B&V COMES AT PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT FROM A CREATIVE VIEWPOINT ALLOWING EACH HOME TO DEVELOP ORGANICALLY BOTH INSIDE AND OUT<\/h6>\n
The global politico-economic situation always in uences the ebbs and ows of the property market. Markits Economics\u2019 PMI survey published in January still places Spain as one of the \u2018big four\u2019 European economies. While the rest of the country slowly emerges from the inertia of crisis, Ibiza\u2019s market is as buoyant as ever.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the last three years there has been a massive in ux of Europeans wanting to move to Ibiza,\u201d says creative property developer Ingo Vollkammer, co-founder of new island property development agency B&V. His partner, acclaimed Ibiza architect Rolf Blakstad agrees, believing it is most de nitely a sellers\u2019 paradise with the very high demand creating a 20-percent rise in sales on the island.<\/p>\n
Within this positive paradigm, Ibiza is considered a European hub providing an appealing lifestyle for families and individuals for whom national borders are blurred – their lives are intertwined between work and leisure across the continent. \u201cWe\u2019re getting more and more inquiries from people coming to live here year round,\u201d explains Ingo. \u201c ey\u2019re looking for a family lifestyle.\u201d Germans and British make up the majority of buyers with Dutch following close behind and a smattering of French and Italians on their tails.<\/p>\n

\nIt seems there is an aesthetic push back to simpler times, away from the hi-tech homes of the recent past towards something more companionable. Technology is expected to work quietly in the background and the buzz is all about connection with friends and family. \u201cArchitecture responds to the economic state of the world,\u201d notes Blakstad. \u201cPeople are seeking the familiar right now. We\u2019re building homes full of warmth and luxurious comfort.\u201d B&V and the island of Ibiza are at the vanguard of this lifestyle push and will continue to be for a long, long time.<\/p>\n
An abstruse cosmic moment occurs when two like minds meet for the rst time. It\u2019s not immediately obvious to the passer by or even to the protagonists themselves but underneath a handshake and a simple conversation are reworks of recognition. When Blakstad and Vollkammer met in 2014, little did they know these sparks would organically evolve to create a business partnership founded on a concept never before seen in Ibiza.
\ne concept is actually quite simple. \u201c e rst thing we ask ourselves is if we would live in the house we\u2019re developing,\u201d says Ingo. \u201cNumbers are not important \u2013 though obviously there is a budget
\nto consider \u2013 but we have creative freedom to complete the project according to the needs of the location.\u201d In essence, Ingo and Rolf are the clients and unlike other developers, there is no cookie cutter concept. Each home is tailor made to suit the speci c setting.<\/p>\n
Several factors had to coincide for a brand like B&V to develop in Ibiza. Obviously, the founders needed to meet in the rst place but demographics and economics also played a huge role, in addition to a shift in design aesthetics. \u201c ere are two demographics that are attracted to B&V homes,\u201d Ingo clari es. \u201c e year round residents, who don\u2019t want a minimalist summerhouse and the holidaymakers who may spend ve or six weeks a year here.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Rolf Blakstad grew up in Ibiza, immersed in the changes \u2013 both cultural and architectural \u2013 that would take place during the island\u2019s tourist boom, German-born Ingo arrived to the white isle just three years ago after a long sojourn in California. He met Rolf \u2013 the island\u2019s uno cial ambassador for traditional architecture with a modern twist \u2013 after purchasing an old nca requiring reformation. It was via this project the two men realised a shared passion, a comparable temperament and a common aesthetic.
\nis is the rst time Rolf has been involved in development. \u201dI enjoy the freedom,\u201d he says. \u201cIt means the creative side of architecture has a value and our choices are not limited by the restrictions of a set idea of worth.\u201d Coming at property development from a creative viewpoint allows each home to develop organically both inside and out. is idea is perfectly summed up in the company\u2019s motto: Organic luxury living.<\/p>\n
