Located on the northern ridge of the Spanish island of Mallorca, Deià is a small coastal village whose idyllic landscape, populated with orange and olive groves on steep hills overlooking the Mediterranean, has long attracted some of the Western world’s most prominent literary and musical figures to settle there and draw inspiration for their work.
Building a new house in the illustrious village is a rare opportunity. So, when one arrives, it’s to be hoped that the owners and architects are an excellent match. Fortunately, that was the case with this ethereally elegant holiday home.
Involved from the very start of the project, Deià-based architectural firm More Design assisted its clients with everything from selecting the piece of land on which their house was to be built to curating its furnishings and artworks. The result is remarkable.
BUILT TO BLEND
Situated right in the heart of Deià, the property was an extraordinary find, comprising the last of the land available in the urban area above the world-renowned La Residencia hotel. It also has an enviably elevated position and a western orientation, with views of the village church and the sea. Sporting a seamless flow between its various interior spaces and the surrounding garden and outdoor living areas, the house was also always intended to blend into the steep slope on which it stands.
