About House in Menorca
Traditional and Modern Fusion in Balearic Islands’ Architecture
The traditional construction of the Balearic Islands meets modern innovation in this inHAUS prefabricated home in Menorca. The Benidorm model, featuring a white monolayer façade, seamlessly integrates into the island’s natural landscape and architecture.
Simplicity and Serenity in Design
Clean lines and a deceptive simplicity in form create an atmosphere of tranquil peace. A beautiful garden filled with native vegetation surrounds the terrace and pool, adding to the allure of this paradise nestled within the small Gimnesias islands, part of the Balearic archipelago along with the Pitiusas.
Incorporating Over 30 Centuries of Cultural Heritage
The inHAUS Benidorm model adapts to this prefabricated house in Menorca, melding over 30 centuries of cultural influences, from the Talayotic tradition to modernity, and encompassing Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, and Arabs. This modular home enriches the cultural heritage of Menorca by introducing an industrialized offsite manufacturing system, built in just 5 months.
Environmentally Conscious Prefabricated Homes in Menorca
The Benidorm model from the inHAUS 111 Collection embodies the Balearic idiosyncrasy with its white facades, outer stone perimeter, and full integration with native flora. This prefabricated home in Menorca, featuring wood-finish carpentry details, exists in harmony with the island, a UNESCO biosphere natural reserve.
Efficient and Sustainable Construction
The EMOHA industrialized system not only addresses the environmental requirements of Menorca but also tackles the scarcity of materials and water resources on the island, which impacts traditional construction. Given the lack of labor, inHAUS effectively responds with a construction efficiency achieved in just 5 months.
Functional and Private Living Spaces
This Menorca villa thoughtfully combines separate day and night areas on a single floor. The four bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, offer total privacy, while the expansive kitchen-living-dining room area provides stunning views of the sea, terrace, and pool. The model’s design and generous visuals allow for natural light and space to flow effortlessly.
