Description
Book SynopsisThe prestigious architecture studio Romano presents its new book, a masterpiece dedicated to lovers of the world of decoration and architecture, lovers of contemporary lifestyle, and above all, of the Ibizan character.
The book is a stylistic and photographic development of eight of his summer houses on the island, built over 20 years. With nearly 200 images, more than 400 pages and 3 detachable pages, a 100% exclusive production for the book, photographed by Manolo Yllera, creator of iconic images for AD Spain and China magazines, styled by Amaya de Toledo, stylist at AD Spain, and with the creative direction of Emilio Saliquet, creative director of Vanidad, the book is not only a coffee table book of decoration, but also a warm-modern reflection on Mediterranean architecture and landscape, reflected in eight houses built with respect for the island and the environment, a rigorous architecture, combined with a refined decoration and hedonistic landscaping.
Jaime Romano is the architect behind the projects featured in the book, together with his studio Romano. In addition to Ibiza, Romano has also developed works that today are being developed all over the world with projects for Russia, Tunisia, Barbados, Turkey and Switzerland, among others. He is the winner of the 'Three Diamonds' award for the most sustainable construction in Spain in 2019 and the Best Tourist Villa in Europe at the Boutique Hotel Awards 2018.
Trade Review“On a hill from which the blue of the sky and the sea are confused, a white, pure, organic and diaphanous house conceived by the architect Jaime Romano - inspired by the churches of the island - rethinks the traditional Ibizan architecture blending with the environment.” [Translated by Google Translate] - Andres Rubin de Celis, Interiores Spain
“Sober, austere and essentially Mediterranean, built with a reduced palette of materials that intermingle in each of the spaces and colonized by the surrounding countryside. It is one of the special houses in Ibiza created by Romano Arquitectos.” [Translated by Google Translate] - Miriam Alcaire, Elle Decoration Spain
“The book Romano: Ibiza Summer Houses, recently published by Carafernalia, compiles the best summer houses on the island designed by the architect and his team -among them Can Arabi - portrayed through the objective of Manolo Yllera and the stylistic taste of Amaya Toledo.” [Translated by Google Translate] - Arquitectura y Diseno
