Part 1:We have spent an afternoon with architect and designer Pascal Cheikh Djavadi, the brilliant individual who is behind the renovation project of ORFEO PALACIO in Old Town Ibiza. We obtained a glimpse into the Pascal´s unique journey, inspirations, and experiences. An intriguing fact about Pascal – he has a unique aversion: doors!

Q1: Can you tell us about yourself and aspects of your work experience?
Pascal: I have a mixed background. I am half Iranian and half French. I was born in Iran, but I have spent most of my life living in Paris. My design journey began over 20 years ago, and it all started right here in Ibiza. I embarked on a renovation project for friends, between Santa Gertrudis and San Mateo.

Q2: How would you characterize your design style?
Pascal: Defining my style is a challenge, as it evolves with each project. I embrace minimalism, I am drawn to the elegance of natural materials and colours.

Q3: Do you have some architects who served you as inspiration in your work?
Pascal: Yes of course, Mies van der Rohe, German architect who worked a lot in Chicago. Japanese minimalist architects such as Tadao Ando and Kengo Kuma. Their work I really like, and it often inspires me in my work as well.

Q4: When dealing with renovation projects, do you have a preference for specific materials, and how do you tailor material choices to the project's goals and nature?
Pascal: I tend towards materials from nature, particularly wood and stone. My colour palette often takes cues from the natural world. The material selection is a highly contextual process.
Q5: Can you delve into the approach and underlying design concept for the renovation of Palacio?
Pascal: For every project, I respect the existing space and its history. At Palacio, this meant preserving the historical significance of elements like the stairs handrails, while introducing openness and an abundance of light. It's about harmonizing the past with a fresh outlook.
Q6: What sets Palacio apart from other residences in Ibiza?
Pascal: Palacio is truly one of a kind, distinguished by its historical legacy. It stands as a testament to Ibiza's rich heritage and the preservation of a unique character.

SHOU SUGI BAN

Originating in 18th century Japan, Shou Sugi Ban is a particularly striking method of preserving wood by charring it with fire. Originally called Yakisugi in Japanese.

This technique has been used for centuries in Japan and is growing in popularity around the world. It can be used as a treatment on outdoor architectural elements such as siding, as well as indoors on walls and furniture. The shou sugi ban process involves charring the wood, cooling it, cleaning by brushing and washing then finishing the wood with oil.
Eve chose black, a very traditional style of this technique, which goes perfectly with the gold metal door that separates the dinning room from the kitchen.

Quiet luxury.

How could we define quiet luxury exactly? It is a step away away from logos, from anything too of-the-moment or trend-led, from anything that is easily defined by the era it was created in. Instead, it is about investing into pieces that are classic and timeless, designed to be worn for decades, and made to the highest quality so that they are able to achieve this.
We chose a couple of brands elegant, sophisticated and timeless just like Palacio

Your favourite breakfast and coffee place just around the corner.

And just when you thought there was nothing better, a picture-perfect Dalt Vila's French patisserie is just around the corner of the Palacio. This iconic spot is run by Andre, an Ibizan face recognizable by his incredible Dali-style moustache. He's been serving partygoers and ravers after clubbing for many years.
This gem was open 24 hours a day in the summer and as there were no strict rules about breakfast time, with the first coffee served at 5am, it was the favourite place to go after the party. Favourites on the menu include pains au chocolat, quiches, buttered croissants and desserts accompanied by freshly squeezed fruit juices and café con leche. We invite you to come and sample these delicious pastries and meet the late risers, the dreamers, the dance floor lovers, the sun worshippers and the early risers.

Extra tip: you can now listen to Ibiza's iconic Croissant-show morning radio station. You can expect Balearic vibes, organic flavours, dreamy moments and, as they say, "smart but naughty sounds".

Historical overview and shared father:

As already mentioned, the legendary Grand Hotel Montesol and our Palacio Dalt Vila share the same architect, Joan Gómez Ripoll, who brought both buildings to life.

Hotel Montesol was built in 1933. This neo-colonial building has been at the heart of Ibiza tourism for almost a century. Ibiza's first hotel, it is located in the heart of the old town. In its heyday between 1950 and 1980, the Montesol was the gateway to the white island's hedonistic heyday. Celebrities and royalty, bohemians and hippies flocked to Ibiza and gathered under one roof. Pink Floyd, Orson Welles and Carolina of Monaco all stayed here.

Montesol Experimental
In 2021, Experimental Group acquired Hotel Montesol and started the renovations, first renovating the ground floor restaurant and rooftop bar. Now, designer Dorothée Meilichzon has moved her sights to the bedrooms, carefully infusing a bohemian overtone throughout the interior of the hotel.

Montesol boutique
New for 2023 is a small boutique featuring a curated selection of accessories and clothes from local Spanish artisans to international designers. Items include jewellery from Gas Bijoux, supple leather bags from Malababa, sunglasses to hide tired eyes from Pared Eyewear and incredible handmade scarves and ponchos from Aurea Fibra Nativa.

Historical overview of Palacio
The palace was designed in the 19th century for a Spanish naval minister and is one of three legendary Ibiza buildings constructed by Joan Gómez Ripoll, whose work includes the famous Gran Hotel Montesol in the Old Town.
The traditional structure of the building has been preserved, as has the house's interior staircase, but it has been renovated in collaboration with architect Pascal Cheikh Djavadi- .Pascal is a Parisian architect who combines the modern and the ancient with his minimalist style. Palacio combines dark and light notes with light contrasts. The house is filled with baroque materials, hand-crafted sculptures, and furniture, mainly in wood, which give the palace an elegant, ethereal look.
