It's all about the view at these Barcelona hotel rooftops
While its skyline may not be defined by towering modern architecture in the same way as London or New York’s, the city of Barcelona presents a horizon that is equally — if not more — breathtaking, with its incorporation of the sea, historic landmarks and rolling greenery. A city of extraordinary sights, Barcelona presents something new with each visit, not least from these high heights, which combine awesome views with chic design and quality food and drink.

Spanish residence Casa OS is a superb lesson in modernist architecture
Spanish architect Pablo Oriol founded Nolaster in 2005 with colleague Fernando Rodriguez. Working together since 2002, the firm racked up an impressive portfolio of collaborators including Fujikawa, Johnson & Associates and MVRDV. In 2008, Oriol and Rodriguez took the next career step by forming new practice FRPO, a ‘natural evolution of their personal experiences.’ Prior to this, in 2006 (W*96), Wallpaper* visited Nolaster’s Casa OS, a camouflaged modernist residence designed for Oriol’s parents.
