In the interior of Mallorca, within a territory defined by its agricultural landscape, Son Bardissa, designed by BUC Arquitectura, proposes a contemporary way of inhabiting that enters into dialogue with the island\u2019s constructive memor.<\/p>\n\n\n

Many of the large agricultural buildings scattered across the Mallorcan landscape were resolved through simple longitudinal volumes, organised in one or two bays, capable of synthesising function, construction economy and adaptation to the site. Among them, the former dairy barns constitute one of the clearest examples of this direct and essential architecture. Son Bardissa seeks to recover the underlying logic of this traditional architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n

Taking this reference as a starting point, the architects at BUC<\/a> design the house as a single elongated piece, entirely arranged on one level. The building is positioned transversely to the natural slope of the terrain in order to reduce its impact on the surroundings and allow the topography to continue shaping the relationship between architecture and landscape. Access is resolved from the rear through a space excavated into the ground, while a sequence of levels follows the natural incline of the site, organising the transition between interior and exterior.<\/p>\n\n\n

The organisation of the project also draws on a historical reference: the destre, an old Mallorcan unit of measurement that defined the optimal depth of bays in vernacular architecture. While this measure was approximately 4.2 metres, the project updates it to five metres internally, accompanied by walls fifty centimetres thick that reinforce the material presence of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n

From this modular logic emerges a system of eight elements that structure the building. A subtle displacement between these modules generates the variations required to accommodate the contemporary programme: a central courtyard that organises domestic life, several porches that extend the living space towards the exterior, and small complementary constructions that accompany the ensemble.<\/p>\n\n\n

From a structural perspective, the architects decide to free the central wall that would traditionally separate the two bays. The structure therefore works transversely, resting on the walls that define the different rooms. This strategy allows the interior to become a continuous space, more flexible and capable of adapting to different configurations of use over time. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The experience of the interior is built through a restrained architecture in which materiality, light and proportion take on a central role. Thick walls, mineral renders and continuous flooring generate a quiet atmosphere that filters the intensity of the surrounding landscape. The openings, deep and carefully positioned, frame views of the territory and allow light to travel through the spaces throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n

In certain points, the architecture opens more generously. Porches and large openings establish a direct relationship with the agricultural landscape, dissolving the boundaries between inside and outside. The house thus becomes a sequence of intermediate spaces \u2014courtyards, galleries and terraces\u2014 where everyday life finds its rhythm in dialogue with climate and territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seen from a distance, Son Bardissa appears as a presence integrated into the landscape: a construction of elemental geometry, white volumes and pitched roofs that recall the island\u2019s rural architectures without falling into literal imitation.<\/p>\n\n\n

The intervention by BUC Arquitectura seeks to reinterpret tradition through an understanding of its internal logic. Agricultural architecture becomes here a tool for rethinking contemporary living: a structure capable of adapting over time and deeply connected to the place where it unfolds.<\/p>\n\n
