Systems used: STRUGAL S74RP ÓPTIMA, STRUGAL S150RP ILEVA.
Morph's philosophy is to seek to make an impact in the places where we work, and to try to ensure that our projects draw on all the conditions, so that the result is very much determined by the place, who we work with, and the technical possibilities we have, rather than by us having a predefined style.
Mijas regulations require fairly substantial separations between plots. We took the fence, raised it up to form the eaves of the house, and incorporated this constraint into the DNA of the project.
From the end customer's point of view, we wanted to give them what they come to Mijas and Malaga for, which is continuous contact with nature and beautiful landscapes. Look at the roofs; we even thought about covering them with sedum and other vegetation. In the end, we used gravel that is very similar in color to the terrain itself. We wanted the construction to be as organic and in harmony with the terrain as possible.
In this project, we used STRUGAL S74RP ÓPTIMA, and there was a very important challenge here, which was the huge windows, for which we needed a slightly special type of carpentry, liftable so that it could be moved easily over time, while also seeking the most uninterrupted visual contact possible with the outside, with the views, with the wonderful blinding sun that Malaga has. And that's where we used STRUGAL S150RP ILEVA.
We chose the STRUGAL brand for this particular project because it is a national brand that offers the reliability of a brand that is celebrating its 50th anniversary, for which it deserves congratulations. Ultimately, there are many profile brands, but that balance between performance and competitiveness, and having a suitable ecosystem of installers, means that this carpentry is ultimately chosen.
