The design, development, planning and landscape management for private housing is a complex task that requires a high level of experience. This study of landscape architects in Marbella has it because it has projected a large number of detached houses with garden and pool areas.

Managing landscape in a private home is very different from managing a large residential complex . The scale is much smaller and has no communal areas or meeting between neighbors. It is a private enjoyment oriented work, to create an intimacy and a resting place for home users.

With the help of vegetation, landscape architects have created visual and acoustic barriers that help shape the outdoor spaces and establish the boundaries of the plot. They are essential elements that contribute to this place of rest and relaxation.

Each detached house has its own characteristics and therefore with a different project and landscape approach. In some cases the architects have designed a backyard as gathering place and in others; the garden is in the access to be traversed to reach the house. For each situation they have used different resources.

Artificial lighting for gardens is also a facet that is contemplated. A lighting that remains hidden, where the user cannot see the light but, instead, can perceive its reflection.
