Marta and Benjamín Home in Palma, Spain by JAIME SALVÁ, Arquitectura & InteriorismoJanuary 8th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: JAIME SALVÁ, Arquitectura & Interiorismo This is an single-family house and swimming pool, which was designed by the architect Jaime Salvá, the technical architect Iñaki Fernández, and Blanci Blanc as the builder. It is located in the Son Puig urbanization, Palma, on a plot of 458m2 with a steep slope, which means that the basement is at the level of the sidewalk leading to the house. One of the objectives of the architect Jaime Salvá was to create a clean and contemporary geometry, by using breaks to achieve a dimensional pattern with different perspectives depending on which side of the house you look at, as well as a changing pattern of shadows throughout the day.

The amplitude of the spaces is one of the main objectives at the time when the ground floor was laid out, using natural light from any of the 4 orientations, with access control from any point, but at the same time, each room has its independence.

Few materials were used to give homogeneity to the entire interior design, ranging from neutral, warm and natural materials such as oak wood, Balearic grey natural stone or the natural stone masonry wall, which penetrates from the outside to the inside of the dining room, as well as the kitchen.

This kitchen is fully connected to the outdoor dining room, which is protected by a porch that is achieved by a large cantilever. The owners of the house have taken charge, with great pleasure, they have furnished the house, and they have continued with the neutral colours, such as the large wooden table that is placed in the dining room.
