ALTAMIRA IN MARBELLA
The land on which we operate has an area of 13,000 M².
The built area is 9,000 M² above ground and 2,200 M² in the basement for parking and storage.
The project consists of 2 blocks, a total of 56 apartments and a pool area.
The buildings are placed on top of a hill, taking advantage of the views to the river and the golf course. Its facades conquer the outside with a clever alternation of volumes, recesses, overhangs and chamfers, with spacious and private terraces. All powered by a friendly and simple color range.
The plastic expression in architecture is an unavoidable task for professionals which avoid monotony and are committed to creativity. If, moreover, this representation is the result of a reflection on models close to the tradition, accommodating types and actual materials. Altamira is certainty a refelexion of these characters and a representation of the indigenous.
