Malaga Hills Spain
The project is located in a residential area currently under development and is conceived as more than a housing scheme: it is designed to create a community. The architectural concept focuses on fostering interaction between residents while maintaining a careful balance between shared spaces and individual privacy, allowing the project to adapt to different lifestyles and moments of use.
The relationship between interior and exterior is a key principle. The homes extend towards the landscape, with terraces and outdoor areas becoming natural continuations of the living spaces. The overall development is envisioned as an oasis—a place of wellbeing where architecture and nature come together to create a calm and protected residential environment.
The orthogonal plot, with a prominent change in level, is organized through a series of terraced platforms that form a stepped landscape integrated into the terrain. These terraced platforms also incorporate shared community spaces connected to outdoor areas.

Perimeter walls define the landscaping and serve a dual role: they enable the dwellings to open to the exterior while also creating green, pedestrian pathways that reinforce community life and prioritize people over cars.
A modular system allows for multiple configurations, ensuring flexibility, adaptability and a human centered architectural approach. Prefabrication ensures that the projects meet the highest possible sustainability standards.
