Natural Finishes and Artisan Masonry in Málaga
Lime Renders
Clay Renders
Tadelakt in Málaga
Lime renders for interiors and exteriors, from simple natural finishes to more textured surfaces. Lime offers breathability, depth and an aesthetic closely connected to Mediterranean architecture.
Clay finishes for interiors, available in different colours, textures and grain sizes. I can create smooth or rustic surfaces, with the natural warmth and character of clay.
A traditional Moroccan mineral finish, applied by hand and particularly suited to bathrooms, showers, sinks and other surfaces that require water resistance.
Traditional Stone Paving
Beauty, craft and traditional workmanship. Stone-paved floors created with natural stone, aiming for a simple, rustic result rooted in Mediterranean tradition.
Rustic Brickwork & Small Masonry Features
Subtle imperfections and timeless tones. Adding warmth, texture and character to a space. Partitions, brick counters, niches and small masonry features that create spaces with character.
Clay & Brick Combinations
Sgraffito, Reliefs, Incisions & Combinations of Different-Coloured Clays
Artisanal Tilework & Zellige
I install tiles and handmade ceramics such as zellige, materials that bring texture, colour and character to a space. I enjoy working with pieces that retain the marks of the handmade process, making each tiled surface unique.

Traditional Arabic Tile vs. Interlocking Tile
Replacement of damaged or deteriorated Spanish roof tiles, including Arabic and interlocking tiles, as part of traditional masonry work.
I work with natural materials such as lime, clay, stone and brick to create Mediterranean-style finishes and masonry features. I personally carry out each application, taking into account the substrate, the space and the finish you are looking for.
I work in Málaga and along the Costa del Sol.
I carry out artisan masonry and natural finish work in Málaga and across different areas of the Costa del Sol.
I travel for Tadelakt, lime and clay renders, rustic brickwork, stonework and other artisan finishes.
For special Tadelakt and mineral finish projects, I can also consider travelling to other areas of Andalucía and Spain.
