Apartments on Costa del Sol transform into a minimalist Mediterranean oasis with microcement, natural wood and Scandinavian elegance.

Stepping into this serene apartment on Costa del Sol, one might think they've entered a modern Ibizan villa. Thanks to masterfully executed restoration, the interior was reimagined using microcement flooring, natural wooden surfaces and an open layout that blurs the line between apartments and private retreat.

Merging Mediterranean Calm with Scandinavian Clarity

The foundation of this design lies in materials. Microcement, a smooth and durable surface, brings a modern and refined look to the space, while natural wood adds warmth and tactile contrast. This material combination not only strengthens the visual style but also enhances durability—perfect for a low-maintenance vacation home.

Interior design follows the Scandinavian principle, where less means more. Furniture is minimal but carefully chosen: sturdy, comfortable and selected to complement rather than dominate. Rustic and ethnic accents—woven elements, organic ceramics and neutral textiles—add soul and history within a minimalist framework.

"This Mediterranean style is reimagined—not through blue-white clichés—but via natural finishes, breathable textures and seamless functionality." — Interior Design Editor, ArchitectureArtDesigns.com

Eternal, Simple and Designed for Relaxation

The main goal of the owners was to create an eternal vacation home that requires minimal upkeep. The combination of microcement and wood, known for their durability and low maintenance cost, ensures the space remains preserved with minimal effort—ideal for a second home meant not for work but for relaxation.

Harmony Inside and Out with Zellige Character

The design flows seamlessly into the outdoor terrace, where the Mediterranean spirit blooms. A soulful Zellige hand-glazed Moroccan tile adds color and craftsmanship to the exterior— a standout corner that brings artisanal charm to modern decor. These glossy irregular tiles beautifully reflect sunlight and pay homage to the North African region's influence.

Apartments or Private Villa?

The transformation is so profound that guests often mistake it for a standalone house. With its villa-like openness, minimalist elegance and thoughtful material selection, these Costa del Sol apartments become a benchmark for those looking to refresh Mediterranean style with substance and flair.
