In a 484-Square-Foot Beach House, an Unexpected Discovery Guides the Renovation
Briefly

The renovation of a 484-square-foot beach house in Mallorca involved addressing its small, dark, and damp interior. By opening up the space to create distinct yet interconnected functional areas, the design embraced openness, light, and spaciousness. The architects utilized built-in furniture to optimize every square inch and enhance the home's unique character. Key components were placed along the perimeter, allowing the center to remain bright and open. This integration minimized the need for additional elements and highlighted unusual views, emphasizing a modern approach to small-space living.
The home was small and dark with little ventilation. We addressed both problems by opening the up the interior and creating one single space with areas dedicated to different functions.
We sought a balance between creating truly distinct areas and, at the same time, embracing openness, light, and a feeling of spaciousness.
The project seeks to minimize the need to add more elements: Everything is integrated into the structure of the home.
The custom built-in pieces enhance the unique feeling of the home, as did the team's focus on highlighting unusual views.
