Here, every sunrise over the Paseo de Salvador Rueda invites you to rediscover the pleasure of light, the feel of noble materials, and the security of a home designed to last over time. The Renaissance of an Architectural Icon: Salvador Rueda 17 The project Be Grand El Limonar represents one of the most ambitious and respectful urban interventions on the Costa del Sol, focused on the rehabilitation of historic buildings that define the identity of Malaga. El Roman Theatre Building, technically known as unit SR17 due to its location at number 17 Paseo de Salvador Rueda, is a fundamental piece of this complex. Originally planned in 1948 by the illustrious architect Mr. Antonio Rubio Torres, this building is not just a brick-and-mortar structure but a testament to post-war elegance, protected by the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) of Malaga with a degree of Architectural Protection-I. This protection ensures that the essence of the building, its distinctive facade, and its unique internal organization remain intact, allowing its new inhabitants to live within a historic monument without giving up the comforts of modern life. Be Grand's intervention has been surgical: the foundations of history have been reinforced while integrating invisible climate control systems, smart connectivity, and finishes from the Porcelanosa brand that elevate the original structure to a new dimension of comfort. Historical and Technical Attribute Specified Detail Original Architect: Mr. Antonio Rubio Torres (1948) Degree of protection Architectural-I (PGOU Málaga) Architectural Style: Stately regionalism with classical elements Strategic location Paseo de Salvador Rueda, 17 Number of Dwellings: 5 exclusive units in the building The Master's Degree of Antonio Rubio Torres and the Urban Planning of 1948 To understand the value of Unit 17, it is imperative to understand the context of its creation. Antonio Rubio Torres was an architect whose vision defined much of the aesthetic of Malaga's most prestigious areas in the mid-20th century. In 1948, the design of the Roman Theatre Building sought to project an image of solidity and refinement, using porticoes with semicircular arches on the ground floor and a functional layout that prioritized natural ventilation and the entry of light. The current renovation deeply respects this central volume that contains the original stairs, which act as the backbone of the upper dwellings. Living here means walking in the same footsteps as the Malaga bourgeoisie of the 40s, but with the smoothness of Macael marble and the thermal comfort of the most advanced systems in Europe. The Journey of Light: A Sensory Journey through Unit 17 Upon crossing the threshold of Unit 17, the visitor is greeted by an immediate atmosphere of serenity. The layout of the house has been designed to make the transition between the outside world and the private retreat seamless and natural. The daytime area manifests as an expansive space where the living room, dining room, and kitchen merge in a choreography of light and textures.
