The design and textile choices together bring an exciting statement of sophistication to this ultra modern house in Ibiza. Built on on two identical existing structures, these three-storey glass cube Siesta Twin Houses, were redesigned by the Ibiza based Zucchero Architects who took inspiration from the breathtaking sunset of Santa Eulalia bay.

This tranquil feeling of seclusion was the first design objective when positioning the Siesta Twin Houses. The second objective was to bring the feeling of the sea inside the house metaphorically painting the walls with delicate colors to reflect the sunlight.

A massive fire place is the only division in this pristine space while maintaining perfect dialog with the futuristic-shaped Moon System sofas designed by Zaha Hadid for B & B Italia. A floor-to-ceiling glass wall expands the conceptual impact of the living-room while offering direct access to the open-air terrace which features a hanging-pool. The house entrance is accomplished from a small private street approached from behind and connected by a bridge, allowing total privacy to the inhabitants.

Architect Zucchero has honored the unique style that is typically Ibizian . This cosmopolitan approach to living in these exceptional spaces, presents an opportunity to truly realize an open and free experience leading the way to redefine the concept of the Mediterranean Maison.
