Silver A' Design Award Winner 2025
Warm terracotta fabric cascades in sculptural undulations across the ceiling plane of Juan David Martínez Jofre's Numa Beach Club, establishing an immediate visual dialogue between organic textile architecture and the pristine geometric volumes of the interior space below, where cream-toned leather seating arrangements anchor the foreground in luxurious horizontal repose while woven rattan pendant fixtures suspended at varying heights create rhythmic punctuation through the middle ground, their basket-weave construction echoing the handcrafted sensibility of the draped canopy above. The compositional architecture follows a pronounced diagonal vector from lower left to upper right, drawing the eye through successive spatial layers toward translucent seafoam-green glass partitions that filter natural daylight into aqueous luminosity, their vertical orientation providing essential visual counterbalance to the dominant horizontal sweep of both ceiling treatment and seating modules. The chromatic palette operates within a sophisticated analogous harmony of warm earth tones—encompassing raw sienna, Naples yellow, and pale ochre in the fabric installation—punctuated by the complementary accent of viridian-tinged glass and the cool neutral of polished concrete flooring whose dove-gray surface reflects ambient illumination with subtle satin luminosity. Natural zenithal light penetrates the translucent canopy creating soft, diffused shadows that model the fabric's dimensional folds while eliminating harsh contrasts, producing an atmosphere of Mediterranean warmth tempered by contemporary restraint. The spatial construction employs deliberate atmospheric perspective through progressive value lightening toward the exterior aperture where canvas shade sails extend the hospitality vocabulary into outdoor dining zones visible through the glass threshold. Textural counterpoint emerges through the juxtaposition of smooth leather upholstery against rough-hewn wooden accent tables, their organic forms suggesting driftwood or artisanal craftsmanship, while the woven chairs positioned near the glass boundary introduce an additional layer of handmade authenticity through their intricate macramé-like construction. White structural columns articulate the architectural grid with minimal intervention, their clean vertical ascent providing necessary visual pause within the flowing horizontal composition while framed monochromatic photographs arranged in salon-style groupings along the rear wall introduce cultural narrative and historical depth without disrupting the predominantly naturalistic material palette.
Its neutral palette provides visual cleanliness, connecting with the sea view. Functional spaces have been designed with aesthetic unity, combining the restaurant, bar, seaside relaxation area, dance floor, and a rest area that also serves as an art gallery. The floor joints are filled with marine sand to blend with the surroundings. The lighting adapts to natural sunlight and creates conceptual effects, as seen in the access tunnel to the wet rooms.
