ARCHITECTURE

Can Martí, built approximately in the 17th century, was bought in 1994 by the Brantschen family. The building was restored according to ecological criteria using top-quality traditional materials and typical stylistic elements. Since the beginning of the 20th century, many travellers have been attracted by Ibizan architecture, which is rooted in the Phoenician and Arabic cultures. It was in Ibiza where the world-famous architect LeCorbusier conceived his system of measurements, which was published in his universal work "The Modulor". The personal styles developed by Josep Lluis Sert, Erwin Broner, Philippe Rotthier, Rolf Blakstad and Hans Uipkes show clear influences of Ibizan architecture. The "Pino" apartment was designed by Hans Uipkes.
