Spanish Architect / Architectural Team – Premium Wellness Center in Torremolinos Project Overview We are developing a premium Wellness Center in Torremolinos, Málaga, and are looking for an experienced Spanish architect or architectural team to help us develop the project from the current preliminary stage. The project involves the transformation of an existing large-span building of approximately 2,400–2,500 m² into a high-quality, premium wellness and performance center. The existing steel structure and main building volume are intended to be retained wherever technically and economically possible. We are looking for someone who can combine strong architectural design with practical knowledge of Spanish regulations, licensing and technical project development. The Concept The project has recently evolved from a conventional gym concept into a more ambitious Premium Wellness Center. The intended concept may include: Premium gym and strength training Cardio Functional training / Hyrox Yoga / Pilates / group exercise studios Physiotherapy Sports medicine / consultations Recovery Lounge Sauna Cold / hot contrast facilities Massage and treatment rooms Nutrition / consultation rooms Premium changing rooms Healthy café / social area Reception and lounge Staff, storage and technical areas The final distribution is not yet fixed. We therefore want the architect to contribute not only technically but also architecturally and commercially, helping us determine how the approximately 2,400–2,500 m² can best be used to create a genuinely premium destination. First Phase – Concept & Feasibility The initial assignment would be to develop a professional concept and feasibility study including: Preliminary architectural floor plan Functional zoning and circulation Reception and entrance concept Gym / wellness / recovery distribution Changing rooms and sanitary areas Café / social areas Technical and storage areas Preliminary evacuation strategy Fire compartmentation considerations Accessibility Initial HVAC, ventilation, electrical and plumbing considerations Acoustic considerations Preliminary assessment of the existing structure Initial construction cost assessment We also want your professional opinion regarding the optimal commercial and architectural concept for the building. The objective is not simply to create another gym, but a high-end wellness destination with a strong premium identity and customer experience. Spanish Regulations & Licensing The project is located in Torremolinos, Málaga, and it is important that the architect has a strong understanding of applicable Spanish and Andalusian building regulations. Experience with the following is highly desirable: Building permits Opening / operating licences Fire regulations Accessibility Acoustic requirements Technical installations Structural verification Legalisation of installations Municipal procedures in Andalucía We are also interested in an architect who can coordinate the necessary specialist engineers and technical consultants. Future Phases If the first phase is successful, we would like the possibility to continue with the same architect/team through: Phase 2 – Basic Project Detailed architectural and technical documentation required for the relevant approval process. Phase 3 – Execution Project Detailed construction drawings, technical installations, specifications and contractor documentation. Phase 4 – Technical Management Site supervision, coordination of contractors and specialists, completion documentation and assistance with commissioning and legalisation. What We Are Looking For The ideal candidate should have: Spanish professional architectural qualification Ability to undertake/sign the relevant professional work in Spain Strong knowledge of Spanish building regulations Experience in Andalucía, preferably Málaga Experience with commercial, hospitality, wellness, fitness or healthcare projects Strong architectural and interior design capabilities Ability to work in English Experience coordinating technical consultants Experience with premium wellness, hospitality or high-end fitness projects would be a major advantage. What We Would Like From You Please provide: Short presentation of yourself/company Professional qualifications and licences Relevant previous projects and portfolio Experience with projects in Andalucía Proposed approach to this project Estimated timeframe for the initial phase Fixed fee for Phase 1 – Concept & Feasibility Estimated fees for subsequent phases Confirmation of which services you can provide directly and which require external specialists We prefer to start with a clearly defined Phase 1. If the collaboration works well, our intention is to continue with the same architect/team for the subsequent phases. This is a serious development project, and we are looking for a long-term professional relationship rather than simply a CAD drafting service. Please apply with your portfolio and relevant experience.

The existing steel structure and main building volume retention is the part that will dictate everything else on this job, so that’s where I start. I'll use AutoCAD for the primary drafting and then Revit for the BIM model development. I'll keep the existing steel structure wherever it makes sense, also integrating it visually into the new design for a premium feel. I would not use off-the-shelf design elements that do not fit the existing shell, that will just add cost and look wrong. This is a premium wellness center. I need to know what the main access points are planned for the building, considering both client and service traffic flow. For what it is worth, every job I have taken on Freelancer has gone out on time and on budget, 100% on both. I will need the survey plans and any existing structural reports to proceed. Once I have those, I will deliver the initial design concepts and a preliminary structural integration plan.

Hello, I’m interested in supporting the development of your premium Wellness Center in Torremolinos. I have extensive experience developing complete architectural and engineering documentation, including site plans, architectural layouts, structural plans and calculations, and MEP systems. I work with AutoCAD and SketchUp and can develop the initial concept into a coordinated, practical design while considering circulation, space utilization, accessibility, fire/life safety, structure, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, acoustics, and construction requirements. For the first phase, I can help develop the functional zoning and preliminary floor plan, entrance/reception experience, gym and wellness distribution, recovery areas, changing rooms, sanitary facilities, café/social areas, technical spaces, and preliminary building-services strategy. I can also review the existing steel structure and identify opportunities and constraints for adaptive reuse. I understand that the goal is not simply to fit functions into the building, but to create a cohesive premium destination with a strong architectural and customer experience. I’m also comfortable coordinating multidisciplinary teams and communicating in English. Please share the existing building drawings, site information, photographs, and any preliminary concept material. I would be happy to discuss Phase 1 scope, deliverables, timeframe, and fee structure. Best regards, Mateo
