Exclusive Design Townhouse In Mao

On one of the quietest streets in Mahón’s old town, Casa Archie is a townhouse built in 1886 that has been restored over many years by its owners, not as a project, but as a way of living. Every decision has been made slowly and with care, shaped by the everyday experience of inhabiting the space rather than by a single renovation moment. The result carries the particular quality that only time and attention can produce.

The house is configured as two interconnected homes, each with its own character and, on the upper level, its own independent entrance. This is what makes Casa Archie unusual: it works as a generous single residence and equally well as a main house with a completely private guest dependance.

The ground floor opens as a living, dining and kitchen space oriented toward a private patio. This hidden outdoor room, enclosed and planted, is the kind of space that defines the best of Mahón’s historic homes. Across the patio, a versatile additional space functions as a bedroom or studio depending on how you choose to live here. A serene en-suite bathroom completes the ground level.

The upper floors unfold as the independent guest space, with their own entrance from the street. The first floor has its own terrace, offering a first glimpse of the rooftops and baroque facades beyond. On the second floor, two further terraces open the views fully: ancient rooftops and stone walls compose a backdrop that feels less like a view and more like a reminder of where you are.

The craftsmanship throughout is visible in the details, in the way materials have been chosen, restored and combined over time. This is not a house that was finished in a single intervention. It was built gradually, room by room, with an artistic sensibility that has given each space its own quiet identity.
