AMES Arquitectos

Architecture shaped by place

Founded in Marbella in 2011, AMES Arquitectos approaches a project through its setting: the slope of a site, the direction of the light, and the materials that belong in the landscape. The studio’s portfolio ranges from private villas and residential developments to hotel projects, with work in Spain and beyond.

Homes, developments, and hospitality

The firm’s published projects show a contemporary Mediterranean vocabulary—stone, wood, arches, terraces, and carefully managed views—used in different ways rather than repeated as a fixed style. A hillside villa may use its topography to open rooms toward the horizon, while a hospitality project has to balance its architectural character with the needs of guests and operators. AMES also presents interior and landscape design as part of its broader project work.

A portfolio built around the site

Recent work in the studio’s portfolio includes projects in Marbella and nearby residential enclaves. The firm describes its design approach as restrained and attentive to detail, with buildings intended to be lived in rather than treated as objects alone. For clients considering a home, development, or hotel project, the portfolio offers a way to assess the studio’s visual language and range before discussing the requirements of a specific site.
