Marge House

Location: Valldemossa, Mallorca
Year: 2022
Architects: isla (Marta Colón de Carvajal, Juan Palencia)
Team: Cristina Gutiérrez, Leticia Olalquiaga, Olga Karlander, Joan Pau Bujosa

Status: Completed
The project tames the slope of the valley through a series of terraces, in which the house and pool are inserted, the bedrooms, that fan out into the terrain, and the living room and kitchen resting on top, like two apero houses oriented to the landscape. The house, traditionally finished in stone, lime and terra cotta, hides a prefabricated light timber frame structure and a system that allows passive climatisation and ventilation of the spaces.
