The vivid architectural style of Luis Barrag\u00e1n<\/a> spurred design studio Holzrausch to add bright pops of pink, yellow and orange to this holiday home<\/a> in Mallorca<\/a>, Spain.<\/p>\n

The residence, called Casa da Praia, was built in the late 1970s but now belongs to a couple based in Munich, who frequently visit with friends and loved ones.<\/p>\n

When Holzrausch<\/a> began the renovation, the studio discovered several features worth preserving, from its split-level layout to the sloped ceilings and pine wood panelling.<\/p>\n

As a result, the studio largely made understated changes such as covering the home’s “generic” white facade in clay plaster and overlaying the floors with micro cement.<\/p>\n

\"\"Barrag\u00e1n-esque pops of colour appear throughout the holiday home<\/p>\n

“The brief was less a rigid style prescription and more a clear sensibility: warm, relaxed, light-filled, with a strong relationship to design and art, but without showroom coolness,” the studio told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“Our intervention was less about drastic structural moves and more about recalibrating surfaces, built-ins and transitions.”<\/p>\n

\"CasaThe home’s original pine-lined walls were preserved<\/p>\n

The owners had just one specific request.<\/p>\n

As they were long-term admirers of Mexican architect Luis Barragan and his implementation of vivid colour-block walls, they asked Holzrausch to find a way to translate this into “architectural moments” throughout their own home.<\/p>\n

\"\"Holzrausch also kept the home’s sloped ceilings<\/p>\n

An example of this is seen in the kitchen, where the studio applied glossy sunshine-yellow paint to the ceiling and rendered the room’s tall hinged doors in hot pink.<\/p>\n

These vivid hues provide a bold contrast to timber cabinetry and grey stone countertops.<\/p>\n

“The palette is structured in layers: timber and warm earth tones as the calm base, then a few precise, almost graphic colour insertions,” explained the studio.<\/p>\n

“The result isn’t driven by loudness, but by hierarchy \u2013 quiet materials, crisp craft, and a handful of colour moments that land exactly where they need to.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Hand-cut tiles and terrazzo sinks feature in the bathrooms<\/p>\n

Beyond the kitchen is a dining area, followed by a sitting room with a mustard-coloured sunken sofa.<\/p>\n

Hand-cut Spanish tiles were used to create all-yellow surfaces in the home’s bathrooms, which also include terrazzo sinks crafted by local manufacturer Huguet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"A corner window in the living room looks out to the pool area<\/p>\n

Another yellow wall features in the main living area, centred by a patchwork Mah Jong sofa from Roche Bobois.<\/p>\n

A corner window offers views of the outdoor pool and deck area, which has a magenta-coloured wall running around its edge. Just in front sits a taller, burnt-orange wall with a showerhead affixed to it, so that inhabitants can rinse off after swimming.<\/p>\n

Other residences on the charming island of Mallorca include The Lovers’ House by Isla Architects, the facade of which is punctuated with openings that frame views of the surrounding landscape<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s also Alaro House by Company Studio, which is fronted by large wooden shutters<\/a> that let air and light through to the interior.<\/p>\n
