A New York–based entrepreneur and art collector sought to transform her Palma residence into a permanent home for herself, her partner, and her daughter. The apartment, located in the desirable district of Genova, offered an enviable setting but suffered from a layout that was anything but generous. With structural changes to the walls largely impossible, our design had to work creatively within the existing framework.
The apartment unfolds in two distinct wings: a public wing that stretches along the full length of the property, and a private wing with two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Deliberately conceived in contrast to the fashionable Mediterranean style, the interior embraces a metropolitan aesthetic—lively, bold, and sophisticated. Heavy wooden floors with tall skirtings, an open kitchen clad in champagne-toned metal sheets and deep-sea green marble, richly colored walls, and a curated mix of modern and vintage furniture all serve as a backdrop to the client’s art collection. The arrangement of the collection formed an integral part of our scope of work.
In the private wing, the bedrooms and bathrooms have each been designed with a distinct character—complementary yet individually unique in atmosphere. The result is a fresh and unexpected retreat in the Balearics: cosmopolitan, personal, and full of character.
