‘We appeared to the situation of the property for inspiration, from the excellent high quality of sunshine to the various panorama of Ibiza,’ mentioned Tara Bernerd of her latest collaboration with Spanish architect Jordi Carreño.
‘I like the combo of textures, from the rugged hills that give method to the extra cultivated parts of the island and ultimately run on all the way down to the silver sands of the seashores themselves.’
The British designer behind a number of the world’s finest houses labored with award-winning Carreño on the interiors for Can Cocotero, a villa on Ibiza’s Sabina Estates, an ecologically impressed personal neighborhood of villas with a five-star clubhouse.
‘Our transient was pretty open in that we have been to design a novel, six-bedroom household house,’ mentioned Bernerd. ‘While the villa needs to be luxurious, it needs to be a relaxed, up to date luxurious.’
Bernerd labored on the challenge all through its three-year development, and the tip result’s a surprising house that marries hanging structure with consolation.
‘We at all times attempt to contemplate how an area goes for use all through the day and into the night. Each inside and outdoors the property we’ve saved the palette mild and ethereal, with pure linens in pale tones, intermingled with striped materials and richer navy blue tones and mid-khaki-greens.’
From a sunken video games room to an outside lounge and even a non-public cinema, Bernerd gave us a tour of this island paradise.
Exterior
‘We constructed on architect Jordi Carreno’s imaginative and prescient for the constructing, which on one facet mimics the native stone buildings so typical of the island, while the backyard facet is a dramatic up to date assertion, wanting like it’s hovering barely above the bottom,’ mentioned Bernerd. ‘We sought to meld these two very distinct characters collectively by means of the inside design.’
The entrance entrance is a clue to the wedding of custom and modernity that unfolds all through the remainder of the home. Whereas the entrance is clad with roughly minimize Ibizan stone, it’s beset with giant, single pane sq. home windows, and a characteristic entrance door designed in a recent model and made with richly pigmented Iroko wooden.
Eating space
On the coronary heart of the home’s floor ground is a big open plan dwelling space, the place glass runs the size of 1 facet of the room whereas native stone clads the other wall, and a central sunken staircase results in the decrease floor. This spectacular architectural characteristic is ignored by a eating space outfitted for as much as 12 friends.
‘I’ve at all times loved the combo of latest furnishings with antiques,’ mentioned Bernerd, in a nod to her eating room concepts. ‘All through the property we’ve been cautious to pick out superbly crafted, quirky items of furnishings, from facet tables in mild oak, or blown glass, to mid-century lights. For the eating desk we’ve chosen a Conran-designed oak Pendle desk and paired this with Wishbone chairs, a ravishing basic design by Danish designer Hans J Wegner.’
Kitchen
On the opposite facet of the eating desk is the kitchen space, a small however neatly designed area with handleless, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry for max storage, built-in drinks fridge and a marble-topped island with seating for relaxed breakfasts.
‘The unique plans noticed the kitchen closed off from the principle salon,’ defined Bernerd, of the challenge’s altering kitchen concepts. ‘Nevertheless, by introducing smoked, cognac-coloured glass Crittall doorways, it allowed us to open up the area for extra day-to-day utilization, while additionally with the ability to shut it off for these events if you end up entertaining and want to separate the kitchen.’
Front room
Designed with texture and intimacy in thoughts, the lounge creates a comfortable nook amid the sprawling area. ‘‘The focus within the room is the Bonaldo B-Peanut couch, which exudes an air of leisure, but directly brings construction to the area,’ says Bernerd.
Finishing the lounge concepts is a customized hemp rug from Luke Irwin, a pair of Fly tables by &Custom with oiled oak bases and Pietra de Fonseca stone tops, and a mid-century Stilnovo ground lamp.
‘Going through the couch are a pair of Sergio Rodriguez armchairs in wooden and leather-based,’ added Bernerd. ‘The ending touches are artfully curated cushions in quite a lot of materials and textures.’
Video games Room
‘Main down from the lounge, we envisaged the decrease floor ground to be an leisure space for all of the household,’ defined Bernerd. It actually is that – head down the floating cantilevered staircase and also you’ll discover a versatile area that features a wine room, pool desk, a seating space with an L-shaped couch, and a customized bar.
‘For the villa we’ve designed the bar within the leisure room to be a focus within the area,’ mentioned Bernerd. ‘The decrease half is completed in a lightweight oak that has been fluted, and the highest is a surprising piece of marble, which we’ve had completed with rounded edges to melt the design.’
Cinema Room
The enjoyable doesn’t cease within the video games room – head behind one of many connecting doorways and also you’ll discover the villa’s personal personal cinema. ‘It’s one thing we’re designing increasingly more of,’ mentioned Bernerd. ‘We labored with the general pale palette and tailored it for a cinema area.’
Cozy stepped daybeds await moviegoers at this screening, with tufted upholstery in a denim blue cloth. Lighting is saved low and heat because of a mix of wall sconces, hidden ceiling lighting and LEDs fitted into the picket bookcase behind the room.
Master bedroom
The connection between the outside and the indoors continues into the bed room concepts – every of the six particular person suites has its personal personal terrace (together with the one that’s house to the live-in housekeeper).
‘On the backyard facet of the home there’s a main bedroom with a five-piece rest room and walk-in wardrobe,’ mentioned Bernerd. ‘The room faces onto the principle backyard, in addition to having its personal personal terrace with outside scorching tub, to the facet of the villa.’
Within the rest room, the Crittal doorways with brown glass seem once more as fronts to walk-in bathe areas, whereas a wall-to-wall mirror above the floating double vainness displays the backyard past.
Visitor suite
The visitor bedrooms are simply as elegantly designed as their grasp equal. On this one, the one pane sq. window is given a window seat with khaki inexperienced scatter cushions to match these on the white mattress with upholstered headboard, the colour tying within the greenery from past.
Every of the 4 visitor bedrooms boasts its personal four-piece bathe suites. On this instance, the cognac glass Crittall doorways return once more in Bernerd’s rest room concepts, however are this time accompanied by crisp gray and white decor within the type of zigzag striped tiles and a freestanding white tub.
Pool space
Whereas the pool runs nearly the complete size of the home, it’s actually solely half the story in terms of the multifunctional backyard space.
‘Because the villa is about in its personal in depth gardens, we designed the outside leisure areas too,’ mentioned Bernerd. ‘This consists of the seating space set beneath a pergola – the place we’ve hung basket-weave lampshades, so typical of the island – and the eating space with an outdoor pizza oven.’
‘This was envisaged as an outside lounge splendid for entertaining on heat summer season days, set within the backyard overlooking the pool. We have been eager to marry the design of the outside areas with the design of the inside, to create a harmonious entire.’
