Spanish architecture studio Marià Castelló has built a three-volume home with ceramic vaulted ceilings on the Mediterranean island of Formentera.
Located on an agricultural plot in a rural area of Formentera ? one of the Balearic Islands ? Es Pou is a single-storey two-bedroom home.

Built on the western side of the site, the south-facing home was positioned alongside a cluster of trees that shades the building.
Marià Castelló split the striking home into three white-rectangular volumes that each contain one of the building's functions.
"The proposal is divided into three volumes, which order the program while providing it with a smaller grain and in accordance with the scale of the landscape," Marià Castelló told Dezeen. The first volume contains an open-air living space
The first volume, which is the smallest of the three, contains a sheltered porch that acts as a transitional space between the interior and exterior.
The second volume contains an open-plan living space, while the third houses the bedrooms.
