Surrounded by a pine forest facing the sea, the La Ricarda estate was inherited by Inés Bertrand who, together with her husband Ricardo Gomis and the architect Antonio Bonet, built a work of rationalist art that is now considered a gem of contemporary architecture.

Initially intended as a summer house, Casa Gomis ended up being the family’s permanent home, as well as their life’s work. Light, harmony and space are the keys to its powerful charm. The roof’s vaulting is arranged in perfect balance with the waving tops of the surrounding pine trees. These iconic shapes skim over the landscape, with strategic openings breaking through their firm lines to let in the light. The varied colours of the glass and ceramics in the gallery is the liveliest element of the design; together with the hues used for the interior, they are reminiscent of the Weekend Max Mara Bon Chic collection’s palette. An authentically British style designed over yarn-dyed fabrics and check patterns, where lace detailing shirts and balloon sleeves demonstrate a new-found penchant for bon chic and bon genre clothing. From the inside, you can see the trees and wild animals that it lives alongside in harmony. In this house, which played host to huge concerts in the 50s, 60s and 70s, today you can hear only birdsong.
