"Can Calder” is a white building, striking in its simplicity, situated in the heart of Palma de Mallorca. Unlike the impressive townhouses that surround it, the secrete of "Can Calder's” beauty lies in its clear dimensions and the lack of ostentatiousness and adornment. In other words, it is not by its monumentalism that it catches the eye, but rather by its simplicity.
The house was previously owned by a boilermaker, but is now occupied by a passionate English art collector. It was also he who redesigned the living space in collaboration with the Argentinian architect Luis Laplace, who lives in Paris. The key desire in the project was for the house to have a kitchen that does not look like a kitchen, but without any shortfalls in functionality.
The first floor, known as the "planta noble” in Spanish, provides the perfect space for a kitchen thanks to the way the light enters the room. Lighting is particularly important, since works of art are also positioned in the kitchen living space that need to be set in the right light. The prevailing lightness of the room is accentuated further by an exclusive bulthaup b3 kitchen. Its white fronts seem to blend with the room to the eyes of the beholder. The associated bulthaup kitchen island acts as a discreet, structure-giving sculpture.
The open kitchen is linked seamlessly to the salon, giving it further width, proportion and elegance. When there is no cooking going on, the peace and calm of the salon can be enjoyed - the kitchen simply "disappears.” The lack of high modules also draws the observer's attention to the works of art, allowing the kitchen to be used as a gallery.
Art lovers can enjoy a coffee or tea here at any time of day and marvel at the view of the Gothic La Seu cathedral, located just two streets away, as well as the numerous exhibits, while the owner makes dinner in the same room.
