Living with Purpose
The Mallorca lifestyle reimagined
Mallorca has long been celebrated for its natural beauty and cosmopolitan spirit. But the island is no longer just a destination for grand villas and spectacular views. Today, it embodies a lifestyle that blends thoughtful design, sustainability, and a deep connection to place.
Coertze & Clacher, the integrated design and build practice co-founded by Francois and Jess Coertze with Rachel and David Clacher, has been at the forefront of this evolution. Their work is defined not by extravagance, but by a philosophy they call living with purpose - creating homes that are beautiful, functional and meaningful, while nurturing the communities and environment around them.
Design That Responds to Life
Every home begins with the landscape. The contours of the land, the direction of sunlight and the prevailing winds shape the design, creating spaces that feel natural and harmonious. Interiors flow seamlessly between indoors and outdoors, capturing the essence of Mediterranean living: bright, open and tactile.
Materials are chosen with care. Local stone, lime render, and timber bring warmth and texture, while gardens planted with native flora enhance biodiversity and reduce water use. Traditional craftsmanship from Mallorcan artisans is celebrated, connecting the homes to generations of local knowledge and skill.
Technology supports a modern lifestyle without disrupting the environment. Renewable energy systems, water recycling and smart energy management are integrated discreetly, allowing residents to live comfortably while minimizing their impact on the island.
A Lifestyle That Gives Back
Living with purpose extends beyond the home itself. Each Coertze & Clacher project contributes a portion of profits to affordable housing initiatives in Mallorca, creating a positive cycle of impact. Residents of these homes aren’t just enjoying a retreat, they are part of a wider effort to support the community and preserve the island’s unique character.
Mindful Living, Inside and Out
Across Mallorca and beyond, discerning homeowners are redefining what makes a home desirable. They seek spaces that enhance daily life, respect the environment, and tell a story larger than themselves. This shift has transformed the island into a haven where lifestyle is measured not by opulence, but by thoughtfulness, authenticity and connection.
Homes That Reflect a Life Well Lived
For Coertze & Clacher, architecture is more than a design exercise, it is a way to shape how people live. Homes are created to nurture, inspire and endure, balancing individual expression with community awareness. In this approach, lifestyle is about harmony, intention and joy: living beautifully, responsibly and meaningfully.
