Ensamble – Ca’n Terra
Ca’n Terra, designed by Ensamble Studio, is the transformation of a former Mares stone quarry in Menorca into a livable space. Rather than building anew, the architects treated the quarry as a found space—surveyed with 3D scanning technology and reinterpreted through careful observation.
The existing void, shaped by past industrial use, is preserved and adapted to become a place of contemplation and shelter. This approach reverses the traditional architectural process: instead of imposing form, it reveals and refines what already exists. Ca’n Terra is a quiet dialogue between nature, technology, and human presence, where the quarry becomes a home through reinterpretation rather than intervention.
