Architectural Masterpiece of a Visionary

Mallorca villa designed by Alberto Rubio

Masterfully designed by the celebrated Uruguayan architect, Alberto Rubio, this iconic villa illustrates perfectly his style, with sweeping curves, spacious open-plan interiors and beamed vaulted ceilings.

Rubio, who made Mallorca his home almost 30 years ago, has created several “bird” houses on the island, all with white roofs and undulating curves that are in harmony with nature – the sea, the sky, the coastline.

This extraordinary villa is one of Rubio’s masterpieces, a superb example of art beautifully crafted to inspire. Perched on a hilltop at La Mola, it looks majestically down onto the fishing village of Puerto de Andratx, then across the sea to Dragonera Island.
The villa features impressive open-plan dining and living areas with a fireplace and gallery. There are five bedrooms, a fitness and sauna area. The outdoor space offers curved terraces, large infinity pool and outdoor dining and kitchen area.

The buyer of this unique house will not only become the proud owner of a fantastic Mallorca property, but also possess a piece of architectural artwork.

Price: €10.9 million.

UNCOMPROMISINGLY MODERN

Limited edition design villas and townhouses created by some of the world’s leading architects, without the designer price tag, are available on Portugal’s Silver Coast

Villa Portugal's Silver Coast

Portugal’s stunning Silver Coast, near the beautiful and historic town of Obidos and less than an hour from Lisbon, is the location for Bom Sucesso, a landmark project showcasing the best of contemporary architecture, offering individual architect-designed luxury villas for private ownership.

Billed as ”the largest permanent showcase of contemporary architecture,” 23 of Europe’s finest architects were selected to realise this vision. Among them are leading British architect David Chipperfield, renowned Portuguese architect Carrilho da Graca and Alvaro Siza Vieira, the Norman Foster of Portuguese architecture. This outstanding group were given complete freedom to make the best use of land for their designs, with one stipulation – all houses must have green, grass-covered roof, to harmonise the verdant resort and to conserve energy.

The modern villas and townhouses afford fantastic views over the golf course, the lagoon and sea. The design is sleek, the architecture contemporary – the residences are truly stunning. 90% of the houses will be single-storey and most villas will have their own private swimming pool, while clusters of townhouses will share pools. Each house is unique, having been individually designed to maximise the benefits of its plot.

Bom Sucesso is set within a 400-acre site of magnificent scenery. There is a beautiful dedicated beach just minutes away, the 18-hole Donald Steel championship golf course, swimming pools, tennis club, sailing club, luxury hotel and spa being just a few of the leisure facilities available.

Bom Sucesso merges luxury living with the benefits of modern design, while taking advantage of the spectacular landscape.

Prices from €250,000 + VAT for townhouses and from €562,700 incl. VAT for villas.

Where history and architecture come together

Beautifully designed, positioned for the views, this distinguished villa has fantastic appeal

villa fersen in capri

Villa Lysis, also known as Villa Fersen, is without doubt one of the most prestigious homes in Capri. It has all the right qualities: a unique location, interesting architecture and an exciting history.

Built in 1905 in a Neo-classical style by count Jacques d’Adelswärd-Fersen, this magnificent villa is uniquely situated in a dramatic setting. D’Adelswärd-Fersen was one of the most flamboyant visitors to the island. He wanted to build a residence in a secluded area – a romantic place on a cliff overlooking the sea – and create arcs and dome roofs that would give it a classical flair.

The end result is a villa that features endless sources of architectural inspiration: the ground floor extends to a pronaos (the inner area of the portico of a Greek or Roman temple), preceded by a wide, classical temple-style stairway. The gilding seen in the main hall recalls the Viennese Secession. The decorative details of the staircase handrail are in true Art Nouveau style.

The 7-bedroom villa features a wonderful garden surrounded by climbing plants and cypresses and boasts stunning views of the beautiful cliffs of Capri.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in Capri.

Price upon request.
