Welcome to a Contemporary Architectural Marvel in Marbella—a true statement in luxurious living and design.
Villa Mashrabiya holds the unique distinction of being the first in the area designed by globally celebrated architect Marcio Kogan. A prominent Brazilian architect, Kogan follows in the footsteps of legendary figures like Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa. Renowned for his distinctive take on villa design, Kogan seamlessly blends contemporary elements with the classic modernism of the 1950s. He is particularly noted for incorporating the Mashrabiya, a traditional feature of Arabian architecture, into his designs. This element served as the inspiration for his inaugural project in Marbella. Kogan once said, “Architecture is not just about space. It’s about how light reflects the space.” Every corner and finish of Villa Mashrabiya reflects the true essence of contemporary design paired with timeless elegance.
