Located on the west side of Ibiza, the Spanish island’s essence has inspired this small duplex’s design, resulting in a serene and orderly identity. The owners wanted to reduce the interior design to the essential without renouncing the spirit of a Mediterranean lifestyle. Therefore, Francesc Rifé Studio focused on whites and controlling the excess light on an open-to-nature terrace.
Inside, the palette of whites extends to the lacquered walls and doors and along the floors. Only oak wood is revealed behind a large sliding door that shows one space while hiding another. As a result, the main stage is quiet and comes to life through the contrasting undercover areas and shelves. In the living is an L-shaped shelf which functions as an extended desk to the window. The use of curtains creates calm and softens the natural light.
The interior is defined by the surfaces of elm wood applied in the kitchen and a lounge-dining area to host family and friends gatherings.
