A blend of British sophistication and Scandinavian simplicity defines this elegant apartment renovation in Santa Ponsa, Mallorca.
What was once a dated three-bedroom flat is now a light-filled open-plan home — created for entertaining, comfort, and modern Mediterranean living.
From Concept to Creation
A Scandinavian couple wanted a home that reflected their lifestyle — bright, functional, and relaxed. They imagined an interior that merged northern minimalism with Balearic warmth.
Working closely with Paul Robinson Construction, the design team transformed the property with precision and creativity.
Outdated rooms gave way to contemporary spaces rich in architectural detail, bespoke furniture, and layered materials. Every inch of the apartment now reflects balance and intention.
Architectural Detailing & Material Craftsmanship
Paul Robinson and his team reimagined the layout to create an open-plan kitchen and living area, allowing natural light to flow throughout.
They removed interior walls, reshaped volumes, and introduced new focal points to make the space feel both larger and more inviting.
Classical mouldings, decorative wall panels, and fine handcrafted cabinetry with brass detailing give the apartment character and structure.
Each element was built to measure — blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary finishes.
A freestanding bar defines the entertaining space. It features mustard Art Deco stools and an antique chandeliersuspended above a reclaimed dining table, creating a warm, atmospheric centrepiece.

Colours & Textures
At the rear, the apartment was completely restructured. Two smaller bedrooms became one large suite with a luxury dressing room.
Custom wardrobes were designed around the couple’s lifestyle — with sections for golf and sailing attire, handbags, and shoes.
Brass pull handles, textured wallpaper, and soft ambient lighting create harmony between elegance and function.
A library-style shelving wall now frames the transition between bedroom and dressing room, giving architectural rhythm and balance.

Furniture & Finishing Touches
The furniture and fabrics combine British tailoring with Mallorcan craftsmanship.
Bespoke curtains, handmade upholstery, and natural linens soften the architectural lines and connect the design to the island’s rhythm.
Paul Robinson’s construction team coordinated every technical aspect — including the installation of UK electrical fittings and precision carpentry. Their coordination ensured consistency and quality across every element.
Throughout the home, brass door handles, switches, and sockets provide a seamless, refined finish that ties the design together.
Bathrooms with a Spa Aesthetic
Each bathroom now delivers a calming, spa-inspired atmosphere.
Walls were finished with natural Mallorcan stone, while Art Deco wall lights cast a soft, flattering glow.
Handcrafted vanity units add storage and elegance, proving that small spaces can still feel luxurious.
A Signature Robinson Transformation
This project captures everything Robinson Architecture, Design & Construction stands for —
meticulous craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and an approach that unites architecture, construction, and interior design.
The result is a home that feels timeless yet personal — a sanctuary designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining.
