House of the Week 139: House in Mallorca

photography by José Hevia

Herreros architects transformed an existing vernacular structure - a refuge for shepherds in the Spanish countryside of Mallorca, into a 130m2 vacation home. The design sits on the original footprint and the facade of the shorter elevations replicate the innocence original stone construction. The other facades and interior take a decidedly contemporary aesthetic with a palette of industrial materials.
