Luxurious home featuring sliding doors with folding shutters
Set in the picturesque landscape of Palma de Mallorca, the Casa Fly project by Beef Architekti is a striking example of how modern architecture can blend with the natural beauty of the Mediterranean. Combining minimalist design of sliding doors with folding shutters with sustainable features, Casa Fly has quickly become a standout residential project that emphasises contemporary luxury living.
Mallorca is an island which is full of beautiful natural landscapes and picturesque views. The Casa Fly design reflected this using traditional techniques and materials sustainable features, and emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. This property features minimal windows slim sliding doors with folding shutters, respecting the local environment while creating a modern and comfortable living space for its inhabitants.
The house is positioned on a sloping site, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges. With large floor-to-ceiling windows strategically placed to frame the picturesque views of the mountains, forests, and valleys. The building appears to float above the ground, enhancing the sensation of lightness and transparency.
The home follows a perfect blend of modern and tradition with its exterior look and materials, with clad in natural timber and dark metal. The warm wood tones are complimented by sleek black accents, which creates a striking contrast against the greenery of the site.
The decision to use natural materials was not only an aesthetic one but also driven by sustainability. Timber, a renewable resource, was sourced locally, reducing the carbon footprint of the construction. In addition, the metal elements, apart from providing a modern look, ensure durability and low maintenance in the often-harsh weather conditions of the region.
Inside, Casa Fly continues the minimalist theme with an open-plan layout that maximizes natural light and encourages fluid movement between spaces. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are unified into a single, expansive room, designed to be the social heart of the home. Large sliding doors with folding shutters connect the interior to a spacious outdoor terrace, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside.
Beef Architekti opted for a neutral colour palette, using soft greys, whites and natural. The use of passive house principles, such as strategic window placement and insulation, minimizes energy consumption, reinforcing the sustainable nature of the design.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Casa Fly is its strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The house is designed to respond to its environment in a sensitive and thoughtful way. The expansive sliding doors with folding shutters are not just for aesthetic appeal—they also serve a functional purpose, allowing for natural cross-ventilation and passive solar heating.
For those seeking inspiration in modern, sustainable living, Casa Fly is a project that deserves attention and admiration. It showcases how thoughtful design can transform a space into a true oasis, where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony.
