A single-storey house opening south, with pronounced eaves, dark joinery and a porch that in summer becomes the most-used room. Casa Bona is a detached home in Pinos de Alhaur\u00edn, Alhaur\u00edn de la Torre (M\u00e1laga): a new-build house with garden and pool on a 1,381 m\u00b2 plot. The brief carried a question that comes before any drawing \u2014 what ordinance N6-4 of the local plan (PGOU<\/em>) actually allowed on that plot. The preliminary design closed in February 2020 with the answer in writing.<\/p>\n

A detached home in Pinos de Alhaur\u00edn: the plot and ordinance N6-4<\/h2>\n

The file opens on 12 February 2020 with the least glamorous part of the job: reading the paperwork. The cadastral extract (consulta descriptiva y gr\u00e1fica<\/em>) giving 1,381 m\u00b2 of plot area, ordinance N6-4 of the Alhaur\u00edn de la Torre local plan, planning classification sheet 40\/41, and the earlier planning framework it replaced (NNSS<\/em>), in case anything from the previous regime still bore on the land. Drawing comes after that, not before. This is where buyers tend to get caught out: the plot\u2019s own planning sheet decides what can be built, not the sales brochure.<\/p>\n

The first decision to come out of it was one of size. The design uses 171.87 m\u00b2 of buildable area. On 1,381 m\u00b2 of land that leaves most of the plot open, which is the intention. The garden and the pool are part of the programme, not the space left over between the fence and the front wall.<\/p>\n

The house: 174.27 m\u00b2 built, plus a 13 m\u00b2 porch<\/h2>\n

The day-to-day programme sits on the ground floor, opening south. A 27.88 m\u00b2 living room, a 14.28 m\u00b2 dining room and an 8.09 m\u00b2 kitchen run in sequence towards the garden. Two bedrooms, 16.28 and 10.57 m\u00b2, sit in the quieter band, with two bathrooms of 4.67 m\u00b2 each and a 1.54 m\u00b2 utility room. Between house and garden there is a 13.06 m\u00b2 covered porch, which in Alhaur\u00edn de la Torre is the most-used room from June to September.<\/p>\n

That adds up to 161.21 m\u00b2 enclosed plus the porch: 174.27 m\u00b2 built and 135.93 m\u00b2 of usable floor area. The envelope combines pale mineral render, pronounced eaves and dark joinery, in an updated Mediterranean language: shade where it is needed, and a low silhouette that does not compete with the pines.<\/p>\n

The outside was measured as carefully as the inside, because that is where a build quietly gets away from you: 25.00 m\u00b2 of water surface in the pool, 100 m\u00b2 of specialist external paving and 260 linear metres of boundary fencing. The design was modelled and rendered in-house, and the February 2020 image was produced before the appointment was proposed rather than after it. Someone deciding on a house should be looking at the house.<\/p>\n

Where the project stopped<\/h2>\n

The timescales offered were four weeks for the planning-stage design (proyecto b\u00e1sico<\/em>) and six for the construction documents (proyecto de ejecuci\u00f3n<\/em>). The design stopped at preliminary stage. If you are weighing up a plot in the Guadalhorce Valley, a preliminary design is a sensible first step \u2014 get in touch with the studio<\/a> and we will start with the planning sheet for your plot.<\/p>\n
