Allegra, a house in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, showcases a design by Jaime Salvá that combines modernity and elegance across a 2,000-square-meter plot. Designed in 2024, the residence respects the natural topography and balances contemporary architecture with sustainability.
Located on a 2,000 m² plot, the house combines modernity and elegance while respecting the natural topography. This project reflects Salvá’s approach, which always seeks to create architecture in harmony with the Mallorcan landscape, balancing contemporary design with sustainability.
From the outset, Salvá’s team faced the challenge of working on a sloping plot but succeeded in overcoming it without compromising functionality or aesthetics. The terrain’s limitations and the proximity of neighboring homes required creative solutions, and the house was designed to optimize space, enhancing the living experience for its future residents.
With a south-facing orientation ensuring abundant natural light and an “L” shaped layout that embraces the external landscape while ensuring privacy, the residence creates a warm, welcoming, and efficient environment.
The residence is spread across three levels, each serving a specific function and integrating harmoniously with the terrain. The ground floor features a grand double-height foyer connecting the main social spaces.
On one side, the dining area and open-plan kitchen promote family togetherness. On the other, the living room is divided into two connected zones, ideal for relaxation or entertainment. This level also includes a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy for visitors.
The upper level offers more intimate spaces, including a master bedroom with a private terrace and outdoor shower, as well as a spacious walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, complete this floor, providing privacy and comfort for all occupants. The basement houses the garage, a wine cellar, storage rooms, and a multifunctional space that can be tailored to the buyer’s needs.
The use of local materials is a key aspect of this project. The façade incorporates dry stone from Santanyí, a material characteristic of the island, adding texture and durability.
This stone is paired with technological wood elements from Tarimatec, providing a modern yet warm contrast to the exterior of the house. Large-format stone-look flooring runs throughout the house, including the pool area, creating a visual continuity that reinforces the cohesive design.
The interior design also maintains this connection to the surroundings. On the upper floor, vinyl flooring that mimics oak wood was chosen, adding warmth and durability to the home’s more private spaces.
This project stands out for its ability to integrate form and function. The architecture offers an elegant image, optimizes space, and ensures a seamless connection between the interior and exterior. Every detail has been carefully considered to enhance the daily life of the future residents, ensuring the house serves as both a luxury retreat and a practical, efficient space.
The orientation and layout respond to the needs of the luxury real estate market while also emphasizing sustainability and long-term maintenance. The choice of durable materials, the connection with the Mallorcan landscape, and the adaptation to a challenging plot make this residence a standout architectural piece on the island.
The construction, which lasted 24 months, was carried out by Building More under the direction of Iván Cazorla. The technical direction was led by architect Jaime Salvá, with site supervision by technical architect Iñaki Fernández from Coco Ingenieros.
