TV MJ Lancley provide a bespoke build and interior design service. It’s essential that our clients get the maximum benefit from any modification made to their home. M J Lancley specifically design each project to satisfy individual needs and wishes. Formed eight years ago in Gibraltar. Our clients include the Government of Gibraltar the Ministry of Defence, local businesses and private clients. In March 2015 MJL decided to expand into the Spanish Market as reports showed that construction was gathering pace along the coast. We are happy to say its been full steam ahead and we have carried out many projects large and small in the last 7 months.
We have found our professional and methodical approach has proved a real success with clients. Our clients come first. Customer service is paramount. We offer options on design via scaled drawings and once these are confirmed, electrical and plumbing positions will be agreed, furnishings and fittings will be discussed incorporating any individually tailored options when necessary. Before the works start clients will know exactly where everything is going and what the finished project will look like. We can accommodate the most demanding of projects to the smallest. Our trained professional team carry out contracts in Spain and Gibraltar. Our portfolio of past
and current projects is extensive. Testimonials and references are provided so that our clients will have peace of mind before their project begins. MJL know that it can be a big decision in choosing a contractor for your build and thats why we have in place a ‘live’ reference service, where potential clients can visit ongoing projects to see ‘first hand’ the quality of our works and how our current clients perceive us. We undertake all aspects of construction work using our 40+ employees who are trained, contracted and insured. Call us today to arrange a meeting with one of our specialist designers.

IVAN COSTENOBLE Architect Architect of Belgian origin with more than 20 years experience in Spain, Ivan directs the architecture studio Mansion Design. His studio was born out of the desire to transmit the quality of life of the Costa del Sol through the architectural projects he shares with his clients. Ivan plays with the architecture styles that best fit his client’s tastes: contemporary, classic, modern, rustic Andalusian... always integrating these projects in their environment, taking into account our envied climate, landscape and nature.
Los Monteros
Having lived in several countries where he received an academic formation and enjoyed a cosmopolitan professional experience, Ivan had the opportunity to learn several languages (Spanish, French, English, German...) and to have a growing demand of projects worldwide. Nevertheless Marbella always remained his favourite place for the numerous qualities Marbella has.

BUILDING CONTRACTORS
O
ur clients who are property investors and designers wanted to transform a tired looking penthouse into a modern and chic Scandinavian style apartment.
BEFORE
BEFORE
Challenges
Sticking to a tight budget and restricted access to bring in all the materials. The clients wanted to achieve a more open plan effect to enjoy the most beautiful sea view and golf course from the kitchen, living room and even the entrance. We achieved this by knocking down dividing walls and fitting large bifold windows and doors. The living room window opens up to expose 5m of breathtaking views and brightens the whole living space. With the creative ideas of our client, we laid beautiful wooden flooring which we imported from Belgium, original tiles in the entrance and fitted some very smart bathrooms.
AFTER
Favourite The wooden flooring throughout and the Decton worktops in the kitchen and bathrooms which add a beautiful and luxurious element.
Testimonial from our client: We are very happy with the cooperation with ProMas, who executed our ideas and wants in a very satisfying way. Communication is a very important factor for a good result, and Andy kept us updated through the whole process. We can highly recommend ProMas, and we are looking forward to working with them again.

OVE over McMansion… the micro home is now the coolest kid in town . Gone are the days of giant, mass-produced eyesores; today’s trendy home is mini and mobile. Miniature homes have become such a phenomenon they are actually fuelling a tiny house movement across the world. So why are micro homes becoming so popular? Cost, for one, is a big selling point. Building a tiny home usually stays within the €20K to €40K price range and often costs even less for those interested in building parts of it themselves.
TIN Y HOMES FOR ECO ADVENTURERS Rental income opportunities aside, most tiny home owners buy them to live in. It gives them access to a lifestyle that just isn’t possible in a traditional house. For adventurous types, attach your tiny home to your vehicle and use it to travel the country. Another big draw of living in a miniature house is a reduced environmental impact. Tiny homes are incredibly efficient, needing little water or electricity; they also cost less to maintain, renovate and furnish. Moreover, they tend to be built with environmentfriendly materials. A number of homeowners choose to go off-the-grid altogether, installing solar panels to their roof. Since the average micro home only has six light bulbs, creating enough electricity is easy. Other eco-friendly options include green rooftops, grey water recycling, even windpowered generators. Living in such a small space means you consume less and create a smaller carbon footprint – but the downside composting toilets can take some getting used to.
LIVE SMALL AND BE HAPPY The rise of the MICRO HOME the next big thing TINY HOME, BIG PROFIT Timing is another big factor in the micro home’s rise in popularity. The number of tiny homes grew in leaps and bounds shortly after the last real estate crash, when millions of people simply couldn’t afford to keep and maintain their homes so they simply had to walk away. Not willing to give up the idea of homeownership, some embraced the tiny house. Millennials, who saw the aftereffects of the housing crash, are also attracted to these unconventional dwellings. Living full-time in a tiny house isn’t for everyone and some traditional homeowners use a micro house in addition to their own home. Some use it for guest quarters, others use it for travel. If not needed for personal use, micro homes can be rented out on Airbnb and can bring in additional income.
BACK TO BASICS For most micro home owners, the biggest draw was the concept of living simply. With such a small space to live in, homeowners are forced to pare down their belongings to the essentials. There’s no room for collections of trinkets, tons of clothes or fancy kitchen appliances. It may seem bare-bone and deprived to the craft fair regular or hoarder, but it can be quite liberating. No need to accumulate stuff, clean stuff or upgrade stuff… there’s just no room for stuff. What surprises many micro home dwellers is the shift in perspective it creates. They no longer need to pay for expensive housing or see the point of spending on the latest i-gadgets or the newest status symbol. Before long, they are asking themselves why they work so hard! Cutting costs and needing less gives them more freedom. Tiny home owners get to save more of their hard-earned cash, cut back on their work hours, or even retire early from their more traditional careers. It also means no more keeping up with the Joneses. Unless, of course, the Joneses are also trekking across the country in their micro home.
