Complete Luxury House Renovation in Coveta Fuma Alicante
We were tasked with completing a full house renovation in Coveta Fuma, Alicante. The project involved creating an open-plan living and kitchen area, refurbishing the kitchen and bathrooms, and renovating the swimming pool while enhancing the home’s exterior landscaping.
The three-bedroom semi-detached Spanish home, with a spacious garden, had not seen renovations in over 45 years. The new owners, a young family of four, wanted to modernize their residence, and our company was entrusted with the task of renovating the entire home. This included repairing and retiling the existing large swimming pool on the premises, requiring careful coordination between the owners and the construction teams, a challenge that Marius and his team successfully navigated.
The project began with a complete overhaul of the existing floors, ceilings, and walls, which was crucial for such an old house. The internal remodeling aimed to create a seamless flow, transforming the ground floor into a visually connected open-plan living space.
The south-facing lounge area, boasting a splendid sea view, underwent significant changes. By replacing four small windows and a central chimney with three floor-to-ceiling windows, the space gained natural light and a voguish feel. The introduction of structural posts and beams, followed by the installation of dark grey aluminium windows, added a modern touch to the home.
The new bedroom and suite bathroom situated on the first floor, having the windows all the way to the floor, extended the rooms to the back garden.
Right where the old exterior wall was, the new open plan kitchen is now the main attraction, offering a large worktop, comfortable breakfast bar, and plenty of units.
The dining area with an oval table for six offers space and splendid views, being in between the big sliding doors and kitchen counter.
Next to that, is the metal spiral staircase that takes you to the roof. Here we had a big challenge: we had to cover the staircase, not go over the handrail height so the back neighbour does not lose the sea views, and to stay within the budget. Our team came up with the idea of using aluminium, glass, and polycarbonate in order to create a skylight and cover the staircase.
On the roof, we replaced the old screen blocks with a 10 cm wall, serving as a handrail, while also increasing the façade height. Additionally, we found the perfect skylight solution: simple, effective, and budget-friendly.
Moving to the ground floor, we cut into the floor and introduced a metal structure to create a new staircase connecting both levels. To enhance the aesthetics, the adjacent wall was finished with natural stone in a crazy paving style, cleverly disguising its slight imperfections in alignment.
Next, we installed a brand-new bathroom on the ground floor, along with two bedrooms, each featuring a built-in wardrobe for a sleek and functional design.
Previously, this level housed a garage, but we’ve transformed it into a stylish bathroom and a small yet cosy lounge area.
From the ground-floor bedrooms, you step directly into the pool area, which once looked aged and unkempt before its renovation. Now, with fresh tiling and crystal-clear water, it’s a truly inviting space—the perfect spot to enjoy the warm season, which lasts for nearly three-quarters of the year.
The area is complete with a BBQ and a comfortable seating space, creating the ideal setting for summer evenings spent sharing a delicious steak and a few drinks with family and friends.
