Located at the top of a hillside, surrounded by pine trees and Menorcan ullastres, this temporary house is the first phase of a larger project.

Due to the speed that was sought to enjoy the landscape, as well as to have the least possible impact on it, a solution of fully industrialized modules that arrived fully finished was chosen.

The beauty of the place invited us to create an unconventional configuration, with exterior routes and access walkways, which enhance the contact of the house with its surroundings and made it possible not to do any joining work on site.

Intelligently, uses are separated based on their degree of privacy and taking advantage of the best orientations for each space.
To do this, the modules, measuring 3x9.8m, are arranged in a T shape so that the common areas, living-dining room-kitchen take advantage of the sea views and the south orientation, while the bedrooms face east, taking advantage of the pleasant light of dawn.

Furthermore, this configuration respects all existing trees and incorporates them into the access routes.

In the Mediterranean climate it is important to create shadows where it is cool, and we have done so in this project, adding different filters such as the reed pergola or the string curtains that sway with the north wind.

A place to be cool and sheltered from the sun.

The essence of the project is a small place to shelter from the sun, contemplate the sea, and blend with the Mediterranean atmosphere.
It aims to highlight the intangible elements: the lights, the colors, the breeze that sways the curtains, and the murmur of the sea, making architecture both fundamental and, at the same time, the least important aspect.

We believe that this concept perfectly aligns with the idea of the competition that has inspired us.
