Unlike iconic Balieric Beats and Neon-Lathpath Night Clubs of Ibisa, a cool venture ends. Here, the ancient olive trees dott the landscape in the form of salty air mingas with rosemary and pine. The island’s white -white farmhouse, called Fintkas, stands as Stoic witnesses for centuries of rural life, who remain relatively uncontrolled by tourists traffic.
It is inherited that Blackstad architects The design of new local homes appears in the design, which hugs modern comfort and respects Vernacular. In collaboration with their latest project – NaturalEstablished by London- and Miami-based interior design studio Tom Lawrence-Lavi-a family re-connects traditional finka for a family that sees this place not as a party destination, but as a sanctuary.
The traditional Finca of Ibisa is practical and poetic to respond to climate, culture and community. The thick stone walls insulating the inhabitants with the fierce Mediterranean sun. Natural materials ensure stability and harmony with the environment, supporting the local industry. And the arrangement of the rooms, often in response to the changing needs of the family, jointly reminds those who live in architecture partnership with elements with inward -looking courtyards.
At first glance, the house seems to be excellently-the principals who guide the guidance remains intact, underlining the residential design of this new, 3,5000-class-foot. So the classic omnipresent cubic size of the structure, signature is also clean volume and humble appearance. Its white -white external forms are naturally mixed with the hill naturally, which are surrounded by wild gardens and native forests, while the stone walls, exposed beams, and echoes of generations of thick threshold island houses.
At a nearest look, subtle purification is revealed: the microSement eliminates smooth rough edges, lending a tenderness to the solid shell. Sandstone floors connect inside and out while keeping time with the sun. And the spiral ladder-a quickly contemporary gesture leads to a prudent lower level, preserving the single-story horizontal of typology from the contemporary gesture.
Lawrence-Lavi says, “We worked hard to keep Finka’s soul alive.” “We wanted to avoid a house that felt very polished or sterile. Instead, it was to feel that it was related to this land – as it was always here, but with a modern ease.”
The open-plun interior felt the borrowing texture and ton of the borrowing from the mask, which spreads inside as a six bedroom and several magnificent baths. Linen drapes spread the fierce ebizan light in a soft shine, leading to a soft, ether atmosphere. Soft, off-white walls recall the sandy cooves of the island because the hot forest shakes the head in the surrounding forest. Natural red touching touches are touched using Rojo Elikante Stone to refer to local aesthetics. And traditional Morocco Zeliga Tiles – Extension is often found in southern Spain – by Mosaic factory Integrated in the walls of the weight-space, their irregularities are clean modern lines.
For the communal spirit of Phanka, the residence is designed for moments to be shared. Its German-British owner, a growing family, imagined it as a shelter for friends and loved ones. In the living room, the pronunciation chairs by the Casina Cluster around the custom couch by the flakes and a memorial coffee table designed themselves by the statement-Lores-Levi-if the twins are united, fit together like puzzle pieces. Extension indoor and outdoor dining tables invite some dinner for some 12 feet long, as they commune under the stars. Liberal sofas, dark days, and many conversations turn every corner into a moment of relief, sometimes the deaf of Ibisa survives.
Lawrence-Levi continues, “They are amazing hosts that create a place that easily adjusts large groups.” “We really wanted it to feel sophisticated but comfortable. The idea was always about people – architecture is just a frame.”
Now fully felt, symbolizes the contradictions of the project island, a foresight hidden behind its fame. The same feeling of solitude that combines the house with its intimacy, complicates the logistics of making it. But the memory of those challenges reinforces the magic of a place where time can slow down the speed of the ground. This house, with its subtle modernity, indicates that there is nothing to oppose or repeat heritage, but to re -interpret with care.
