The Square House

19 01, 2010

MODO Architecture & Design have designed the Square House in Menorca, Spain. The house is mainly closed on its north facade, and open wide to the south orientation, it appears as a massive compact object, perforated by a “great eye”, framing the interesting views. The program is divided in two floors regarding to the existing strong slope of the site. The main entrance and sleeping area are on the first floor, while the living room and the kitchen are situated on the ground level. The kitchen is conceived to cook looking at the sea, this idea is reinforced by the use of the same floor natural stone in the interior and exterior areas. The exterior area is divided by different slopes, creating intimate or open areas as needed. Regarding to the native architectural tradition, we used “ White“ as the main material (and not as a colour) for the whole solution.
