_project Name: Villa Las Olas

_location: Costa del Sol, Spain

_type: Modern Villa

_project type: Design & Build

_brief: An iconic, luxury villa.

_considerations: To incorporate sustainable energy features.

_response: Situated within an exclusive private development of just 28 individual villas near Estepona, Las Olas sits in a commanding position with extensive glazing affording spectacular panoramic views.

The unique roofline of the hill-top villa caps an L-shaped series of cubes, which define the living spaces and incorporate solar panels. Electricity-generating photovoltaic panels are used as shaded canopies over the glazing. Pivoting decorative wood panels provide adjustable shade to the outside dining and kitchen area. The villa is surrounded by various terraces and balconies.

The impressive entrance to Las Olas is via a cube 'floating on a water bed', which leads into a double-height atrium, from where the open-plan living area is accessed. In addition the ground and basement floors comprise a kitchen, media room, games room, guest apartment and plant room. A cantilevered staircase leads to the first floor with three en-suite bedrooms.

A modern take on the galleried landing leads you across a bridge to an impressive master suite with a wraparound cantilevered terrace.
