Passive house in Majorca

This passive house in Mallorca has been carefully designed with the primary goal of maximizing energy savings, integrating techniques and materials that optimize energy efficiency in every detail of its construction.

Located in Marratxí, just 15 minutes from the city of Palma, this house offers a restful retreat for its owners, away from the fast pace of the capital.

The main idea of the design is defined by the continuity and diluted boundaries between the interior and exterior space. A clean and minimalist architecture, transmitter of a leisurely, Zen and balanced lifestyle.

An old residential construction as the starting point, on a 1000 m² plot, a renovation and extension of 285 m² were planned, reorienting the spaces and completely restructuring the house. The necessary demolitions were carried out to adapt the existing building to the current urban regulations, and its shape was adapted to the clean lines and volumes language of the extension. 

The connection of the new house with the existing one was achieved through a parallelepipedregular, which opens completely to the garden located southwest. Aluminum carpentry placed side by side, creating a transparent curtain that seeks to eliminate the boundaries between interior and exterior space. 

This suppression of the inside-outside border is reinforced by the execution of a wall of stone plating, which allows a homogeneous visual perception in both spaces.
