Few houses.
Built well.

A boutique architecture practice, by design. I take on a limited number of turnkey homes each year, those I can lead personally, on the ground, from the first sketch to the day you receive the keys. Never more than that.

WHY SO FEW?

Because I lead every project personally. Site visits, drawings, builder negotiation, quarterly check-ins. The intake is capped at what I can carry without delegating any of that.

You come with a parcel or without one, and I find it for you, off-market. Then I design, permit, build and hand over the keys: one contract, one person accountable, on a budget and a timeline agreed in writing before we sign.

Two profiles I build for most often: families building a home their children will inherit, and couples designing the last home they will move into. The house is different for each. The commitment is the same.

01 Families with young children

A house that grows
with your children.

Designed for a family that plans to be in this house for the next twenty years. Not a starter home, not a rental yield, a house that becomes the address your children remember.

Bedrooms, patios and circulation that adapt as children grow up and move around the plan
Passive-first design: low-consumption envelope, cross-ventilation, minimal running costs
A written budget and timeline before construction, honoured in writing
Built to be inherited, not to be sold in five years

02 Couples · 60 and beyond

The last house
you will move into.

Designed for a couple that wants a home built for how they will actually live in it, from day one, not one adapted later when adapting becomes difficult and expensive.

Universal accessibility from day one, single-storey layouts available on request
A house that maintains itself: low-consumption, low-touch, sober domotics only where they earn their place
Materials chosen for a low operating cost over the next thirty years
Discreet, quiet, unshowy, for the people who choose to age in the house they built

Two-year post-completion service covering snag-list, warranty coordination and any remedials.

Since 1980

My father opened the practice on the Costa Blanca in 1980. Since then AMORES has designed and built residential, hospitality and mixed-use work up and down this coast. What is now the developer arm of the firm started here, and this remains the older half of what we do.
