Mediterranean and Croatian architectural designs showcase luxury villas

Recent architectural highlights showcase high-end residential designs in the Mediterranean and Croatia. In Menorca, the Casa de Pueblo serves as a model for smart renovation. Located in Llucmaçanes, the 270-square-meter house preserves traditional island architecture while integrating modern comforts. The property features five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, terracotta and vintage tiles, and minimalist furniture. Its design emphasizes a connection between indoor and outdoor living, centered around a 30-square-meter emerald green mosaic pool and a lush courtyard.

In Croatia, the Hypercubus villa, designed by studio Ante Murales, offers a contemporary alternative to the traditional architecture of the Opatija region. Situated between Opatija and Volosko, the residence is composed of several interconnected volumes inspired by Salvador Dalí’s painting 'Corpus Hypercubus'. The structure utilizes a stone ground floor contrasted with a sculptural upper level, designed to provide privacy and maximize views of the Kvarner Gulf. The layout is optimized to follow the sun throughout the day, featuring a pool that visually merges with the sea horizon.
