SAOTA MERGES MODERN & CLASSIC DESIGNS FOR SPAIN’S
This stunning villa designed to blend into the landscape , which is something
SAOTA does it really, really well. The free-flowing design dissolves the
threshold between interior and exterior , maximizing the experience of
luxury outdoor living.
This relaxed resort -style home and work environment , a short flight from
Germany, blends into i s surrounding bucolic landscape through its use of
form and locally inspired materials.
Designed by SAOTA, it reflects a contemporary take on
Mallorca’s,architecture . The client’s vision
forBora Headquarters was inspired by the airy light- filled spaces of
SAOTA’s Cape Town project ; that they had previously visited the
complex , sl00p|y sloping , the site required careful placement of the building
to provide comfortable pedestrian and vehicular access.
Its length allowed for the creation of a linear terraced building with every
important room, on both the terrace and bedroom level ,
having uninterrupted views with an emphasis on outdoor living.
The linear arrangement is interspersed with green pause spaces on
both levels . Stone walls act as holding elements at the ends of the building.
The three bedroom blocks on the upper evel are
separated with lush courtyards all tied together by the steel holding
edge beams . The building is a fusion of a
contemporary approach with regional influences. The
traditional curved tiled roofs in the area inspired the exterior upper eaves
and internal gallery where the forms are re-interpreted as a series of stone
vaults.
The building is layered in the use of materials including plaster ,
stone,wooden pergolas and shutters , aluminum and large expanses of glass.
The entry forecourt leads one into the main living level which opens onto a
shaded outdoor terrace , raised half a level above the pool.
Internally it is arranged as a series of individual open-plan spaces . There is
aseamless flow between indoors and outdoors.
