antares, which is being developed by the shaftesbury asset management group, will comprise 30 stories and a total of 89 residences. located on avinguda diagonal, one of barcelona’s broadest and most important avenues, the building will offer a selection of 1- to 4-bedroom residences and duplexes. homes will feature spacious balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, and terraces that provide encompassing views of the catalan capital.
the building’s interiors, including the lobby, have also been designed by odile decq
‘antares is my first residential development and its design speaks to the heart of my philosophy to bring originality and innovation to everything I do,’ explains odile decq. ‘I hope antares sets a new standard for what a luxury building can be. from the building’s architecture, which embraces the beauty of the surrounding barcelona area, all the way to the finishes in the interiors, I have taken the utmost care and consideration into every aspect of its design.’
terraces provide encompassing views of the catalan capital
antares will also feature a curated collection of lifestyle and wellness amenities for residents. these include: a sky terrace complete with an infinity pool on the building’s roof; a separate floor of wellness amenities including a state-of-the-art gym, yoga room, indoor pool and sauna, treatment rooms, and relaxation areas; and a spacious private garden area and porte-cochère.
