Can Bordoy: The Magic of Brunet Arquitectes, Featured in Arquitectura y Diseño’s Christmas Special Edition

Read the full content in this interactive flipbook.

The December special issue of Arquitectura y Diseño (Spain edition) has selected Can Bordoy, a stunning home designed by Llorenç Brunet and his team at Brunet Arquitectes, as an exceptional example of architectural, interior, and landscape design.

This recognition not only highlights the brilliance of this project but also showcases the philosophy of the studio, which approaches each commission with a holistic and respectful vision, deeply rooted in Mallorca’s essence. 

When a professional photographer and a color specialist decided to create their dream home in the heart of Mallorca, they entrusted Brunet Arquitectes to transform an old agricultural structure into a unique residence. The result transcends traditional residential design, becoming a space tailored for outdoor living, family gatherings, and everyday creativity. “In Mallorca, architects build both the structure and the surroundings,” states Llorenç Brunet, emphasizing the dialogue between architecture and landscape. 

A Design Balancing Tradition and Modernity 

Located on a hill surrounded by wild olive trees, Can Bordoy reimagines traditional Mallorcan rural architecture with a contemporary twist. The original 50 m² structure was expanded to 235 m² through the addition of interconnected pavilions, each serving a specific purpose: kitchen-dining area, living room with an annex for bedrooms, a social space with a rooftop solarium, and a private suite with its own character. This modular design achieves aesthetic coherence through the use of local materials such as rough-textured, sand-colored mortar, which visually unifies the pavilions while seamlessly integrating them into the natural landscape. 

Each pavilion features its own green space, meticulously designed to enhance the relationship between indoors and outdoors. Innovative details, like the use of sand around the pool, reinforce the connection to the island’s environment, demonstrating the team’s ability to think beyond conventional design. 

Interior Design: A Narrative of Style and Functionality 

The interior design of Can Bordoy is a testament to the balance between functionality and style. From Michel Ducaroy’s Togo sofas to Cappelen Dimyr rugs and custom-made furniture by local artisans such as Tomeu Mestre, every corner of the house reflects the sophisticated tastes of the owners and the meticulous attention to detail of Brunet Arquitectes. The design skillfully combines international pieces with handcrafted elements and natural materials, creating spaces that are both inviting and visually striking. 

Outdoor areas, furnished with high-quality items such as Ay Illuminate lamps and Patricia Urquiola’s Garden Layers cushions, offer year-round comfort, making the most of the Mediterranean climate.
