From marble to microcement: the materials that define the new luxury
How the evolution of materials is transforming the aesthetics of contemporary luxury towards the tactile, the sensory, and the timeless.
LEER MÁS »If you’re considering a luxury home in Madrid, you know it’s not just about square footage or high-end finishes. It’s about how that space will make you feel every day. At Estudio Cabana, we design exclusive homes in Madrid that go far beyond mere aesthetics: we think about how you live, what you need, and what you don’t even know you need yet.

A well-designed luxury home isn’t the one with the most marble or the most expensive kitchen. It’s the one that welcomes you when you come home, the one that flows naturally, and the one that, over time, feels like it was made just for you.
For us, luxury isn’t about ostentation. It’s about precision, consistency, and attention to detail. It’s about carefully selecting every material, every proportion, and every light source. It’s about everything making sense.

We don’t come in with a catalog of predefined solutions. We start by understanding how you live and what you want to change. From there, we build a project that’s yours from the very first sketch.

Areas
Madrid is made up of very different neighborhoods, each with its own architectural features, regulations, and unique character. We know our way around all of them.
The neighborhood that best epitomizes luxury residential living in Madrid. Historic buildings, spacious floor plans, and clients who know exactly what they want. Here, attention to detail is everything.
Stately architecture, quiet streets, and a growing demand for well-renovated homes. We love this neighborhood for its wealth of beautiful properties.
Park views, abundant natural light, and unique locations in Madrid. Projects where the surroundings are an integral part of the design from the very beginning.
For those seeking more space, more privacy, and a quieter setting without leaving Madrid. Single-family homes, villas, and residences where the garden and architecture complement each other.
Process
Before we draw anything, we listen. We want to understand how you use the space, what bothers you about your current home, and what you envision for your new one. With that information, we build a solid foundation for the project.
This is where the project takes shape. Floor plans, materials, layout, lighting, finishes. Everything is documented and explained so you can make informed decisions with all the information at your fingertips.
Being on-site is just as important as good design. We oversee every phase to ensure that what is built is exactly what was planned—no loose interpretations or last-minute improvisations.
There are many architecture firms in Madrid. We know that. What sets us apart isn’t a specific style or a recognizable signature, but the way we engage with each project.
We treat every home as if it were our own. You can see that in the way we ask questions, the way we solve problems, and the way we deliver projects.

In a luxury home, materials aren’t just a whim. They’re part of the experience of living in that space. We select each element with care: it must be durable, have character, and fit in with the overall design.
We work with trusted suppliers and artisans, many of whom have extensive experience in high-end residential projects in Madrid and throughout Spain.

Before making a decision, there are a few things worth considering:
Make sure the firm has worked on projects similar to yours, not only in scale but also in type. Make sure the team listens before making proposals. Make sure the process is clear from the start: phases, deadlines, fees, and how unforeseen issues are handled. And when you visit their completed projects, you should be able to sense that there is a clear purpose behind every decision.

Projects
At Estudio Cabana, we begin each project by analyzing the land or plot, the surroundings, and local regulations.

Trato totalmente personal. Si quieres hacer un proyecto y que salga bien este es tu estudio. En nuestro caso teníamos que hacer una reforma de una casa antigua, sin que perdiese su esencia y además ampliar. Sabíamos que era algo complicado pero se encargaron de que todo saliese bien y que el proceso fuese agradable en todo momento.
Cabana no solo comprende sus necesidades, también lo inspira. Proporcionan información valiosa que ayuda a que la idea que tiene en mente cobre vida con éxito. Son profesionales, meticulosos y, lo más importante, extremadamente apasionados por lo que hacen. Se los he recomendado a todos los que conozco y seguiré haciéndolo, dado que nos ayudaron con la vivienda de nuestros sueños y estaremos siempre muy agradecidos por su talento e implicación en el proyecto! GRACIAS
Para todo aquel que busque alto diseño, innovador y creativo, cabana es su equipo de arquitectos, para nosotros fue una decisión acertadísima y si con este comentario podemos devolverles una parte de su profesionalidad y cariño con nuestra casa, adelante!

Projects
We work on a variety of luxury properties in Madrid, ranging from downtown apartments to penthouses with views and new-construction projects in the capital’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
Salamanca, Almagro, Recoletos, Chamberí. Neighborhoods where every renovation or new project demands a very high level of detail. We know exactly how to work in these settings and what their owners expect.
Penthouses have a personality all their own. More light, higher ceilings, and greater design freedom. They also come with a greater responsibility to get them right. That’s exactly why we love them.
If the project starts from scratch, the possibilities are even greater. We work with developers and private clients to create luxury new-construction homes where design is integrated from the very beginning, rather than added on at the end.

An architectural firm’s fees for a luxury home in Madrid depend on the type of project, the floor area, and the scope of the work. The most common approach is to charge a percentage of the construction budget or a fixed fee per phase. At Estudio Cabana, we always provide a clear cost estimate before starting, with no fine print.
It depends on the complexity. A comprehensive renovation project for a luxury apartment in Madrid can take between 12 and 18 months, from the start of the design phase to the completion of the project. New construction projects have their own timelines, which we establish with you from the outset.
We work with both: private clients looking to design or renovate their primary residence, as well as developers seeking to incorporate high-quality design into their luxury residential developments in Madrid.
The cost of materials does not guarantee a good result. A well-designed luxury home is one in which all the elements work together harmoniously, where the space flows, the lighting is thoughtfully planned, and every decision serves a clear purpose. You notice it the moment you walk in. And you continue to notice it over time.
