House Tour :: A Historic Mallorca Townhouse Becomes A Modern Oasis
There's no denying I have a love for Mediterranean homes, and this one is no exception. But this townhouse in Mallorca has another visual advantage: It was built by Parisian architects in 1896, who brought in elements like stained glass and other details from all over the world to create a truly unique space. Recently renovated by Berrow Projects, the home has been brought back to life - and into the modern world - with updates that enhance and respect its history.
With our temperatures nearing 95 degrees today, I can't tell you how good that pool looks right about now! Bonus: it's heated with solar power. While many elements like the interior tile floors, original wood beams and doors were preserved, the space was also updated with all the modern - and eco conscious - amenities one could ask for.
In the main floor, the ceilings soar, and let in so much beautiful natural light! I love the use of so many natural materials and textures in all the spaces, but especially in here.
Up a quick half flight of stairs lays the living room. I cannot get over the combination of all these gorgeous tiles, or all the natural wood in the windows and doors!
I love how there are so many little balconies and areas that lead outside in this home. That seamless indoor/outdoor living is one of my favorite aspects of homes built in climates like these. And the outdoor spaces really offer a variety of areas to enjoy, too!
Up on the top floor, the master bedroom is expansive, with a huge soaking tub, separate sitting room, and balcony that stretches out over the courtyard and offers up a view of the mountains. I don't always love when the bath sits in with the master bedroom, but I really do love it here. It feels separate but intimate - a welcome accent to the space.
The remainder of the home boasts four more bedrooms. Plenty of space for friends and visitors, as I imagine if you own this home you'll have many.
All I know is if this were my place, I'd be lounging right here, a glass of vino verde in hand!
The entire place is amazing! But the view of the mountains is so gorgeous!
Stunner, I want one!
The house looks super great even if was built long time ago, love the mediterranean style specially since it is in Mallorca. Love the pool, it looks great =). Thanks for sharing.
This is absolutely beautiful. You’re an interior designer?
This is breathtaking! It’s the perfect mix of modern, natural, and classic
Oh my! What an incredible property on my favourite Balearic Island. Thank you so much for sharing. I need to stop day dreaming and do some work!
Honestly couldn’t decide which part of the house is my favorite… the backyard oasis or the master bedroom with a soaking tub. Would be a perfect place for a get-away with someone you love (:
