A cluster of white-plaster volumes steps down a hillside to frame views of the Mediterranean Sea at Bundle House, a villa in Menorca by architecture practice Nomo Studio.
In response to a sloping, awkwardly-shaped site, Nomo Studio divided the home into nine distinct blocks that are organised to create small pockets of outdoor space and a large terrace.
The volumes are united by their minimalist exteriors and highly textured interiors, which use a palette of pale plaster, masonry and ceramics to draw on the traditional architecture of the Balearic Islands.

"Initially challenged by the site's oblique orientation towards the sea, we strategically crafted open corners that unveil breathtaking sunset vistas, transforming initial difficulties into design opportunities," explained Nomo Studio. "To harmonise with the natural surroundings, the design strategy involved subdividing the extensive program into nine rectangular volumes of varying heights, artfully stepping down the slope and weaving around majestic trees," it added.
Bundle House's nine volumes are designed with an entirely glazed base, creating a layering of views that capture both the sea and the home's courtyards and pool.
