Today we would like to tell you about our new construction project, which has already started and is located at the Sol de Mallorca Housing Development, in Calvià. It consists of a single-family home designed by Jochen Lendle Architects.
U-shaped structure
This project comprises a rectangular main building for residential purposes, which will be built on top of 4 adjacent spaces constituting the ground floor. The layout and shape of the 1st floor and ground floor create a U-shaped structure.
This structure will be primarily built out of steel and reinforced concrete, with large picture windows designed to allow a maximum amount of natural light into the residence. Foundations are projected to include isolated and combined footings under interior pillars and with an eccentric continuous footing with a strap footing solution and braces under the walls.
The whole structure will have thermal insulation made of high-density extruded polystyrene.
The property comprises an infinity pool, a garage, a living room with a chimney, indoor and outdoor dining rooms, a kitchen, several bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and balconies, office areas and a library, a games room and a wine cellar.
Materials used are inspired by the local natural environment
In line with the local natural environment surrounding the property, natural materials will be used, such as oak wood in indoor areas or natural “Santanyí”-type limestone and/or “marés” sourced from Felanitx quarries in certain areas of the façade. Likewise, outdoor windows and doors will be made of natural colour aluminium and masonry walls will be stone clad.
Integration of indoor and outdoor areas
One of the main goals in building this residential unit is to harmoniously and seamlessly integrate both indoor and outdoor areas. To this end, both the residence's flooring and that of its terraces will be made of lime microcement, partial indoor/outdoor bamboo wood flooring and/or industrial parquet flooring, as well as hydraulic tiles.
All of the above, together with the use of glazing with the maximum mobility in areas leading to the main garden and the swimming pool, contribute to create a perfect harmony between indoor and outdoor areas.
Open spaces without privacy loss
The use of fixed and partially fixed glazing increases the brightness, roominess and integration of the residence into its environment. On the other hand, the glazing in the living room and the ground floor multi-purpose rooms can be fully opened or closed, thus preserving the occupants’ privacy whenever required.
At Grupo Ferrá we are extremely proud to add the construction of this residential unit to our project portfolio comprising high-end residential new builds in Mallorca.
A project developed by the Jochen Lendle Architects firm, with Eduardo Orell as architectural technician.
