| Building a Villa on Costa del Sol |
| Phase 1 The Architects artist impression in the designing of the villa on the Costa del Sol |
Before designing your Villa in Spain be sure to think practicality of the design before you dedicate
your savings/finance to the building of the villa in Spain.
THINK - how many bedrooms do you really need? What do you really want in your dream home in Spain
i.e large hall ? Viewing terrace ? Bedroom on ground floor ?
Take the above design as an example for instance, The Architect/owners wanted a large hall which
connected straight across to a rear terrace, the hall benefiting from high ceiling (good for dispersion
of heat) and large window vith view straight through to the pool. To the right of this hall they placed a
bedroom and a cloakroom.. Bedroom on ground floor was essential for a member of the family who
wasnt keen on stairs. On the left wing lies the Lounge /Dining area with kitchen to rear. The kitchen
having access to rear terrace too, being very practical for access to outside pool /breakfast area. Also
note, in Spain particularly the Costa del Sol there are many very hot days in summer for this reason
the Architect has placed and overhanging terrace over the South facing Lounge windows. In this way,
at the peak of the Summer no direct sunlight will enter into the lounge saving costs on cooling.
Additionally in the winter the lower postion of Sun from East to West will shine into the living area,
again saving costs on heating.
