A Garden of Winter Delights
With 300 plus days of sunshine, there’s more to the Mediterranean island of Mallorca than just summer. Alexander and Jennifer Warren-Gash, design duo of Mashamba Garden and Terrace Design, believe you don’t need to head inside as the temperature drops. With good design and planning, a garden of winter delights – filled with outdoor Sunday brunches and fireside chats – is an enjoyable reality.
People of Mallorca
In conversation with a new boutique real estate company in Mallorca, Ocean View Properties, we discuss how we got started with our entrepreneurial journey of creating beautiful outdoor spaces that embrace Mediterranean culture and its lifestyle.
Wild at Heart
In this issue of The Mediterranean Lifestyle magazine, we discuss meadow planting, which is not only visually beautiful, but also has function within its design.
Rooftop Living
Renowned French architect Le Corbusier, who is one of the great pioneers of modern arcitecture, identified the roof terrace as being the ‘fifth point’ in his ‘Cinq Points de l’Architecture Moderne’. His view, which was innovative for the time, was that the roof terrace was an essential part of any urban home design.

What does a Mediterranean lifestyle mean to you?
Of course, the answer to this question will vary from person to person but for us at Mashamba Garden and Terrace Design, we believe that the essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle is to be found outdoors, fostering our connection with nature, and embracing the simpler pleasures of life.

Terracotta: The desire for aged beauty
There is something comforting about naturally worn, aged terracotta pots. Terracotta has a classical, timeless elegance found for centuries throughout the Mediterranean in the form of oil jars, urns, water vessels and plant pots.
