Citizens by García-Ruiz

, Palma - Las Avenidas

Apartment in the acclaimed "Citizens" development with southwest-facing terrace & pool

INTERIOR
The apartment at Citizens embodies a refined sense of contemporary living, where clean lines and natural materials come together with quiet precision. Designed by the acclaimed architectural firm García-Ruiz, known for its sculptural restraint and material sensitivity, the residence balances functionality with effortless sophistication.

At its heart lies a bespoke oak kitchen, the focal point of the open-plan living area. Warm in tone and meticulously crafted, it integrates Bosch appliances, a Franke faucet, and a Blanco sink, complemented by a streamlined island that defines both a culinary workspace and a social gathering point.

Expansive sliding doors dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, opening onto a southwest-facing terrace that extends the living space into the afternoon light. Framed by views of the pool area, this private terrace with dining and lounge zones evokes the calm intimacy of a Mediterranean courtyard.

Throughout, the interior expresses a restrained palette of light surfaces, natural textures, and subtle detailing. The living and dining areas convey a sense of quiet balance, while the two bedrooms introduce an atmosphere of softness and retreat. Custom joinery in muted beige with fine leather handles offers both generous storage and visual harmony.

The bathrooms continue the aesthetic language of the home – minimalist, tactile, and timeless. Clean geometry, pale stone tones, and walk-in showers with glass partitions reflect a sense of serenity anchored in craftsmanship and proportion.

The apartment as a whole articulates the García-Ruiz ethos: a dialogue of light, material, and space where technical precision meets Mediterranean ease. It is a home defined by calm elegance, clarity, and a subtle luxury that endures.

EXTERIOR
The exterior of Citizens reveals the unmistakable hand of García-Ruiz in its bold yet disciplined architectural expression. The façade, composed of steel, concrete, and glass, strikes a fine balance between strength and transparency. Sliding panels introduce rhythm and depth, forming a dynamic double façade that merges sculptural presence with practical intent – shading, ventilation, and energy efficiency.

At the center of the building, a landscaped courtyard unfolds with lush greenery, a tranquil pool, and carefully proportioned stone terraces. The dialogue between minimalist design and Mediterranean light creates an atmosphere at once urban and serene.

Residents enjoy access to boutique-style amenities: a gym, spa, sauna, and steam room, all designed in the same refined architectural language, warm materials, subtle lighting, and meticulous detailing. The lobby, too, embodies this tone of quiet sophistication, with precise lines and a serene material palette that set the rhythm for the spaces beyond.

In essence, Citizens represents a new paradigm of urban living in Palma: contemporary, coherent, and defined by the interplay between structure and stillness.
