Can Lis, Mediterranean cliffside residence in Santanyí, Spain.
The house features interconnected pavilions built with pink stone from local quarries, creating separate spaces for cooking, living, and sleeping areas.
Danish architect Jørn Utzon designed and constructed Can Lis between 1971 and 1973, following his work on the Sydney Opera House.
The structure demonstrates Mediterranean architectural principles through its use of natural materials, spatial arrangement, and integration with the coastal environment.
The house sits on a platform overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, with deeply recessed windows that frame the views while protecting the interior from direct sunlight.
The interior incorporates crescent moon shapes throughout its design, referencing the former street name Media Luna where the house stands.
