Porreres

Posted on Thu, 8 Jun 2023 by KiM

It is a reform of an existing house in ruins, which had already been built with sandstone walls sourced from a local sandstone quarry. The house is located on the outskirts of Porreras, a town located in the center-south of the Island of Mallorca, on a plot with a certain slope and views towards the town surrounded by the northern part of an oak grove and a cultivated field where traditionally they grow apricots. Raw materials are used to build the interior of the house.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Andersen & Maillard Bakery by Danielle Siggerud Architects.

Narrow living in Spain

Posted on Mon, 22 May 2023 by midcenturyjo

This comprehensive renovation and interior design of a vacation rental building located in the old town of Valencia is by Paloma Bau Studio. Reinforcing metal rises up through the 4 floors providing not only structural support but also somewhere for sinks, furniture and accessories to be hung. Each floor is coloured zoned and a curve is used as a repeating motif. It’s an ode to living in a narrow space, exploring solutions for each floor that is only a few meters wide.

Ca S’Alou

Posted on Thu, 11 May 2023 by KiM

It’s a house designed from the materiality, to use the earth of the excavation to make the facades but also the materials of the structure such as the terracotta blocks or the interior painting that is made of earth.
A unique design was inspired by Mediterranean nostalgia and simple, minimalist aesthetics. Earthy tones, simple forms free from distraction foster relaxation and enhance the idyllic atmosphere of this magical rustic place. Outside inside is the main goal of the interior design. The materials are noble only because they are natural, not processed. They calcify over time, are affected by lichens and the wood returns to the color it really is.

So simple and textural, with a sense of grandeur that makes it really special. By Rafel Munar and Pau Munar of Mallorcan architectural studio munarq.
