Bespoke villas on the Costa del Sol
Architecture studio based in Estepona. We design and manage the construction of private villas in Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís and across the Costa del Sol.
One architect for the whole project, not just the drawings
Bóveda Arquitectura is an architecture studio based in Estepona with more than twenty years designing high-end residential projects in the province of Málaga. We work on your plot — or help you assess a plot before you buy it — then draft the planning and construction documentation, obtain the building licence and run the site until handover.
Our typical commission is a detached villa of 300 to 900 m² in Marbella, Estepona or Benahavís, for a client who lives outside Spain for much of the year and needs someone on the ground controlling budget, programme and quality.
What we do
Four commissions we handle end to end.
Luxury villa design
Full design of a one-off detached house, from the plot study to construction details. Bespoke work, never a catalogue type.
Site supervision and cost control
Construction management, coordination with the quantity surveyor and tender comparison. Monthly valuations and tracking of deviations against budget.
Licences and planning law
Buildability, footprint and setback analysis under the municipal planning code, plus preparation and follow-up of the major works licence.
Bioclimatic architecture
Orientation, thermal mass, solar shading and a high-performance envelope to cut demand before adding any equipment. Energy certification and full building-code compliance.
Projects
A selection of villas built on the Costa del Sol.
How we work
From the first meeting to handover, with a single point of contact throughout.
- 01
Plot visit and feasibility
We study topography, orientation, views, access and planning parameters. This tells you what can actually be built and roughly what it will cost.
- 02
Concept design
Massing proposal, schedule of areas and images. This is the moment to change things: a change here costs an afternoon, on site it costs weeks.
- 03
Planning documentation and licence
Documentation for professional-body approval and submission of the major works licence application to the town hall.
- 04
Construction documentation
Structure, services, specification and bills of quantities. This is the package contractors price.
- 05
Construction management
Regular site visits, problem solving, monthly valuations and control of programme and budget through to completion certificate and first occupation licence.
Where we work
We know the ordinances and the real processing times of every town hall in the Marbella–Estepona–Benahavís triangle.
