Contemporary House in Marbella
In a privileged corner of the Costa del Sol and surrounded by kilometres of Mediterranean sandy beach, villas and golf courses you will find this residence of geometric shapes and contemporary style that we had the opportunity to decorate a few months ago. The owners were looking for a house that reflected their love for art, collectibles and contemporary lines.
The entrance of the house is flanked by two geometrically shaped steel planters that mix their contemporary lines with those of the residence.
In the hall we find a console table made of steel with a glass top that combines perfectly with the contemporary staircase topped with a steel handrail. The graphic work on the walls are methacrylate photographs of some of the owners' favourite beaches and the glass pieces are handcrafted by the Guadarte glass factory..
The dining room is divided into two spaces that maintain their functionality and personality without invading itselves and that respect the style and materials used by the architectural studio in the project..
The dining table is decorated with a collection of bottles from the 70 's that the owner bought in El Rastro in Madrid and the carved wooden cup is a piece that they bought at an antiques dealer in Antwerp.
The dining table is made of oak and steel, It is part of the Guardarte Contemporary Furniture Collection and contrasts with the pair of black glazed ceramic mirrors.
A large chaise longue sofa of over 3 metres upholstered with natural linen fibers is the center of the living room. This fabric provides freshness and comfort due to its softness and gives a very natural appearance that recalls the simple and elegant lifestyle of the Costa del Sol..
The owners are lovers of photography and decoration, and they have managed to combine their hobbies with the most up to date trends that we find in textile manufacturers.
The marble sculpture is a piece acquired at the Paris Flea Market and reflects the couple's love for art.. They wanted some corners of the house to function as a museum where they could display some of the pieces from their personal collection.
A large black mirror flanked by crystal obelisks, gives access to the corridor that leads to the other rooms of the house.
In the office we find the desk with a glass top on which is the collection of magazines from the 70. 's. Metal mesh chairs combine design and craftsmanship. Everything from the Ivory Collection of Guardarte.
The main room is furnished with a tufted headboard upholstered in metallic eco leather, that combines with the metallic elements used in the decoration.
The contemporary style "Nube" colour lacquered bedside tables serve as a platform for the original antique lamps that the owners use as a bedside table lamp..
Every corner of this house is a small museum of contemporary art and collectibles, so that the geometric and modern lines of the house are balanced with the charm of each of these pieces.
The reading chair located in front of the bedroom window, is upholstered in an aubergine brocade that contrasts with the thick linen curtains that close the room. The stone obelisk, It is an original piece acquired in a London antique dealer.
From the terrace you can enjoy the pleasant climate of the Costa del Sol and the panoramic views of the landscape , which at certain times of the day offers spectacular images.
To decorate the pool, ceramic pieces glazed in shades of blue and turquoise have been used. The iron chair and the stone side table are part of the Guadarte Outdoor Collection.
