Rooftop Terrace Design · Sotogrande
From Sotogrande Costa to La Reserva
Berlin-based manufactory delivering rooftop terrace concepts to Sotogrande's most discerning beachfront villas and hillside golf-course estates, with plant design, outdoor kitchens and wellness architecture under one curatorial hand.
Why Sotogrande is different
Andalusian light, Levante wind, and the slow rhythm of the polo season
Sotogrande is the original Andalusian private-resort community – created in 1962 as one of the first European HNWI gated developments. La Reserva, Valderrama, Kings & Queens and Almenara form the polo, golf and equestrian core; Sotogrande Costa and La Marina represent the contemporary beachfront and marina expansion. Climate is hot-summer Mediterranean with intense UV, long dry summers, mild winters, the Levante and Poniente winds across the Strait of Gibraltar, and salt-laden Atlantic-Mediterranean air.
We work in this tension daily: with Spanish-licensed architects and structural engineers, with Ayuntamiento de San Roque permitting and Sotogrande Owners Association architectural-review consultants, and with the lifestyle expectations of Sotogrande clients between Sotogrande Costa beachfront, Sotogrande Alto and La Reserva hillside estates, Kings & Queens golf residences, Valderrama estate properties, La Marina marina-front rooftops and Almenara polo-club estates. Our role is the plant and outdoor lifestyle layer – ecological substrate, Andalusian-Mediterranean curation, and the wellness elements (sunset terrace, outdoor kitchen, pool deck, pergola) that turn a Sotogrande rooftop into a year-round sanctuary.
Our Sotogrande approach
Curated plants, ecological substrate, lifestyle integration
- Symbiosis methodology – mycorrhizal partnerships, effective microorganisms and humus building replace chemical fertilisation under Andalusian drought, UV and salt exposure.
- Andalusian-Mediterranean palette – structural specimens (cork oak, holm oak, olive, citrus, jacaranda), Mediterranean evergreens (rosemary, lavender, myrtle, lentisk, santolina), flowering accents (bougainvillea, plumbago, jasmine, hibiscus, oleander), drought-tolerant succulents.
- Wellness architecture – sunset terrace, outdoor kitchen, pool deck and pergola integration with Mediterranean or polo-field framing.
- Owners-Association-aware execution – Spanish-licensed architects and structural engineers, Ayuntamiento de San Roque permitting, Sotogrande Owners Association architectural review, salt- and UV-resistant detailing.
Areas we serve
Across the Sotogrande development and Campo de Gibraltar
Most of our Sotogrande work is concentrated in Sotogrande Costa, Sotogrande Alto, La Reserva, Kings & Queens, Valderrama, La Marina and Almenara. We also handle select Estepona East and Marbella-adjacent projects.
How a Sotogrande project unfolds
From first conversation to handover
- 01
Understanding before drawing
Site visit (or detailed remote survey for first conversations from Berlin), discussion of the people and rhythm using the terrace, early constraint mapping (Ayuntamiento de San Roque, Owners Association, drought, structure).
- 02
Concept and curation
A small set of plant compositions, material moodboards, wellness element placement. Always optionality.
- 03
Engineering and approvals
Load calculations with Spanish-licensed structural engineer, Ayuntamiento de San Roque permitting, Sotogrande Owners Association architectural review.
- 04
Installation and handover
Our team installs on site over one to several weeks. Plants are sourced from Andalusian nurseries and pre-conditioned for the Sotogrande climate. After handover we offer ongoing care subscriptions following the same symbiosis methodology.

The first call is unhurried – understanding before any concept. We travel from Berlin for site visits when the project warrants it.
