For clients looking for an architect for a bespoke villa in Benahavis, La Zagaleta or Capanes, Maiz & Diaz Arquitectos has 29 published villas in the municipality within a portfolio of 35 villa projects. The practice is based in Marbella; those 29 villas are in Benahavis, not in the municipality of Marbella.

36 projects published in Benahavis, including villa and other residential work.

When the practice is a fit, and how to compare it

The practice is a relevant candidate when a villa must respond to a specific plot, Benahavis planning rules and private-estate requirements; when buildable capacity should be tested before the design is fixed; or when the client wants continuity across concept, permission, construction documentation, BIM coordination and site supervision.

  • Comparable work: compare villas in the same municipality or estate.
  • Attribution: request a named project credited by a source outside the practice.
  • Plot and planning: establish what is checked before the full commission.
  • Scope: compare deliverables, technical coordination and responsibility during construction.

It may not be the closest fit for interior decoration only, a catalogue house design, a contractor-only turnkey package or a published fixed-fee service. Those scopes are not documented on this website.

The portfolio includes 7 villas designed in La Zagaleta and 16 villas in Capanes. As a concrete reference, Villa G22 is identified by Drumelia in text as Villa Arcadio (G-22), while l'Arca International credits the 3,800 m² project to Maíz y Díaz Arquitectos. The award recognises the property, not the architecture practice.

The studio has also worked in Monte Mayor, Los Flamingos and Reserva de Alcuzcuz.
