A 360-square-metre modern minimalist villa in Spain, designed by local architecture firm Nomo Studio. Patio House is located on a gentle slope on Coves Noves, a small urbanized area on the northeastern coast of the Spanish island of Minorca. There is a beautiful view of the Mediterranean, but unfortunately there is also a 10-storey hotel on the horizon. This is an ancient relic from a time when landscape fusion meant less. The design team decided to deliberately steer the eye in a specific direction. As a result, the house's solid glass facade frames the original view to the sea, forest and garden, while concealing the large hotel building and isolating itself from its neighbours. The villa's hilltop location gives it extraordinary views, yet it also exposes strong winds from the north.
