Luxury Villa Incorporates Rocky Formations and Sea Views | Villa A

ByMyProperty Life

Located in a unique natural setting, facing Corfu Island and Ksamil Beaches and surrounded by turquoise waters, Villa A lies on top of the north peninsula of Kep Merli. The design of the house is based on the concept of creating a space that finds itself comfortable with its surrounding environment, incorporating the rock formations and the sea views into the living space.

The building is designed as a set of cubes facing different directions, framing the views and following the hilly terrain. The cubes cantilevered on stone walls create verandas on the terrace outdoor living. The outdoor space becomes an extension of the indoor space defined by lines that follow the walls of the building. These lines define the pavement and the pool shape.

The interior is defined by the vertical stone walls and the white cubes that articulate the fluid space on the ground floor. The living space has a unique setting, a glass facade of six meters in height frames the sea views. The use of large windows and sliding glass doors allows natural light to flood the interiors and provides uninterrupted views of the sea and the surrounding landscape.
All the day areas are located on the ground floor. The ground floor comprises an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that seamlessly flows into the outdoor terrace and pool area. Each cube on the first floor hosts a bedroom, opening towards the horizon through its own balcony. Skylights are used as an interior design element in the bathrooms.

The interior of the house is designed with a neutral color palette, creating a serene and calming atmosphere. The use of natural materials such as wood and stone adds warmth and texture to the space.
The pool area, derived from following the building lines, is a standout feature of the residence, designed to provide an ideal place for relaxation and enjoyment of the outdoor surroundings.

  • 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.
