Málaga is gearing up for the fifth edition of Open House Málaga (May 23-25), but the excitement has already begun. The April 3 kickoff event at Higuerón Resort brought together Spain’s most influential architects for a day of bold ideas, sustainable design, and gourmet cuisine – setting the stage for what promises to be a transformative festival.
At Leiro Residences, located in Málaga’s heart, we feel deeply connected to this movement. Open House doesn’t just showcase urban design – it sparks conversations about how architecture shapes cities and redefines modern luxury.
When Architecture, Sustainability and Luxury Converge
The April 3 event became a defining moment for Open House Málaga. A roundtable discussion explored how contemporary architecture, eco-conscious practices, and refined living can merge to create responsible yet sophisticated spaces for the future.
Visionaries Leading the Dialogue
Key figures like Tristán López-Chicheri, Fernando Porras-Isla, Daniel Rincón de la Vega, and Fernando Pérez del Pulgar shared insights on:
- Eco-friendly materials revolutionizing high-end construction
- Energy efficiency as the new standard for luxury buildings
- Urban design’s social responsibility in evolving cities
For those of us in Málaga – a city undergoing a remarkable architectural renaissance – these discussions hit close to home. Spaces like Leiro Residences embody this very balance of aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability that dominated the debate.
Michelin-Starred Sustainability
The event wasn’t just about ideas – it plated them up. Diego Gallegos, chef at Sollo (holder of both a Michelin Star and Green Star), closed the evening with an aquaponics-inspired tasting menu. His approach proved that sustainability and culinary excellence aren’t just compatible – they’re the future.
This philosophy mirrors responsible architecture: creating extraordinary experiences while honoring our environment. It’s a principle we champion at Leiro through every detail of our guests’ stays.
