Inspired by history and tradition, this 402.37 square metre home is a true piece of the Mediterranean, melding peacefully with the beautiful natural landscape. Created by architectural firm Beef Architekti , this luxury home in Mallorca is respectfully built from local stone to follow along with the traditional stone towns on the island. The stone facade helps to maintain a cool temperature during the summertime and helps accumulate heat in the winter months. Inside the residence, the stone walls become an attractive rustic aesthetic that gives the house a sense of security and permanence. Modern furniture and eye-catching lighting installations shape a contemporary decor scheme with elements of natural wood, rattan, and glass.
Casa Fly reflects the vernacular architecture not only with stone that’s sourced from the local quarry but by employing traditional techniques that are used all over the island of Mallorca.
Based on the typical construction of Mallorcan houses and their bordering walls, the traditional dry technique of ‘Pedra en sec’ ties the building with the local design that was declared as an intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2018.
The home opens out onto a large pool terrace, where fingers of concrete reach out over the inviting blue water.
The house is built in respect of the local environment; ventilating systems and areas of natural shading are included to offer relief from the hot Mediterranean sun.
The fenestration is recessed deep into the structure of the house, where the windows find shade beneath great concrete slabs.
The rustic stone-built aesthetic flows from the exterior to the large and spacious interior, where it meets with lime plasterwork, Estuco de cal. A grey modular sofa is set out in a sociable U-shaped arrangement, proving plenty of room for extended family members and friends.
When dinner time calls, a large rectangle dining table seats up to eight guests. The wooden dining set is complemented by a wood slatted wall feature behind it. These wood slatted walls are repeated throughout the interior, where they create interesting shadowplay as the sunlight moves. As well as portraying the contemporary slatted trend, the natural wood communicates a local traditional atmosphere.
The slatted wall panels also allow airflow throughout the home, even while the outer shutters are closed. Eye-catching earthenware dining room pendant lights complement the warm tone of the wooden dining room decor. A decorative bowl makes a simple table centrepiece .
Slatted ceilings bring more mellow wood tone to the abode, slicing a contemporary feel above the rustic exposed stonework.
Floor-to-ceiling wooden shutters fold closed across the transitional living space between the interior and the pool terrace for heat prevention. Not only useful, but aesthetically these wooden shutters hark beautifully to the traditional facades of typical Mallorcan houses.
Once the shutters are drawn back, a modern dining space links with the pool terrace to provide a shaded eating spot with a gorgeous view.
The unique dining set features a pair of solid wood dining benches that fuse with the tabletop.
As we move past the naturally ventilated dining spot, we enter into the kitchen via a set of sliding glass doors. The series of doors used across the property allows fresh air to enter each living space, or to flow throughout the entire home. Custom-made furniture stands out against the modest decor scheme, here in the shape of a bespoke cantilevered kitchen island that complements the outer canopies. Glass pendant lights subtly catch the sunlight.
A concrete canopy shades an outdoor seating area by the poolside.

Upstairs, a modern upholstered bed lays a simple grey platform against the warming tones of a stone headboard wall.
The wood slatted panel aesthetic repeats inside the bedrooms, creating a calming cohesivity through the house. A chunky bedroom rug adds to the texture palette.
Blue decor accents are inspired by the view of the clear blue sky and the Mediterranean sea.

Decorative trays are a powerhouse resource for organization. You might place a decorative tray at the entryway to catch items like wallets and keys, or on the vanity to keep cosmetics neat and tidy. Trays can be used in the kitchen to hold supplies for coffee or can land on a living room ottoman or footstool to serve as an impromptu table for devices.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation
1. Make it an All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:Design At Sketch
Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.
2. Add Wooden Elements
Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy
This black beauty edges towards wooden elements. We see a speckled floor, a white wall, and a central bench. Rounded black lamps hover over the island, providing functionality and style. If you’re wondering how visual intrigue is added to this modern black kitchen… a huge credit goes to the abstract art!
3. Complement the Black Kitchen with Orange

A bit of curve rounds out the hard edges—adding some much-needed warmth. This wave-design bench leads up to an orange-hued enclave in this black-and-silver interior. The burnt orange sure makes a design statement (apart from the unique central island).
4. Keep Your Dark Modern Kitchen Simple
Visualizer:Panda Fox Studios
A simplistic look makes this black kitchen a winner. We see the basics: a light floor, a black minimalist island, and sleek cabinetry. But the contrast between light and dark keeps the ambiance interesting, while the large window welcomes plenty of natural light.
5. Make it Dark… Or Not?
Visualizer:Who Cares Design
If you’re eyeing a dark kitchen aesthetic but are hesitant to make the change, this is it. Introducing more light, this black kitchen is hardly dark at all. Black benches, cabinetry, fixtures and stools are intersected by large-panel windows, a white shelving stand and light flooring.

Visualizer:Visual Method
This modern black kitchen takes another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries.

If you’re looking to create a modern luxury black kitchen, you know what you’ve got to do: Go big on marble! This natural stone adds the luxe factor to any space, especially as a large, central island, as seen in the kitchen above. You can also add it through the backsplash.
10. Make it Mysterious

11. Layer Gray and Gold
Visualizer:Mitaka Dimov
Black kitchens are cool, but what if we layer in gray and add accents of gold? This stunning kitchen space uses gray flooring to add diversity to the otherwise black palette. The thick gold panel is one way that makes the space look incredibly high-end.

Make your kitchen both modern and French with traditional black cabinetry. In this space, standing armoires act as sinks, and all other displayed items remain black. The stark white clock can surely act as the focal point of the space!
13. Consider Soft Elements

Rough, light wood and low-hanging white lights set this kitchen interior a world apart. You can also notice a layer of light gray cabinetry, adding variation to the otherwise dark color palette. These elements factor in softness to the black kitchen design.
14. Let the Accessories Do the Talking
Photographer:Mikko Ryhänen
In this black-and-wood creation, the accessories take center stage in adorning the interior. We love the houseplant, but the crockery deserves a special mention for doubling as decor. The light oakwood backdrop further warms the space up.
15. Consider a Matte All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:HDR Designer
Neat square panels perfectly line up to emphasize the stark black minimalism that is at play here. We love how the cabinetry is matte black with no hardware, adding a sense of simplicity. The herb planters are a healthy green addition to bring the otherwise simple space.

Visualizer:Huso
18. Create a Modern Dark Kitchen with Gradients

If you’re wondering how the intrigue in this space is working… It’s the gradients from black, to charcoal, to light grey. White surrounds in the walls and a monochromatic hanging light.

19. Leverage Black Textures

There’s nothing like personalizing your space to who YOU are. This kitchen serves the purpose by adding keepsakes and heirlooms. Also, black leaves room for details, so it’s one of the best colors to use if you’re hoping to display knick-knacks.

Who says dark colors make small spaces feel smaller? We only see black adding luxury to this compact space (with some credit to the white flooring adding brightness). This kitchen—with black marble backsplash—speaks opulence, and for all the right reasons!
27. Enhance Black Kitchen Design with Patterns
Visualizer:Ksenia Lenski

If you’re not in for a complete kitchen renovation, simply painting your cabinets black and adding a black-and-white patterned rug will achieve the purpose! We love how this kitchen keeps sets the base with white and tops it with black.
29. Let the Lighting Make a Statement in the All Black Kitchen
