Description
An interior courtyard is a rare thing in a beachfront apartment, and it is the detail that gives this residence its character.
UNO Beach Residences occupies the former El Ancón site, the last remaining beachfront parcel on Marbella's Golden Mile, moments from the Puente Romano resort. Conceived by CTH Capital with architecture by Tobal Arquitectos, the scheme arranges its residences in low, horizontal blocks that step down towards the shore, so that the buildings read as terraces in a garden rather than as a wall along the beach. Walking the site, what registers first is the quiet. Mature planting screens the approach, sea view corridors draw the eye through to the water, and the whole estate sits behind a single gated entrance with a manned drop off. It is a development that has been designed to be arrived at slowly.
The plan is organised around two sources of light. On the garden side, the lounge, dining and kitchen volume opens through full height glazing to a terrace and a private pool, with planting beyond. On the opposite flank, a planted courtyard brings daylight into the second bedroom and the office, rooms that in a conventional apartment plan would face a corridor. The result is a residence where every habitable room has a genuine outlook.
The master suite occupies the far end of the plan, comprising bedroom, dressing room and bathroom arranged in sequence and separated from the reception rooms by the entrance hall. A second bedroom with its own bathroom and an office give three sleeping rooms. Laundry and guest cloakroom are placed off the hall. A private lower level holds a games room, storage, a cloakroom and garaging for two cars.
The garden is among the more generous of the ground floor plans and is planted for privacy without shading the terrace. This is a residence that will suit a buyer who wants beachfront living without the exposure that usually comes with it.
Materials and systems follow the estate specification throughout. Bulthaup kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, Dornbracht brassware, Schüco glazing with thermal break and solar control, underfloor heating, aerothermal climate control and Lutron domotics.
