Interior design in El Higuerón
El Higuerón and Higuerón West are mostly recent construction: good volumes, generous glazing, and a developer specification that rarely matches how owners want to live. Our work here is less about demolition and more about editing — layout adjustments, joinery, lighting and a furniture plan that respects the view.
Where the value sits in a new build
In a newly delivered villa or apartment the structure is sound, so effort goes where it is felt daily: storage that actually holds a family's belongings, a kitchen that works for cooking rather than photographs, lighting that can be dimmed for evenings, and surfaces that behave in strong coastal light.
We produce a revised plan, joinery drawings and a full material and lighting schedule, then coordinate the trades and suppliers needed to execute it.
Designing for the view
Almost every property here is oriented towards the sea. Seating heights are kept low so sightlines stay open, and the palette is muted so the horizon remains the strongest element in the room.
The terrace is planned at the same time as the interior, with continuity of colour, material and lighting so the two spaces are not two different houses.
If you are buying off-plan
Being involved before handover lets us adjust electrical and lighting positions, revise the kitchen layout and swap finishes at cost rather than reworking them afterwards.
We coordinate with the developer's team on your behalf and keep a record of what was agreed, so the unit you receive is the one that was specified.

How we work
The process, step by step.
Consultation
We review the floor plan and developer specification and agree what is worth changing before handover.
Concept and drawings
Revised layout, joinery details, lighting plan, material samples and renders of the main rooms.
Specification and budget
Every item is scheduled and priced, with lead times noted, so the budget is clear before ordering.
Coordination
We liaise with the developer or contractor, place orders and track production and shipping.
Installation
Delivery is consolidated, everything is installed and styled, and the property is handed over ready to use.
Project examples
Two case studies from El Higuerón and Higuerón West — one villa, one penthouse — showing how the same approach adapts to different volumes.
Questions
Frequently asked
- Can you change the developer's standard specification?
- Often yes, if we are involved before completion. Kitchen layouts, joinery, flooring, lighting positions and bathroom finishes are the items most worth revisiting.
- Is it better to start before or after handover?
- Before, when possible. Changes made while the unit is still being built cost less than reworking finished rooms, and lighting and electrical positions can still be moved.
- Do you furnish the apartment as well as design it?
- Yes. We specify and order the furniture, joinery, lighting and textiles, manage lead times and deliveries, and install and style the property before you arrive.
- How do you handle terraces?
- We treat the terrace as a room: shade, lighting, outdoor furniture and planting are planned with the same palette as the interior so the two read as one space.
