Built with Limestone Extracted from the Site | Stone House

ByMyProperty Life

Located on a rocky hillside in Menorca, Spain, Stone House blends traditional and contemporary architecture using reclaimed limestone from the site. Its trapezoidal layout revolves around a double-height central space that enhances natural light and fluid circulation. A 100 sqm covered porch extends the living areas, acting as a thermal buffer throughout the seasons. The house features an earthy palette with sand-colored concrete floors, whitewashed walls, and pine wood carpentry, achieving both aesthetic harmony and energy efficiency.
