A photographic celebration of the unique look of Ibiza
architecture, including houses, bars, beach clubs, restaurants,

Ibiza is an island of magical contrasts that reflect the passage of
time through its history, colonisations and its people of different
roots, customs and ways of understanding its particular
environment. The island is bathed in a magical light, accentuating
the deep blue of the sky and the turquoise of the sea. Conrad
White's photography was featured in Loft's previous book on this
subject: Ibiza: Blackstad Houses (ISBN 978 849936 906 8) which was
launched to great acclaim at the Architectural Association's London
School of Architecture in February 2013. In the author’s own
words, “the camera is my brush, and the light is my colour”.
As an innovator in the construction and real estate market in Ibiza
for more than twenty-five years, The Blue Pearl is most people's
first and only port of call when it comes to turning their dreams
of an island home into a reality. The Blue Pearl covers all aspects
of construction, remodelling and renovation, from a minor
refurbishment to a complete new build. With a profound
understanding of the local housing market and an extensive
portfolio of properties and clients, the team at The Blue Pearl is
equipped to find anyone with their dream home or the right buyer.
With a combination of white and natural stone blended seamlessly
with wooden beams, the Blue Pearl houses embrace the simplicity and
tranquility of the traditional vernacular architecture of the
Ballearic islands.
The definitive monograph on the ideas and work of the Canadian-born
(of Norwegian ancestry), Florence-trained, Ibiza-based architect.
The fusion of Ibizan traditions with modern function, form, and
taste is the hallmark of Blackstad's projects, which were dedicated
to conserving the cultural significance of the island within
today's architecture. Rolph Blackstad exhaustively studied Ibizan
architecture when it was still a living millennial tradition, with
peasant builders working with rules passed down by word of mouth
from father to son. The architect's study of these builders formed
the basis of his research, design and building for more than 40
years. This book is a tribute to Blackstad's work in the wake of
his recent death. In it, the reader will discover an unbroken
tradition reaching back to distant origins; a design based on
historical Mediterranean architecture, combining style and building
techniques to suit contemporary lifestyles.
Following the success of Conrad White's previous book about
Blakstad (Ibiza Blakstad Houses, December 2012 and revised May
2019, ISBN 978 849936 174 1), this new book collects the new and
most recent creations of the architecture studio founded by Rolf
Blakstad and developed later by his sons Rolf and Nial. This
336-page book shows, through some incredible photographs by Conrad
White, some of the most representative houses that the Blakstad
family has designed and constructed in the island of Ibiza. Rolph
Blackstad exhaustively studied Ibizan architecture when it was
still a living millennial tradition, with peasant builders working
with rules passed down by word of mouth from father to son. The
architect's study of these builders formed the basis of his
research, design and building for more than 40 years. This book is
the latest tribute to Blackstad's work in the wake of his recent
death.
Ibiza is an island of magical contrasts that reflect the passage of
time through its history, colonisations and its people of different
roots, customs and ways of understanding its particular tolerance
and idiosyncrasy. The island has a magical light, lined with light
blue in the sky and turquoise in the sea, especially in spring and
autumn, where the digital sigh of a camera’s frame can capture
the brightness and colour of the sensations that can be experienced
through its places, architecture and people. This is a guide to
Ibiza created from a photographic viewpoint, seeking the value of
the locations through the eyes of two unique artists with the
camera. The photographers have found a new way of understanding the
environment, with the care, dedication and ecological respect,
revealing shapes and colours that people otherwise may not have
fully appreciated. This book will introduce you to the beauty of
secret, magical and surprising Ibizan locations and buildings that
your senses will never forget.
