Under Construction Roca Views Ibiza

Construction begins on the Roca Views project in Ibiza, set in a privileged location where the hillside becomes the central stage.

The project is rooted in the search for a solution that allows building on the slope while respecting its surroundings. This architectural challenge is brought to life through an elegant and minimalist proposal: a sheet of just 9 centimeters in thickness, subtly folded to adapt seamlessly to the natural gradient of the terrain and comply with urban planning regulations.

The design seeks to integrate harmoniously with the landscape, enhancing both frontal and lateral views to transform the space into a true lookout point. The residence goes beyond merely occupying the land; it acts as a mechanism that “captures” the surrounding scenery. Every line and fold of its structure is designed to embrace the essence of Ibiza, creating a shaded retreat from which to appreciate the island’s natural beauty.

The spatial sequence of the home follows a descending organization that mirrors the natural rhythm of the slope. At the top, a discreet garage blends seamlessly into the geometry of the structure. As one moves downward, the daytime living area unfolds as an open space connecting with the outdoors, offering direct access to the pool, which becomes a reflective surface mirroring the sky and surrounding landscape. Finally, the nighttime area, located on the lowest level, provides privacy and tranquility.

This project is not just a technical response to the challenge of building on a slope; it is a statement of principles about how architecture can be both effective and beautiful. The residence does not impose itself on the landscape; instead, it folds into the terrain, allowing the scenery to take center stage.
