“A good building is not the one that hurts the landscape, but the one that makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was erected.”
Frank Lloyd Wright
The pure and timeless architecture of Ibiza.
Ibiza’s country houses represent an architectural reference thanks to their geometrically beautiful shapes. The attractiveness of their simple lines, amalgamate perfectly into the landscape.
They are cube-shaped, humble and functional constructions. The main attributes of the traditional ibizencan “Fincas” are whitewashed walls, flat roofs, interior arches and small windows on the façades.
Nature is the main source of inspiration for the Mediterranean style.
It is very common to leave stone or wood facing in plain sight. Like this masonry walls or natural beams are another decorative element, inside as well as outside.
Although in today´s era of architecture, different materials and more modern techniques are used, the simple but traditional “Pagès Finca” remains an important inspiration to architects and designers.
The bioclimatic adaptation, the sustainability of the construction and the shift towards minimalism are the three key elements for the traditional Ibiza house. In short, Ibiza offers a pure, uncompromising and functional architecture; the result achieved though many years of perfect balance between man and nature.
A method that is maintained to this day! Remembering that sobriety and simplicity are the main features. The blend of the blue sky with the white walls define the beauty of the typical Ibiza country houses.
