In the heart of Barcelona, this townhouse residence was reimagined as a study in contemporary classic design, where timeless architectural details meet modern refinement. The clients, a family relocating from abroad, wanted a home that honored the historic character of its setting while providing the ease and comfort of updated living.

The brief emphasized three priorities: preserve original architectural features, maximize natural light within narrow townhouse proportions, and introduce a design language that blended tradition with contemporary elegance. Manor’s response was a careful layering of restored moldings, sleek custom cabinetry, and neutral palettes accented with refined finishes. The interiors flow seamlessly, with open-plan living areas that maintain intimacy while offering flexibility for family gatherings and entertaining.

Bespoke furniture selections and curated artwork added depth and individuality, while subtle contrasts—matte surfaces paired with polished details, soft fabrics with structured forms—created a visual rhythm throughout the home. Strategic lighting design highlighted both restored features and new interventions, celebrating the townhouse’s history while elevating it with modern sensibility.

The result is a residence that feels classic yet current, deeply rooted in its context yet attuned to the needs of contemporary living. The Belgravia Mews reflects Manor’s ability to create spaces where heritage and modernity exist in perfect harmony.
