Balearic Islands, Mallorca, Bunyola, Spain

Casa Milana is a designer home created by the Barcelona-based architecture firm AMR, designed to blend seamlessly into Mallorca’s stunning surroundings. This 736-square-meter property is situated on a wooded hillside, and its architecture adapts to the topography with a sloped roof that follows the natural slope of the land.

The property is organized around a central rear entrance that connects the three main areas, which preserve the stunning open views of the landscape: the bedroom area, the living spaces, and the kitchen. This layout allows for independence between the different areas, enhancing functionality and comfort. Between the various volumes are courtyards inspired by traditional Mallorcan architecture, which provide natural light, ventilation, and privacy.

The spacious living room is the heart of the home and is presided over by an elegant central fireplace that separates the living area from the dining room. Large sliding glass doors connect the interior spaces to the garden, the pool, and the natural surroundings. The outdoor areas have been designed to make the most of the Mediterranean climate, combining sunny and shaded spots. The property features an outdoor pool, spacious terraces, and unobstructed views of the landscape.

Natural materials and warm tones create elegant, bright, and welcoming interior spaces. The main flooring of the home is made of bush-hammered and aged Zarci Grey marble, adding character and sophistication. The bathrooms are clad in the same marble up to the ceiling, while the utility areas feature high-resistance porcelain finishes. The interior architecture combines white-painted thermo-clay walls, lacquere paneling, and natural limestone walls that lend personality to the rooms. The ceilings feature ceramic vaults with exposed concrete beams, reinforcing the contemporary Mediterranean style. The interior woodwork combines varnished iroko wood and lacquered paneling, with fully equipped closets. The exterior aluminum joinery with thermal breaks and large glazed surfaces ensures brightness and energy efficiency. The bedrooms feature sliding wooden shutters for sun protection and privacy.

It features state-of-the-art technology and energy efficiency, including a KNX home automation system for comprehensive control of climate control, lighting, audio, and video intercom.
