Town house RT6, Pollença

Partial refurbishment of this already updated typical Pollença Town House.
Dividing the work in two Stages so the owner could still use the house in between, we have managed to increase the amount of natural light throughout the house, as well as uncovering and improving the existing materials, and including some new ones to give it a little more character.

Project Management

As the work on the house has been divided in two Stages so that the owner could continue using it in between, it has been done so in the following way:
For Stage 1, we improved the Living Room and Dining Room areas by increasing the aperture of the dividing wall, as well as increasing the size of the patio door. Both elements have largely enhanced the amount of natural light that now runs smoothly throughout the groundfloor. All walls have been treated with specialized materials and paint to remove and prevent the humidity in the house due to old construction in breezeblocks. The ceiling between beams was plastered white, and beams have been updated with a clear colour to increase brightness.
For Stage 2 the whole Master Bedroom was created, as well as a new roof and new flooring conserving the original beams. Height was slightly increased according to the Town Hall limitations, and a workaround was implemented to ease access to the outside terrace and balcony.
As the house is very old, luckily some of the walls were made of Mallorquin stone, so we have been able to expose the beautiful stonework and give the outside patio a new look. Same goes for the Façade, which now has exposed stone and Breezeblock. 

Interior Design

As this was only a partial refurbishment, Origen has mainly focused on improving natural light and recommending what materials to use, as well as trying to conserve the original materials used in the house, exposing elements like breezeblocks and old stonework, and accentuating these with artificial lighting techniques.
