A closer look: Ricardo Bofill in Barcelona

Walden 7

I remember when I came across this building online after my second visit to Barcelona. Literally fell in love with it, I wanted so badly to see inside but I wasn’t allowed in and I didn’t see any residents. The apartment block is located in the town of Sant Just Desvern, close to Barcelona and was built in 1975. More information about the building here and some great photos of the interior by Salva Lopez here.


Right beside Walden 7 is the Bofill’s architectural firm headquarters, a repurposed cement factory. Such an interesting space, again I was only able to look around the outside of the building.
