CID Studio drew El Monte as one of two interior lines for XO Jonquet, a residential development above the old fishermen’s quarter on the seafront of Palma de Mallorca. This is the apartment: a single level with the kitchen open to the dining and living rooms, a main bedroom with its own dressing room and bath, and a sheltered balcony over the city. El Monte is the darker of the two lines – walnut and dark stone against pale travertine, high-contrast geometry, materials chosen to hold everyday life without asking to be maintained.
