Textual content description supplied by the architects. It’s not a storage! A standard storage door accompanied within the composition by a spherical gap is what we discover on the primary façade and the reality is that it doesn’t make clear in any respect how the constructing works, nor what’s its use or program. The truth is that behind the door there’s a household home between get together partitions positioned in Ciutadella, on the island of Menorca.
