"Com era treballar en un lloc com la Pedrera?
La Pedrera donava un caire molt especial al meu negoci. A mi m’agradava molt treballar-hi; a més, no calia ni dir l’adreça, dient la Pedrera ja n’hi havia prou. Sempre li he tingut un gran respecte, ja des de nen, quan el meu avi em duia a passejar pel passeig de Gràcia. Crec que és un edifici extraordinari i el més interessant i SENSIBLE de l’obra de Gaudí."

accessible
In the sense that its spirit, purpose, aesthetic, etc. can be grasped more or less instantly by lay people (i.e., by anyone who happens not to be a professional critic or pundit).
This term has been gaining currency in the last few years, at least this side of the Pond, among, yes, critics....!
Cheers,
Heather

q té personalitat, que es "comunica" amb la gent
Tambe podria ser sensible in the sense of noticeable (q no passa desaparcebut) though I'm not sure this would be the one, for La Sagrada Família is far more noticeable.

Don't know if it's exactly the same but then again what is 'un edificio sensible'?.
maybe you could change around the sentence and get in 'feeling' somewhere.
