WELCOME As the property market starts to show steady growth new developments are popping up all over, not just along the Costa del Sol but as far as Costa Blanca and the islands. A lot of concern was raised about Brexit but despite the decision for the UK to leave the Eurozone the cranes have returned and whilst they may blight our vista their presence is very much welcomed.

So what is New Builds & Development Magazine all about?

Well as the title suggests it is a magazine dedicated to showcasing the new developments popping up along our shoreline and across Europe and the Americas. Some may be off-plan some may be under construction and some may be completed. It is a magazine which unlike any other enables the architect, constructor, developer and promoter to showcase the development in all its glory with information about the project, location, interior, amenities plans and pricing, information which prospective buyers need to know – simply put it offers a mini brochure within a glossy magazine.

But that’s not all, purchasing a home is an extremely stressful process. A home purchase for most is the single largest purchase they will make in their lifetime so one needs to ensure they are making the right decision, so throughout the magazine we have placed market reports to highlight what is happening within the property sector to hopefully help you make that life-changing decision and find the house of your dreams.

THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS Integrated management of projects Would it not be great to have the peace of mind of a totally fixed, closed construction price, without any surprises, with guaranteed quality finishes and fulfilled delivery dates?

What if that fixed price were also the best on the market? Most of the time the answer to these questions would be a half smile, a ¡Oh! Or something like: “But that’s almost a utopia¨ However, with our integrated controlled project system, from the beginning you have the possibility of a fixed, closed execution price with optimum quality finishes and all in the agreed timeline.

OUR SECRET?

There is no such secret, the key is the combination of our construction team with the capacity of the technical structure of our company (+75 architects and builders) which allows us to detect potential technical problems or errors in the project and rectify them before beginning, as well as to evaluate in detail the costs and the time of execution of said project, guaranteeing the achievement of that objective, price, quality and timeline.

You can leave your project in our hands and we will offer you the price, the timeline and guaranteed quality finishings.

MARKET REPORT

Why now is the best time to buy in Spain Over the last few years the property markets in Spain have shown a steady recovery following the prolonged recession of 2009 – 2014. We all know that the property sector in Spain once a booming industry collapsed following the of demise of the Lehman Brothers and the subsequent years that followed were thwart with bank repossessions, plunging property prices and high levels of unemployment.

For those looking to escape to Spain on a more permanent basis these conditions were not exactly ideal, however official figures from the housing sector for 2016 measured against reduced employment rates and mortgage lending in the 1st quarter of 2017 show that the recovery is on a upwards trajectory and that the crisis is now behind us.

Figures provided by TINSA (market valuations and appraisal leaders) show that during the year to end-Q1 2016, Spanish house prices rose by 6.34% (7.05% inflation-adjusted) with salaries increasing on average by 2.2% In a recent report carried out by consultancy firm CBRE it stated that from now until 2020 Spain will need to build 100,000 new homes per year increasing to 140,000 new homes per year until 2025.

The CBRE report also concluded that by year-end, Spain’s unsold housing stock (in the residential market) which

stands at approx. 340,000 will have disappeared meaning price increases will of course be expected.

For first time buyers a further report conducted by UK relocation experts MoveHub has voted Spain the secondbest country for first-time buyers.

Analysing 33 countries it compared property price data from the Global Property Guide with average salaries according to the Hay’s Group Global Salary Forecast to determine the best countries for first-time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder.

The United Arab Emirates topped the table thanks in part to the 8% property price decrease last year but Spain came in second, thanks to its current low-interest rates Euribor – the rate used to calculate most mortgage repayments in Spain – remaining below zero for the last 12 months, rising prices, and signs that the economy is strengthening.

Sotogrande doC HillS

Sotogrande D.O.C Hills, is a new and exclusive development of 12 villas promoted exclusively by Noll & Partners (Chesterton’s Sotogrande), LOCATION The Sotogrande D.O.C Hills project is located on Avenida de los Cortijos, as you approach the F-Zone in the upper part of Sotogrande and close to the famous Valderrama Golf Club. Due to the nature of the incline of the road, views will be open to the adjoining forest and some villas may even have a peak onto the Valderrama fairways.

HOMES The villas which are being built to the highest of specifications with each villa sitting on a plot of over 2000 square meters with approx. 800 square meters built split over three levels.

They will have a purist architecture with elegant lines and high quality materials. The homes will have very high ceilings, ideal for entertaining and stylish family living, offering glamorous contemporary space and each will be different.

They will be rendered with white limestone very typical of the region, which will ooze beauty, power and comfort. The existing natural forest will be respected and will serve as a backdrop to the homes making them independent. Each house is an inner world of comfort and beauty. Compositionally the first villa is inspired by the work of Dutch painter of the twentieth century Piet Mondrian, applying their principles to sculpt geometric volumes that make up the house.

With modern lines shaping the landscape in Sotogrande, the architects, have captured the essence of Sotogrande in the 21st century with a modern project. The homes have been devised to allow ccupants to enjoy an unbeatable quality of life in one of the most exclusive resorts in Europe.

MARKET REPORT

Property sales show continued signs of recovery The recovery in the Spanish housing market has continued into 2017 while a rise in sales in places like Malaga and Alicante signal a return of foreign buyers.

The latest figures from the Land Registry shows that sales increased by 19% in January year on year, the biggest number of monthly sales since January 2013.

According to Mark Stucklin of Spanish Property Insight it is the highest number of recorded sales since 2008.

‘Sales in 2013 and 2011 were inflated by Government tinkering in the market.

So it’s the best start to the year for sales since the boom ended,’ he said.

A breakdown of the figures show that the biggest rise in sales was in the Balearics with an increase of 40%, followed by Cantabria up 40%, Barcelona up 36%, Tarragona/Costa Dorada up 35%, the Costa Brava up 28%, Asturias up 27% and Madrid up 22%.

Sales were also strong in southern locations popular with overseas buyers with the Costa del Sol up 20% and the Costa Blanca up 17%. Stucklin pointed out that sales in these regions may have been affected by a fall in British buyers last year after the UK voted to leave the European Union.

Some locations, however, are still struggling. Sales were up just 1% year on year in Costa de la Luz and the Canaries while they fell by 2% in Costa del Azahar which was driven by a 45% collapse in new home sales.

Overall, resales were up 21% and new home sales up 8%. Stucklin believes this is as sign that the new development collapse is slowly

drawing to an end. ‘It’s a relief to see the Spanish home sales recovery continue in 2017 and the increase in Malaga and Alicante suggests to me that buyers from other nationalities are stepping in to make up for a decline in British demand brought on by Brexit,’ he added.

Agents Lucas Fox have found that foreign buyers are returning to the market although there have been indications that Brexit is affecting the number of British buyers and the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States is affecting American buying habits.

Enquiries from the UK for homes in all desirable second home destinations have decreased following the Brexit vote, most notably on the Costa del Sol, traditionally popular among British buyers. Lucas Fox data shows that Barcelona and Ibiza were the most searched for destinations among UK buyers during 2016.

‘Since the referendum, UK buyers have dropped off due to the weakening of the Pound. There is still movement at the lower end of the market and towards the latter half of the year there has been an increase in the numbers of sellers of re-sale properties discounting prices, particularly British sellers who can now afford to reduce the price without affecting what they will make in Sterling,’ said Lucas Fox Marbella partner Stephen Lahiri.

Article provided courtesy of www.Propertywire.com

But despite the Brexit vote, British people continued to made up the biggest proportion of foreign buyers in 2016 at 11% although down from 18% in the previous year, followed by buyers from the Middle East at 8%, up from 5% in 2015.

The number of buyers from Scandinavia has also increased, up to 7% from 4% in 2015 while buyers from France have fallen from 9% to 6% and there has been a slight rise in American buyers from 4.5% in 2015 to 5% in 2016.

‘We’re seeing growing national and international demand for homes in leading cities and desirable second home destinations showing that Spain’s economic recovery is on course despite last year’s political paralysis,’ said Lucas Fox co-founder Alexander Vaughan.

‘With interest rates set to remain low, many are turning their backs on investing in traditional savings accounts, and choosing bricks and mortar instead, especially as banks are keen to lend,’ he explained.

‘We’re optimistic that the Spanish Property market will continue to improve through 2017 and for the coming years. Prices and transaction numbers are rising steadily in the major cities but in other areas it’s a very different story, with many property owners in secondary locations still having to drop their asking price to secure a sale,’ he added.

Overall, despite numerous events across the globe causing market uncertainty, Abama Luxury Residences achieved a record year of sales in 2016, with 47 units sold, which is more than triple the figure achieved in 2013. The resort is now almost 70% sold out, as purchasers continue to be attracted by the 5-star in-house amenities, year-round sun and strong investment potential.

Abama’s sales success coincides with a recent report from the National College of Property Registrars, which shows that in 2016, 13.25% of total property purchases across Spain and the Canary Islands were to non-Spaniards. Similar to Abama, the largest buyer group was by far the UK, comprising 19%, over half that of the second largest group Germany (9.2%).

Commenting on the Canary Islands appeal to British buyers, Agustin La Rocca, Sales Director at Arum Group, said: “The Canary Islands has long attracted British buyers, but these figures reveal an incredible rise in sales in 2016. When the EU Referendum result was announced it was a widely held belief that we could see a decrease in purchasers from the UK whilst the implications of an EU exit became clearer. However, we have seen the opposite, which is a real testament to what we have to offer at Abama Luxury Residences.”

These stats reinforce the Canary Islands’ reputation as a reliable place for property investment from overseas, and the market has been improving steadily for several years, with a reported 2.36% increase in the House Price Index across the islands in the third quarter of 2016 (Kyero).

Investing in a high-quality, new-build property such as those offered by Abama Luxury Residences, is likely to produce a health return on investment in future years, whilst making for the perfect holiday home.

ABAMA Agustin continued: “Originally conceptualised as a destination to entertain good friends and family, The Abama Resort has grown into one of Tenerife’s most luxurious residential destinations offering coveted properties and an unparalleled lifestyle. The closer we get to full delivery of the residential offering on the resort the more we are seeing greater interest and transactions with buyers that want a second home with a difference.”

Anticipating an even stronger sales campaign in 2017, Abama Luxury Residences has launched the latest phase of properties at Las Terrazas. Located at the entrance to the resort, the latest phase of Las Terrazas, enjoying a prime ocean-facing position. Set over three levels and 900sqm, it is built in the same architectural style as

the hotel and features 420sqm of extensive terraces, an outdoor pool and a children’s pool. Other details include a gym, private dining room, bar & snack area, play room and relaxation area.

The interiors of the new homes are designed by award-winning interior designer Rita Roses, who has a wealth of experience in hotel and real estate projects across Spain.

All Las Terrazas apartments feature a private open terrace ranging from 28sqm to 123sqm with spectacular views of the ocean and the resort’s subtropical gardens. Inside, walnut furniture, marble tiles, and natural silk and linen fibres give the rustic colonial decoration a sense of warmth and durability.

Bathrooms include hydromassage baths and showers and everything down to the cutlery in the kitchens is provided.

Beyond being the ideal year-round holiday retreat, Las Terrazas are also an attractive investment vehicle. The homes can be entered into a centrally managed rental pool with the potential to deliver a consistent yield to owners.

The five-star development is situated in Tenerife’s Guía de Isora, an exceptional microclimate where the average temperature is 21ºC (71.6ºF).

The area gets over 3,000 hours of sun per year, and 12 months of springtime weather, making it one of best on the island.

Further appeal to UK buyers is the fact there is no time difference and its easy accessibility, with flights from Gatwick to Tenerife South taking under 4.5 hours. From there the Abama resort is just 30-minutes by car.

MARKET REPORT

Foreign buyers pushing up sales in coastal areas of Spain, new research suggests

90 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

New data from the Spanish registrars suggests that Almeria on the south east coast of Spain is the country’s new property hotspot for British buyers as sales to all foreigners increase.

their 40s these days. With remote working an option and property prices in Spain so reasonable and particularly so in Almeria where the average property costs just €129,000, the appeal of moving overseas to raise a family has never been stronger,’ he said.

An analysis of the sales figures by Spanish real estate portal Kyero along with its own research shows it is racing ahead of other regions when it comes to sales.

According to the firm’s head of research Richard Speigal British buyers are increasingly focused on value for money since the vote to leave the European Union and Almeria offers what they are looking for.

On a quarterly basis, property sales in Almeria are up by 93% when compared with the third quarter of 2015, according to the registrars’ figures. With the rest of Spain growing modestly, Almeria stands out as enjoying a significant boom.

Almeria is in Andalusia on Spain’s Mediterranean coastline and while other locations popular with British buyers and expats were focussed on high rise developments in the late 1960s, to cram in as many tourists as possible, Almeria remained largely untouched.

Speigal believes that it means that those looking for a more authentic Spain can find property in the coastal towns of Almeria with a charm that their more developed neighbours have lost for good.

‘Almeria offers exceptional value for money. Property here costs a fraction of what it does in the neighbouring Costas. Our coastal towns remain full of charm and character and just a 15 minute drive away you can find yourself in wonderful countryside.

This lifestyle is sought by a new influx

of foreign buyers including French, Dutch and Germans,’ said Sharon Garner, sales director for Almeria based Spanish Property Choice.

She explained that despite Brexit there is still as steady flow of British buyers searching for a Spanish lifestyle. ‘We’ve seen a sharp rise in sales and long term lets, both of which have superseded our expectations for the year,’ she added.

Spanish Property Choice, which has had to expand its staff team twice already during 2016 to cope with increased buyer demand, says buyers are 45 to 60 years old and looking for a second home in the sunshine, with early retirees joined by those looking to bring up their family in a safe, healthy environment.

According to Speigal there used to be a fairly well established pattern of British buyers working until their retirement and then spending their savings on a home in the sunshine but modern ways of working and shifting values among the younger generation are having a significant impact on that approach.

‘Many people struggle to buy UK property well into their 30s, if not

By way of comparison, the average property in Alicante costs €210,000, while the average home in Malaga costs €295,000.

The growth in sales is reflected overall in the Spanish market with the register figures showing that transactions recorded in September were up 12% compared to the same month in 2015. Sales have now grown almost every month since March 2014.

Sales were down in some of the Costas which buyers in Almeria might be trying to avoid. Transactions were down in Malaga, home to the Costa del Sol, which probably reflects a decline in British demand below average in Alicante on the Costa Blanca, another region that has been popular with British buyers.

Meanwhile, CaixaBank says the real estate recovery is getting stronger and is led by coastal regions with demand from foreign buyers playing a major part.

Foreigners buying second homes lie behind a large proportion of the sales recorded on the Mediterranean coast and Canary Islands. Overseas buyers made up 30% of sales in the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Malaga and Murcia, the bank figures show.

OPEN, MODERN & WELCOMING a house for the time after the children’s departure As soon as its time for our children to leave the parental home, the question arises for many house owners of what to do with their new found space.

This was a decision that Jens (64) and Marita (62) Ohmer from Münsterland, Germany found themselves facing. “We had built a single-family house with a granny apartment over 30 years ago, and it was the right size for our family of two children. Now that everyone has left we have decided to rebuild the BUILDS house to& suit our need and feel 102 NEW DEVELOPMENTS lucky enough to have this beautiful property, situated in a very quiet environment close to our children and grandchildren. “ comBining software and home advice With the help of a purchased PC program from WeberHaus, the couple developed very concrete plans of what they wanted and discussed these with several manufacturers.

Costing, security and energy efficiency played an important due the planning stages as consideration needed to be taken for adapting the house to suit living for old age. the kitchen re-planned Contrary to expectations the centrepiece on the ground floor is a spacious living and dining area, the 60 m2 of which are adjacent to the kitchen. The Ohmers had initially planned just an 18m2 kitchen: “We originally planned to install the kitchen from our old house, but the buyer of our old house wanted to take over the kitchen, so we decided on a new kitchen”. The team at WeberHaus were able to easily adapt the plans to accommodate this and ensure that the style of the rest of the house was maintained.

Beautiful views on the upper floor The upper floor leads to the staircase, which also did not fit smoothly into the conceptual concept. The special execution of the stairs was quite a risk, since it was not really foreseeable how this would work in the high staircase. “In the raw construction phase, we even considered breaking down the closed railing and replacing it with a transparent one, but after finishing the interior design, we are very satisfied with it.” The rooms on the upper floor are all kept in cool blue shades and exude soothing calm. The study offers a magnificent view of the garden and the tall trees by a stream. But there were also tricky tasks to solve on the upper floor: “The sanitary projects should be arranged,

The art, which finds itself in the whole house, is characterized by a noble, animal motif particularly. And that has a good reason: “Horses are very dear to our hearts, and dealing with them is still part of our leisure time.” For this reason, the Ohmers have also opted for Franz Marc classics and other great masters. exactly as desired The Ohmers were thoroughly pleased with the end result, in addition to the planning and furnishing of the individual Weber house, the Ohmers also wanted a bespoke garden design with a top priority that the garden should be easy to maintain. “The house should not look too monotonous from the outside and have a welcoming character. In connection with the outdoor area, all our wishes for our second home are fulfilled: open, welcoming and modern” said Jen Ohmer. I think was achieved!

Glut of unsaleable new homes in Spain down by 20%

A glut of homes built in Spain during the boom housing years before the crash of 2007 which have been difficult to sell is steadily falling but some will never sell, according to new research.

Some of the houses may end up being demolished but the glut is now non-existent in several areas of the country, according to research from real estate services firm ServiHabitat, part of the Caix Bank Group.

The figures from the report show that the glut which fell by 20% in 2016 to 388,000 homes is set to fall another 20% in 2017 to around 315,000, well down on the 650,000 peak of 2009.

The highest number of difficult to sell new homes are in the La Rioja region, Castille-La Mancha and Valencia and is smallest or nonexistent in Madrid, the Balearics, the Canaries, and Catalonia.

ServiHabitat expects sales of all homes to rise in 2017. It says there were around 445,000 homes sold in 2016, up 26% compared to 2015. Its forecast for 2017 is for sales to rise by another 12%.

The firm also forecasts that the national average house price will have increased by 4.6% in 2016 and will rise 4.3% in 2017. But rising prices will not be universal with the biggest growth likely to be in Madrid, Barcelona and locations popular with overseas buyers including the Balearics and the Canaries.

The latest indices to be published suggest prices were flat towards the end of 2016 for seasonal reasons. Data from Tinsa shows that values were up by 0.2% overall in December.

It is expected that a return of overseas buyers in 2016 will continue into 2017, but fewer British buyers due to Brexit jitters. While Spain has always been popular with European buyers the country’s golden visa scheme which grants residency to people from outside the EU investing in property is also proving popular.

When it was introduced in 2013 with the offer of permanent residence for an investment of €500,000 or more in real estate, it was slow to take off but the latest figures show some 24,500 visas have now been issue of which 11,774 were to principal investors and 12,731 to family members.

Total foreign investment through the

scheme was €1.71 billion as of the end of October 2016, up from €1.05 billion at the end of 2015, an increase of 63% with property the most popular investment stream accounting for 77%.

The data also shows that Chinese buyers had invested a total of €469 million in 666 real estate purchases by the end of October, up 75% compared to the end of 2015 while Russians invested €480 million, 46% in 2016.

The most popular destination amongst Chinese buyers was Madrid while Russian buyers are concentrated on popular holiday and second home locations such as the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, Costa Brava and Barcelona.

BATTERSEA POWER Each morning, over 234,000 people commute to and from London Victoria train station. The highlight for many, was to catch a glimpse of the iconic disused Battersea Power station as the train rolled into the station. The grade II listed landmark is now discreetly tucked away behind a new residential glass building which forms part of the newly transformed Battersea Power Station, arguably, London’s most exciting new destination.

what is considered prime is changing, as many have begun to look south of the river to achieve better value for money, improved lifestyle and strong investment opportunities.

For decades, living north of the river in areas such as Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Kensington and Chelsea, were the only prime central London locations to consider when investing in property. Prices in Chelsea have risen by 169% in the last 10 years, according to leading London estate agent, Russell Simpson. However, the boundaries of

A recent report from Russell Simpson showed that the demographic of people living in Battersea is much younger than those living in Chelsea, which still has a considerable proportion of wealthy older professionals and retirees.

However, this is expected to change as more people move south of the river to reap the financial and lifestyle benefits.

116 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Those living north of the river in London villages such as Chelsea are taking advantage of the sq. ft. values and high specification lateral accommodation that living south of the river offers.

STATION Battersea Power Station is just a 12 minute walk from Sloane Square, allowing Chelsea residents to continue enjoy their favourite haunts.

Although, they may not mind so much when the array of exciting new river front restaurants, cafes, bars and culture open to the public.

The £8bn transformation of Battersea Power Station forms part of the vast Nine Elms regeneration project which will see the delivery of 20,000 new homes, 600,000 sq. ft. of business space, 25,000 jobs, new schools, parks and £1bn investment to improve transport. Covering 560 acres, there are 20 separate projects being undertaken to create the new London destination. The US Embassy is relocating to the area, along with New Covent Garden Market – set to be the largest fresh produce market in the country and Apple is taking up residence in the power station, relocating 1,400 staff to the new campus.

BATTERSEA POWER STATION

The population of Battersea is projected to grow dramatically by 2030. The borough of Wandsworth is predicted to expand by 12%. That’s an extra 20,000 residents. The riverside ward of Queenstown – which encompasses Battersea Power Station – is expected to account for the majority of the borough’s population growth.

When the Tate Modern, formerly Bankside Power Station, opened in 2000, apartments in the surrounding post code district rose in value by 109% and construction of new developments in the area surged.

Russell Simpson is predicting a similar effect when Battersea Power Station is completed.

118 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Battersea Power Station is considered one of London’s most iconic buildings. The coal-fired power station was built in two stages, Building A in the 1930’s and building B in the 1950’s. The Grade II listed station ceased generating electricity in 1983 and left many wondering what would become of the landmark as they began to watch it deteriorate.

Today, the power station and its 42 acres of former industrial land is being transformed into a diverse new neighbourhood with a thriving community which features new homes, businesses, shops, culture, restaurants and cafes, all served by a new Northern Line underground station. In Mid-2016, prices for an apartment in Battersea averaged £820,000, whereas average prices for an apartment in Chelsea was almost double at £1,465,000.

That is not only a saving on the initial property price, but also saves on the stamp duty costs. An important factor for those who aren’t super rich.

Alan Russell, Founder of Russell Simpson commented: “Battersea Power Station is transforming our view of the London village. Chelsea has a quintessential village feel, with fantastic shops, restaurants and parks, however, we are expecting to see a surge of Chelsea residents move the south of the river to take advantage of the values and lifestyle benefits that Battersea will offer. The new development is a stroll across the bridge to the delights of Chelsea and the new underground station will provide easy access across London, leaving nothing to be desired.”

Delivering at scale is critical to creating a new place.

2006-16 saw 2,600 new homes in Battersea. Today there are around 5,700 new homes under construction and a further similar amount with planning permission.

Battersea Power Station is central to this development schedule, accounting for a third of the homes either under construction or with planning permission.

120 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Russell Simpson report that the demographic of people living in Battersea is much younger than those living in Chelsea, which still has a considerable proportion of wealthy older professionals and retirees.

However, this is expected to change as people move south of the river to reap the financial and lifestyle benefits.

Average property prices in Battersea are 32% lower than in Chelsea and 40% lower when looking at the average cost of an apartment.

However, the property value gap between these two areas is narrowing, mostly due to the current limited availability of property south of the Thames to date. Prices for the new apartments in phase 3A at Battersea Power Station start from ÂŁ1,665 per sq. ft.

Prices for apartments at Chelsea Barracks are reportedly ÂŁ4,500 per sq. ft. Giving you an idea of how much further your money can spread when you look south.

Brexit has positives and negatives for UK home building

The decision to leave the European Union could adversely affect the construction of new homes as many workers are from other countries, it is suggested, but red tape will be reduced.

It seems that overall Brexit has potentially mixed effects for the home building industry. On the one hand many workers are from other EU countries but builders would be free from red tape regarded as holding up construction.

According to Brian Berry, chief executive of the Federation of Master Builders, the UK construction industry has been heavily reliant on migrant workers from Europe for decades.

‘It is now the Government’s responsibility to ensure that the free-flowing tap of migrant workers from Europe is not turned off. If ministers want to meet their house building and infrastructure objectives, they have to ensure the new system of immigration is responsive to the needs of industry,’ he said.

catastrophe. It’s only through close collaboration between the government and industry that we’ll be able to overcome these challenges,’ he added.

Jeremy Blackburn, head of policy at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) there are questions around the impact on access to a skilled workforce to meet the country’s construction and infrastructure needs.

‘We need reassurance that workforce migration will be addressed as a priority and it must not be allowed to impact on the attractiveness of the UK for investment, or as a place where major corporate and industrial occupiers want to do business,’ he said.

He believes at the same time more must be put into training British people in the skills necessary for the construction industry and that should be done by investing in apprenticeship training.

However, John Elliott, managing director of Millwood Designer Homes, believes that Brexit could be good for the house building industry. ‘I am excited to get on with the New World and see the back of EU laws which have been detrimental to us for over 40 years,’ he said.

‘We need to train more construction apprentices so we are not overly reliant on migrant workers from Europe or further afield. That’s why it’s so important the Government gets the funding framework right for apprenticeships,’ he explained.

‘One of the UK’s biggest assets is our home grown housing market and this will now be much better off out of EU regulation. For many years, the EU Habitats Directive has had an unnecessary impact on house building,’ he explained.

‘When you consider that this whole policy area is currently in flux, and then you add Brexit into the mix, it’s no exaggeration to say that a few wrong moves by the government could result in the skills crisis becoming a skills

‘The mere hint of great crested newts or slow worms on a site, which unlike in Northern Europe where they are rare and given special protection, are prolific in the South East of England can delay building for months as they

have to be translocated and caught and taken somewhere else for release,’ he pointed out.

He also pointed out that Special Protection Areas were another ‘misguided’ EU directive and in the case of Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, resulted in a seven kilometre zone where building can only take place if would be builders provide SANGS (Suitable Alternative Natural Green Spaces). However, according to conservationists, this is detrimental to the Forest as it will destroy the flora and fauna.

‘Most recently the EU’s Mortgage Credit Directive effectively means that no housebuilders are able to lend money to buyers unless they register as a regulated financial adviser. When times are difficult, this has been a traditional way for house builders to help buyers overcome mortgage down valuations and other issues, and keep the market moving,’ he added.

Jan Crosby, head of housing at KPMG UK, acknowledged that any labour constraints brought in could reduce the availability of foreign workers on construction sites, currently a relatively large source of labour for the industry.

But added; ‘Our exit from the EU will stop the continual flow of red tape and see our housing market grow and flourish without unnecessary constraints placed on building much needed new homes; working towards creating a better future for Britain’.

Belvedere Gardens new London riverfront homes unveiled

Belvedere Gardens, developed by Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar, is the third building at Southbank Place to be launched and offers the most premium apartments to date with unique views across London. Facing Jubilee Gardens and at the heart of London’s South Bank, striking images reveal dual aspect homes offering river views of London’s most recognisable landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall and the London Eye. Set in the prime position of the 5.25 acre Shell Centre development, Belvedere Gardens offers panoramic views of the River Thames and across central London, with refined interiors exclusively designed by Goddard Littlefair and sophisticated architecture by GRID Architects, the 97 apartments are split over 20 levels, comprising, 23 one-bedrooms, 58 two-bedrooms, 13 three-bedrooms and one three-bedroom duplex, plus two penthouses, arranged across the 10 and 20 storey buildings.

Southbank Place sits on the former home of The Festival of Britain, from which the design of Belvedere Gardens has been

heavily influenced to celebrate the area’s heritage and culture. The visually striking exterior is inspired by the Festival of Britain emblem, the Festival Star, embossed and debossed across the façade, with the bronze colour, echoing the nearby Palace of Westminster. This small and detailed texture can also be seen in the perforated aluminium panels on the sides of the building and shading the terraces, playing with the sunlight to offer a veil like curtain for privacy whilst maximising light into the homes.

Residents will have access to a private residents’ lounge, leading to an opulent outdoor terrace, providing an intimate space for social gatherings and business meetings, as well as space for residents to entertain and relax. These homes will have access to a dedicated health and fitness facility, exclusively designed by Goddard Littlefair and in addition to the health club already available to all Southbank Place residents.

ROOM WITH A VIEW

GRID Architects and Goddard Littlefair have worked together to create an outstanding sense of luxury that flows through the living spaces at Belvedere Gardens. Each apartment will be fitted to the very highest of standards and specifications, providing a seamless blend of elegance and practicality with the ability to cater for both small intimate gatherings and large scale entertainment with ease and flair. Floor to ceiling windows fill the spaces with light and focus the eye on the spectacular skyline and river views.

Martin Goddard, Co-Founder and Director of Goddard Littlefair, said: “We have developed sophisticated interiors, designed to leave a lasting impression and enhance the rare character and setting of these apartments. The spaces have been carefully considered to make the most of the open aspect, the natural light and the superb river views. The rich mix of materials and textures complement and harmonise with the architectural concept and link to the mid-century design of the surrounding area.”

These design-driven apartments will vary in price and size, with a one-bedroom apartment starting from £1,050,000. For further information on Southbank Place or to book an appointment in the marketing suite call +44 (0) 20 7001 3600 or visit www.southbank-place.com

VIVER GREEN INTRODUCING EGG HOMES LEaDING THE MaRkET IN SUSTaINabLE LUxURy LIvING The Lake District, one of the UK’s most scenic areas, is set to undergo a major revitalisation project coming in the next twelve months. The Lake District has long been a popular tourist destination, however, there is increasing interest from those looking to relocate permanently to the region. Meeting that rising demand is luxury sustainable developer egg Homes, through its landmark Viver Green development, a collection of 19 high-quality homes, priced between £445,000 and £800,000.

Commenting on the appeal of the Lake District, egg Homes Partner and Director of Sales and Marketing, Chris Nelson said: “This region is one of the best places to live in Britain, it benefits from good transport connections to the NorthWest, Midlands and London, boasts some firstrate shops, cafes, restaurants and local pubs, excellent schools and is set amidst the most beautiful surroundings. That’s why Viver Green has been designed using the latest sustainable

construction methods, to create perfect homes for a perfect area. We’ve also utilised leading cultivation techniques that promote the growth of plants and trees, which in turn allows wildlife to flourish.

Set on generous plots overlooking the rolling Cumbrian countryside, Viver Green is a collection of 19 elegant residences marrying innovative contemporary design with the very latest energy-efficient technology. The four and five bedroom homes offer a choice of seven different designs and all feature balconies and landscaped front and rear gardens. They are located within 10 minutes’ drive of Kendal and Oxenholme railway station - which connects directly to London Euston and are 20 minutes from Windermere. Phase 1 was fully reserved within a week with buyers originating both from the local area and across the UK, including Bath and Oxford. Sales for Phase 2 have just been launched.

EGG HOMES

Thanks to a range of ground-breaking sustainable features and prominent partnerships with leading research and development teams, the hamlet of properties will have SAP ratings of between 92% and 98% and have been described by an SAP Surveyor as ‘one of the bestperforming projects I have ever seen’.

Beyond the technical assets of each property the eggHomes development team, a triumvirate of professionals specialising in the construction sector, is absolutely passionate about reinvesting in the local community.

As such they have already engaged in a number of socially responsible contributions which means the surrounding residents are unanimously in support of the project.

132 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Co-founders Chris Nelson, Ashley Reece and Matthew Eves are working directly with local governments to extend and re-open a trail way that currently culminates at the Viver Green boundary and in addition are creating a community orchard within the site that will be managed and used by local charity Growing Well. eggHomes will also be installing the fastest broadband in the whole of the UK to the development and surrounding area, has employed a local apprentice and created a competition for school children to choose the name of the development.

Challenging traditional building techniques, eggHomes is one of the few developments in the UK to be utilising Amvic Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) for the property shells, consisting of high-density polystyrene panels with a solid concrete core. This is the strongest insulating concrete framework currently on the market which also provides remarkable thermal and sound insulation, fire safety, thermal mass and durability for the property’s lifetime. Other features of note are triple-glazed aluminium windows and doors, underfloor heating on ground and upper floors, solar panels, solid upper floor construction and intelligent controls. eggHomes has also forged a partnership with Mitsubishi Electric to provide game-changing renewable Ecodan air source heat pumps for each home which respond to the demands of new-build properties and their associated building regulations.

The latest version of this market-leading technology, has been specifically designed to match the hot water and heating requirements of new-build homes, providing reliable, renewable heating all year round.

Throughout the build process, the team has reused and recycled resources including concrete, produce aggregates, metals and timbers and has used locallysourced materials and tradesmen to ensure traditional skills and techniques are supported.

Local estate agents Thomson Hayton Winkley have been appointed alongside Benson Bunch and explain why the development is such a notable one ‘‘As a local agent we are extremely excited by this project and are not at all surprised by the level of interest the initial marketing has created. There are currently no other developments in the area that offer homes of this premium quality and efficiency coupled with ingenious design, meaning these houses really do stand-out from the crowd’.

Prices range from £445,950 to in excess of £800,000 for four and five bedroom homes available on plots of between 156sqm and 291sqm.

Beyond Viver Green, eggHomes is currently in talks with several land owners in nearby areas to secure future sites for development. Aiming to change the face of sustainable building in the future, eggHomes’ intelligent properties are both luxurious and ecologically sound making them coveted assets in today’s changing world.

SANTA HELENA

An AristrocrAtic ProPErtY For sALE

In the historic district of Alfama, the iconic Santa Helena Palace is undergoing a transformation, perhaps the most significant restoration of a private period building and grounds since Lisbon’s recent wave of regeneration began. The palace was once the home to the local aristocracy (São Martinho Counts), which owned the land that makes up the city’s Alfama district.

It is located on one of the most famous hills in the city, close to the well-known Patriarchal Cathedral of St. Mary Major or simply Lisbon Cathedral.

Distinctive period features are being retained and turned anew, restoring the building’s identity in the city and creating a collection of homes that balances Lisbon’s historic culture and charm with a level of modern comfort exceeding that of which is currently available in the city.

SANTA HELENA The developer, a leading light in Lisbon’s recent transformation, has cleverly used the many different sized and shaped spaces within the building to create a special collection of homes, mostly renovations and some entirely new-build, with features like high ceilings, large windows and some with private gardens, terraces and even swimming pools.

The redevelopment will comprise 21 one-five bedroom apartments, arranged across three areas within the palace grounds; the ‘Patio’, the ’Garden and the ‘Palace’ itself and due to the project’s position on top of a hill, every home will be bathed in sunlight.

Secure garage parking, a rare commodity in this part of Lisbon, will be available for all the properties. Concierge services will also be available, helping owners with daily tasks.

Prices range from €650,000 to €2.85M

Standing 52 stories high this prestigious address offers residents an unmatched living experience paired with worldclass amenities and services. In total there are 287 one, two and three bedroom apartments and a penthouse complete with business, leisure, concierge and parking facilities.

Designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, the symbolic design has been carefully sculpted to follow the path of the sun, to allow for maximum daylight to enter units at all levels and reduce shadows at street-level amid a dense, historic urban fabric. The arched façade comes to an apex at the top creating a multi-level penthouse with spectacular panoramic views of the city. The glass and aluminium curtain-wall is constructed with self-cleaning panelling and triple-glazed floor-to- ceiling windows arranged in an irregular pattern that animates the surface with a play of light and shadow.

Each apartment is unique and are offered in a wide range of sizes. Typical apartments range from 660 sq ft up to 3,224 sq ft, with penthouses and several full floor residences reaching up to 10,000 sq ft in size. All apartments have a spacious living area with floor-to- ceiling glazing, providing a light and airy ambience.

‘The concept and design of Złota 44 first came to mind as I was reflecting on this city which has been resurrected after ages of destruction and oppression. I wanted to capture both the Warsaw of the past and the future into one specific shape, as well give a sense of the freedom and affirmation of everyday life today. More than anything I was inspired by the identity and the potential of this amazing city!’

Located within a short drive of Disneyworld, SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens, Balmoral at Water’s Edge provides a wealth of on-site amenities. Key features include a full-service waterpark, swimming pool with sun loungers and beach club style patio bar, restaurant, games room, cinema room, gymnasium, event lawn with fire pit and outdoor theatre facilities, three lakes with private beaches and boat docks, pavilions, eight recreational parks and a Ronaldo 9 Soccer Academy.

Commenting on the opening of the resort, Feltrim Group CEO, Garrett Kenny, said: “This is the largest residential resort built in Haines City, Orlando in the last decade and using our 21 years of knowledge in the industry, we’re confident that Balmoral at Water’s Edge will set a new benchmark for this type of development. Residents will have everything they need on their doorstep, as well as being close to the leading theme parks and resorts.

“We are also in a unique position to offer a host of sporting facilities onsite, including a world class soccer academy operated by R9, founded by a true legend of the game Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima. Set to open in December of this year, we hope to help nurture some of the superstars of tomorrow in this hotbed of U.S. Soccer.”

The new academy, to be spread over 5 acres, will encompass a full-sized professional soccer field, three training fields, class rooms and an auditorium. Ronaldo himself stated “We are excited to move into the U.S. market, especially in Florida, where soccer has a great influence in the community. Ronaldo Academy’s focus is more than forging athletes, it is to develop youth through soccer. The Balmoral project is a perfect opportunity for us to do that.”

BALMORAL Managed and maintained year-round by the Feltrim Group, the new-build homes at Balmoral come complete with modern fixtures and fittings. The properties provide large floor plates coupled with high ceilings to create a feeling of light and space.

The typical unit is complete with entrance hall, living room, open-plan kitchen and dining room, master bedroom suite, guest bedroom suites, front and rear gardens, with larger homes enjoying glazed garden room, swimming pool and patio area.

Set on individual plots, each home at Balmoral can be entered into a leaseback scheme operated by Feltrim Group. Purchasers have a choice of a two or threeyear option, with a guaranteed 6% Net return, as well as property taxes and Home Owners Association Fees covered by the management company during the duration of the scheme.

A further incentive for purchasers is the EB-5 investment scheme, a method of obtaining a green card for foreign nationals who invest money in the United States.

To qualify individuals must invest $500,000 - $1,000,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA). Balmoral is located in a central Florida EB-5 TEA, thereby making the resort applicable for the baseline $500,000 investment threshold.

For those living overseas, this is rated as one of the most efficient and hasslefree ways to gain citizenship, as at the moment applications are only taking 9-15 months to be approved by USCIS, the governing authority. EB-5 has proven very popular with Asian investors, with Chinese nationals making up 83.5% of applicants in Florida to date. The numbers of British applicants has been creeping up in the past few years, currently comprising 6% of all applications since its inception.

Commenting on the benefits of the EB-5 scheme, Garrett Kenny said: “Florida has long appealed to property purchasers from all over the world, with the most prominent buyer groups hailing from Brazil, Asia and the UK. To date Balmoral has attracted a wealth of international buyers and the EB-5 scheme has made the resort and the area even more attractive. The opportunity to gain US citizenship is a huge draw for those visiting overseas as it removes the restrictions on the time they can spend in the country either on business or enjoying their holiday home.�

Opening onto Highway 27, Balmoral is only a mile from the renowned Southern Dunes Golf Club, one of the finest courses in the U.S. The 80 acre Posner Shopping Mall is a short drive from the resort, whilst Orlando International Airport is just 45-minutes.

Balmoral will be a horizontal hotel with the equivalent in hospitality terms of over 1,000 rooms in 245 upscale units. A mixture of homes are available both for sale and to let.

MARKET REPORT

Prime property prices in key global cities up 1.4%

166 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Prices in key prime property markets around the world increased by 1.4% on average year on year, almost unchanged from the increase recorded in 2015, the latest global index shows.

Australasia was the strongest performing world region in 2016 with prices rising by 11.4% year on year with Shanghai prices up 27.4%, Beijing up 26.7% and Guangzhou up 26.6%, according to the prime international residential index from real estate firm Knight Frank.

Seoul also saw strong growth with luxury prices increase by 16.6% and the report says that low interest rates and strong economic growth boosted demand in the South Korean capital.

Asia was the second strongest performing region with prices rising by 5.1% on average. In Hong Kong, which recorded negative growth in 2015, prices drifted upwards in 2016 recording annual growth of 2.1%.

The strongest market in North America was Toronto where prices increased by 15.1% year on year but this was notably lower than the 25% increase recorded in 2015. A new 15% tax on foreign buyers introduced in August saw sales decrease, the report points out.

Meanwhile, Europe continues to send out mixed messages. Of those locations recording a fall in prices in 2016 some 50% were located in Europe. A year earlier this figure was 65%, suggesting that the continent’s recovery is gaining traction.

Amsterdam, Gstaad, Munich, Berlin and Barcelona were Europe’s top performers in 2016, but second home markets such as Ibiza, Mallorca, the Western Algarve and Lake Como also rose up the rankings.

But the prime market in London saw prices fall by 6.3% in 2016 with the report pointing out that stamp duty changes in recent years have weakened demand but the final quarter saw activity strengthen as buyers adjusted to the new tax burden.

It also says that while some of the strongest performers such as Auckland, Sydney and Berlin, appear to have become permanent fixtures at the top of the rankings, a number of our newer prime movers, such as Guangzhou, Seattle and Amsterdam, can attribute their sudden ascent to the fact that their prime prices are rising from a low base.

Guangzhou, for example, now finds itself sitting alongside Shanghai in the rankings, having recorded 27% annual price growth. Yet in real terms, prime prices here are half those found in China’s financial capital. Seattle and Amsterdam are also rising from a low base, but in both cases this can be considered a price correction following falls of 29% and 18% respectively post-Lehman.

Latin America is one of four regions which recorded negative growth in 2016 with prices down by 2.7% year on year and in the Middle East prices fell by 3.3% on average in 2016, due in part to the fluctuation of oil prices.

Overall of the 100 cities tracked by the index some 61% recorded flat or rising prices in 2016, down from 66% the year before. The report says this suggests a marginal slowdown

Article provided courtesy of www.Propertywire.com

in the performance of global luxury residential markets in general.

Looking ahead, the report suggests that over the coming months all eyes will be on policymakers in China as they attempt to reign in prices in the largest cities. The wider mainstream market, where price growth of 30% year on year is not uncommon, continues to overshadow the luxury sector.

It points out that new cooling measures, including higher deposit rates and home purchase restrictions, have already been introduced in some cities in the hope of both slowing the rate of growth and deterring speculative demand.

The report also points out that local economic activity has a strong bearing on price performance, indeed all of this year’s top 10 rankings report 3% or more in annual GDP growth.

‘The long held safe haven narrative still has its place, but with strong capital growth eluding the world’s top financial capitals, we expect secondary markets across Europe and the US to come under the spotlight.

Cities that offer the potential for attractive margins, where prices are rising from a low base and where any risk is tempered by a level of transparency and good governance such as Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Dublin, Chicago and Seattle, look likely to perform well,’ it concludes.

Clean lines, open space, an emphasis on light and being at one with its surroundings are the defining characteristics of a project designed and created by Benjumea Arquitectos who are situated in the heart of Sotogrande.

Founded by father and son team; Manuel Benjumea Delgado and Antonio Benjumea Tesouro, it is a family run busy with architecture in its DNA which specializes in the creation of contemporary villas, offering a highly personalized professional service backed-up by a dedicated multidisciplinary team of architects, who above all specialize in the different fields of building and planning alongside each other. In addition they have established long standing relationships with associated specialists such as lighting engineers, electronic experts and interior designers. “Designing a modern luxurious home today requires the experience of many skilled individuals, who are specialists in the field of design,” says Antonio Benjumea Tesouro.

The business a highly successful practice operates not just in the prestigious enclave of Sotogrande but along the coastal region offering clients an unsurpassed technical skill base rooted in broad architectural experience, design flair and technical expertise. As an

architect the ethos of Antonio is that “good quality design should be integral to the development of the built environment”.

With each Benjumea Arquitectos project, we are concerned with ideas of sustainability through the use of energy harnessing technology, the choice of materials in the build, and the life-use of the building. 21st Century architecture has evolved rapidly and today architects needs to ensure they are aware of not just keeping up with the latest designs but also be aware of the environmental impact on the building project and this is what we do at Benjumea Arquitectos. When designing a project we take everything into consideration the; orientation, gradient of the land, climate and surrounding properties & of course functionality. Designing buildings that future generations will enjoy is key to our thinking” he says.

The strength of their commitment to this ethos is why Benjumea Arquitectos has been able to weather the tough years felt throughout the property sector “quality will always shine through” says Antonio, “and now in these exciting times we aim to continue pushing the case for building designs that improve the quality of our environment, and people’s lives”.

Are you considering building your

DREAM HOME?

We all dream of building our own home and with an abundance of television shows such as ‘Grand Designs’ and an array of magazines and newspaper editorials that detail ideas for inspiration, processes and show success stories for people that have done it suddenly the idea doesn’t seem so daunting.

If you are considering taking the plunge into the building world, here are a few considerations that you should bear in mind.

178 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Plan a budget and stick to it First and foremost - The management and cash flow of your building project is crucial if you want to have a successful building project. Many building projects fail simply because people run out of cash. Before you start your building project ensure that you have enough cash reserves to finish the project, if you are working with a financial institute

who is releasing cash as and when parts of the project are completed ensure you sit down with your architect and builder to devise a workable schedule.

Employ a project manager, yes this will cost you but in the long run a good project manager is worth its weight in gold as they will ensure the builder and tradespersons are working efficiently.

NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

DIY vs. Builder It may initially seem like a cheaper and easier option to do it yourself until you actually start doing the work and mistakes begin to happen. While no mistake is ever intentional it is worth considering that any mistake no matter how big or small will need to be fixed and this will cost you and in some cases could cost an awful lot. In addition you will also need to consider the red-tape of local councils and environment officers, building a house is not as easy as you may think today there are a lot of building regulations to consider. If after weighing up these points you decide to use builder then you MUST research – today so many people get stung by “cowboy builders”. Ask your local council for recommendations, speak to friends and above all demand whatever builder you choose he provides you with previous clients details so you can verify his credentials.

Get your paperwork in order Your finances are in order, you decided on either doing it yourself

180 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

or hiring a building now is the time to get going! But before you progress its crucial to make certain you have the appropriate consents to build, including planning permission, building control approval and any special permissions (such as conservation area consent).

Your building project may be one of the biggest investments in your life so it’s essential that you safeguard your investment by getting the right contracts, warranties and insurance in place.

Ensure your builder holds a valid insurance policy, and if you’re doing it yourself get a self-build insurance from either your financial lender or providers such as Self-Build Zone or BuildStore.

Plan your purchases It is important to make sure that you have selected the right materials for building your property. It is also important that you budget for the correct amount of materials that you will use in your building project.

Ordering too many unnecessary materials can easily blow your budget and can put a hold on your building project if not enough materials are readily available.

Try to be green in your approach We can all do our part to help the environment during the building process and for the finished result of the home. Aim to be as green friendly as possible. Some tips include:

Common home building mistakes Ensuring your dream home doesn’t become a house of horrors is simply down to the planning and detail. First time builders will always run in to problems but here we highlight a few of the most common to help you avoid any disasters.

Changing the plans Once the architect gets the engineer’s seal of approval any changes made after that can throw the whole project off and trigger a domino effect of problems and costs. For example, wanting to move a doorway, may sound simple but the current position could be supporting a beam which if moved would mean that this part of the house would need to be fitted with an alternative support. In this case, the engineer may need to revise drawings to accommodate the change – which adds up in time and cost.

Make sure your planning sessions with your architect produce a plan that is exactly what you want and need in terms of space and layout for your new home.

Water conservation Try to take measures where you can to reduce the amount of water being consumed onsite. Where water is necessary for the building project, seek to use recycled water (such as rainwater). Additionally, when you’re building the property look at ways to incorporate rainwater (or recycled water systems) into the home especially for use for irrigation systems and water gardening. You’ll be amazed how much you can save.

Cutting corners Even if you are working within a tight budget cutting corners on design and materials does not make economic sense to. Do not cut corners on the fundamentals of your build such as bricks, roof tiles and windows because you want to save money for internal fittings as the old adage says “ you pay for what you get” and replacing a roof in a few years will costs an awful lot more than internal fittings

Energy conservation Artificial lighting is a factor that we cannot get away from, however aim to use energy conservation bulbs in your finishes and where possible make use of natural light, ask your architect about installing light tunnels and sun pipes into darker areas of the home. Skylights and shutters are also another brilliant way to bring light into the home and combined with the use of smart systems it will conserve energy and help the environment too.

Think smart Smart homes are fast becoming a popular trend. Where you have the opportunity to integrate smart technology into the new home, consider it. It should help to improve the perceived value of the home and will also help to reduce ongoing running costs.

Paying up front This is a big no-no. Paying builders in advance is one of the most common mistakes. If a builder doesn’t trust you enough to start work without cash up-front, you shouldn’t t trust them either.

Set up terms and pay when different stages of the work are completed. Alternatively register funds with a third party such as a lawyer who can release funds at designated stages.

Maiz y Diaz

ARQUITECTORS Miguel Maiz and Jesus Diaz are in the top 20 list of architects on the Costa del Sol, according to Guicuest publishing house.

Today we will learn about their architecture, projects and their opinion about the future of the Costa del Sol.

What is Maiz y Diaz?

Maiz and Diaz is a multidisciplinary architecture studio located in Marbella, with over 20 years’ experience working on the most exclusive urbanizations across the Costa del Sol. It consists of a team with a broad range of specialists, including architects, engineers, interior designers, building contractors and landscapers, all with profound experience.

How would you describe your style?

We believe Maiz and Diaz style has to be the end result of the collaboration between our team and the client,

reflecting on a number of essentials that we always bear in mind for each particular project. That is why we see all our projects as unique, differentiating themselves from the rest by contributing our experience to the clients’ ideas.

What are these essentials you take into consideration for each and every project?

We find that at the beginning of a project’s design process you have to think comprehensively, considering factors like the location of the plot, its topography, surroundings, orientation, views, privacy, safety, the

internal and external connections of the gardening, the clients’ requested agenda and the type of architecture and design that will make them happy and comfortable.

We also understand the importance of paying close attention to the details and finishes, as well as the required quality level and the budget previously agreed upon with the clients for this type of luxury housing.

The climate we have in this area lets us further exploit the interconnection of internal and external architectural elements, such as patios, porches, pergolas, French windows and other means for letting in natural light, aquatic and gardening elements of design, and cross (natural) ventilation.

This set of tools and opportunities helps us achieve astounding results.

Popular architecture has been successfully satisfying this kind of requirements for thousands of years.

Today, apart from knowledge, we possess technology that lets us create truly luxurious homes. This includes smart home systems (Domotics), special facilities, security features, telecommunications, etc. The fact that our own team and our collaborating partners have extended experience in the application of this technology lets

182 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

us achieve a very satisfying end result for the clients.

The modern technologies also help us with the project development, especially by letting us create 3D visualisations that allows clients who are not educated in architecture, better understand the potential end result before starting the construction process.

Apart from luxury villas, have you undertaken other types of projects?

Of course, we have developed residential projects for over 2,000 homes, not only in apartment buildings, but also townhouses, “Mediterranean villages”, as well as restoration projects, hotels, commercial centres, parks, spas and urbanisations.

It is worth mentioning that our studio has a specialised department responsible for urban development and management.

What projects are you currently working on?

Last year we won three contests that allowed us to finish a number of unique projects in Sierra Blanca, Cabopino and Los Arqueros. As a result of our previous clients’ referrals, we are now working on new luxury villas in La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, Flamingos and Guadalmina, and also on an original project involving luxury beachside townhouses.

Out of all these, we would like to highlight a 10 super-luxurious apartments’ project in Sierra Blanca, because of its one-of-a-kind design.

What do you think of the current market?

We are very optimistic about it. Many investors have been approaching

us to talk about buying raw land for construction, because they recognize this region has some spectacular prospects for the near future.

In Marbella there are some outstanding professionals, both in architecture and in the construction and development processes, and Marbella’s image, along with its surrounding areas, is a very lucrative one for foreign investors.

Hopefully we will all value and care for this luxury market, so that it can grow even stronger.

What are your thoughts on tendencies in the design sector?

Nowadays, most clients demand an original, modern yet functional design, with clean, defined lines, with emphasis on the exterior elements, and in the case of development projects, a complete set of services and amenities, along with special facilities.

On the other hand, we still keep working on projects with classical and modernized Andalusian architectural styles, because they appeal to some of our clients. As we mentioned before, our goal is not to be published in magazines for the originality and complexity of our projects. Instead, we want to earn the clients’ satisfaction by improving on their own ideas.

What would you advise to a client with an intention to buy land for a villa construction?

Before purchasing a plot, we would suggest you make sure that everything is fine in regard to urban planning, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future, and verify the suitability of the plot for construction of the particular type of villa you wish to build. We provide all these services free of charge to our future clients.

CASALGRANDE PADANA Introduces the new Beton collectIon

Beton is an excellent ceramic product created for use throughout the home, characterized by high levels of resistance to wear, abrasion, etching, and thermal shock resistance.

This modern decorative effect, definitely aimed at designing contemporary living spaces, is proposed in five soft colour tones. The project defines a sort of monochromatic stratification of the matter that is perceived both by sight and by touch - a surface that integrates varied sensory experiences and capable of generating reference levels never seen before.

Consisting of slabs that always differ from one another, Beton is manufactured in 9 and 10 mm thick squared and ground pieces in the large 75,5x151 cm format, with its submultiples, with either a natural finish. The quality of the material and the originality of design offer designers huge expressive possibilities to implement many customized applications for different architectural definitions of space. The types of works where these products can be used range from residential building to large commercial surfaces, from public buildings to urban landscaping, from the most challenging constructions of modern architecture to the recovery and restoration of existing structures.

Like all Casalgrande Padana’s production, the Beton collection is characterized by its environment-friendly contents because the company has been constantly committed to developing innovative technologies to manufacture high-performance materials with a low environmental impact.

WOOD EFFECT PORCELAIN TILES Choosing the flooring for your home is one of the most significant decisions to make in terms of the long-term, overall look and feel of the space. It’s a big financial decision, and theoretically it’s not going to be changed for at least a number of years – or ideally, for many years to come.

But choosing between real hardwood flooring and porcelain tiles means being stuck between two very different choices: authentic and long lasting but difficult to maintain and expensive, or durable, easy to clean, but without a touch or warmth.

Well the simplest solution always seem to be the best and Porcelanosa Par-ker Original Ceramic Parket tiles offers the best of both worlds - a porcelain tile printed with wood patterns offers picture-perfect natural wood colour and variety with durability it’s easy to clean and

188 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

less expensive than one might think and by merging the beauty and warmth of wood with porcelain tiles highly rated performance, hardness and longevity is a definite winning combination.

The Par-ker tile doesn’t scratch, fade or warp and with a zero absorption rate it doesn’t stain or need refinishing, furthermore Porcelanosa manufactures versions with antislip surfaces ideal for use in wet zones such as bathrooms and kitchen which is why this tile is the newest trend to emerge this year.

ROMAN

Windows & Doors Wood is Román Clavero’s passion – and creating innovative, high-quality carpentry products has been their business for three decades.

From doors of the future to customised accessories, they offer the latest in components and design. In this interview, Marcos Oliver Román Ocaña explains how Román Clavero have mastered all the process stages to ensure a fast and effective service, cutting-edge design prototypes, and enduring, high-performance products.

What were the company’s beginnings?

It was founded in 1979 by José Luis Román Clavero.

What are the basic principles behind the company?

Above all else, the quality of our products and meticulous clientservice. We use the most innovative technology in the market in order to be able to offer a practical product, and optimum results, without losing even a tiny shred of the charm and natural beauty of wood – while also taking special care with every design detail to create an exclusive product for each client.

198 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Another very important basic principle for the company is our guarantee and after-sales service. All Román W&D products are made from the highest quality materials and objects available in the market, strictly in accordance with European Union quality norms (EN) and labels (CE).

How would you summarise the market at present and how you fit into this market?

The current market is very difficult, bearing in mind the overall economic situation. In general, sales of our kinds of products are mainly to the Russian market and clients from the Nordic countries, as well as the Arab market, not to mention Britons and the rest of Europe – they have always sustained our local economy. We mostly cater for the top end of the market, those with high spending power, and they demand exceptional quality, design and exclusivity.

We fit into that market perfectly, as our services and products are aimed specifically at that kind of market: it’s very familiar territory.

To that end, in spite of the delicate situation society is going through at the moment, our company has made a strong commitment to the future. We have a large showroom in Puerto Banús, where clients can check out a wide range of the products and styles we manufacture – an excellent facility for us as well as for architects and clients.

What are the inspirations and influences behind your work?

Latest generation German technology and meticulous selection of materials. Our influences range from styles highlighted by pure and refined lines, geometric shapes and art deco to neo-classical, new rustic and even neobaroque. In addition, we create exclusive designs for clients if a project requires it.

What is your vision for the company and tell us more about your passions?

Román Clavero Windows & Doors is a company with a sound future, and our priorities are to improve from day to day and to position ourselves as a market leader in Spain, while expanding our frontiers and promoting our products outside our borders, with exports to other countries. Our passion is wood. We make products using other materials, such as aluminium and bronze, but always ensuring wood remains the main protagonist. And, of course, our main passion is our clients NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

What are your thoughts about modern architecture in Marbella and how are you involved?

In recent years we have been witnessing a change in trends. Previously it was very rare to see projects that were different from the Costa del Sol’s traditional architecture: that is, Andalucian or rustic style grilles, windows and doors with shutters, staves, nails, etc. Only occasionally did a “different” more modern project emerge. Few of us knew then that they were just the first ones to be following a trend towards “cubic”, architecture: flat roofs and ceilings, straight lines, aluminium wood windows, pure and refined lines simple homes with modular designs. Now this has become the current trend, and it’s no longer strange to see these kinds of projects.

Our company has been able to adapt to this style with such new products as our 0 Line, passageway doors up to three metres high, made without cover plates or flashing, and with frames level with the wall and hidden hinges; aluminiumwood windows, our IV-88 Mira and IV-88 Mira Therm Series; and finger-jointed entrance doors

How do you see the future of modern architecture (particularly in Marbella)?

Our personal opinion is that we are going to see two diametrically opposed architectural styles. In accordance with the current market there will be projects featuring “cubic” architecture, and we will probably start to see neo-classical and neo-baroque.

It’s already the trend in interior decoration and we wouldn’t be surprised soon to see projects for houses with large Greekstyle columns – and consequently that style will also find its way into carpentry. It is important to offer personalised architectural projects and, to that end, also provide completely adaptable carpentry services, not just aesthetically (shape, varnishes and ironwork) but also technically, with constructive solutions for any difficulties that might arise in a specific project.

These kinds of projects that are being undertaken now, and in the future, are a long way from the carpentry products produced to scale, and at low cost, for major apartment and house developments built in Marbella in previous years – before the current crisis.

What does a “home” represent to you?

An extension of the personal nature and manner of those living there…. a comfortable place that invites you to live in it.

Finally…

We would just like to add that, throughout the years since Román Clavero Windows & Doors was established, the company has been able to adapt to changes in architectural styles, and adapt to Marbella’s current market – in which clients with high spending power are the ones setting the trends.

We also cover all our work-installed products with a one-year complete guarantee, covering repairs or replacements for faulty pieces or components, with no labour or home-visit costs for clients.

The real wood veneer found in the furniture such as the tall cabinet or the full length mirror features a unique grain pattern (Walnut Veneer or Ash Black). The freestanding QuarylÂŽ bath resembles an impressive monolith, uniting a delicate design with strength (optional stainless steel frame).

The fine TitanCeram used in the washbasins as well as the brilliant shiny QuarylÂŽ in the baths add a touch of graceful lightness and combined with the polished stainless steel, elegant marble and exquisite wood elevate Antheus to a timeless modern design highlight.

COPENHAGEN EnErgy-EfficiEnt modular housE Area: 223 m2 Year: 2015 Photograper: Egor Piaskovsky Art-director: Maxim Maximenko (right) of design studio Nota Bene Target: to develop an architecture project of a residential building, employing the technology of wood-frame house construction.

Nowadays the world-leading tendencies in architecture and interior design are such principles as: modularity, energy-efficiency, ergonomics, environmental friendliness and aesthetics. Design studio Nota Bene has implemented these principles in of the latest projects, which is built in Minsk, Belarus.

Nota Bene has developed the interior design, the architecture project of the building, and the construction project. In addition to creating concepts, the author participated in the implementation, so everything conceived, has become a reality, and the building continued 118 days only. Everything was made under the management of Nota Bene Studio –from biological cleaning of the facilities to the connection of all modern communications (including fiber-optical communication and access control systems).

COPENHAGEN The philosophy of home is the simplicity of the lines. Based on how the owners feel the space and internal logistics of the house, the architects of the studio chose the enfilade system of the plan. It means long spatial axis made up of a series of openings between rooms that all align. Design Studio placed living and household areas, SPA and drive under one roof. Style and image are embodied in each detail: the facade is made from several materials - concrete, vented panels and blocks made of noble larch are assembled under falz roof covering, subsided on one of the walls.

This helps to visually unite and take away numerous structures of the site, moreover, to save time for home logistics movements. It is contemporary ergonomics of living space.

The house has been designed for suburban life and family rest. Therefore, Nota Bene used the Danish style as a starting point. The regular geometric shapes of the modular house create the effect of minimalism. Associatively, the name of the project is “Copenhagen”, a simple but neat and charming Scandinavian

space appeared. At the same time, the author of the project Maxim Maximenko added the house its individuality and character.

There is a pine forest directly in front of the house, which undoubtedly complements the image of the entire ensemble and emphasizes Scandinavian motifs in the author’s idea. The windows and terrace - all the architectural elements of the personal residential complex allows owners feel free and not limited in space, with their eyes always directed inward - nothing comes out. The concept of light and air allows residents to enjoy the harmony of suburban life and forget about the city bustle.

The frame house “Copenhagen” is a stylish example of modern modular houses and architecture. The facade of the house emphasizes the uniqueness and style of the project - a seamed roof with a minimum angle of inclination, which smoothly passes to one of the walls. To date, this type of buildings is very relevant and in demand in Europe.

Life in the house, the penetration of light and warmth, the view from the windows and landscaping - everything is thoroughly planned and organized on internal life scenarios of house hosts. The house is beautiful, so there is no sense to hide such a wonder behind a broad fence, this is why the author has planned and created a barrier that gives passers-by an opportunity to enjoy modern architecture. Gabion columns are filled with gravel - simple and stylish solution.

The house is a high-grade and stylish example of modern architecture with several trend details: minimal roof slope, various types of sustainable building materials, “smart” self-control system. In addition, one of the features of frame houses is energy efficiency. There is a parking for electric cars, energyefficient ventilation. There are almost no radiators - the house is heated using floor heating and climate control instruments.

Nota Bene is a design studio located in Minsk (Belarus) offering qualified solutions in the fields of architecture and interior design worldwide.
