The Journey of Bringing a Home to Life in Menorca

Located on the pristine coastline of Sant Lluís, this home emerges gently from the sloping terrain, welcoming the Mediterranean breeze. With main living spaces designed on a single floor, the house creates harmony between interior and exterior, fostering connection and openness throughout. Large windows and seamless transitions transform natural light and outdoor views into integral elements of everyday living.

We contributed from the earliest stages to ensure a refined, cohesive vision. Our work encompassed interior design, custom furniture creation, tailored lighting plans, and the natural integration of outdoor spaces. We also managed the project's comprehensive execution, ensuring every detail aligned with the clients' vision for character and quality.

What truly sets VISTAMAR apart is its deep connection to land and sea. Stone walls mirror the surrounding cliffs, while carefully selected Mediterranean vegetation — olive trees, lavender, and rosemary — creates an outdoor environment rooted in the island's identity. Each pathway and terrace offers both intimacy and openness to the horizon, where the sea becomes an extension of the home. Soft, neutral palettes gain richness from artisanal pieces crafted specifically for the project, while thoughtful lighting creates subtle moods that evolve throughout the day.

"We bring to life a thin, almost intangible thread that runs through every aspect of the project, weaving together the elements that define the identity of a new home," says Lluc Pons, design and technical partner in Marès Solutions. "Once this vision takes shape, we oversee execution through close collaboration with local suppliers and artisans. We also prioritise our clients, maintaining constant communication in their native language to keep them informed of every detail and progress at each stage."

Mares Solution’s strength lies in offering a turnkey approach. Access to a diverse team — spanning architecture, engineering, landscaping, interior design, art, and styling — builds homes that feel alive and connected to the stories of those who inhabit them.

DECISIONS SIMPLIFIED

Large residential projects, with their many individual spaces, often present a challenge: creating a coherent palette of materials, colours, and finishes while maintaining a unified personality. It's easy to end up with disconnected styles that lack strong identity. We approach spaces holistically, considering how they will be lived in, how interiors will flow, and how each feature contributes to a consistent, well-crafted experience.

In today's world saturated with inspiration — endless Pinterest boards, Instagram saves, and global design trends — choice can quickly become overwhelming. Too many options can paralyse decision-making and dilute vision. Our practice cuts through this noise, helping clients distil their ideas, uncover what truly resonates with them, and visualise their dream home. By simplifying this process, we create spaces that feel intentional and deeply personal.

"We were very happy to work with Lluc and his team to take care of our construction project. Their responsiveness and professionalism were major assets in our relationship. Their always relevant advice and suggestions allowed us to achieve the expected result. A huge thank you for all the work done!" — Guénaël and Valérie, Homeowners.

DESIGNING IN DIALOGUE WITH NATURE

One of VISTAMAR's defining aspects is its environmental commitment. The project features locally sourced materials, highlighted by stone wall cladding that flows throughout the house, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. Every material was chosen to age beautifully, allowing the home to evolve while maintaining its essence.

The landscape design serves as both an extension of the architecture and a celebration of Menorca's wild beauty. Native species minimise irrigation and maintenance needs, reflecting a thoughtful approach to water conservation on an island where every drop counts.

THE POWER OF DETAIL

Craftsmanship forms the heart of VISTAMAR and remains one of its most defining qualities. We collaborated closely with local artisans to create bespoke features that give the home its unique character. From the raw beauty of natural stone to sculpted ullastre wood handrails and custom-designed furniture, each element contributes warmth and authenticity that mass-produced materials could never achieve.

The result is a home both grounded and alive — a sanctuary where life unfolds in harmony with the changing rhythms of sea and seasons. VISTAMAR celebrates not perfection, but the beauty of authenticity.
