The team said, “The house expresses calm and simplicity, while also provides shelter and heat.” Om Ca’n Gallinta, as saying to describe a mallorca house, is fully mixed with its Mediterranean environment, despite being a new construction. It seems as if it was always there, set between the red earth and yellow grass. It was important to reduce its visual effects on the “delicate natural environment” for the studio.
To achieve this look, the architects inspired the traditional Mallorcan architecture “with its simple, repeated construction systems, such as irrigation channels with Pilbars that can be found in rural areas of Malorka.” The landscape also shaped the design of the house: A single -storey building with a base, with various porches and pergolas that reduces the scale of the building. The newly planted carob trees and an existing pine forest to see the structure partially hide the structure.
Regarding the house, the architects say, “The house is consciously and respectfully mixed in the land. It is located at the highest point of the site and follows the size of a lot. This approach reduced the need for any earthquake and allowed the main front to see the south, absorbing sunlight.” It is in a way that most do not imagine that when they take a picture of the islands of France, Italy or Spain – then the entire region prevails in a specific desert environment, which are motivated and molding structures similar to this Mallorca House.
