Europe’s leading golf, residential and lifestyle destination in Southern Spain, is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee in style this month with the unveiling of NIWA, an architectural masterpiece by ARK Architects. Sotogrande has announced that this exciting new building is located in The Seven, Sotogrande’s most exclusive neighbourhood, which offers some of the most impressive plots of all.
NIWA is not just the most exclusive villa in Sotogrande but is also now part of one of the most highly sought-after developments in Spain thanks to its unparalleled design and spectacular views down over the area’s famous golf courses, the clear Mediterranean Sea and the northern coast of Africa. NIWA is yet another example of Sotogrande’s efforts to continually raise the bar to create what is now one of the most exclusive destinations in Europe.
Natural perfection at NIWA
An international residential community in the heart of Sotogrande, The Seven is a unique concept comprising seven spectacular new-build villas, which were designed in a collaboration between several world-renowned architects including ARK STUDIO. The architects went through a rigorous selection process in order to be chosen for the job and were then invited to design a contemporary masterpiece that blends seamlessly into the landscape whilst reflecting the extraordinary views of Sotogrande. Each home offers a completely unique living experience and aesthetic, all with the outmost respect for space and nature and perfectly suited to the style of Sotogrande.
The indisputable premise of the project was preserving and honouring local nature and creating a life in complete harmony with it, and the collective of architects, including Manuel Ruiz Moriche of ARK Architects, came together seamlessly to bring NIWA to life. This oasis of tranquility is something truly special, and seems to come directly from the surrounding landscape, its structures organically intertwined with the surroundings and natural elements used to achieve a sense of balance, security and tranquility.
The name NIWA is inspired by a Japanese garden where peace and serenity are central themes, with natural materials always taking centre stage. On a plot of more than 10,000 m2, NIWA covers 4,321 m2, with nine bedrooms/suites, eight bathrooms, several reception rooms both inside and outside, a cinema, an infinity pool, a spa with indoor pool, a wine cellar, an office and a garage for eight cars, for a total price of €22,500,000.
For those looking to experience life in a unique setting in complete privacy, NIWA offers the opportunity to do just that, and serves as an unmatched setting in which unforgettable moments with family and friends and life-long memories can be made, all in a lifestyle resort that is fast becoming known for its award-winning golf courses, villas and an exceptional lifestyle.
“Quiet luxury, perfectly integrated into the stunning landscape of Sotogrande with nature as the protagonist,” said Manuel Ruiz Moriche, architect and partner at ARK Architects.
