Ca sa Verdurera House by BUC Arquitectura

Ca sa Verdurera House is a thoughtfully restored residence located in the historic core of Campos, a picturesque village in southern Mallorca. Originally part of a small grocery store, the home had remained largely untouched for over 40 years, preserving its authentic Mediterranean charm.

Preserving Historic Architecture

BUC Arquitectura prioritized maintaining the original stone structure, thick walls, and traditional layout. The renovation respects the historic context of the village while accommodating modern living needs. By retaining the spatial rhythm of the original home, the architects achieved a balance between preservation and contemporary functionality.

Key Features:

• Original stone walls and arches
• Traditional Mediterranean windowed facades
• Careful spatial organization to maintain privacy and intimacy

Courtyard: Heart of Mediterranean Living

The courtyard, an essential element in Mediterranean architecture, remains central to the home’s design. Serving as an outdoor living space nearly year-round, the courtyard enhances natural ventilation and daylight while preserving the home’s traditional essence.

Thoughtful Material Selection

Sustainability and authenticity guided the material choices. The renovation used locally sourced materials, maintaining continuity with regional architecture:

• Traditional water tiles and marés stone on the first floor
• Marble flooring
• Hydraulic mosaic tiles from the Huguet factory replacing damaged ground-floor tiles

These materials reinforce the Mediterranean character while supporting durability and aesthetics.

Contemporary Interiors with Traditional Charm

The interiors blend historic charm and contemporary comfort:

• Exposed beams and arches
• Strategically placed windows for natural light
• Functional layouts respecting the original structure

Every intervention was unobtrusive, enhancing the home’s livability without compromising the village’s architectural identity.

Design Philosophy

BUC Arquitectura’s renovation philosophy emphasizes:

1. Respect for traditional architecture and local culture
2. Maintaining privacy, intimacy, and historic character
3. Harmonizing modern needs with authentic Mediterranean living

The result is a unique, contemporary Mediterranean home that preserves heritage while offering modern comfort.
