LUXURY RENOVATION PROJECT IN THE GOLDEN MILE, MARBELLA
This comprehensive turnkey renovation project showcases the pinnacle of contemporary coastal living, crafted to the highest architectural standards. Beginning its extensive transformation in 2022 and reaching full completion in 2023, the project involved a full spatial re‑engineering of the property. As leading Marbella interior designers, the team at ROMA Arquitectura Studio transformed a traditionally segmented house into a fluid, light‑filled sanctuary. Every room was meticulously reconfigured throughout this period to achieve perfect structural harmony, blending bespoke craftsmanship with world‑class furniture brands to establish a new benchmark for luxury interiors on Marbella’s Golden Mile.
LIVING AREAS
The ground‑floor layout was completely opened up to introduce a fluid, minimalist concept in which spaces flow effortlessly into one another. The living and dining areas are visually anchored by an imposing, custom‑crafted black‑marble fireplace and multimedia wall, enriched with natural golden veining. To preserve an uninterrupted flow of light while defining the architecture, a bespoke black‑metal geometric screen separates the dining area from the staircase. Premium large‑format marble flooring runs seamlessly throughout, enhancing the sense of continuity and refinement. The space is curated with a two‑tone leather sectional sofa, a matching geometric marble coffee table and authentic black‑leather Barcelona chairs, reflecting the signature aesthetic of ROMA ARQUITECTURA, renowned Marbella interior designers.
KITCHEN
Designed as an elegant culinary hub, the kitchen achieves complete aesthetic integration through floor‑to‑ceiling handleless cabinetry finished in sleek, high‑gloss light‑grey lacquer. A monumental central island, fully clad in rich black marble with subtle gold under‑lighting, serves as both a preparation surface and an informal breakfast bar, accompanied by low‑profile leather barstools. State‑of‑the‑art appliances are discreetly embedded within the minimalist backdrop. The premium large‑format marble flooring enhances the room’s bright, polished character, while a glass‑fronted, climate‑controlled wine cellar stands softly backlit at the edge of the space, elevating the overall spatial experience.
BEDROOMS
The private quarters on the upper floor have been reimagined as premium sanctuaries dedicated to rest and relaxation, unified by elegant large‑format marble flooring that lends a sense of luxury to every step. In the primary suite, a grand central bed upholstered in dark leather is set against a textured feature wall with a polished‑concrete finish. Custom wooden bedside tables sit symmetrically beneath floor‑to‑ceiling mirrors that amplify the sense of space, complemented by sleek tubular pendant lights. A Le Corbusier LC4 chaise longue in black leather forms a refined reading corner by the window. The secondary guest bedroom mirrors this sophisticated warmth with a vertical timber‑slatted feature wall, floating walnut cabinetry and minimalist suspended lighting.
BATHROOMS
Designed with the precision of a private luxury wellness space, the en‑suite bathrooms prioritise geometric purity and premium materials. Dramatic book‑matched Nero Marquina marble creates a striking dark backdrop with crisp white veining, beautifully contrasted by clean white porcelain and the continuous large‑format marble flooring. Floating linear vanities, under‑cabinet ambient LED lighting, recessed matte‑black fixtures and frameless glass walk‑in showers work together to eliminate visual clutter, emphasising pure architectural lines.
SIGNATURE SPACES
A defining feature of this high‑end renovation is the transformation of the property’s deep basement into a masterfully engineered private cinema. The perimeter is clad in flush, sound‑absorbing acoustic panelling in muted anthracite grey, with all access doors concealed filomuro. A massive ultra‑high‑definition projector screen is set within a subtle backlit LED recess, floating above a low‑profile white media console that discreetly conceals high‑fidelity audio equipment. Departing from the marble used across the main floors, this room transitions to plush leather seating and deep, soft carpets to create an intimate, unparalleled home‑theatre experience.
OUTDOORS
The renovation dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, extending the home onto a spectacular covered terrace designed for year‑round Mediterranean living. The former heavy structure was replaced with a contemporary pergola system combining charcoal‑stained timber beams with automated neutral fabrics. The outdoor lounge features low‑slung neutral modular sofas, terracotta planters with architectural cacti and a formal dining table. Along the white perimeter wall sits a custom minimalist outdoor kitchen with stone countertops and a premium integrated stainless‑steel gas barbecue, all set above durable outdoor tiling that connects seamlessly with the marble flooring inside the villa.
SMART FEATURES
Behind the clean lines and textured finishes lies an invisible technological framework ensuring effortless modern comfort throughout the property. Developed by ROMA Arquitectura Studio, premium Marbella interior designers, to demonstrate how contemporary technology can be seamlessly integrated into luxury interiors, the villa features fully integrated home automation for turnkey digital control of all systems from any device. This includes advanced multi‑zone climate control with hidden ducted air conditioning and a seamless underfloor heating system installed precisely beneath the large‑format marble flooring across both levels. For complete peace of mind, high‑end video surveillance and advanced security protocols are discreetly incorporated into the architecture, while an invisible multi‑room audio system delivers crystal‑clear ambient sound across every indoor and outdoor zone.
