From the air, the intense blue of the Mediterranean surrounds a mosaic of green and brown plots bounded by stone walls. It is the island of Menorca. On land, an almost flat topography welcomes the wind and explains the need for these walls that divide the landscape and in which livestock take refuge.

In the landscape we also find traces of their history, remains of constructions that take us back to past times and invite us to dream of a new life for them.

Architecture responds to its surroundings; it would not make sense without the surrounding landscape. Over time, nature and architecture begin to become one.
