WE BUILD, YOU DESIGN

We all dream of having the perfect house – the ultimate expression of our ideal design, layout, features and lifestyle. The problem is that until now there were only two options: to buy land and oversee the design and construction yourself, or take a ready to move into off-the-shelf new property. But what if you could merge

the two? WORDS MICHEL CRUZ PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF OCEAN VIEW

Most people buying property on the Costa del Sol today look for a newly built modern home. The bulk of buyers opt for a stylish new ready-made property, but invariably make concessions to what would have been their ideal home in Marbella.

It is with this age-old conundrum in mind that experienced German developer Sascha Falk and General Manager Tony Parrado set out to develop a new concept. “One of the prime factors in property development is location, and when we found an ideal setting for a quality project we knew that we wanted to create something special here – something that is not only stylish, modern and highend but also offers buyers a new alternative,” says Sascha Falk. ›

The result is an innovative approach to designing and constructing homes that allows for a greater degree of flexibility than hitherto has been possible. Normally, a project is defined early on in terms of its content, architectural design and features, and since this also includes layout and a large measure of finishing and detailing, the end product is traditionally a fait accompli with little room for change.

In recent years there has been a marked transition to offering buyers greater flexibility and choice when it comes to the materials, finishing and also details of their new property, and this has come to be known as ‘personalising’ your new off-plan home. The earlier in the construction process you buy, the more freedom of movement you have, but even though great strides have been made the concept still falls short of the creative flexibility many homebuyers yearn for.

CREATE YOUR OWN NEW HOME

With the development and construction experience that both Sascha Falk and Tony Parrado bring to the table, a further evolution of this trend was developed that allows the buyer an unprecedented level of freedom to create their own new property – giving them every opportunity to make it their very personal and unique dream home.

Having gone out of their way to design a prime gated community of 44 sea view apartments where even the ‘standard’ offering is eyecatchingly refreshing and refined, the team behind Ocean View prepared the canvas for something truly exceptional – a way of life that begins as the signature entrance gates glide open and you enter. Tasteful design, proportioning and the use of quality stone to complement the light-toned architecture are just the beginning of a sense of arrival that’s hard to beat. ›

The entrance to each block and its private garage has the look and feel not of a conventional residential complex on the Costa del Sol but instead resembles arriving at a five-star deluxe hotel, complete with beautiful materials and glass lobby entrances. The same is true of the garages themselves and the lifts up to the apartments that naturally reflect this level of sophistication in their design, space and finishing.

Sascha and Tony have extended this sense of uniqueness to the sourcing of customdesigned kitchens, bathroom finishes and furnishing solutions that are exclusive yet non-standard highend choices. “This is what we mean with even our ‘standard’ offering being far from standard,” says Tony, “and on top of this we provide a scope of personal adaptation that introduces a new level of made-tomeasure.”

MODERN, MADE TO YOUR SPECIFICATIONS

In other words, buyers at Ocean View have a unique extent of control over their choice of kitchen, bathroom, materials, detailing and finishing touches, as well as a high degree of flexibility when it comes to specifications and interior distribution. “What’s more, it is not really dependent upon the stage of construction at which you buy, as we make personalisation of your property a reality right up to the final moment.”

Starting from a rich canvas of standard options, the client has the choice to take the detailing, finishing and decoration of their new property at Ocean View more or less in the direction they wish. The result is a perfectly bespoke home that is modern, newly-built and ready to move into, as well as uniquely yours.

As Tony says, “The only thing you will have in common with your neighbours is the stunning view across protected nature to the coastline only minutes away.”
