In this section, we open a window into the design philosophy and intentions behind the home. Here you’ll find sketches, studies, and material explorations that reveal the ideas, intentions, and inspiration guiding the project. From spatial flow to craftsmanship, every detail has been thoughtfully considered — and these drawings offer a glimpse into how the villa’s character was shaped long before construction began.
Exterior Architecture – Material Character & Mediterranean Presence
This sketch highlights the villa’s architectural character: a modern Mediterranean home shaped by clean lines, natural textures, and quiet elegance that merges seamlessly with its surroundings. Dry-stack stone walls ground the structure with craftsmanship and reinterpret Mallorca’s traditional masonry in a contemporary way.
Expansive floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open the living spaces to the pool terrace, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors and flooding the interiors with natural light. Upper-level balconies continue this openness, offering elevated views and strengthening the home’s indoor–outdoor flow.
A rooftop terrace adds a private, elevated retreat with steel railings and built-in seating — a place for sunsets, gatherings, or calm moments above the garden.
The pool area follows a minimalist design with clean edges, concrete coping, and low walls that provide privacy and clarity. Its elongated form suits both relaxation and swimming, mirroring the villa’s restrained layout.
The approach features a paved driveway and low entry wall with a discreet gate, creating a warm yet understated welcome, complemented by a functional side entrance that preserves the façade’s simplicity.
Overall, this architectural study captures a balanced blend of modern simplicity, natural materials, and Mediterranean sensibility — a home that feels refined, grounded, and deeply connected to its landscape.
Kitchen & Dining – Material Expression and Spatial Flow
Overall, this sketch captures a bright, functional, and harmoniously balanced interior where natural materials and craftsmanship shape the home’s most social space.
This sketch conveys the design vision for the kitchen and dining area: a crafted, naturally textured space with an intuitive flow between the home’s central hub and its surrounding rooms.
A sculptural marble island with a waterfall edge anchors the space — practical yet expressive, with clean lines and subtle veining. The matching marble backsplash continues this material thread, creating a calm, refined backdrop for everyday cooking.
Light wood stools and a reclaimed wood dining table add warmth and texture, balancing the stone’s cool elegance. The large wooden bench encourages communal dining, reinforcing the room’s relaxed, welcoming spirit. Track lighting guides the visual rhythm, while a ceiling fan with timber blades adds comfort and a sculptural touch. Open shelving niches soften the geometry and offer room for personal objects, ceramics, and greenery.
The timber staircase and handrail extend the palette of natural materials throughout the home, leading seamlessly to the upper levels. Durable tile flooring grounds the space with a warm, neutral finish suited to daily use.
Living Room – Design Intent & Material Inspiration
This sketch captures the living room’s identity: a calm, light-filled space shaped by warm materials and clean lines. Expansive sliding glass doors open the room toward the horizon, framing panoramic views and bringing the landscape into daily life — the defining anchor of the space.
Inside, the palette centers on earthy, understated tones. Reclaimed wood and natural fibers add texture and authenticity in the handcrafted coffee table, layered ottomans, and jute rug that grounds the seating area. The built-in fireplace and shelving unit create a subtle focal point, with custom oak shelves and cabinetry offering integrated storage without visual weight.
Natural wood accent chairs and low-profile seating form a flexible area for conversation, reading, or relaxing by the fire. Overhead, a timber-bladed ceiling fan continues the home’s material language while enhancing comfort.
Overall, the sketch reflects a living room designed around natural textures, warm tones, and modern simplicity — a space where views, comfort, and craftsmanship come together effortlessly.
Bedroom – Calm Materials and Thoughtful Simplicity
This sketch conveys the bedroom’s calming, understated design — a space shaped for rest, clarity, and quiet comfort. Natural wood sets the tone: the platform bed, headboard, and nightstand bring warmth through simple geometry and visible grain.
A soft neutral wall finish enhances the serene atmosphere, letting textures and natural tones stand out. White linen bedding with gentle blue accents adds a fresh, coastal touch while preserving the room’s simplicity.
Integrated bedside lighting and discreet switches keep the design clean and functional, reducing visual clutter. Floating wooden shelves near the entrance offer minimal, elegant storage for personal items and décor. Textured tile flooring adds durability and subtle depth, tying the materials into the home’s overall palette.
A doorway connects directly to the en-suite bathroom, creating a smooth transition between private spaces. Altogether, the bedroom is conceived as a tranquil retreat — simple, warm, and quietly refined.
Staircase Design – Craftsmanship, Proportion & Material Detail
This drawing highlights the precision and craftsmanship behind the villa’s main staircase — a sculptural yet lightweight vertical link within the home. The design pairs solid natural materials with refined metal detailing to create a staircase that is both functional and visually expressive.
Stone treads provide a sense of permanence and texture, anchoring the stair within the home’s material palette. Their proportions are carefully considered for comfort and consistency. Alongside them, a continuous steel balustrade of slender vertical elements introduces a modern, transparent rhythm. Its lightness contrasts with the mass of the stone, resulting in a staircase that feels grounded yet visually airy.
In elevation and section, the detailing becomes clearer: perfectly aligned balusters, a subtly integrated handrail, and clean transitions between stone and metal. These measured junctions reveal a focus on durability, clarity, and minimalism.
At the landing, the staircase turns gracefully toward the upper level, maintaining the same material language and balanced proportions. The result is a crafted architectural element — calm, modern, and seamlessly integrated into the villa’s identity.
Overall, the drawing reinforces the project’s broader philosophy: honest materials, thoughtful detailing, and an emphasis on spaces that are beautifully designed, structurally sound, and intuitively functional.
A Rooftop Sanctuary Overlooking the Sea
This sketch captures the spirit of the rooftop terrace — a space designed to embrace the home’s remarkable natural setting. From this height, the landscape opens in all directions: Montferrutx’s rugged peaks to the north and the coastline of Alcudia Bay shimmering in the distance. The terrace becomes a quiet lookout where the surroundings are felt as much as seen.
The design centers on simplicity, durability, and comfort. Large-format tiles create a clean, continuous surface with a modern Mediterranean character. Teak furniture brings warmth and flexibility for dining, lounging, or enjoying the changing light. Planters with native, drought-resistant species soften the architecture and tie the terrace back to the landscape. Painted steel railings frame the perimeter without interrupting the views, while subtle drainage slopes preserve the terrace’s crisp geometry. Functional elements like chimney flues and structural walls are integrated discreetly to maintain visual calm.
Overall, the rooftop reflects the project’s guiding intention: spaces that connect seamlessly with nature. Whether for gatherings, sunbathing, quiet mornings, or stargazing, the terrace offers an elevated experience defined by light, landscape, and uninterrupted horizon views.
