Vanian Gardens Phase 3, a contemporary residential complex designed by Gonzalez & Jacobson Architecture in Estepona, Malaga, is advancing steadily.

Phase 3 is currently executing concrete structures such as foundations, slabs, walls, and pillars. These structures comprise a metal framework of iron rods, placed where the structure bears load and is exposed to tensile forces. The framework is then encased in concrete, a mixture of cement, sand, and gravel.

Here are the construction updates for Vanian:

• Ground floor slab reinforcement. Basement wall of Block 17.

• Checking foundation slab reinforcement progress for upcoming concreting of Spa Block 17.

• After completing the foundation slab and basement walls in Block 17, installation of the ground floor slab begins using wooden panel formwork supported by props/joists, with strict safety measures.

• Concreting ground floor pillars of Block 16.
• Assembling foundation slab for Block 16 with reinforcements and pile head cages transferring loads to bedrock. Once concreted, it will form a compact, reinforced block with piles reaching several metres below.
• Basement pillars in Block 16 show formwork removal, revealing reinforcement bars for the ground floor slab.
• Block 17’s first floor formwork is being assembled, with waterproofing applied to lower concrete walls.

These images represent only a small part of the construction process. We’ll continue updating on progress and details.
