Hotel Garbi was just round the corner from our apartment and is stunning!

On holiday in IBIZA, the worlds party central, and the first thing whilst walking down the Bossa strip that catches my eye is the architecture - at least I know I'm doing the right degree!! The typical tourist areas that I visited didn't exactly show much of the residential housing side of the island, but what I did see gave me a great insight to the traditional architecture.

There was a rectangular building sitting behind a round feature that looked like it could have previously been a mill of some sort.

So I've decided to start a blog, mainly to help myself. I want to keep inspired with architecture and interiors that aren't just related to my studies.

I need a place to record the places, buildings and designs that have caught my attention during my every day life, otherwise the photos will just linger on iCloud!

Right now is the summer break which is the perfect time to begin the blog! Aiming to post once a week recording all visuals from throughout the week, lets see how this goes!
