A dialogue between history, craftsmanship, and contemporary design in a high jewelry space
The Brief
The project is developed in the historic Hotel Montesol building, in the center of Ibiza, with the purpose of creating a boutique that reflects the Mediterranean essence of the island and the characteristic elegance of the Rabat firm. The intervention had to respect the existing architecture, reinterpreting its arches and proportions to generate a warm, sophisticated environment consistent with the brand’s identity.
Project Scope
The arches of the original facade become the architectural motif that structures the interior. This repeated geometry defines the sales, exhibition, and customer service areas, generating a harmonious and fluid sequence. One of these arches establishes the connection with the neighboring boutique dedicated to fine watchmaking, creating two distinct but visually related spaces.
The chosen materials reinforce the Mediterranean identity of the complex: lime stucco on walls, terrazzo flooring and bar, and details in brass, rattan, handmade ceramics, and oak wood. The combination of natural textures and noble finishes provides a balance between tradition and contemporary style.
Natural lighting, filtered by the arches, is complemented by warm and focused light that accentuates the brilliance of the pieces and the relief of the materials. The result is a boutique that combines sophistication, comfort, and a clear connection with the Ibizan environment.
Between arches, stucco, and Mediterranean light, a boutique emerges where craftsmanship and contemporary design meet, creating a space that exudes calm, elegance, and island character.
Ujo+partners was in charge of all phases of the design project, executive development, manufacturing, assembly, coordination, and quality control, ensuring precise execution consistent with the brand’s identity.
