Duquesa apartment CONVERSION

M

J Lancley recently completed an apartment conversion in Duquesa.

The clients remit was to turn two out dated apartments into one large modern home.

Our team went to work demolishing existing walls to open up the space and create a free flowing open plan area.

The clients consulted with our design team to choose the kitchen, bathrooms, finishes and furniture resulting in a seamless design and build.

This project came in on time and on budget, ourselves and the clients are very happy with the results.

IVAN COSTENOBLE Architect Architect of Belgian origin with more than 20 years experience in Spain, Ivan directs the architecture studio Mansion Design.

His studio was born out of the desire to transmit the quality of life of the Costa del Sol through the architectural projects he shares with his clients.

Ivan plays with the architecture styles that best fit his client’s tastes: contemporary, classic, modern, rustic Andalusian... always integrating these projects in their environment, taking into account our envied climate, landscape and nature.

Los Monteros

Having lived in several countries where he received an academic formation and enjoyed a cosmopolitan professional experience, Ivan had the opportunity to learn several languages (Spanish, French, English, German...) and to have a growing demand of projects worldwide.

Nevertheless Marbella always remained his favourite place for the numerous qualities Marbella has.

An alternative to air conditioning

N

ow that winter is over its time to start thinking about the summer months and about air conditioning. Now is the time to either to have your air conditioning unit serviced or a new one installed. However, if you’ve had a quote on air-conditioning recently, you’ll know how expensive – some might say exorbitant – it can be.

You won’t get much change from a grand to have even a small 1.7kW split-system wall unit supplied and fitted, and that will only have the capacity to service a small bedroom - a very small bedroom at that. Ducted air conditioning is even more of an eye-opener; and can run into the thousands (depending on the brand and the air conditioning company). Then, on top of the purchase price and installation charges, there’s the high cost of actually running and maintaining an air conditioning system.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an alternative...

Well there is!

One system to consider could be solar ventilators.

These work by expelling all the built up hot air from your roof cavity (and because hot air rises, subsequently your home) and drawing in the cooler outside air. They feature a built-in thermostat that automatically kicks in when the temperature reaches 25 degrees and shuts off when it drops to a more bearable 22 degrees.

They are also highly efficient, whisper quiet and only operate when you need them most…when the sun is blazing down on your roof. And the best thing is that they are completely powered by the sun, so say goodbye to excessive electricity bills!

Thinking Inside the Box A New Urban Living Trend

I

nnovation architecture and forward thinking has changed the humble shipping container into not just affordable housing solutions - but a new contemporary way of life Shipping Container Home construction has become one of the biggest home and office construction trends globally. Since 2005 shipping containers began to appear in many news stories in the U.S, Canada, UK, Netherlands, China, Australia, New Zealand, and much of Europe. Shipping container construction has become popular for not only homes, but for offices, hotels, student housing, safe rooms, and emergency shelters.

The original interest began when the world realized that shipping containers were stacking up in the ports of every major city in the world. In the United States alone the estimate was nearly 1 million in 2005. After much publicity and interest, the total in the U.S. is said to have dropped to about 500,000 by the end of 2007. Similar decreases have been seen in many other countries also. It is well known that the rapid growth of manufacturing in China and the global thirst by virtually country for the lower priced, high technology products from China has given to happier consumers and lower prices globally, but the side effect has been the one-way shipping of all the containers bringing the products from China.

Through the efforts of many designers, builders and eco organizations, the surplus of shipping containers from China has diminished greatly. The result of two years of publicity and awareness has stimulated a growing trend to construct housing, offices, and apartments using the base of the standard Shipping Container. The exposure of the problem, combined with the incredible strength and ease of shipping container based construction has truly turned the problem into one of the fastest growing building trends globally

The strongest box In the world So what is this incredible box that faces wind, rain, salt, typhoons, extreme weight, dropping and bumping for years? The common ISO Shipping container is 20’ or 40’ long; 8’ wide; and 8’6” tall. The taller version named HQ, which means a High Cube (HQ) is the same dimensions but 1 foot taller. 20x8x9’6” or 40x8x9’6” – It is made of special stronger steel named Corten steel that won’t rust or corrode. It is mold resistant and is extremely adaptive to the most efficient Eco insulations.

So what can we do With this box?

The shipping container has grown in popularity across in Europe, UK, Australia, China, and the US since 2005and with price tag of €1000 - €2000 it’s easy to see why!

In Amsterdam and the UK, shipping container units have become popular structures for student housing and apartments since 2005.

At about the same time in the US, people like Adam Kalkin, Peter De Maria, and the Lo-tek company in New York began using the shipping container as contemporary art type homes.

The homes looked like shipping containers, but were designed in a very trendy way that was appealing to many.
