ISMAEL MÉRIDA

The avant-garde architect

The architecture studio Ismael Merida Architects was created in 1996 by Ismael Mérida, an architect graduated from the University of Seville, having his studio in Urb. Marbella Real, office 32, Marbella (ismaelmerida.com). His activity is developed mainly in the Costa del Sol, and has projects spread over the Spa nish geography, Lisbon, Casablanca, Tangier, Dominican Republic ..It develops its work fundamentally in the following areas:

– Residential: villas and residential complexes
– Leisure architecture: Hotels, shopping centres, sports centres, leisure centres and golf resorts.

-Author’s architecture, aimed at those clients committed to design, who demand personalised projects and where spatiality and new materials are at the service of the avant-garde. It has a multidisciplinary team that encompasses all fields of architecture: architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, draughtsmen and graphic designers in order to reach all fields of architecture

But if there is one, where this team stands out is in avant-garde design: signature architectu re and modern spaces. Its attraction, Orient: as influence Bali, Thailand…They are passionate about Mikonos, Ibiza, the Mediterranean are their roots.

Water is the protagonist in their work; it has multiple forms: from a sheet reflecting our facade, to the murmur created by its movement meandering between ditches and canals… or the theatricality of a large waterfall or a lagoon that is confused with infinity.

The study and commitment with the Environment where they build, the sensitization towards the environment looking for the integration of the projects with it. It is very important in this way of creating that the work lasts in time. This is what we are looking for: The Fusion of styles and languages; in the search for Harmony. The dialogue between tradition and modernity.

And what obsesses this study is the cult of Detail: it is right here where the difference of a great project lies. What stands out in his works: Spatiality: the
richness of the spaces as an objective in the design; opposing spaces, double heights, the perspectives they aim to create, their theatricality.

The only protagonist of the work is its owner.

It is he who will enjoy it. For ISMAEL MERIDA ARQUITECTOS a good project is not the one that dazzles our ego, but the one in which we understood his dream, understood what he needed and gave him an answer. That is why we do not have a pre-established style. The form, its aesthetics, will result from this relationship.

Today they say they are fortunate to be immersed in projects that excite them, from an exclusive complex of villas in Ibiza, to a luxury hotel on the golden mile, passing through the first urbanization of villas in Marbella, where the streets are roads, there is no asphalt, there are no cars, only gardens, sports and walks; cars circulate underground: quality of life
