ABOUT THE PROJECT
Description
Can Cardona represents a meticulous restoration of a rural Ibicencan estate, focusing on the dialogue between traditional architecture and expansive Mediterranean gardens. The project emphasizes the preservation of the property’s original farmhouse volumes while introducing contemporary amenities and an elevated outdoor program. By stripping back previous additions, the design reveals a clean, white-washed silhouette that stands in contrast to the vibrant, lush greenery of its surroundings.
Challenges
The primary challenge was the vastness of the exterior grounds, which felt disconnected from the main residence. Architecturally, the building suffered from a series of disparate annexes and dated finishes that obscured the authentic charm of the rural structure. It was essential to create a unified aesthetic across the main house, the guest pavilions, and the sports facilities, ensuring that the entire estate functioned as a singular, cohesive sanctuary.
MATERIAL USED
Used European Oak · Natural Stone · Dry-stone Masonry · Mineral Surfaces · Bespoke Timber Joinery · Sand-based Surfacing · Mediterranean Vegetation
Solutions
The architectural response involved a comprehensive landscape integration, using geometric stone pathways and manicured lawns to guide circulation between the various outdoor zones. We redesigned the pool area as a central social hub, featuring an expansive timber pergola and a light-reflective deck that mirrors the purity of the main facade. Internally, the private quarters were modernized using a palette of noble materials, maintaining a rustic-minimalist character through bespoke timber doors and monolithic mineral surfaces. Strategic apertures were refined to frame the hillsides, ensuring a constant visual connection to the valley
