Mediterranean architecture suspended over a cove in Minorca. An architecture of small windows, with the larger ones protected by deep porches. The large ridge roof protects the entire construction. The channel tiles are painted in light tones, in the tradition of the island.

    A reference-cum-tribute to the ingenuous neoclassical architecture of popular houses and white cemeteries. An intimate entrance courtyard is concealed behind the portal opened in a local-style stone wall.
