House in Mallorca by Dom Arquitectura

House in Mallorca is a project designed by Dom Arquitectura. The entire house’s program is mainly situated on the ground floor, where the main living areas—living room, dining room, and kitchen—are open to each other and the exterior, along with two bedrooms and a bathroom. On the first floor, there is the master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom and terrace. Photography by Pablo Serrano.

The house is designed around two clear bays, one of which is intersected by an intermediate courtyard open to the southeast, bringing natural light into the heart of the home. This courtyard connects the kitchen area to an exterior space, which is laterally protected. The first floor only occupies one of these two bays, leaving a small terrace at the end.
The design seeks intermediate outdoor spaces, semi-covered with sun and shade, which not only create a transition to the outside but also offer distinct areas to inhabit the house. Three porches with a light iron structure are planned to support reed screens.
Located in the center of the plot, the house opens toward the south, where the largest garden space is located, along with the patio and its porches.
The structure is very simple, consisting of concrete frames and pillars with exposed one-way slabs and traditional hand-crafted Mallorcan ceramic blocks. The facade is painted in the colors of the local stone, and marés stone is also used as cladding on some parts, thus incorporating typical local materials. Through its materials and construction systems, the house is well integrated into its surroundings.
SIMPLE GEOMETRY COMBINED WITH REED PERGOLAS
The house is designed with a simple geometric structure, in two bays, and opens up to its outdoor spaces, protecting itself from the sun with metal pergolas covered in reed, a natural material that provides shade and filters light, creating a cool and welcoming atmosphere.
