the bconnected spirit
Bconnected believes in a holistic approach towards design and living. “Everything is connected,” Christine Leja likes to say, and that is exactly how they grew their business to include real estate, architecture, design and even chocolate. The bconnected team makes this holistic concept possible. Over the years, the team has become like a big family, each person plays an important role in developing the business, supported by their mentors, Christine and Andree, but also because of the established values which made them to a strong and connected community in which everybody can evolve, glow and be fulfilled. One of the first associations people have when they hear or see the name bconnected is colourful – different – inspired – courageous – energetic & empathic. And if you ask the bconnected founders how they constantly reinvent themselves and feed this drive, Christine Leja likes to refer to a quote of Mark Twain:
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform”.
“The bconnected team, headed by Christine and Andree, offers a unique combination of style, friendliness, and a touch of German order which is exactly what you appreciate when buying, renovating, and owning a home in Mallorca. With bconnected in your ecosystem you feel that you are in a safe haven– whatever comes to your mind.” --Anders and Eva
Do it with passion or not at all. That is the bconnected spirit.

Anybody can build up a design studio, but nobody can imitate your story and your mission. All is built up on your values and those make you different and special.
When Christine Leja and Andree Mienkus started the company, they defined their harmonizing core values, and through their guidance they laid the foundation of bconnected and defined the heart and soul of their brand.
