Like a watchtower, it must be accessed via its base, so Miel Arquitectos has designed an open cloister surrounded by glass and ceramic arcades which serve as a car park and entrance hall accessed by a gentle ramp. The upper floor houses the laundry room and four-bedroom suites open to the views of the Bay of Palma via a terrace with a swimming pool.
Casa Atalaya is crowned with a glazed pavilion that gives access to the terrace at one end and the other end there is a dining room that overlooks the valley that surrounds the house. The south façade is softened by the shade provided by a pergola. Between the sea and mountain views is the kitchen, facing the glass pavilion and the terrace.

Description of project by Miel Arquitectos
This single house emerges as a watchtower in search of the sea views of the Bay of Palma.
Like any watchtower this house is conquered from its base. Through a soft ramp you access a covered cloister and surrounded by ceramic and glass arcades that serves as parking and entrance hall.
On the upper floor 4 rooms open onto the Bay of Palma through a covered terrace that protects them from solar radiation while crowning them with a carefree constellation of water windows.
A floor above the Watchtower is completed with a glass pavilion and a large terrace that is diluted in a pool with no more limit than the horizon.
Between the two poles of well-being (dining room and living room) the kitchen conquers the terrace through a blurred glass pavilion in the style of the most glamorous beach bar.
