This stunning modern villa based on a contemporary architecture design is located in the hills of La Zagaleta, sets the bar even higher for luxury residences in Costa del sol. Essentialized architecture, a review and exploration of historic archetypes and classicist principles adapted to the times and needs of contemporary life. The outcome is a modern and elegant masterpiece with exceptional panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast and the mountains from every corner. This is the result of wide openings towards the sea of its main elevation, in contrast to the privacy provided by the rest of the facades, which includes the entrance to the house.

Occupying a 5000 square plot just below the top ridge of the prestigious La Zagaleta estate in Benahavis, Heaven 11 has a built area of over 2300 square meters on three levels, plus an additional 330 square meters of terraces.

The entry level features a dramatic hallway, with twin staircases and lift, opening onto a huge living room with uninterrupted views to the sea. Adjacent there is a second sitting room, dining room and kitchen. An open floor plan enhances the airy feeling and the loft impression. There are also two en-suite rooms on the main floor. Luxury finishes magnify each room. Upstairs, the palatial master bedroom has its own living room, dressing área and elegant bathroom. Downstairs, there is a state of the art entertainment floor, with bar and lounge area, indoor infinity pool, cinema, gym, wine cellar, office and enough garage for a car collection. The extensive gardens are fully landscaped with mediterranean species and the terrace by the outdoor pool and jacuzzi has a chill-out and a barbecue area at hand.

Float along to new horizons while visiting the exciting Heaven 11 private residence. This luxurious villa enjoys magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea from La Zagaleta, a prime and exclusive location on Spain’s ever-sunny Costa Del Sol. Massive glazed walls on three separate levels bring in tonnes of natural light year-round, all thanks to Reynaers Aluminium windows and sliding solutions.
 

The villa fuses ultimate luxury with perfect authenticity. Local materials feature both in the interior design and in the luscious gardens to give visitors and residents a refreshing resort experience. Notice how Heaven 11 purposely blurs the distinction between building and landscape as your eyes automatically meet the Mediterranean Sea on one side of the mansion, and the Serrania de Ronda mountains on the other.

“We considered light as the key material in our design philosophy, so the villa required detailed planning and cutting-edge glazing solutions,” says Manuel Ruiz Moriche, lead architect for ARK Architects. This idea makes perfect sense, as the Costa del Sol basks in sunshine for 325 days a year. An abundance of solar panels and heat-reflective glass cleverly makes use of the bright Spanish weather, turning Heaven 11 into a zero-carbon emission property for six months per year.

Facing the elements with aluminium solutions
Lofty window solutions were needed, and Reynaers Aluminium specialists helped ARK to make the most aesthetic and functional choice possible. Thanks to our expertise, Heaven 11 today offers 2,230 square metres of light-filled living space spread across three levels. How is this lighting trick achieved? First, our ConceptPatio 155-Lift & Slide (LS) system connects indoor spaces with the outdoor terraces effortlessly. Its highly insulated slim profiles form a glass corner solution, providing you with spectacular panoramas without any fixed elements blocking the view.

"Even at their largest dimensions, Reynaers Aluminium windows can withstand the heaviest wind loads."

Heaven 11 also features our premium HiFinity sliding system, which allows for even bigger floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall glass solutions. Triple-glazed ConceptSystem 77 windows pair well with the already highly insulated HiFinity system to ensure ultimate comfort. When the ocean wind blows strongly, you can rest assured: all our aluminium solutions can resist with ease, even when carrying larger-than-life dimensions of glass.

Customised to perfection
The featured windows and sliding doors are perfectly adapted to this exclusive home’s main needs. As security is a key concern to the owners, ARK Architects chose Reynaers Aluminium solutions that can reach superior fire, burglar, and even bullet resistance levels. The villa also features customised sunscreens and heat-reflective glazing to match the site’s unique location. “We studied the sun’s orientation throughout the year and included different degrees of sun screening to reduce the impact of UV rays,” comments architect Manuel Moriche.

Eco-friendly, luxurious, and functional: Heaven 11 has it all. Thanks to its clever design and excellent usage of natural light, the villa successfully updates the classic resort lifestyle and makes it a modern residential experience for you to enjoy.
