Modern tradition
Originally built in the 1990s, the residence is a traditional Ibiza home that features stunning views toward Ibiza Old Town. The renovation had two primary goals: to embrace the traditional bohemian style of the region, combined with modern comforts and to create more open-plan, interconnected spaces for better circulation.
Functional Layout
The first design gesture was to replicate the existing arc shape, found in the exterior porch arches as well as inside the residence. This, along with the use of handcrafted “stucco” lime wash in various textures preserves the traditional aesthetic of the home. The arc shape also becomes an inspiration for the custom made kitchen island that stands as a social focal point within the villa, along with the spacious living area, which features a double-height ceiling.
A new, bespoke staircase comprised of light, elegant “floating” steps as well as a central hanging chandelier become the protagonists of the living room. In parallel, the interior arch –a reminder of the old house –anchors the different rooms. To preserve a level of privacy throughout the residence, the other bedrooms are positioned organically around the central area, opening directly to their own individual outdoor space.
Material Palette & Custom Furniture
The residence features Bohemian-inspired furnishings and lighting, along with materials such as aged oak wood, stucco, and porcelain accents. Both the interior and exterior flooring is made of large Italian tiles. The custom made wooden bed situated in the open-concept master bedroom overlooks breath-taking views of the sea and the city. The bathroom features a stunning Cocoon bathtub, while an abundance of natural light enters the space.
Modern Amenities
The villa has been equipped with underfloor heating, a rooftop Jacuzzi, swimming pool with warm water as well as a steam room. Finally, the pool redesign consists of two shallow pools with fountains and seating as well as a ten-meter swimming area with a bar and a seating lounge. The residence is a unique blend of modern and traditional architecture that establishes fluid relationships between the interior and exterior spaces.
