Article source: TERESA SAPEY STUDIO Built by a Genoese pirate in the sixteenth century, this palace located in the old town of Palma de Mallorca, was partially burned during an intentional fire: the idea was to scare away its rustic owner – an Italian corsair, considered persona non grata in the city of Palma-. It was completely redesigned with the aim of reflecting Sapey’s personality, a space tailored to her tastes without having to follow the restrictions that she normally face with her clients. One of the daring things was to paint the walls with strong colors, which in a 16th century building was quite daring. It was the perfect moment to express the creative and artist soul of the architect, who since childhood dreamed of being an artist. Until this moment, she had never been encouraged to express her most pictorial and vivid side that in this space does not fall in the architectural expression but in the use of color. It is a praise to the magical island of Mallorca and its Mediterranean colors: the acid yellow of lemons or the warmest of the sun. The blues, not only of the sea, but also of the sky. The green color is also present, an attempt to create a kind of greenhouse with Romanesque windows in the background. It was clear from the beginning that the traditional elements of the palazzo would be maintained, its high ceilings, wooden floors and large windows.  Image Courtesy © Asier Rua
