Bunyola Mountain Retreat

Ruin Restored Back To Life

Within the Tramuntana Mountains of Mallorca the location of this ruin provided a challenge of accessibility in order to renovate the house. Working mostly by hand, the house had to be protected from the surrounding incursion of nature.

Using traditional Mallorquin materials a light and modern interior has been created within impressive exposed  Stone walls. The result is a wonderful mountain retreat with breathtaking views.

“It was important to retain a reminder of the historic past of this uniquebuilding. The excavation by hand into the mountainside, to create a shower within the cave, provided the solution.”
