Villa kitchen with a white marble block island and fluted oak tall units, a doorway framing a lawn and pine trees

Kitchens in Son Vida

The villas here were built with a kitchen sized for staff and closed off from the rooms the family used. The project most owners want is to open it into the house and rebuild it around an island, at the level the rest of the villa expects. Describe the kitchen and we pass the request to kitchen companies and kitchen specialists that work at that level.

From a service room to the centre of the house

A Son Vida kitchen was often the least considered room in a large house, and it sits behind a wall that the whole renovation is about removing. Once the wall is gone the kitchen becomes the centre of the ground floor, and the design has to earn that: a long island, a run that reads as furniture, and finishes that match what is on the other side of the opening.

The level is the question. These are large houses at the top of the market, and the kitchens that suit them are bespoke or the top of the fitted range, with a worktop chosen slab by slab and appliances housed as joinery. A standard fitted kitchen in a Son Vida villa looks like what it is.

The building helps. Concrete construction, generous ceilings, and rooms that were always large mean the layout is free in a way an old village house never is. The constraints are the terrace, the pool the kitchen faces, and the lead time of a kitchen made rather than chosen.

What a kitchen here usually involves

  • A wall coming down, and an architect saying whether it can
  • A kitchen that has to match the rest of a large house
  • An island long enough for the room and light enough to reach
  • Bespoke or top-of-range cabinetry, made off the island
  • A worktop chosen at the yard, bookmatched where it shows
  • Appliances housed as furniture, chosen before the joinery is drawn
  • A pool and a terrace the kitchen now faces

Does a Son Vida kitchen have to be bespoke?

Not always, and the top of the fitted market gets close in the cabinetry. Where the kitchen is the centre of a large open-plan floor and the finish has to match the rest of the house, bespoke is usually where the owner ends up, and the luxury page describes what that buys.

Can the kitchen wall come down?

In a concrete villa, often, and an architect says whether it is carrying anything. It is the decision the rest of the project waits on, so it is settled first.
