Who has not dreamed of having a property where different generations of family members, parents, children, grandchildren, each family with its own space and a central nucleus, the kitchen and the outdoor space with swimming pool and kitchen/barbecue as the alma mater of the house, a meeting place and a place to share sensations, emotions and unite family and friends with intimate and unforgettable moments.
This Finca is an absolute novelty in the southeast of the island, not only for its proven quality and the technologies used in its construction, but also for its design and location. An enclave of absolute privacy, surrounded by nature in its purest state with the most modern technologies and becoming a self-sufficient property with the backup of having all the utilities running in parallel if desired.
And what could be better than to be able to enjoy the sensations and ideas of the protagonists responsible for this creation, and not limit ourselves to creating a boring text about this jewel? Read and enjoy!
1.-Words of the architect about this very special project: The traditional house as we understand it, growing from ‘random’ parts of a main living nucleus and recomposing itself, over time, into a singular architectural ensemble, the object of necessity and chance. The purpose of reproducing this ‘haphazard’ development with a certain ‘disorder’ in which the nocturnal parts are gradually joined to a main daytime nucleus, creating various connecting zones to be used not only as passageways but also as service or living rooms. Autonomy and intimacy of the parts without renouncing the whole.
2.-Words of the designer and owner of this precious jewel: When we saw the concept of ‘ES REVELLAR’ for the first time we fell in love with the enormous space, the simplicity and the multiple living areas that the house offers. We then added to the project the spacious ‘basement’ which gave the house a huge additional space for a sauna, a gym or yoga area, a home-cinema (or flex space), a wine bar and much more - in total more than 800 m2. This is certainly unique on the Balearic Islands - tradition meets luxury and sustainability. The finca consists of 6 ‘living modules’, as we call them. Each one seems to be an independent living space with different functionalities. We have a central kitchen module, the ‘alma mater’, where people should gather near the main terrace. Then we have 2 main sections, 2 guest room sections with 2 guest rooms each - so 6 double rooms in total and a living room. The lounge and kitchen block each have a wood burning fireplace to generate a lovely atmosphere all year round. Adjacent to the main terrace is a spacious heated salt water swimming pool with a professional counter-current system for sports enthusiasts. From here you have access to the outdoor kitchen. This garden kitchen is dimensioned to serve all guests with a gas barbecue as well as an Argentinian wood-fired grill. Perfectly integrated in the fantastic nature of the Campos area in Mallorca, the house is energy self-sufficient and extremely water efficient. A luxurious and well thought-out lighting project always guarantees the warm feeling of ‘being at home’. We spent months fine-tuning the interior and exterior design elements. The location of the house guarantees total privacy, even if you live within cycling distance of Campos. The finca is situated at the end of an official road and is the only residential building on the site. According to the current laws no other houses can be built in the neighbourhood. Shortly we bought one of the neighbouring fields and added it to the extensive garden to guarantee even more privacy. The interior is mainly equipped with very high quality but at the same time light looking wooden carpentry to underline the natural character of the project. All technical devices are of the highest standard, such as BORA and Gaggenau kitchen appliances. All areas are equipped with underfloor heating, air conditioning and also automated fresh air ventilation in order to always provide the optimum climate even if you are not constantly living in the house. The garden concept is based on the idea of making gardening easier and reducing water consumption. So we kept most of the old trees on the plot and integrated only water-efficient plants, such as old cacti and desert grass elements. These are surrounded by bougainvillea and some other design plant elements. All this is integrated in a fully automated irrigation system.
