The triangular plot of land served as the project's initial inspiration,harking back to the historical days when Ibiza was primarily an agricultural island, characterized by its linear white houses. The design of the new villa draws from the island's traditional residential architecture, specifically theEs Casements or Ses Cases. These structures featured a principal original building with several attached living units. These whitewashed houses boasted a rustic porch known as El Porxet that provided shade in the summer, along with a fireplace and an oven. The heart ofthese homes was El Tanco, the garden where vegetables and herbs were cultivated, and where most daily activities unfolded.

With this rich historical context in mind, we approached the project,reinterpreting the cultural elements of the island within a 21st-century residential building.
The villa consists of individual cubic volumes housing the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and an annex for guest accommodation,all strategically oriented to maximize views of the sea and the path of the sun. The integration of indoor and outdoor spaces is a hallmark of the design, as the villa embraces the natural surroundings, dissolving the boundaries between closed and open spaces, allowing nature to flow into every room.
