B AU H AU S NEIGHBORHOOD AT A GLANCE: SANTA CATALINA Santa Catalina is one of the most unique neighborhoods in Mallorca. Located just above the port to the west of old town Palma, this friendly neighborhood has a vibrant energy mixing old and new. It is anchored by the lively Santa Catalina Market with its quality suppliers of produce, fish, meat, cheese, flowers as well as the small bars to enjoy fresh food including sushi, tapas, and local beer. The nearby old fisherman s village, Es Jonquet, is one of the last standing communities of its kind. Santa Catalina is home to numerous excellent restaurants, hip bars, cool coffee shops and independent boutiques, such as Cachao, which creates a range of handmade 100% pure raw chocolate cacao bars and snacks, and Living Concepts, a unique showroom that features a curated selection of furniture, objects and art, as well as onsite interior decorators available for consultation on private and commercial projects. Within easy walking distance to the center of Palma, Es Baluard Museum, the port, and easy access to the main highway to access the rest of the island, Santa Catalina is an ideal base for living. ~5~

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN Christine Leja Architects has a holistic approach to architecture and design. Christine s definition of a beautiful building project is very simple, it is beautiful only if it is built to fulfill a particular purpose. Every design has a unique purpose behind it. Color and light are key tools throughout her creative practice, yet there is not one style that defines her vision. Rather every project is unique and developed in tune with the characteristics of the space and its surroundings. This honest approach to design and to relationships is at the heart of every endeavor and the foundation for her successful and creative career. ~9 ~
