Gothic Shelter 1

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Gothic Shelter 1 - ESCUDELLERS is located close to the Ramblas and just a short walk from
the sea. It is a living part of Barcelona Gothic Quarter’s remarkable history.
There has been a property on the site since the 15th century and the present
building was constructed in 1769.
Behind the gloriously illustrated original façade are three buildings totaling
approximately 1,500m2. Under the guidance of Norvet Elite Projects Team
and renowned restoration specialist Xaviert Guitart, the property is being
transformed into 16 apartments designed for modern living. They combine
the best of Barcelona’s traditional artistry with tomorrow’s smart-home
technology.
The result is a one-of-a-kind opportunity.

Smart-home technology puts the power of comfort and security literally
into the palm of your hand.
Use your smartphone to set your living environment exactly how you want
it. Change the light levels or temperature before you arrive. Enjoy piece
of mind while you’re away by consulting your home security systems from
anywhere in the world.
Your control over the technology of your home extends to controlling the
costs. An energy-efficient apartment means not only savings for you but
also a more sustainable, environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Norvet’s Elite Projects Department doesn’t just build spacious, stylish
homes – it builds smarter ways of living.
is your key to Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and your
gateway to its nightlife, street life and cultural life. This is the historic heart
of the city. Barcino, the 3rd century BC Roman settlement that gave Barcelona
its name, was founded here.
Today, this labyrinth of narrow backstreets is lined with laid-back bars,
exclusive clubs and lively squares. The original Roman walls and medieval
masterpieces are still here, but many of its landmarks date from later centuries.
One of them is Plaça George Orwell – the site of ESCUDELLERS.
The plaza is now named after the 20th-century British author – famous for
writing Homage to Catalonia, 1984 and Animal Farm – but it has existed
since the Middle Ages. At its center of its bustling cafes and terraces is a
swirling sculpture by Catalan surrealist Leandre Cristòfol.

As you take a walk around the Gothic Quarter today, you can easily imagine
what life was like in the past: the sounds of horses’ hooves echoing in these
small narrow alleys and traders shouting their daily specials. It is an area rich
in history and soaked in atmosphere.
To help keep that spirit of Barcelona alive, Norvet is investing enormous
resources to preserve and restore the old city – and add the best of what
the 21st century has to offer. We are enhancing this beautiful piece of
architecture with cutting-edge construction techniques and new
technologies.
Expert artisans and restoration specialists will apply traditional skills and
time-proven know-how to protect and preserve the property’s heritage.
Contemporary materials and technology will complement their work and
ensure that ESCUDELLERS achieves the maximum energy efficiency
rating and climate optimization.
