At Casa Mallorca, the entire material language starts with one decision, the Daly stone brick. Designer Rob Diaz uses it as his starting point and builds outward from there, letting its geology set the tone for every surface that follows. Paving, walling, pathways, each material brings its own texture and character to the project, yet together they tell a single coherent story in stone.
Designed to age beautifully, Daly bricks develop a patina over time that only deepens their character. A mix of limestone and travertine, they produce a tonal range from light beige to cream, subtle enough to recede yet considered enough to hold a facade. Hand sandblasted, each brick carries its own surface texture and natural variation.
Installed with a softly extruded technique, select bricks project slightly from the wall, drawing shadow lines across the facade that shift with the light throughout the day. The Face Brick format makes this kind of application possible, purpose-designed for wall cladding, delivering the full texture and authenticity of a full brick without the weight. A dedicated Corner Face Brick completes the picture, maintaining depth and solidity at every angle.
Running continuously from the exterior facade into the interior walls, the brick dissolves boundaries. Its colour and character add warmth to the interiors without competing for attention.
On the balcony, Scala crazy paving moves through the same light beige to cream palette while introducing organic, irregular movement underfoot. Its clean sawn finish embraces irregularity and imperfection while respecting the beautiful simplicity of raw travertine.
In the bathroom, Scala batons demonstrate how a single material, used innovatively, can produce two entirely different readings. Laid in herringbone on the floor and stacked vertically as a feature wall application. Positioned over a field of Scala tiles, the vertical batons build relief into the wall plane, creating depth through light and shadow.
The garden uses Bokara in two formats, Freeform® walling on the boundary walls and cobblestones on the steps and pathways. Rugged, textural and deliberately unrefined, Bokara's cream palette works beautifully alongside the brick. Dry stacked, it has the look and feel of natural stone masonry – timeless in character, contemporary in context.
On the steps and garden pathways, Bokara cobblestones close the material loop. Their natural split finish provides grip and durability, while their sandy beige palette maintains continuity with all the other elements.
Casa Mallorca is a study in material pairing. From the extruded brick facade to the cobbled garden pathways, every surface is considered and intentional. This is how stone, in all its forms, performs at its best.
