About us

We are a family business based in Cantabria and with an extensive history of more than 25 years designing, creating, building and decorating homes throughout the national territory, both for sale and rental, developing our ideas in Ibiza, Madrid, Baqueira and Cantabria. Our projects are based on sustainability, construction quality and the search for harmony and warmth when living and enjoying our chalets, apartments or bungalows, both residential and tourist.

Our latest project, LA TIERRUCA HOMES, the first pioneering and unique hotel complex in Spain built from maritime containers, was conceived and designed with the spark and freshness of the ideas of the youngest members of the project, Jesus and Alejandra.

The first step was to buy a maritime container in the port of Valencia and its subsequent transport by truck to Cantabria. We surrounded ourselves with a top-level technical team to build our first prototype and over 14 months the first prototype was designed and developed with the technical team of electricians, plumbers, carpenters, plasterers, ....led by our friend Andres. from a bungalow transformed into a home for later tourist use.

From the beginning, the best technical and design solutions were sought to apply them in the creation of our first HOME. Modern in style, but with the requirements of aesthetic integration and materials in line with the traditional stone and wood constructions of northern Spain, specifically adapted to the existing regulations in the town of Barcenaciones in Cantabria.

After the concretion in the plan of all the construction characteristics and necessary equipment, and following all the quality standards required by the Technical Building Code in Spain, we began to draw and concretize ideas following the advice and guidelines of our team of architects and quantity surveyors, Santi and his son Yago. In just over three months we managed to finish and put into operation a first Home that was 100% equipped and furnished, ready to live in and test thoroughly. The tests of watertightness, thermal and acoustic insulation, structural rigidity and general robustness of the prototype container were carried out during the different seasons of the year, in extreme conditions of intense rain, stifling summer heat, cold winds, strong gales from the south and with total exposure of our container to the most adverse climate conditions of this north region of Spain .

Our dream became a reality and we verified that our work was giving good results and that we were achieving the quality and warmth objectives pursued in our company. After confirming the completion of the prototype, we set out to prepare the next 3 HOMES units that today form this first phase of construction of our hotel complex. At the same time, we began the preparation work on the 2,800 m2 property where the hotel complex is currently located. The earthworks and the installation of the cranes for the unloading of the housing containers was one of the most delicate and important jobs due to its complexity, together with the foundation work, water connections, sanitation, electricity, enclosures, urbanization, swimming pool and landscaping.

Our project is a reality today and we want to share it with all of you.
