POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Transformation of an old Mallorcan townhouse in a village by the sea.

Due to its isolated location, the project relied on reusing as much as possible from the existing house, as well as from the local storage of leftovers of construction material. The existing tiles were recomposed as a large-scale terrazzo; existing door cut in half and reused as a folding one; windows and facades repaired. Oil funnels and ceramic rooftiles became lampshades; a discarded cast iron manhole cover became the base of the existing stove; and rebar caps were used as doorknobs. In the kitchen, traditional mediterranean chain curtains screen the otherwise exposed products and appliances. Paint was used as a minimum resource to recompose the space.
.
At the end the only addition really needed was a pulley to bring materials and supplies up the house.

Project is a collaboration of KOSMOS Architects and Blanca Gardelegui @bggardelegui

In January, we will be doing another AA workshop on the island, along with very good friends. This time we’ll be exploring the potential of sandstone and its landscapes, building on last year’s focus on dealing with water scarcity. We still have some open spots! :) by @bggardelegui
