The first five chosen homes are located between the sea and the mountains, this allows them to enjoy incredible views of the two areas, as well as an exquisite tranquility, since they are usually isolated from everything else. The next five are quite close, or on the coast itself, a few meters from the sea.
Even though all of the above is quite appealing, we must also remember that the construction of these buildings must be in a way that respects the natural environment, since in certain areas, it is being built closer to the coast in an uncontrolled manner, which that causes a great impact on the ecosystems of the place.

Despite the excellent views over the Mediterranean Sea that the Casa Patio de Nomo Studio has had to deal with the visualization of a 10 story hotel that spoiled the landscape of the area, which caused the views of the house to be redirected, without, however, you can still enjoy incredible views of the sea, the forest and the mountains.
The facade projected by Nomo Studio has great influences from the architecture of the fishermen in the area, this can be seen in its whitewashed walls and navy blue shutters. White and pastel colours predominate, which together with the large windows, and the high ceilings of different slopes, give great luminosity to the interior.
The large extension of the Casa Puente plot, projected by Nomo Studio, allows the building to be arranged horizontally, in this way you can get the best views of the place. The building is made up of a series of square and pentagonal planes that interpenetrate each other since it was concluded that dividing the program was the best way to deal with its magnitude.
The facades correspond to the traditional ones of Menorca, with a whitewashed exterior finish and high and sloping ceilings. Regarding the interior, it was intended to be a contrast with the exterior, for this, the ceilings were painted pastel green, and interior furniture made of birch wood was chosen.

The Frame House projected by Nomo Studio possibly has one of the best views of the houses that we expose, the house is located in the Coves Noves urbanization, to prevent the house located in front from spoiling the views, the study decided to position it in the area highest part of the plot, while the entrance is located in the lowest area. Thus, on the upper floor, all daytime activity will take place, while on the ground floor the night activity will take place.
The large opening of the facade and the opacity of the walls make it up to frame the incredible views of the place, this is enhanced by the inclination of the roof, with this Nomo Studio seeks to create a feeling of even more connection with the outside.

Designed by Jørn Utzon himself as a personal home, Casa Can Lis is one of the most important houses of the 20th century. The project is made up of four buildings, in each of them a part of the global program will be developed, on the one hand, we will have the bedrooms, on the other the living room and finally the kitchen-dining room.
What makes this house so special is the Jørn Utzon's reinterpretation of the popular construction methods of the area, for which he used native materials such as marés sandstone, arsenic santanyi and pine wood.
Between 2011 and 2012, the house was restored and transformed into a residence for contemporary artists by the architect Lise Juel.
The Naila House designed by BAAQ located on the Pacific coast is composed of four high-rise volumes with a sloping roof that defines a cross-shaped patio, in which the pool is located, this arrangement allows greater integration between the beach and building. It is located on a public beach without any type of fence or fence that separates it from the outside, which makes it look more integrated with the landscape.
The project made by BAAQ tries to be respectful of the natural environment, for this it uses typical materials of the architecture of the place, such as palm bone, which is a material used for the construction of beach huts.

The Houses on the Estoril beach projected by José Adrião Arquitectos, have a magnificent location since they are quite close to both the centre and the beach. The project consists of 18 single-family houses, which have between two or three bedrooms and a patio.
The finish of the project is simple, with concrete pavement, as well as white walls and ceilings, on the main façade the sky blue doors and square-shaped façade openings stand out. The architects intended to transport the tenant to the concept of a quiet life in a beach house while enjoying privileged views.
The House in Blue Bay designed by Felipe Assadi, Francisca Pulido, was born to adapt in an original way to the slope on which it is located. Inside we find a more or less conventional space, in which the views are framed by the openings made in the exterior facade.
The grayish color of the concrete and the shape of the openings of the exterior facade frame the views of the place, creating the feeling that the viewer is in front of a painting, in which the best views of the place are found. But without a doubt what is most surprising about the project is how the architect Felipe Assadi challenges the terrain and adapts the house to it.
