_project Name: Villa Los Canales

_location: Marbella, Spain

_type: Contemporary Villa

_project type: Design & Build

_brief: A landmark, contemporary villa.

_considerations: To take advantage of superlative 360º views.

_response: A 500m2 luxury villa. A 60 metre drive leads to the front of the villa. Steps bordered by a ‘water canal’ feature lead to the glass-fronted entrance. The ‘water canal’ follows the entire rear contour of the villa and at one point passes under a glass wall and through the entrance hall, contextualising interior with exterior.

The open-plan living areas are defined by a central cube with fireplace. This level also comprises the kitchen, breakfast area, bar, study/TV room and the dining room, a glazed cube which partly ‘floats’ above the swimming pool at which point the floor is also glazed. A semi-circular staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing with seating area opening out to a balcony. From here a bridge leads to the master suite situated in its own wing

Mostly-glazed walls afford the master bedroom panoramic views and the entire wall behind the double whirlpool bath is also glazed. The wrap-around balcony is cantilevered over the swimming pool. Three further bedroom suites with balconies are in the opposite wing on this level.

Numerous additional features also include concealed solar and photovoltaic panels to heat water and provide electricity.
