Come with us on a tour of architect Mariana de Delás' low-impact stone hut, built circa mid-19th century, that she transformed with the help of a neighbor.
Thanks to the new window, the interior has natural light and a cross breeze.
Mariana used Mallorcan sandstone to build a daybed cushioned with local fabrics and fitted with metal storage bins.
The paintings are from Cinco Tejas, a Madrid gallery/artists’ collective that Mariana is part of.
The fireplace is original—”it was made for cooking the rabbits that were hunted; fireplaces are always the centerpiece of these retreats.”
The new window is framed in wood and overlooks a pine forest and the old quarry.
The design for the ceiling fan, fabricated by 2Monos, was inspired by Mallorca’s 19th century windmills.
Red accents on whitewashed walls lend the hideout a fresh, cohesive look.
The stone sink was assembled from old farm fixtures, including a basin that had been used as a dog bowl.
