located within a rural area at the center of the island, the villa forms a stark contrast upon the land, through its minimal elegance and sharp geometric lines. the design builds upon characteristic elements of ibizan architecture, using a traditional rectangular structure, and selective use of windows, placed strategically in order to provide a shaded environment inside.

the interior features a multipurpose living room, a series of consecutive vertical windows, together with whitewashed walls and polished concrete floors. discrete fireplaces are found in the living room and master bedroom which also features a large window that protrudes from the exterior of the building, allowing one to sit and watch the natural environment outside.

each room uses a neutral colour palette complimented by playful furniture pieces that forms a balanced tension within the villa. furnishings include tatami beds, indirect lighting and paper lamps that reference japanese zen design.
