VILLA ALBORADA nestled in hillside with stone and wood design

ALBORADA

Countryside retreat

Project Facts

LA ALBORADA is a refined hillside retreat in La Zagaleta – Benahavís, where natural stone, wood and native landscape are woven into the architectural language.
Conceived as a gentle insertion into the terrain, the project dissolves the boundary between domestic life and nature through low volumes, textured materials and a serene relationship with the surrounding landscape.

La Alborada is a contemporary hillside residence in La Zagaleta, Benahavís, designed to feel rooted in its setting through stone, timber and native Mediterranean planting. The architecture follows the natural topography with calm, understated volumes that open towards distant views while preserving privacy and a strong sense of retreat. More than a villa, it is conceived as a landscape-led home where architecture, materiality and nature form a single quiet experience.
