Fontanelles | Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Fontanelles is a urban development composed by a mix of buildings, each with a different use. This design provides to the community a space for apartment blocks, housing units, senior living, offices, leisure, student housing and college
As a coral organically forms, Fontanelles composition is based on nodes and axes, the nodes being public and open spaces that through the design, form connections between them. The project shapes the city by creating a connection within the buildings and Palma, regenerating nature, the existing vegetation and wetland, reactivating the economic activity and urbanization, creating a sense of community and giving an added value to what was before
By mimicking the organic growth of a coral reef, Fontanelles transcends traditional zoning to deliver a vibrant, self-sustaining ecosystem. It ultimately stands as a transformative blueprint for Palma—where architecture, restored nature, and diverse human lives seamlessly weave together to foster a resilient, future-ready community
