This house is designed to enjoy the views of its unique and varied landscape.

Designed by the young and dynamic Mallorcan studio Arquitectura AMR

Its low, single-storey profile is aligned with the contours of the land, with the roof almost simulating the slope of the land, with some parts of the building even sinking slightly into the hillside. This emphasis on the landscape is seen in creating the access to the property at the rear, so as not to encroach on the privileged view that unfolds in front of the house.

Architecture that is part of nature itself

Its privileged location allows us to enjoy 360 degree views, allowing us to observe both the sea and the fantastic mountain, the forests of Sa Extremera and the plantations of the surrounding villages. The villa is designed around an access designed to function as a link that connects the three fundamental areas of the house: the bedrooms, the living room and the kitchen area. In this way, each zone can exist independently, increasing the level of comfort and habitability of its users, with porches inspired by typical Mallorcan architecture between each area.

OUTDOOR

Its privileged location makes it totally unique on the island.

The way in which we have integrated this house into the mountain allows it to form part of the mountain itself, giving it a special character and creating three different viewpoints from which you can enjoy the peace of observing nature.

INDOOR

Its interior has been designed by a prestigious interior design firm that has adapted each element of the interior to each corner of the house.

We have ensured that its materials form one with the environment, thus taking advantage of all the advances of our technology and our fantastic nature. Its interior design will allow us to take advantage of every bit of solar energy while at the same time sheltering us from the inclement weather. The combination of rock, which has been extracted from the mountain itself, in combination with wood provides a cosy atmosphere and immerses you in an oasis of comfort.

ARCHITECTURE

Everything is built respecting the traditional architecture of the area.

The house is situated on a steep wooded hillside and its flat design is intended to respect the forest glade where it is located. The sloping roof follows the lines of the hillside and covers both the living space and a large single gesture porch. On the ground floor, the access serves as a link between the three elements of the building: the main house, the children's house and the service quarters.

 

Respect for the environment in this luxurious home
has been our aim.

Casa Falco has been conceived with zero-kilometre materials found at hand. That is to say, stone from the estate itself, local ceramics for the ceilings and floors, bathrooms with traditional hydraulic tiles made on the island, local wood, as well as exterior floors of washed cement with typical stones from the area. The exterior walls of the finca are made of rock extracted from the excavation site itself, thus respecting the environment of the area.
