Clean Cut White Sandstone Home in Mallorca

Architect Miguel Angel Lacomba made this house constructed of white sandstone as clean and simple as possible, to meet a client brief that put clarity at the top of the wish list.

The result is a vacation home on the island of Mallorca with beautiful clean lines, using sandstone, a soft white limestone, with the stark white of the sandstone cleanly offset by the brown of the wood for the shutters that completely open the walls of the rooms to the sun and the air.

Stark, bold shapes serve to define the bathroom as an adjunct to a simple, comfortable and elegant bedroom at the very center of the house, with a restricted minimal color palette of white and browns.

With well-placed clerestory windows on all of the North-facing, and huge open walls to the South the interiors are filled with light and filtered light.

The simple restricted palette of white set off by the richness of the brown wood extends to the stairway at the center of the house.

The whole residence is reflected in the turquoise of the pool outside the entirely brown and white house, adding a third color for relief beyond this gorgeous Mallorcan house.
