Scrupulously Spartan Gem on Ibiza

Is this heavenly place some kind of a Shangri La?

Here, all cares are cast aside.

Just blue skies, and blue waters.

Its pure and simple shapes and materials – just white stucco and black slate – are as soothing and refreshing as an island vacation.

The crispest purity of line is a perfect mind-emptying device.

Interiors mix white stucco, black slate floor and ancient, heavy rustic timber tables.

The black slate is simply continued up the wall in the clean lined bathrooms, for water resistance.

Its bold and stark shapes seem as eternal as its site.

A life lived here would surely have a truly epic quality.

Here you would feel that you alone on the planet are enjoying such views.

You and five others, that is.

Upstairs the house accommodates six in three ensuite master bedrooms.

The spacious public floor plan is geared to relaxation.

It is a blissfully meditative design that perfectly suits the site.

Serenity made manifest.

Gorgeous views surround the AIBS House.

Sited in the middle of nowhere, however, AABE architects do say: “in stormy weather it has a striking and tormented air about it.”

The house is sited in an extremely isolated part of the island, with no neighbors on its horizons.
