Timeless Elegance Restored The Revival of a Mallorcan Stone Manor

Antiguo Casal Mallorquin is a traditional Mallorcan mansion in Binisalem. The building was built in the 18th century and has since undergone several renovations. Despite the obvious traces left by time, it still maintains its unique regional characteristics. At the heart of the building is a staircase in the typical Catalan style, with banisters made of iron and wood that show the craftsmanship of the 19th century. The structure of the house is made of stone, wood beams and lime mortar, all sourced locally.

The facade of the mansion retains the proportions of traditional Mallorcan architecture. The ground floor of the house is connected to the street, forming an open communication space. The gate is large and heavy, made of hand-carved wood. The walls are made of Binissalem stone and the surface is treated with lime mortar to give it a soft texture. The Windows are smaller to reduce the indoor temperature during the summer heat.

The interior space is divided into three levels. The ground floor is used for social events and features a spacious living room and open courtyard. The courtyard is lined with locally produced hydraulic tiles and dotted with traditional stone benches. The middle level is the core area of the house and contains the main living space and bedrooms. The floors are laid in natural wood, which contrasts with the plaster decorations on the walls. Beams on the wooden ceiling are exposed, enhancing the historical feel of the space. The top floor, once a storage space, has been transformed into a peaceful resting space. The designers kept the original wooden beams and used light-colored walls to keep the interior bright.

Attention to detail has been paid to the restoration of the building. Due to the lack of maintenance for a long time, part of the floor has collapsed, and the wall has obvious cracks. During the restoration process, the design team adopted the method of hidden reinforcement to ensure the stability of the structure. The heating and air conditioning systems are cleverly embedded in the walls to avoid the impact of modern equipment on the historical features.

Materials are used in a sustainable manner. Binissalem stone is used for wall restoration and Huguet hydraulic tiles are used for floor laying. The wood has been carefully selected in keeping with the original architectural style. During the construction process, craftsmen used traditional manual skills to make the old and new structures naturally blend.

The restoration of Antiguo Casal Mallorquin is not only an architectural renewal, but also a cultural inheritance. The designer introduced modern comfort while retaining the original look. The transformation of the space avoids excessive decoration, but through changes in materials, light and layout, the building presents a natural sense of layering.
