Every kitchen needs a focal point. In the modern kitchen that is often draped in neutral hues and has an understated appeal, a simple infusion of color can get this done without much effort.

Some go down the simple colorful backsplash route while others could choose a change in the color scheme of the kitchen cabinets. But for the eat-in kitchen or the kitchen with breakfast bar, it is the bar stools and the bar chairs that add color and do so with a hint of playfulness.

  • The Ibiza Campo Loft

    The Ibiza Campo Loft
    A total transformation from an old abandoned warehouse to a dreamy loft on the island of Ibiza. On a remote mountain field in the rugged north of Ibiza lies this beautiful island home. What formerly
    served as a workshop and storage, has now been turned into a contemporary dream house. The owner of
    Ibiza Interiors and the Nieuw developed this 100 year old warehouse into a design guesthouse and
    showcase project. When interior architect Jurjen van Hulzen saw the structure and location of the building, the concept for the design was born. Concrete columns and steel beams were carrying a typical Ibizan ‘sabina beam’ roof. A mix of the industrial structure combined with the rustic roof formed the concept for the rest of the design: an interesting play and contrast between rustic and industrial. That’s also how it’s got the name ‘Campo Loft’, which basically means ‘industrial open living space on the field’. The beautiful traditional building structure has been preserved to keep the character of the typical Ibizan
    architecture. Basic and local materials have been used; a concrete floor, chalk and mud plastered stone
    walls and ‘sabina beams’ made from trees that only grow on the island. A new material that has been
    incorporated into the house is steel. A powdercoated steel is used for the window frames and doors, and
    there’s a custom made raw steel kitchen. The building had been unused for many years, and was in very poor condition. Therefore only the walls and parts of the roof could remain. Electricity, water and sewage were not present, the architects had to add all these things to make it work as a contemporary home. Water comes from a private well and there are solar panels installed for hot water, floor heating and electricity. The house is consequently completely independent of the grid operation and is thus self-sustainable. Owner Jurjen van Hulzen designed a well thought through floor plan, with a big open space on the south
    side of the building, with views all over the valley. The main space is connected to the big private terrace.
    The two bedrooms have been place on the north side corners of the building, to keep them dark and cool.
    Then there’s a dining space with build-in bench and roof light, that really made this ‘lost’ space part of the
    loft. And a bathroom with free standing bath with openable windows, to be able to get a fireplace and
    nature view when you’re bathing. The bathroom has herringbone pattern floor made from terra cotta tiles, a modern interpretation of the traditional Spanish floor. The loft has been designed to become a comfortable and modern space. A house with a basic, natural but high-end character. To finish of the design they have collaborated with their familiar project partners: 100% natural beds from Coco-mat, and all the furniture, lighting, curtains and carpets are from their partner store The Modern in Amsterdam. The urban and rough steel kitchen island with marble top is from Eginstill. And the walls have been decorated with art from gallery Vroom & Varossieau. They’ve used the bath and sink from Not Only White, and the taps and shower are designed by Piet Boon for Cocoon. The result is a fantastic contemporary natural residence where contrast plays a big role; old and new, sleek and rustic, light and dark, rough and soft. At the same time there’s a certain balance as well, and
    everywhere you look something is happening. With an incredible view from the mountain, a yoga platform
    on the roof and many fruit trees and a vegetable garden, this is truly a piece of paradise. The Campo Loft is now being used as a showcase project and guesthouse. A unique place to relax and unwind, designed by and for design lovers.
