100 year old paradise
On a remote mountain field in the rugged north of Ibiza lies this beautiful island home. What formerly served as a workshop and storage, has now been turned into a contemporary holiday home house. The owner of Ibiza Interiors and The Nieuw, Jurjen van Hulzen developed this 100 year old warehouse into the Ibiza Campo Loft.
The beautiful traditional building structure has been preserved to keep the character of the typical Ibizan architecture. Basic and local materials have been implemented; a concrete floor, chalk and mud plastered stone walls and ‘sabina beams’ made from trees that only grow on the island. A new material that has been incorporated into the house is steel. A powdercoated steel is used for the window frames and doors, and there’s a custom made hot rolled steel kitchen bringing a subtle urban vibe.
The result is a fantastic contemporary natural residence where contrast plays a big role; old and new, sleek and rustic, light and dark, rough and soft. At the same time there’s a certain balance as well, and everywhere you look something is happening. With an incredible view from the mountain, a yoga platform on the roof and many fruit trees and a vegetable garden, this is truly a piece of paradise. A unique place to relax and unwind, designed by and for design lovers.
