Full renovation of golf villas and beach houses in Sotogrande with continuous site supervision from our Málaga Studio. A sober client, focused on real use and on keeping the asset for decades.
Sotogrande does not buy what Marbella buys. It is a predominantly British, family-oriented market, with houses built between the 1970s and 2000s that need upgraded services, insulation and layout more than spectacle.
We deliver the whole house — design, procurement, site supervision and dressing — with durability against salt air and ten-year maintenance cost in mind, not handover photography.
Most commissions are renovations of existing homes rather than new build. These are the points that define scope.
Excellent plots and orientation, but compartmentalised layouts, poor insulation and exhausted services. Full renovation is almost always the sound option.
Contemporary developer villas with standard finishes, where the brief is to raise the level: bespoke joinery, architectural lighting and equipment.
Limited areas with damp and salt exposure; the value lies in solving storage, bathrooms and climate control without losing ceiling height.
Direct sea exposure: hardware, external joinery and textiles require marine-grade specification without exception.
Replacing external joinery, upgrading insulation and adding solar control cuts cooling loads and eliminates condensation, the recurring problem in the area.
AISI 316 stainless steel, brass, teak and marine-grade lacquered aluminium; we avoid hardware and profiles that degrade in two seasons.
Remote-control home automation, dehumidification, irrigation and programmable blinds for houses that stay closed for months.
Porch, summer kitchen, pool and shaded areas designed with the same detail as the interior, because that is where life happens nine months a year.
Project manager from the Málaga Studio with weekly site visits throughout construction.
Contractors and trades vetted across Campo de Gibraltar and the western Costa del Sol, experienced with estates that have their own internal rules.
Coordination with the Sotogrande urban conservation entity for permits, access and working hours.
Service in Spanish, English and French, with regular documented reporting for non-resident owners.

Between €1,800 and €2,600 per sqm of construction at high-end level and from €3,500 per sqm at ultra level. A 500 sqm villa typically runs between €900,000 and €1,750,000 of construction, plus fees and furniture.
In Sotogrande almost always: the plot and location are irreplaceable and full renovation usually costs less than an equivalent new villa, with the advantage of keeping mature trees and the existing siting.
Yes. Beyond the municipal licence in San Roque, the urban conservation entity regulates access, hours and site conditions. We handle and coordinate that as part of the commission.
That is the most common case. We send regular photographic and progress reporting, manage valuations against work executed and take agreed decisions by video call.
