Imagine coming to your summer home and being greeted by an aromatic scent emanating from a line of olive, almond and cork trees that indicate the path to the house. This forever-summer home is located in Manacor in the south-east of Mallorca. It’s been entirely renovated in a way that preserves the house’s original Mallorcan spirit by Architect and Interior Designer Ramon Garcia Jurado. The clients’ request was for a ‘home where you can hang out all day in a sarong and be barefoot most of the time’. The final result is that and more, Garcia Jurado was able to interpret his clients’ wish while making the home also comfortable and sophisticated enough. The white walls and bare resin floors serve as the perfect background for the rich colored antiques throughout the house.
“The house has a mix of colourful pieces by young artists, vibrant contemporary ceramics and corals and characterful furniture and artifacts… These are combined with modern sofas covered in white cotton” Designer Ramon Garcia Jurado.

The green tiles around the swimming pool blend with the ever-expanding nature.
