| DESIGN DETAILS |
DESIGN NAME: Numa Beach
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Club
INSPIRATION: It began with a blank canvas and a clear vision: to create a space where the sea’s essence merges with a fluid, immersive leisure experience. A place where the salty breeze and warm sand blend with minimalist sophistication, balancing nature and technology. Here, dining and entertainment form a sensory symphony. Music, lighting, and design harmonize with the surroundings, crafting a destination where minimalism, hedonism, and precision turn every moment unforgettable.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Its neutral palette provides visual cleanliness, connecting with the sea view. Functional spaces have been designed with aesthetic unity, combining the restaurant, bar, seaside relaxation area, dance floor, and a rest area that also serves as an art gallery. The floor joints are filled with marine sand to blend with the surroundings. The lighting adapts to natural sunlight and creates conceptual effects, as seen in the access tunnel to the wet rooms.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Numa Beach has direct access from the beach or the street. The restaurant, bar, and Balinese bed area are harmoniously connected.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project began in February 2023 and was completed in June 2023. It is located in Playa de Muro, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain.
|
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: For the execution, a composition and scale of 100% natural materials were used, creating a chromatic palette with up to 10 shades of white, culminating in the natural sand’s own color, which was used for the material joints. This composition results in a seamless blend between nature and the establishment’s technical aesthetics, immersing us in a unique sensory design experience.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The project spans approximately 1,200 m², interconnected with both itself and the surrounding nature.
TAGS: Numa, beach club, mallorca, restaurant, interior design, mediterranean
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In the search for construction materials that balance aesthetics, durability, and versatility, sand underwent rigorous study to optimize its integration with microcement, concrete, and natural stone.
CHALLENGE: The key to this process lay in granulometric characterization, mineral purity, and the chemical compatibility of the aggregate with the different binders used in these materials.

Upon viewing the remarkable interior design of "Numa Beach," I am profoundly inspired by the elegant manner in which the sea's serene essence is seamlessly integrated into every aspect of the club. The thoughtful choice of a neutral palette provides a pure visual harmony, beautifully capturing and enhancing the natural panorama of the ocean, while the meticulous incorporation of marine sand into the floor joints subtly amplifies the sense of unity with the environment. Furthermore, the careful selection and innovative application of natural materials, combined with precise attention to lighting and spatial planning, creates an atmosphere that is both inviting and sophisticated, skillfully balancing minimalism, comfort, and sensory delight. The intentional arrangement of functional spaces, from the restaurant and bar to the dance floor and restful art gallery, demonstrates an impressive understanding of how design can profoundly influence human interaction and enjoyment. It is clear that the meticulous research into materials and dedication to aesthetic and technical precision have resulted in an extraordinary interior space that beautifully reflects the harmony between nature, technology, and human experience. Such a commendable achievement is undoubtedly deserving of the highest recognition, and therefore, I extend my sincere appreciation to the visionary designer behind this exceptional work, Juan David Martinez Jofre.
