Blakstad Design Consultants

Founded in Ibiza in 1967, Blakstad Design Consultants is considered the benchmark when it comes to fusing Ibiza’s architectural heritage, style and traditions with up-to-the-minute technology, high-end materials and cutting-edge design. In recent years, the island-based design studio has extended its services to select international destinations, in response to the high demand for chic and authentic Mediterranean-inspired homes that exude excellence.

Remaining faithful to traditions while integrating a contemporary style is an ethos that runs deep throughout the Blakstad Design Consultants philosophy. Ibiza has been inhabited by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Moors and Catalans over the centuries, and influences from each of these powerhouses remain visible in its vernacular architecture. Traditions were passed from father to son for millennia, and while technology has allowed design and construction techniques rapidly evolve, it’s reassuring to know that the time-honoured practices company founder Rolph Bakstad immersed himself in remain the backbone of the business today.

The baton has now been passed to the next generation, and his sons Rolf and Nial have elevated the firm to meet the demands of the ever-changing industry and their discerning global clients. The multidisciplinary Blakstad Design Consultants team can assist in the sourcing and acquisition of a dream home, architectural planning, design and development, interior design, construction, garden design and landscaping, illumination and more.

The Blakstad Design Consultants portfolio is brimming with beautiful homes across Ibiza, ranging from classic restorations of the typical Ibicencan farmhouse – adapted to high-spec modern living – to luxurious, contemporary new builds designed to suite the owners’ lifestyle. This personal touch is incredibly important – while the brand is known for its signature Ibiza style, there is definitely no such thing as a cookie cutter Blakstad home.
