The house features a pavilion-style layout, with the main bedroom and living room situated, forming the summer house. The ground floor accommodates the other program spaces, including three bedrooms, a game room, a service area, and a spacious room that spans the entire house. Transversality was created for key views, and air currents were considered for optimal ventilation.

The main objective of the project was to offer the user the sensuality of the Mediterranean Sea within the home. For this reason, materials produced on the island of Ibiza were chosen, such as stone for the construction of the ground floor walls or reed wood for the solar protection systems. The use of warm colors in harmony with white defines the interior. Large and generous spaces were combined with the coziness of smaller ones. Breaking the monotony provides a rich variation in light and shadow nuances. Furniture and seaweed sisal coverings follow the same logic as all the construction systems in the house.

The pursuit of spatial harmony contributes to creating a suitable environment to feel in Ibiza.

    The trapezoidal tracing of the property is what defined the construction of this house into three clearly settled volumes. Vegetation also plays a protagonist role in the design of this house, both outdoors and indoors. The exterior trees enclose the house generating distinct tons of shades and colours during the different seasons of the year. Within the interior, the unruly green vegetation, contrasts with the stone floors and solid walls, reaching a perfect sense of balance. The entrance, a double height lobby that creates contrasting sensations and distinct visual ending points originated by water mirrors, light shafts, a tree and a staircase. The walls that shape this area, divide the spaces into private and public areas. The ground floor, is organized into two blocks each with a different purpose: The left side, is a white solid cube that integrates the study and the master bedroom and is separated from the other block by a water mirror and a yard that generates the desired privacy, peace and tranquility. The right side, the social area, is a rectangle closed to the west by a rigid wall and opened towards the interior of the house through large floor to ceiling glass walls, giving sober transparency to the yard with views to the garden and the central courtyard. The different angles within the construction achieve visual ending points with great character, as well as, enhancing the sensations provoked by the pure whites that evolve into mixed tones as the day and the seasons go by.
