This totally unique – and unbelievably beautiful – townhouse sits in the heart of Alaró, at the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains. This humble townhouse has all the basics – read luxuries -including 5-7 bedrooms, 5 baths, a wine cellar, and swimming pool. Vintage stone fireplaces and antique wood carvings feature throughout, a respectful nod to the home’s heritage.
What was once a cowshed is now a detail-rich home library and work space, thanks to the visionary talent of Crawshaw Architects. Filled with solid oak planks and steel framed windows, it feels like a bit of an escape – perfect for time spent during w.f.h mode in 20-21 – and is home to an expansive private collection of very rare architecture books. Yep, we’re drooling.
Think vintage furniture finds. Think luxurious finishes and materials. Mix these two ingredients together and you’re presented with the Amsterdam East Residence. This renovated 1905 home has a sense of grandness and makes a bold statement through its highly specific curation of objects and considered palette. Highlights include pendants by Florian Schulz, a 1960’s Paolo Venini Murano glass chandelier, and Peter Hvidt & Orla Molgaard-Nielsen Boomerang Chairs from 1959.
