Magna, Marbella
A Stunning Renovation With Stylish Roof Top Terraces
Having travelled a lot in their lives, this Swedish couple were ready to establish some roots on the coast just west of the pretty town of Marbella, albeit as a second home. Planning to spend only about 4 or 5 weeks a year here, their budget was certainly limited. As is often the case with our projects, the clients would not be able to spend too much time on the ground here in Spain perusing and choosing so they asked the team at ProMas Building to take the project right through from planning the re-design to finishing the property with fixtures, furniture and equipment. To help them make design choices whilst out of the country, our skilled team produced a variety of 3D images both internal and external. See example opposite.
The Brief
The brief tasked ProMas to complete a total refurbishment of the 40-year-old penthouse duplex, inside and out. Internally the décor throughout was tired, having stained marble flooring and dated kitchens and bathrooms. The layout needed some opening up. The walls enclosing the dark kitchen were knocked down in order to create a large bright open plan living space and this area was squared off and made larger still by incorporating part of the outside patio that was already at the same level as the internal space and re-positioning the steps. Upstairs we created a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite for the master bedroom.
Clean, Calm and Fresh
Our clients wanted a sleek clean finish, predominantly white but with an injection of colour through artwork and soft furnishings. The white high gloss flat panel kitchen set the tone for the open plan living space. Keeping the mood calm and fresh, our interior designers echoed the kitchen with a stunning oval dining table. Black velvet dining chairs added a touch of luxury. The contemporary leather sofas with chrome legs keep the look clean yet sumptuous. To break up the monochrome background, Katherine introduced shades of amethyst, mauve and plum in the form of a Persian rug, silk cushions, vases and candles. Bright magenta tropical flowers keep the space fun along with the client’s own artwork adding a fabulous pop of colour.
Drink In The View
Outside was dominated by old-fashioned terracotta tiles teamed with yellow paintwork. The two terraces offer fabulous views of the locally famous mountain, La Concha, and over Marbella and the coast line beyond yet they did not offer a relaxed or private space from which to enjoy the views alfresco. The terraces extending from the living area were given an overhaul, retiled and updated into an alfresco dining area and further along the terrace, a relaxing chill out area. On the roof terrace, we designed another chill out space but this time using a combination of built-in seating and standalone furniture. The monochrome palette was continued up here and the pièce de résistance is an outside shower area surrounded by lush greenery for privacy.

Catherine Catto12/08/2022There are not enough superlatives to describe how delighted I have been from start to finish in the work carried out by Promas and in all my dealings with them. They are in a league of their own as far as professionalism and integrity is concerned. Their standards are of the very highest and their work is exceptional. Andy leads by example and has treated our project as if it were on his own home. We have had many challenges which have been the legacy of previous inferior workmen. But Andy’s team have displayed huge commitment, resourcefulness, initiative and skill. They have turned a disaster zone into an outdoor leisure place of functionality and beauty. And all in record time and with complete attention to details and workmanship. I cannot recommend this company highly enough and would happily answer any questions if you need further clarification on any aspect of their work. They could not be beaten but don’t tell everyone as I won’t be using anyone else for future work so need them to have time to fit me in!
Anca Ursu05/08/2022La mejor compañía de construcción y design en la Costa del sol . Andy es un expero con muchos años de experiencia y un equipo muy bueno para convertir su proyecto en un lugar de enseño.
Yuri H25/07/2022As an investor in real estate I had chosen Promas as the main contractor for a big renovation project of a Villa in Elviria and I am very happy to have made that decision. Andy and his team are really professionals. You can clearly see that Andy is fully involved in the project, has loads of experience and passing by almost every day to make sure all is going according to plan. Aside that, which I think within construction is unique, he never told me no or that’s not possible or no we can’t change the plans. Instead each time I requested a change of plans we easily found solutions to make it happen. So Promas thinks in your benefit, not in theirs. Finally and probably most important is that Promas finish the project completely, instead of running to the next project and leaving with some loose ends. So if you are looking for a construction company I can assure you that you won’t regret choosing for Promas. Thanks again Andy and the team!
Mike Knivett22/06/2022So impressed with the service and quality of workmanship from Andy and his team at Promas. I got various quotes for the construction work at my villa near Marbella but by far away Andy was the most professional. Very pleased with the result of the work and I would happily recommend them to anyone on the coast.

Álvaro Jiménez Camino11/12/2020Promas are a great building company. They are honest hardworking people and do an excellent job on all the homes I've seen, and on time and on budget. They also do fantastic interior designs and 3d models. Highly recommended!
martin kibler12/11/2020We had the pleasure of using Promas Construction to totally remodel our 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom apartment in Reserva Alcuzcuz. We found Andy Promas and his team to be excellent and responsive. We set them a tight timetable for the work it was vitally important to us that they delivered, both on time and on budget. They passed this fundamental test with flying colours We were always kept informed of progress via a weekly video which was very reassuring. Andy really cares about his clients and his reputation. He deserves to be highly respected amongst his peers! The end result is excellent and much envied by friends and neighbours.
Graeme Glass01/11/2020Promas building provided an absolutely outstanding service from beginning to end. The communication was exceptional throughout the project and they were responsive to changes in the planning and execution of the work. All design, building, electrical, plumbing and tiling work was done on time and to a high standard and I am delighted with the results. Most importantly, they seem to have a genuine passion for what they do and go to quite extraordinary lengths to ensure they exceed the clients expectations. I could not recommend them highly enough.
joanne bayliss23/10/2020I have used Promas to do two large remodelling projects. Both time I have found the service professional and the end result is always of a very high standard. Andy is always quick to respond and I would not hesitate in recommending Promas for any building project big or small.
