Villa M is a magnificent residence located in Mijas, Spain. It was a collaboration between studios Igloo Design and Marion Regitko Arquitectos who found inspiration in the beautiful surrounding landscape. The defining fashion of the entire project is a minimalist and contemporary one. The villa is structured on two levels connected by floating wooden stairs hanging from sleek cable rods fastened to the ceiling.

The site has a very steep slope which meant office of the house had to be suspended on pillars. The designers also took advantage of the landscape by integrating part of the ground floor into the hillside and creating a potent connectedness between architecture and nature. They as well chose a holistic blueprint for the interior and the outside of the villa and in that way the transition between these spaces is seamless and feels very natural.

Inside, the ambiance is very relaxed and inviting. There's a sunken living room that's connected to the dining surface area and the kitchen. It features a modular sofa that creates a U-shaped sitting area around a set of stylish coffee tables. This expanse opens onto a covered outdoor deck and overlooks and pond pool.
