

The transformation of this industrial complex has resulted in a residential development of 36 unconventional, loft-style apartments. It comprises two buildings with sawtooth roofs and facades facing two different streets: Avenida Icaria and Calle Ávila, where it borders the former siberia ice factory, both considered historic properties.

Priority has always been given to preserving the facade and the building's structure intact, given its status as an architectural, historical, and artistic heritage site.

The different facades share the same formal solutions, common in industrial buildings of the area and period: stone plinths, exposed brickwork, concrete window frames with a pronounced horizontality and muntins, and large artificial stone frames that unify the different windows to create a large architectural void, acting as a brise-soleil.

The Deslite project brings authenticity, contrast, and a connection to the neighborhood's origins.
