This old existing small cabin, gently nestled in the  Ibizian countryside, has undergone its own functional transformation  evolving from its original agricultural homestead into  its present use as a modern residential home for a German  family. This project was undertaken with great care and concern  for the sensibilities of the local surroundings, with  an  integrated goal of using local materials in order to  enhance and preserve the overall inherent ambiance that  is uniquely Ibiza. 

Local building techniques were employed to maintain the flavor of the  region, while emphasizing the massive presence of sand  stone walls,  and creating various plot levels which anchor the  pool  and a monolithic mass façade of the double high wall. The local stone provides a marked optical contrast between  the brilliant  reflection of pure white rooms both new and  established.

This two storey addition, representing recovery,  refurbishment and extension of work, came  to fruition using the materials and simplicity of  shapes  found within local Ibizian home sites located in the surrounding countryside. The high quality details lends itself to a language of its own whose echo is naturally and purely spoken as it joins the  mysterious Ibizian whispers which can be heard throughout the  countryside.
