hanks to its rugged mountains and fields of carob and orange trees, the Morna Valley is one of the most authentic areas of the island of Ibiza and the one that best sums up the wild but welcoming character of the island. There are these old stables with more than 200 years that the Ibiza Interiors studio has transformed into a multifunctional space that can be a flirtatious house to spend a few days, a recreational space or even a warehouse. And all without losing the Ibizan essence of the houses of the island.
As explained by the studio itself, the building they have called Atelier, is seated on the rocks of the area and is one of the four properties that are part of the Ibiza Campo guest house, also their work. “Its single-storey dry stone structure is typical of Ibizan stables, but the two large openings of the main façade recall the desire to give it a truly contemporary air,” says architect Jurjen Van Hulzen, founder of the architecture studio.
As for your us o, the building can be a small dwelling with a bedroom and a bathroom, a work room or even a place to relax. In the bathroom a large gray bathtub receives the sun’s rays thanks to a skylight and the bedroom has a built-in wardrobe, a sign that it can be occupied for several days or weeks.
In addition, all the furniture encourages that hybridity and the only fixed element is the modern kitchen while the large table can serve as a dining room or as a work table and can be moved. “On rainy afternoons, the room can be darkened thanks to the linen curtains and become a home cinema. It is possible to place poufs, armchairs and plaids and turn on the projector, “they point out from the studio.
Outside, designed by Ibiza Exteriors, the branch specialized in gardens and outdoor created by Jurjen Van Hulzen and Alicia Uldall, pays homage to the wild landscape of the island with species of Mediterranean plants adapted to the climate and that require little irrigation and maintenance. “The Atelier is a jewel in the rough, a small space that summarizes freedom, tranquility and authenticity,” they conclude.
