The sound of silence: Ibiza Interiors’ sensitive transformation of Casa del Árbol

Step inside, and design tells that story in detail. Every corner speaks a dialect of the land: rattan cabinetry that echoes the underbrush, hand-crafted oak joinery that feels sun-warmed and worn-in and a monumental fireplace carved from a single slab of stone. “We played around with different textures to give it a distinctive character,” Jurjen notes. “That tactile quality was essential, and it really paid off.”

Lines are clean, but never clinical. There’s a whisper of Pierre Paulin here, a nod to Mies Van der Rohe there – but always in dialogue with the home’s earthy soul. Natural light drifts in through clerestory windows and skylights, animating the living space as the sun arcs overhead.

Then there are the studio’s quiet signatures: vintage finds set alongside sculptural furniture, robust textures softened by organic forms. “We strive to ensure our projects are durable, so we’re always aiming for timelessness, never trends,” Jurjen says.

That timelessness is more than aesthetic – it’s embedded in the infrastructure. In more compact rooms, overhead skylights usher in daylight, transforming closed corners into bright, serene spaces. Underfloor heating cocoons the house through cooler months, while an integrated sound system hides in plain sight, primed for sunset playlists or winter evenings by the fire. Both there when you need it, invisible when you don’t. “Designing for Ibiza means understanding its duality,” Jurjen muses. “The summers are social and full of life, but the winters are more introspective. Good design needs to respond to both.”

It’s this sensitivity to the setting that elevates Casa del Árbol beyond its aesthetic appeal to a living, breathing part of the landscape. Rooms spill outward, through sliding glass and shaded terraces into the pines. A solarium dining space is crowned with a steel-framed glass canopy, blurring shelter and sky, while the pool terrace seems to merge with the forest beyond. “We didn’t want to dominate the site,” Jurjen adds. “We wanted to highlight the natural heritage – to be in conversation with it.”

And the conversation is ongoing. At any moment, Casa del Árbol invites you to pause and take notice: of light flickering across lime washed walls or the silence punctuated only by cicadas. Outdoors, a quiet terrace sits within the trees – a place to press pause or start the day with Pilates in view of the sea.

It’s easy to imagine a day – or longer – here, and the designer agrees. “A lazy morning beneath the sheets. A yoga stretch with sea views just visible through the pines. A twilight dip in the pool before dinner beneath the trees. Time just seems to stand still here,” smiles Jurjen. “We didn’t want to create something that shouts, but something that allows you to listen.”

Casa del Árbol is for sale for €6,950,000.
