The House is located in a steep and rocky hillside covered in the local wild vegetation, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of Canyamel Bay. The plot is accessed from the ground level; from there you can choose between a gentle zig zag path and an elevator that will take you to the main entrance. Just as you cross the front door you are greeted by the first view of the bay, framed by the infinity windows on the living-dinner room. These magnificent views will be the backdrop for every interior space in the house. Also in this floor you will find a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, kitchen and utility room, leaving two more en-suite bedrooms on the top floor.

The design is based on the following principles: 
1. The creation of a sequence of stone platforms to settle the volumes built on the abrupt site. 2. The positioning of four stacked boxes that accommodate the main living spaces and frame the different sections of the landscape. 
3. The closure with glass surfaces of the interstitial spaces between the cuboids and the stone podiums in order to dilute the limits between interior and exterior space. 
4. The free positioning of the internal elements that define the use of the living space in the house.

The proposal gives the same intensity to the design of the four rectangular prisms framing a patch of the Mediterranean Sea than the air trapped between them. That way, the interstitial space between the volumes, far from being a secondary space, becomes the true heart of the house, the place where all the different views to the bay and the hills are present at the same time, and where the materials and colours chosen reflect the bay as well as the architectural tradition in the island.

Perched on a steep rocky hill covered by Mediterranean vegetation, Can Canyis stands out as a lookout for Canyamel Bay in Mallorca.  Designed as four sculptural boxes stacked at an angle on top of each other, the access to the building begins from the ground floor via a gentle zigzag path and through the use of an elavator that leads directly to the main entrance.

Bioclimatically smart, the building consists of a semi-underground area that helps to keep the internal temperature constant. Furthermore, the alignments of the various volumes and façade together with the placement of a small internal patio, allows leveraging on pressure difference in order to generate light breeze of fresh air.

Once you have crossed the front door, you are greeted with the first view of the bay, which is framed by the infinite windows of the dining room. These magnificent views are a constant characterizing every interior space of the house. The refined material palattes ranges from the white lime plaster to a local pale sandstone known as marés- a modern interpretation of traditional spanish concrete tiles- to bleached pinewoods, reminiscent of the ones the sea drags to shore. On this floor you can find the kitchen, storage room and a bedroom with en suite bathroom leaving the top floor with two other rooms with private bathrooms.

Decorated with cement tiles which reiterates the nuances of the landscape, the kitchen takes on materials and colours typical of architectural tradition of the island. The dining table in ash-wood, chairs and backrests in wicker confirm the search for clean and simple lines in the furnishings, many of which are custom designed by the architects.

For the most intimate areas of the house, a microcement flooring with wooden fixtures has been chosen. The peculiarity of the bedrooms with private bathroom contained in a volume of glass consists precisely in the furnishing elements; sinks, bathtub and shower isolated and freely set up in the space, allows you to enjoy the landscape from every point of the room. For both the bathroom and kitchen areas, the progressive stainless steel taps of the ASTA collection has been chosen in combination customized FREE IDEAS outlets with different silicone rubbers color that stays in harmony with the internal design.
