This minimalist dwelling is organized into 2 white volumes with windows and openings to connect them to outdoors

Two white volumes are fronted with large openings that frame countryside views “like works of art on the wall” in this Menorca house designed by local architect Marina Senabre. The home is intended to reflect both the architecture of the Mediterranean island and minimal contemporary design.

Both structures are rendered and painted white. One is long rectangular building with a flat gravel roof, while the other is a smaller gabled unit topped with recycled terracotta tiles. There is no place for ornament, the house values the concept, proportion and simplicity. Doors are formed from wood planks to match the frames around the square windows, which are arranged to capture scenes of the landscape.

Living spaces, including the kitchen, dining and lounge are housed in the larger volume. Inside, white walls are paired with pale floors, wood accents and simple furnishings, including a rustic wood coffee table and white couch. The kitchen walls are covered with a series of white cabinets coupled with stainless steel appliances. A large white island and pendant light fixtures stand out in the center.

The interior of the house has been designed to reflect the same duality, it is minimalist and also warm, thanks to continuous materials that cover horizontal and vertical surfaces always in contact with traditional elements, such as natural woodwork.

The smaller structure contains guest quarters, a space for playing sports and a small indoor pool. This shallow basin of water has a miniature fountain decorated with rocks and is situated in front of a large window directed at a view of the landscape. A bigger pool also runs alongside the two buildings outside. Concrete and gravel paths connect the structures and also form a narrow patio space. Take a look at this dreamy dwelling and get inspired!
