Is Spanish Revival Architecture making a comeback?

What’s not to love about Spanish Revival Architecture? Curves & arches, artisan tiles, white render, Teracotta, timber frames & furniture, balconies & courtyards are all beautiful elements that complete this bespoke artisan look. For months, I have been in awe of the extremely talented TEd’A Arquitectes and their internationally renowned project Can Picafort, a once residential building transformed into bespoke, artisanal holiday apartments on the seafront of Mallorca, Spain. The design of this building, echoes many of the elements of the Spanish Revival in all its humble beauty. Intricate beauty and detail ensues in every corner of Can Picafort.

TEd’A Arquitectes ingeniously selected a monochromatic palette using terracotta hues to create a sense of calm and tranquility for holiday makers to unwind and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. These earthy tones accompanied with timber doors, windows and furniture create a further sense of warmth and balance throughout. The different plays on textures & patterns used with these earthy tones creates such visual appeal, one cannot help but feel drawn to these spaces.

As a Gold Coast Building & Interior Design Company we are seeing growing trends in design that celebrate, and draw inspiration from some of these elements of Spanish Revival architecture. Especially in the use of the terracotta colour in tiles, ceramics, textiles and artwork.  This earthy palette is gaining great momentum and is certainly a trend we hope to see more of. There is something about this earthy palette that promotes a sense of being grounded and connected to the environment around us. Many more restaurant and bars on the Gold Coast are embracing the natural curves and arches from the Spanish Revival forming both the exterior & interiors designs. You only have to look at the recently built Hyde Paradisobar in Surfers Paradise to see the curved arches, terracotta hues in the furnishes and tiles as well as timber furniture.  

We would love to know what your thoughts are on Spanish Revival Architecture and if you think it is making a comeback. Also, If you love this design and are looking to build a new luxury home on the Gold Coast, you can click on our ‘Contact Us’ link for more info.

As an Interior Designer working for a high-end luxury builder on the Gold Coast, I am constantly putting mood boards & ‘flatlays’ together for clients to help them visualize all the working elements of any particular design aspect of the build. The flatlay image above highlights the beginning of my process as Interior Designer in creating a visual story of what the project will look like upon completion.

Kitchens and Bathrooms are the parts of the home where the biggest impact can be made in terms of Interior Design and it is almost certain that I find myself spending a significant amount of time before & during the process of the build working to pull all the layers & textures together in the form of a moodboards or ‘flatlays’ for clients. My greatest joy when it comes to my job is seeing the faces of our clients at the end of the build when the moodboard has transformed into reality.

Over the past few years, our team at Davey Constructions has completed a number of luxury bathrooms & kitchens on the Gold Coast from Broadbeach Waters right through to Tallebudgera Valley. The pics above showcase some of our latest bathrooms & kitchens.

With the recent completion of our Hamptons Project in Burleigh Heads we feel grateful for the opportunity to work with such wonderful clients who truly appreciate their new home and absolutely love the new version of their ‘beach shack’.

This build took the Davey Constructions team 6 months from start to finish, which included a new pool, new front fence and all hard and soft landscaping.

What a couple of months it has been for the team at Davey Constructions. Our new build in Broadbeach Waters is really taking shape with the scaffold about to go up so external cladding can get underway. We have also just completed our second project for the year and our clients are just thrilled with their new home.

 In March this year we began demolition on our Hampton’s renovation in Burleigh Heads. Over the coming months we saw this modest little beach shack transform into the talk of the street, quite literally.

 Now that our clients are settled into their new home, we look forward to taking some professional pictures in the coming month. Here is a little snapshot of the project process over the past 6 months.

Have a lovely week,
