Sotogrande-based Architect firm ARK Arkitects have gained a fantastic reputation for fusing modern and Classic architecture with breathtaking results. Their latest creation, “Villa Morera” in the prestigious La Reserva de Sotogrande, is a prime example of how they have earned this recognition.
One of ARK’s main aims is to build harmoniously with the natural environment. Consequently, Villa Morera, a stunning display of modern and avant-garde design, sits on top of one of Sotogrande’s most exclusive areas and follows the landscape’s natural contours. This unique and intimate villa is elegant and serene, built on a 2,970 square-metre plot; it boasts two swimming pools and is surrounded by exquisitely manicured gardens. Even the foliage is striking with lemonade berry and cypress trees already planted so that the property is in full bloom from day one.
The team behind the Villa Morera build relentlessly pursue perfection, and this is evident in every detail, from the architecture, landscaping to the interior design. The project is probably one of ARK’s most original, with more than 1,000 square-metres of contemporary features using nothing but the best in materials and craftsmanship. The glass walls and the impressive array of materials include marble flooring, Iroko wood, Arabic tiling, stucco and natural stone.
The interior is simply beautiful with crisp lines and bright open spaces with no visual barriers, giving the impression that the house is perched literally on the water’s edge, even though the sea is around four kilometres away. A comfortable and spacious open-plan living room and dining room leads to a covered terrace, where the interior and exterior become one. The floor-to-ceiling glass allows light and colour to flood the villa as well as maximising the views of the garden and Mediterranean sea. For the cook of the home, there is an open-plan gourmet kitchen with the finest appliances and the ultimate in domotics.
On the lower floor there is a wine cellar, home cinema room and spa with a hydro-massage indoor swimming pool, Turkish bath and sauna which merges with the outdoor relaxation area and heated infinity pool. On the top floor there is an office along with three of the five bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, private terraces and views to soak up the surroundings. The exquisite master bedroom and en-suite boasts polished marble counters, a hydro-massage bathtub and an enormous dressing room.
Stunning it may be, but the company knows that true luxury is not about being “flash”, it’s about warmth and harmony. Part of that comes from the privacy and peace that the villa brings, and the comforting amenities such as heated floors, air-conditioning and double-glazing. But to the impassioned team at ARK, it comes down to the creation of harmony, where architecture, landscape, exterior and interior design merge into one to create a perfect oasis.
All of this beauty and perfection is built around one truism: that nothing can compete with the natural beauty surrounding this property which is why the designers made sure that the villa faces the sunrise with spectacular views in every room of the sweeping Mediterranean, and perhaps even better, there is enough space to enjoy it.
