Visionnaire's latest Ibiza abode is an earthy, tranquil haven
In the heart of Ibiza, Spain, Visionnaire has unveiled a new residence that serves as a mellow, earthy sanctuary[1]. This contemporary design masterpiece, designed by MetroArea Architetti Associat, seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with the island's natural surroundings.
The architecture, following the contours of the hillside it is built on, ensures a harmonious relationship with its environment between the sea and Mediterranean scrubland [1][4]. The design palette features moody browns, creamy neutrals, and raw materials like concrete and wood, complemented by chrome accents and fluid forms that evoke both brutalist and organic aesthetics [1].
Large glass walls serve as transparent membranes, integrating light, greenery, and the sky into the interior space, while canopies and hanging gardens further enhance this seamless flow [1]. This design choice embraces Ibiza's natural character, including the power of the sea and the lush green of the surrounding scrubland.
The residence spans three levels, uniting architecture, interiors, and landscape with simplicity and warmth [4]. Inside, the interiors feature signature pieces from Visionnaire’s collections, reflecting a stylistic evolution grounded in Italian design heritage but adapted to evoke the essence of Ibiza’s environment and culture [1][2].
Notable pieces include the 'Aubade' bed by Alessandro La Spada, the 'Shibari' armchair by Studiopepe, the 'Babylon Rack Circle' system, and the 'Aries' armchair by Draga & Aurel [1][2]. The use of natural stone like marble, sculptural furnishings, and minimalist geometry also contributes to a refined yet inviting aesthetic that complements the residence’s natural surroundings [3].
The master suite and six guest bedrooms are located on the ground floor, surrounding the main pool. The first floor consists of a living room, dining area, kitchen, an additional bedroom, and a wellness zone with a second pool [1]. A panoramic sleeping area is located at the top of the residence, offering breathtaking views of the Gulf of Ibiza.
In summary, Visionnaire's Ibiza residence integrates with its natural setting through site-sensitive architecture, transparent glass walls, open canopies, a natural color scheme, and materials that resonate with the local environment. This approach results in a residence that feels both a part of its environment and a luxurious retreat shaped by the character of Ibiza's sea and landscape.
