The Connoisseur Circle Award is an exclusive information service, designed for luxury travellers who are highly selective about their destinations and accommodations. This service offers first-hand reviews, from professionals who prefer to personally check travel destinations and luxury hotels on site and write from their own experiences.

The Connoisseur Circle Award honours the best residential projects in the world. This year, Cap Adriano Mallorca by GRAS Reynés Arquitectos was selected in the first place for the Seaside Europe category of these awards.

Cap Adriano is an unique residential complex in one of the most desirable locations in the southwest of the island. Nine villas and a 10-apartments block with direct sea access.

The 10 apartment building is located at the highest part of the plot, by the street and overlooking the front line villas, which are all set along the coast with private access to the sea. The building echoes a boat prow, projecting itself towards the views and the sea creating large floating waving white terraces as if they were sea waves. This big terraces extend the interior space to the outside, enlarging the apartments.

The villas echo the traditional Mallorcan Mediterranean patio house, a long heritage starting with the roman Domus. The inspiration comes both from the geometry of the house and the use of material. The house is designed to maximise the interior-exterior relation, extending the use of covered terraces and outdoor spaces. The villa also includes a big central patio, the heart of the house. The patio organises the whole house, extending the spaces and creating a different outdoor space, intimate, relaxed and that works both as a winter sheltered outdoor area and as a natural summer ventilation element.

The villa's green roofs allow for natural continuous green views from the apartments, without disruption: the planted roofs connect with the gardens between the building and the villas and therefore extend the green footprint to the sea, as the original nature, landscape of the plot.
