Mormaiquel House, a rustic house located in Biniagual, a small town of about 15 houses and 20 inhabitants in the interior of Mallorca that has its origin in the Arab period.
It is an isolated single-family home for a local couple and numerous animals on a 35,000m2 rustic plot surrounded by vineyards, with mountain views.
The house is developed on a single ground floor, providing a horizontality to the house that is consistent with the size of the plot. All the rooms are directed to the best views and orientation, but not forgetting the connection with the rear, thus achieving cross ventilation, as well as views of all points of the plot.
The style of the house is set by the strict regulations on rustic land. Conceptually, it is a sequence of parallel stone walls that divide the different rooms. And it is developed with a Mediterranean architectural style, using local materials, such as the masonry stone used in the walls, used from the same plot. This stone has a presence both inside and outside the house.
In the bathroom, microcement has been used in the vertical walls and in the cladding of the bathtub, thus reducing the number of materials, and eliminating joints.
The roof of the porch is made of reed, contrasting with the white painted beams, providing a fresh and Mediterranean air.
The owners actively participated in the interior design, who were in charge of selecting the furniture and the kitchen.
The work, which lasted approximately two years, had the technical architect Iñaki Fernández as responsible for the material execution.
