Luxury Coastal Homes in Cadaques and the Costa Brava

English speaking architect building luxury homes on the Costa Brava and Cadaques in difficult coastal contexts

With its breathtaking Mediterranean coastline, historic villages, and vibrant culture, the Costa Brava is attracting increasing interest from international buyers seeking luxury real estate. Building a home on the Costa Brava demands an architect who understands both the landscape and the legal complexities. The rugged cliffs offer breathtaking views and privacy, but also present unique challenges.

English-Speaking Architect in Cadaques

With over 15 years of experience in Cadaqués, I have in-depth knowledge of Catalan building regulations and a proven track record of securing planning permission in complex contexts. Our projects include a 49-home development and the transformation of a 9-bedroom estate on the private island of S’Arenella.

As a native English speaker fluent in Spanish, I eliminate the usual headaches of dealing with local suppliers and navigating building regulations in a foreign language. Based in Cadaqués and Dublin, I combine international expertise with local insight, providing a seamless experience for English-speaking clients.

We operate with complete transparency. Unlike some practices in Spain, we do not accept kickbacks or payments from builders, as this would create a conflict of interest, our commitment is solely to our clients.

Need an English-speaking architect to help you navigate spanish building regulations when building a luxury home on the Costa Brava?

Why Choose an English-Speaking Architect?

Building in Spain can be complex, especially if you’re unfamiliar with local regulations, language barriers, and construction processes. I simplify the process by:

  • Managing all aspects of design and construction while keeping communication clear and straightforward.
  • Navigating Spanish regulations and permits on your behalf.
  • Connecting you with top-tier builders and suppliers to ensure high-quality craftsmanship.
  • Providing remote project management so you can oversee your dream home from anywhere in the world.

Bespoke Design for Coastal Living

My approach to architecture on the Costa Brava focuses on creating homes that blend luxury, sustainability, and resilience. Each home is designed to:

  • Maximize sea views and natural light, enhancing the Mediterranean experience.
  • Incorporate passive design principles for comfort and energy efficiency.
  • Use premium materials suited to the coastal climate, ensuring durability and longevity.
  • Integrate privacy and security features, offering a retreat away from the world.
