Concrete Duality | Frame House

ByMyProperty Life

Frame House is a minimalist concrete residence on the northeast coast of Menorca, Spain. Designed by Nomo Studio, the house features a striking contrast between its closed street-facing facade and its fully glazed seafront side. Positioned at the highest point of a steep plot, it offers uninterrupted ocean views. The layout reverses the traditional arrangement, placing social areas on the upper floor and bedrooms below. A cantilevered roof with prefabricated slabs creates a column-free terrace, while a frameless skylight brings natural light to the rear. The off-white in-situ concrete facade blends seamlessly with the coastal landscape.

Next door to Bel Air, Brentwood and Beverly Hills, with easy access to the 405, and just up the street from Ventura Boulevard, the location couldn’t be more convenient.

Rebuilt from top to bottom in 2016, the result is a brand new home respectful of the original design, yet upgraded to the standards of the new millennium. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors connect the interior to the landscape, flooding the interior with natural light, together with skylights and clerestory windows. An elegant cook’s kitchen with sleek custom cabinetry and high-end appliances opens directly to the living room and dining room, ideal for entertaining. Valley views, multiple fireplaces, sculptural wine display cabinet, wide plank white oak floors, Carrara marble, porcelain tile, European hardware, designer light fixtures, swimming pool with spa, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen complete the unparalleled package of amenities.
