2024 Special Recognition CID Award Winner Spotlight: Casa en Puntiró

Casa en Puntiró 4

At Coverings 2024, we honored 21 outstanding projects that demonstrated spectacular craftsmanship and creativity in the use of tile and stone. This week we’re spotlighting the 2024 Special Recognition CID Award winner for Special Recognition: International.

 


Project: Casa en Puntiró
Designer: Ripoll·Tizon Estudio de Arquitectura
Location: Palma de Mallorca, Spain


 

Perched on a steep hillside with stunning views of the Bay of Palma, this home by Ripoll·Tizon Estudio de Arquitectura combines beauty with practicality. Designed to comply with strict planning regulations, the house features a rectangular main body with a traditional clay-tiled sloping roof. Inside, it boasts two luxurious bedrooms with en suite bathroom, a versatile multi-purpose room, a cozy dining room, a modern kitchen, and a spacious living room.

Perfect for hosting guests, the home is designed to comfortably accommodate two families at once. It’s almost square floor plan cleverly separates private and communal spaces. Hosts and guests enjoy identical private areas on adjoining sides, connected by communal spaces along a diagonal axis that ends in the living room, offering breathtaking views.

Three terraces provide seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living. One terrace features a trellis for climbing plants, creating a shaded, green retreat. The home’s structure, with load-bearing walls and one-way floor slabs, defines its different areas.

The use of porcelain and glazed tiles throughout the home adds a touch of elegance. Indoors, durable porcelain tiles are paired with natural stone, while glazed tiles enhance built-in furniture and highlight features like switches and vents. Outdoors, the tiles integrate switches, light fittings, and vents, ensuring both style and functionality.
