Architecture and housing refurbishment in V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga<\/strong> have specific traits. As capital of the Axarqu\u00eda area of M\u00e1laga<\/strong> and a residential reference of the eastern Costa del Sol<\/strong>, the municipality combines a historic core, contemporary developments around Torre del Mar and a consolidated stock of villas and single-family houses with clear room for improvement. At Klic Arquitectos we approach each refurbishment or new build in V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga<\/strong> from a careful reading of the plot and the existing house, and from a frank conversation with the owner about what to keep and what is worth transforming or extending.<\/p>

Five keys to a residential project in V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga<\/h2>

1. Reading the plot and the existing house<\/h3>

For new builds we work the orientation, views (sea and Axarqu\u00eda mountains), wind and slope. For refurbishments we start from an honest analysis of what is built: structural loads we can release, partitions that are surplus, services to renew and parts of the building worth keeping.<\/p>

2. Refurbishment with detailed extension<\/h3>

Many existing villas in the area allow a measured extension that completes the programme without disfiguring the original piece. A new volume, a porch, an additional bedroom, an open day area: the detailed extension is a powerful design tool when executed with judgement.<\/p>

3. Regulations: PGOU and CTE<\/h3>

We work within the V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga PGOU and the Andalusian building regulations. Compliance with the Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE-DB-HE energy efficiency, DB-SI fire safety, DB-SUA safety in use and accessibility, DB-HS hygiene, DB-HR noise protection) is central, also in refurbishments when overall compliance is affected and in extensions that require a permit.<\/p>

4. Programme: living the villa with light and outdoors<\/h3>

Open day area connected with the outside, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, secondary bedrooms with good light and efficient service areas. The interior-exterior transition (porch, terrace, pool, Mediterranean garden) is a protagonist in the eastern Costa del Sol climate.<\/p>

5. Interior design coherent with the architecture<\/h3>

Interior design is not added at the end as decoration: it is part of the project from the first conversation. Warm palettes, occasional singular pieces (natural-fibre lamps, a freestanding bath, a sculptural staircase) and attention to detail distinguish a careful refurbishment from a mere build.<\/p>

Refurbishment and rehabilitation in V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga<\/h2>

V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga and its surroundings (Torre del Mar, Caleta de V\u00e9lez, Almayate) have a residential stock from the 1980s-1990s with clear room for improvement: energy refurbishment of envelopes, services upgrades, accessibility improvements (DB-SUA), extensions, programme rethinking and full refurbishment with interior design. We support owners and investors through these processes.<\/p>
