Carrer del Sol N° 3

Sol 3

The mature village of Pollença in the north of the Balearic island is not only known for its original Sunday market. The staircase up to the Calvary el Calvari, which is interesting from an urban planning point of view, as well as the old Roman bridge Pont Romà also attract travelers interested in culture.

Parallel to the lively market square - just a stone's throw away - is Carrer del Sol. A medieval street in its foundations, characteristic of the village of Pollença. 

No. 3 also carries the history of the village. Especially the first floor, with its wide walls, tells of another time. The striving upwards was strongly pushed in the 60s. Thus, the house No. 3, which is one floor higher than the neighboring buildings, received a tower character.

The living space of 125 sqm is distributed over four floors, three bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a compact entrance hall on the first floor and a kitchen on the third floor with direct access to the roof terrace. The latter rewards the many steps that a guest must take to linger slightly elevated above the rooftops of the village.

The south façade was gently touched to provide more daylight to the living areas. In addition, part of the ceiling was removed in connection with the installation of the staircase above the dining table. The light beige of the façade facing the street with green shutters gave way to a pure white - inside and out. Two splashes of color, the entrance door and the new staircase from the kitchen to the terrace, contrast with a strong yellow and give No. 3 a warm, inviting as well as friendly appearance.

The access to the terrace via the interior steel staircase is the heart of the architectural concept. The shifting between small, narrow spaces and those that grow larger culminates in an unmistakable panorama over the striking town of Pollença.
