yök Casa + Cultura

yök Casa + Cultura is three eco-renovated boutique sustainable apartments (Casa). All 3 apartments are on the 3rd floor in a building date back to 1900 and our office is a rooftop terrace on the 8th floor an extension from the 70ies. The spaces were renovated following eco-design principles and respecting the Catalan Modernism features like the high decorative ceilings, gorgeous mosaic tiles, beautiful etched glass and amazing wooden sliding balcony doors. A great effort was put into re-using materials and adding VOC-free, recyclable ones to the mix. Local products and materials were used whenever possible. Smart water and energy saving devices help save resources without sacrificing the guests’ experience and the hosts offset their CO2 emissions every year.

While Casa refers to the apartment lettings, Cultura is another important side of the project. In our multi-functional rooftop office, we organise events for both, our visitors and barcelonians. It is important for us to not create yet another tourist bubble in a city badly affected by mass tourism, but instead show that a different tourism, and a business good for People, Planet and Profit, is possible.
