Ibiza

Team Leader: Ruthy Rosenheck Berlin+ Ira Miller + Emilie Diers
Photographer: Amit Geron

AS IN ALL OF OUR PROJECTS, SIR JOAN CAN BE READ IN DIFFERENT INSIGHTFUL LEVELS WHICH ARE PARAMOUNT TO DELIVERING AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE FOR OUR GUESTS. CONTEXTUAL INSIGHTS AND INSIGHTFUL STORIES RUN AS A SUBTLE UNDERCURRENT THROUGHOUT ALL TOUCH POINTS AND ENDOW SIR JOAN WITH A COMPELLING QUALITY OF AN UNEXPECTED AND AUTHENTIC FAMILIARITY.

Anything about Sir Joan is personal, familiar and magnets our emotions.

WE ENVISIONED SIR JOAN AS A SOCIAL VESSEL WHERE SPACE, DESIGN, MUSIC AND CULINARY COME TOGETHER AND HAND-STITCHED.

INSPIRED BY THE MARITIME LIFE OF THE BALEARICS, IZAKAYA’S DESIGN RESONATES WITH YACHT LIVING WHERE WALNUT WOOD PLANKS, POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL DETAILS AND SOCIALISING ARE FUNDAMENTAL.

IZAKAYA GOES BALEARIC AND SETTLES AT THE HEART OF SIR JOAN HOTEL. BARANOWITZ + KRONENBERG TAKE THE INITIAL URBAN DNA FOR IZAKAYA WHICH THEY FIRST DEFINED IN AMSTERDAM AND TRANSCEND IT TO THE REALM OF A SUMMER RESORT OF LAID BACK SUN-SEEKING ELITE, YACHT SETTERS AND SMART PARTY LOVERS. PERCEIVED AS AN INSIDE-OUT VENUE, SIR JOAN’S OUTDOORS AND POOL ARE PART AND PARCEL OF THE IZAKAYA EXPERIENCE. IN IZAKAYA IBIZA PEOPLE CAN WHILE AWAY A WHOLE DAY, ATTRACTED BY A SENSE OF COSINESS AND AN AUTHENTIC FAMILIARITY WHICH IS NEVER TRADITIONAL. BARANOWITZ + KRONENBERG REINTRODUCE THE ICONIC IZAKAYA’S 360 DEGREES BAR AS A MECCA OF SORTS, EXECUTED IN BLACK STEEL AND EMBRACED BY AN OVERWHELMING WINE LIBRARY SET IN A STATE OF THE ART FRIDGES OF CRYSTAL GLASS AND POLISHED STEEL. IZAKAYA’S SHOW KITCHEN STANDS OUT AS A SOCIALISING VENUE WHERE PARTIES OF 15 HAPPY FEW SHARE AN INSPIRING CULINARY PERFORMANCE WHILE SEATED ALONG THE POLISHED STEEL COUNTER TOP OF THE KITCHEN. FLOATING ABOVE IT ALL IS A STAINLESS STEEL POLISHED LAMELLA CEILING, AMPLIFYING THE UNFOLDING CHRONICLES OF IZAKAYA LIVING.

SUN AND SHADE ARE KEY PLAYERS ON THE ISLAND AND IZAKAYA IS LAID OUT TO ACCOMMODATE ALL SHADES.

OUTDOOR DINING AROUND THE POOL TAKES IZAKAYA UNDER THE SUN FOR WHICH B+K CAME UP WITH A LAID BACK SPATIAL EXPERIENCE SUPPORTED BY A SIMPLE BESPOKE DESIGN GESTURES WHERE AFTER SUNSET SUN LOUNGERS TURN INTO COSY DINING TABLES AND CABANAS INTO PRIVATE DINING ROOMS.
