Villa Terra Alta
NEW BUILD · MALLORCA
Living across the levels of a hillside
Villa Terra Alta grows from the sloping ground of northwestern Mallorca. The house steps across several levels, each with its own terrace facing the garden and mountain landscape.
Entrances, terraces and living spaces follow this progression. Natural stone, timber and Mediterranean planting connect the levels, while each retains its own outdoor space.

STATUS
Design stage
A volume released from the hillside.
The design begins with a simple gesture: freeing a habitable volume from the slope to open terraces and views on every level — like extracting a crystal from the rock that surrounds it.
SPATIAL PROGRAMME — FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE POOL
The house unfolds across several levels, allowing each terrace to retain its own relationship with the garden and mountains.
Natural stone marks the meeting of house and hillside. Timber and shade bring a welcoming human scale to the living spaces.
