In the west of the island of Ibiza, San Antonio, is this newly built very luxurious detached villa with cellar, garage, swimming pool and separate guest house.
Clarity and simplicity are the main principles of the house. To this end, open spaces have been created, located on the southeast, taking full advantage of natural light, where the outside air flows in and in which one can move freely. The famous saying: "less is more" applies here.
The harmony of decorative concepts has been a very important driving factor for the architect. This avoids too great a variety of separate elements. To this end, coherence has been ensured in the materials used and their colours. The floors, the types of wood, the metal elements, the colors used in the house, each time an attempt has been made to relate the color scheme to each other. In this way everything comes together and the whole fits in as harmoniously as possible with the aesthetics of Ibiza. The basis of this harmony is the use of the color white for the wall coverings, the aesthetic limestone finish of the floors and walls, the light color of the wood, the matt dark gray color for all metal elements and the greenery of the gardens, making the object one with the wooded environment of the area in which it is located.
The design is based on the following principles: an architectural style that is not subject to fashion, is predominantly functional and the use of materials and elements typical of the island of Ibiza, such as natural stone walls, various fruit trees, lawns or surfaces covered with vinyl, inspired by the bottom of the Mediterranean.
The house has its own well with a large water supply, as the area in which the house is located is one of the most water-rich parts of the island.
When choosing the technical installation, the primary aim was to achieve the most efficient operation of the systems and to save on energy consumption. The system is completely based on Aero thermal energy. One of the technical features is a ventilation system that constantly refreshes the air, so that the indoor air of the house is clean.
In short, a whole that gives shape to a concept that is unlike anything that has been built before and has never been seen before, neither inside nor outside Ibiza.
