Area: 365.29 m²
Project: 2017
Completion of work: 2020

LOCATION AND SITE

The residential building is located in the lively and historic Santa Catalina neighborhood in Palma de Mallorca. The traditional architecture of the area, influenced by early 20th-century modernism, is characterized by the uniqueness of certain details, especially in the facades and in the principal entrances. The narrow plot is situated in Caro Street, one of the main roads of the area. The main facade of the building faces northeast, while the rear overlooks a southwest-facing courtyard, allowing the entrance of abundant natural light. In this way, the living-dining-kitchen space of the residences has a dual orientation, thus achieving cross ventilation, which is highly valued in Mediterranean regions.
