Villa El Cantal

The vision

A volume of perforated corten steel, floating above the hillside like a bridge between earth and sky. The living roof dissolves the boundary between architecture and landscape, while the structure opens entirely to the garden below.

Key features
Living green roof
The entire roof is a continuation of the hillside, planted with native grasses and Mediterranean species, invisible from above.
Corten steel facade
Perforated weathering steel panels filter light and shadow, creating a living facade that evolves with the seasons.
Floating structure
The main volume floats above the natural slope, preserving the terrain and mature trees beneath.
Indoor-outdoor living
Full-height glazing and retractable walls dissolve the boundary between the interior and the garden terrace.
Infinity pool
Integrated into the hillside with views toward the Mediterranean, appearing to merge with the landscape below.
Natural rock integration
Existing rock formations are preserved and incorporated into the garden design, anchoring the house to its site.

Crafted by award-winning architects

Flow81
Villa El Cantal is designed entirely by Flow81, an award-winning experiential architecture lab based in Málaga founded by Arregui & Merino. They have shared the podium with Pritzker Prize legends like Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid, and Tadao Ando.
Their structures are born from the terrain itself. Architecture, interiors and landscape are conceived as one - spaces that reconnect with nature and engage all five senses. Every project rejects standardized design.

The new luxury

Perched on Monte de Malaga with sweeping views across the city and the Mediterranean, Villa El Cantal occupies one of the most privileged positions in Malaga Este.

The site sits within Pinares de San Anton, a protected residential enclave surrounded by century-old pine forests. 24-hour security, a private tennis club and a private social club create a self-contained world of calm.

The centre of Malaga is 10 minutes away. The Mediterranean is 5 minutes away. The airport is 20 minutes.
