Living on the Costa Blanca is a privilege. The light, the sea, the mild climate, and the Mediterranean landscape make this one of the most sought-after locations to build a home—particularly for those in search of a unique, integrated, and sustainable house. But it’s not just about aesthetics or views: designing a house on the Costa Blanca is deeply shaped by its natural surroundings.
At La Quinta Fachada Arquitectura, we design projects in a wide variety of locations—from Jávea and Dénia to Altea, Benissa and Teulada. Each plot, each slope, each breeze matters. This is not a place where you can simply reuse a floor plan. Here, we design with the place, not against it.
Designing a house on the Costa Blanca: architecture shaped by the land
When we talk about designing a house on the Costa Blanca, we’re not referring to a specific visual style, but to a way of designing in dialogue with the landscape. Every home is a precise response to a particular context: orientation, climate, topography, the need for privacy or for openness to the horizon.
Good design here is not just about style—it’s a technical, energy-efficient, and essential response. The environment is as much a part of the project as the plans or the client. That’s why every home we design begins with attentive listening to the land.
Solar orientation as a design tool
One of the key factors in designing a home on the Costa Blanca is its solar orientation. Too much sun in summer can be just as problematic as too little in winter. That’s why we propose:
-
Living spaces facing south or east
-
Solar protection using overhangs, slatted shades or vegetation
-
Strategically placed windows to capture breezes and avoid overheating
-
Minimising direct heat gain from the west
Harnessing the sun when it helps, and shielding from it when it hinders, is at the core of energy-efficient architecture.
The plot leads the way: slope, views and privacy
In towns like Moraira, Pedreguer or Benissa, sloping plots are common. This means the design must adapt to the terrain rather than reshape it. The result: homes with character, well integrated into their setting, with open views and minimal visual impact.
We make the most of views towards the sea or inland landscape, protect access routes, and design terraces as smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Materials and local sustainability
The Mediterranean climate is demanding. That’s why designing a home on the Costa Blanca means selecting materials that can withstand humidity, sunlight and sea salt. We prioritise:
-
Lime-based renders, local stone, and treated timber
-
Ventilated roofs and passive thermal control systems
-
Solar energy solutions and rainwater harvesting
-
Highly insulated façades requiring minimal maintenance
Choosing local materials isn’t just an aesthetic decision—it’s a technical guarantee.
Outdoor living: patios, terraces and gardens
The outdoors is a natural extension of the home. We design open-air spaces meant to be lived in:
-
Shaded porches
-
Terraces with views
-
Thoughtfully irrigated gardens
-
Climate-conscious, integrated swimming pools
When designing a home on the Costa Blanca, the surrounding landscape should be lived, not just admired.
Mediterranean identity, contemporary vision
On the Costa Blanca, the natural environment isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a fundamental part of the design. At La Quinta Fachada, every project begins with that principle. We don’t design against the landscape — we design from it and for it.
Every home design we develop on the Costa Blanca seeks to blend efficiency, beauty, tradition and modernity into a unique and liveable solution.
The result: homes that move you, work beautifully and stand the test of time.
