The Purism of DOMO By Minimum Arquitectura

Minimum Arquitectura designed this purist masterpiece that celebrates the blue skies of the mediterranean.

Huge volumes of architectonic space are carved out by generous white ‘air frames’.

Chunky white blocks frame the sky above a cube-shaped courtyard.

Another plant-filled courtyard, recessed into the building, can be partitioned off by a sliding glass wall when it rains.

Black slate flooring throughout has a thermal sink effect; soaking up the heat of the sun by day, and releasing it to warm the house by night.

One large frame encases both exterior and interior rooms.

In the spacing of the columns, the entrance – from the back – is reminiscent of once symmetrical Roman ruins that can be found in the region.

A sublimely simple bath set into the floor is the very image of total relaxation.

Behind the bath, a crisply contrasting white-clad bed is raised on a wooden platform that wraps upwards to create the headboard.

Deep sinks are encased in a giant white slab in the minimalist bathroom.

Light enters both sides of the long and narrow building.

Al fresco dining is a breeze on its sheltered terraces.

Minimum Arquitectura was involved in designing Ibiza’s equally gorgeous Dupli Dos House.

Like that one, this is absolutely a house designed simply for the good life.
