Casa Burés: interior design and restoration project

Casa Burés, a modernist jewel

Casa Burés is a modernist building on the right side of the Ensanche of Barcelona, which is located in the chamfer of Ausiàs March and Girona streets. A magnificent modernist building, work of Miquel Pascual and Francesc Berenguer, that was built between the years 1900 and 1905.

In total, the building sums 7.000 meters squared distributed in six floors and that is catalogued with a level B of protection as cultural asset and of local interest since 1979. This makes it essential to keep, preserve and renovate all the modernist elements catalogued that compose the building, from the facade to the yard and the interior stairs. A challenge that the architect Juan Trias de Bes, head of the integral rehabilitation’s project, and the interior designers team of vilablanch studio have been able to give answer. Vilablanch studio, specialists in high standing houses restoration, has developed an architectonic and interior design project that could adapt to all the functional necessities, distribution and commodities of the daily life and, at the same time, recover and potentiate to the maximum the original elements of the buildings.
