CONSTRUCTION FROM ABOVE: FIVE VIEWS, FIVE PROJECTS

A View Towards the Atlantic

In the town of Adeje in Tenerife, Desarrolla's teams are constructing the first phase of Villa Insigne, a spectacular complex of single-family homes with views of the Atlantic. Stemming from a contemporary architectural design, the villas in this initial phase exemplify the nearby ocean's presence through the expansive glass facades.

Each property is deconstructed into a composition of white volumes and overhanging roofs that also take care of the transitions between outdoor and indoor spaces.

From the air, the unique character of the beautiful real estate development is unmistakably appreciated, as well as the impressive proximity of the Atlantic.

Casa du Costa, an embodiment of existentialism

The sea is also a central protagonist of Casa du Costa, a spectacular residence that our teams have built in Sitges, at the foot of the Mediterranean. The property is pure space, light, and order, that kind of alchemy that every human being needs to live, in the words of the brilliant Le Corbusier.

The owners and developers of this project are declared admirers of the French architect of Swiss origin. The residence indeed draws from his proposals and ideas to create a building that is exemplary in space management and the optimization of views.

From above, the project appears rationalist, coherent… Simply grandiose.

The Castle of Philip II

If enjoying the construction from above is a pleasure when it comes to single-family homes, this experience is exponentially magnified in the case of historical heritage. A few months ago, the teams at Desarrolla Obras y Servicios completed the rehabilitation of the Castillo de San Felipe, in Ferrol, an imposing fortress built in the mid-16th century by Philip II.

The project has enabled the restoration of the fortress's stone roofs, a task of immense importance as the complex was experiencing leaks that were damaging the historical ensemble. The intervention has restored the castle to its full splendor, setting the stage for expanding its uses, a societal demand that from now on can be realized.

From a bird's-eye view, one can appreciate the scale of a fortress that is a true symbol of the Ferrol estuary.

Yesterday, today, forever...

Merging the past and present to create a new future is an exercise as delicate as it is fascinating. This was the fundamental premise of a single-family home we built in Ourense. The project aimed to respect the entire architectural legacy of traditional construction by blending it with cutting-edge elements, a combination that has yielded an exquisite outcome.

The use of stone and wood, so iconic of Galician architecture, dominates the property's design. Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living room… Every detail in the home is meticulously crafted to create a strong identity that astonishes visitors once inside. This is also true when enjoying the well-tended outdoor spaces, where that blend of new and old, tradition and future, reinforces the project's aesthetic.

From above, the single-family home is pure harmony. The magnetic coherence of things well done…

In the warmth of the Costa del Sol

To conclude this brief visual exercise that brings us closer to construction from an aerial perspective, we have selected two single-family homes in Marbella. The project is striking from a distance due to its meticulous treatment of spaces. Its open design creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor areas.

The two villas leverage the warmth of the Malaga climate to shape terraces designed for family and friends to enjoy. The homes feature a comprehensive range of amenities, leaving nothing to be desired, with a highlight on the spacious outdoor areas created on different levels, all intended to enhance that same path.

From above, the interplay of volumes and terraces allows one to fully appreciate the visual and functional potency of this project.

Ultimately, five projects and five perspectives. Each with its unique features, yet also sharing many commonalities. The meticulous selection of materials and finishes, the passion for well-executed work... Values that have been part of Desarrolla Obras y Servicios' DNA for over a decade.
