Cala Llonga 387

Location: Mahón, España
Project: 2021

The Cala Llonga development, located next to Mahón port, is one of Menorca’s most exclusive residential areas. With over 360 homes in a privileged setting, this area stands out for its panoramic sea views, southwest orientation, and proximity to both Mahón town center and some of the island’s most renowned beaches, such as Es Grau and Cala Mesquida.

Into this Mediterranean landscape sits Cala Llonga 387, a detached house combines contemporary architecture, natural light, and a connection with the natural surroundings.

Architecture Integrated into Menodesigned by Angulo Arquitectura that rca’s Topography

The house sits on a 618 m² plot and has a constructed area of ​​195 m² distributed over two floors.

The design takes advantage of the natural slope of the land to organically integrate with the landscape and enhance the views of the port and the surrounding natural environment. The orientation of the house has been carefully studied to maximize natural light throughout the day and create open, warm, and comfortable spaces.

The architectural composition is based on a clean, minimalist geometry that is enriched by subtle volumetric shifts, adding dynamism and a unique character to the whole.

Contemporary Design and Open Spaces

One of the project’s most distinctive features is the rotated volume of the kitchen, an architectural gesture that creates a private terrace connected to the master bedroom and fosters diverse visual relationships between the interior, exterior, and landscape.

The main entrance is achieved by voiding the corner of the volume, creating a sheltered and elegant entryway that reinforces the building’s sense of lightness.

The house embraces contemporary architecture with clean lines, large glazed surfaces, and open spaces that promote visual continuity between the interior and exterior.

Natural Light and Connection to the Landscape

The white facade and large windows enhance the Mediterranean light and allow the house to change its appearance throughout the day depending on the sun’s angle.

The sliding glass doors and horizontal and vertical openings create a constant connection with the outdoors, opening the architecture to the landscape and allowing views to be enjoyed from virtually every room.

The result is a luminous, serene home deeply connected to the natural environment of Menorca.

Outdoor spaces designed to enjoy the Mediterranean

The lower level opens onto an outdoor area conceived as a natural extension of the house.

The straight-lined swimming pool, relaxation areas, and native vegetation create a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere where architecture and landscape coexist in harmony.

The landscaping is deliberately understated to respect the natural character of the plot and reinforce the integration of the house within the Mediterranean environment.

Minimalism, functionality, and Mediterranean architecture

Cala Llonga 387 embraces minimalist and functional architecture, where each space responds to a specific need and every design decision seeks to enhance the living experience.

The absence of superfluous elements, the purity of the forms, and the constant connection with light and the landscape define a contemporary home designed to enjoy the climate, tranquility, and essence of Menorca.

The corner is emptied to resolve the entrance, cleanly and emphatically
