Villarroel - Architect

A dynasty of talented architects headed up by Melvin Villarroel, one of the leading architects in Spain for the past 30 years. Originating from Bolivia, Melvin's design for the Hotel Puente Romano in Marbella in 1973 changed the face of the resort. Originally planned as a high rise, his design based on Andalusian pueblo style with fantastic, spacious gardens proved ground-breaking, and set a precedent which has helped to make Marbella one of the most attractive holiday resorts in the world. Since then, Melvin has enjoyed a meteoric career fuelled by his original use of Balinese thatch, and a unique ability to blend interior and exterior spaces with the exuberance of nature and water features. A self-designated "tailor of space", Melvin's magic has touched so many emblematic buildings in the area icluding The Marbella Club, the Kempinski Hotel, Sierra Nevada, Cabo Bermejo and Mansion Club. Followed into the profession by all four of his talented offspring, the dynasty have also created some of the most outstanding mansions in exclusive neighbourhoods such as La Quinta, La Zagaleta and Sierra Blanca.
