Jaime Salvá Architecture & Interior Design has recently completed Villa Twelve, a modern single-family home located in Mallorca, Spain, that’s ideal for outdoor entertaining.

The home was commissioned by developer Sophisticated Projects, who asked for a design that would be contemporary, with straight lines, clean spaces, and that could lead to its own recognizable style.

Neutral materials such as the local dry stone from the Municipality of Santanyí were used in both the exterior and interior of the home. This stone, as well as Balearic gray limestone, create a calming backdrop for the pool deck and partially covered patio.

Lighting hanging above the outdoor lounge, as well as the nearby alfresco dining area, ensures that the spaces can be used all day and into the night.
