Behind the Modest Facade: A Stunning Family Home on Limited Land That Redefines Privacy

In this video, we reveal the secrets behind a family home in Ciutadella, Menorca, designed by Estudi E. Torres Pujol. At first glance, the house may seem like just another garage, thanks to its unassuming facade featuring a standard garage door and a curious round hole. But behind this minimalist exterior lies a stunning 265-square-meter family home that challenges traditional architectural expectations.

The design cleverly blurs the lines between function and form, with the facade intentionally offering little to no hint of what’s inside. The mysterious exterior sets the stage for a surprising and thoughtful interior, carefully crafted to provide both privacy and openness in a unique urban context.

Join us as we explore how the architects transformed a simple, everyday space into a modern family home, blending innovation with practicality. This hidden gem on Menorca is a perfect example of how architecture can surprise and inspire with its creative use of space and materials.
