Marbella Sunset: new build apartment in Cabopino, Marbella

Porcelanosa tiles throughout, laid over sound insulation inside the home. The terraces and other outside floors, the bathrooms and the kitchen have non-slip tiles from the same maker.

A Free@home system controls the whole home. It dims the lights in the living room and the main bedroom, turns everything off from a single switch and works the electric blinds together. It has sensors for water leaks in the bathrooms and the kitchen, a smoke detector in the kitchen, and a screen with controls by the front door. It can be worked from a phone, a tablet or a computer.

Fitted by the kitchen maker BD, with Siemens appliances. The kitchen, living room and dining area share one open room of about 45 square metres.

Two bathrooms and a guest toilet, all fitted by Porcelanosa, with toilets fixed to the wall and matching taps and accessories.

Large windows open the living room onto the terrace. The front door is faced in upright strips of iroko wood, or similar, in a dark wengé colour, with a lock that bolts at several points and hidden hinges that resist being forced. The bedroom doors come in one of two finishes, a textured wood veneer or smooth white lacquer with hidden hinges.
