On the edge of a small bay in Mallorca, where the beach consists of a mixture of pebbles and sand and the black rocks of the coastline embrace the sea like a rough arm, lies a house that seems to blend seamlessly with the rhythm of nature. Just a few metres of the sea, this house not only offers views of the beautiful waves, but on clear days even of the island of Menorca. Here lies the breathtaking fisherman's house by the highly talented duo behind Mallorcan studio terra coll home.
Tatiana Baibabaeva and Tyson Strang, founders of terra coll home, specialise in architecture, interior and furniture design. Their work exudes a serene minimalism and is inspired by nature, with each project evolving organically through a deep understanding of the self, the space and the client’s wishes. We would like to take you on a tour of their recent project. 
Originally, it was a small boathouse with shared walls, each with a door leading directly to the sea. These rough, practical origins offered a unique opportunity: the starting point was not only to transform the house, but to create a new relationship between the interior space and the wild coast outside. The studio drew inspiration from the surroundings, the tides, the rocks and the movement of the water, and developed a vision of an “interior landscape”: a spontaneous and natural environment in which the interior and the rugged coastal landscape form a whole.
This is an example of how architecture and interior design can blend together to create a poetic experience
Inside, each space takes the occupant on a subtle journey. Narrow passageways and arches create a series of surprises: light and shadow play across the walls, sunlight reflects off the water and shines gently inside. The feeling when walking through this house is like walking through nature, not linear, but with moments of discovery, silence, and connection with the surroundings. Every arch, every narrow passageway has been carefully placed to create a rhythm that feels both intimate and connected to the sea. 
Choices of different stones and a constant connection with water form the foundation of the interior. The studio investigated how water shapes and distorts stone, and translated this principle into the sculptural elements in the house. The washbasins, for example, have been left largely raw, with only the basin polished so that the water can flow gently through it. In the living room, a floating sofa seems to float above the floor, supported by rough black stone reminiscent of the rocks in the bay. This literally brings the horizon indoors, making the interior feel as if it were shaped by nature itself.
