At Cameron Fraser's house
An Australian artist and an Italian architect arrive in Barcelona and fall in love. With each other and both with the city. That was 9 years ago now, and their family has grown with the addition of little Marta, all of them witnesses to the profound transformation of pre-Olympic Poblenou.
Cameron Fraser He is a painter and printmaker, a very particular and rare discipline. In Barcelona he feels very comfortable and happy, and divides his life between his home and his studio, one of those raw, raw lofts on Carrer de Pallars, in that Barcelona so reminiscent of Dumbo…
Leila Cantamessa she is an architect and is in charge of the refurbishment of the house they bought in Poblenou. They wanted a house with character, with history in its floors and walls, a rough diamond. And they found it. An old house with a pitched roof, a fireplace and a non-bathroom, a gallery overlooking the interior courtyard, from which you can see the factories, the workshops, the courtyards. A precious interior landscape where Barcelona shows itself just as it is, as beautiful as a woman who has just woken up.
It was repaired, polished, enlarged, and filled with Cameron's precious paintings, and furniture, and treasures from here and there... One man's rubbish is another man's treasure! And in the adjacent flat that they don't occupy, they run a bed and breakfast Super cute for anyone wanting to experience the city like a local, no fuss.
Cameron and Leila are true treasure hunters… And we share with them the conviction that life goes by happily if you put love into everything you do.
