your spanish dream home renovated stress-free

…while you Control the Process from Anywhere in the World

You'd rather spend the weekend on the beach than looking up permits or construction solutions?

As an international home owner, it can be stressful to re-design a home in a foreign land.

Navigating bureaucracy, traveling back and forth, managing deliveries from a distance, etc.

I know how in Spain, distribution can be complex and older stylish buildings are frustratingly inefficient in terms of energy and confort.

You want to switch the “soulless luxury” of a cookie-cutter flat or an old gem to a comfortable and authentic space designed using sustainable practices, Feng Shui, Biophilic Design and Neuro-architecture to lower cortisol and boost deep work?

You need a designer who speaks your language, knows the local market AND cares about sustainability, health and productivity?

YOU COULD START WITH THESE BASICS

Use local materials

In our humid climate, cheap synthetic materials can trap moisture and off-gas toxins. Favour natural fibers (linen, cotton, wool) as synthetics are more likely to trap heat and dust—not ideal for the Mediterranean humidity!
Terracotta floorings and limewashed walls will work much better in a Spanish home than carpet flooring and acrylic paint.

Mix and Match

Do not buy matching sets from chain furniture stores, but rather look for 1 or 2 vintage pieces from a local handicraft market or second-hand shop.
Combine this with custom-made pieces and beautifully curated art and your home will reflect the beauty of your international personality!

"Lock-Off" Strategy

Planning to rent in 3-5 years? Design a custom floor-to-ceiling wardrobe with one "owner’s section" that uses a separate key. This allows you to transition the home to a rental in 24 hours without moving your personal treasures to storage.

Hi, I'm elisa!

I'm an international interior designer truly engaged in sustainable practices and healthy living

After years of world travel, my search for a home in Barcelona led me to a “desperate” hunt through dark, overcompartmented energy-inefficient apartments.

Eventually, I bought a very bright old flat and personally overhauled its thermal and acoustic comfort.

Not only did this create a cosy & comfortable space to work from, but the property’s value jumped 30% in eight years, proving that high-performance living is both a lifestyle and a financial win.

Recently, I started hunting again for a larger place and became frustrated by a market full of “bland and boring” newer and more energy efficient buildings.

Refusing to settle, I studied interior design, neuro-architecture, Feng Shui and Biophilia to bridge the gap between health, aesthetics, comfort and return on investment.

I now offer my services to help expats turn their newly acquired property in Spain into healthy, eco-friendly homes that prioritize health, productivity and energy efficiency without sacrificing bold, personal style.

What others say about me

Elisa has a rare talent for seeing potential where others don’t. She can visualize the transformation of an interior before it even begins. Where others see an empty average flat, she already sees a finished project: the atmosphere, the flow, the emotion it will evoke. That vision is a real gift! I deeply valued her perspective, especially on navigating bureaucracy in Spain , and understanding cultural nuances. She has a clear, grounded way of explaining things and helping others make sense of complex situations.

What really sets Elisa apart as a designer is her vibrant energy and natural creativity. She possesses a rare blend of empathy and intelligence, allowing her to listen deeply to her clients and translate their needs into spaces that feel both authentic and inspired. She is a remarkably versatile professional who thrives when facing new challenges; her unwavering determination ensures that every vision is executed with precision and care. Beyond her aesthetic eye, her deep understanding of health and well-being allows her to create environments that aren't just beautiful to look at, but truly nurturing to live in. Working with her is a masterclass in reliability and respect, making the entire design process as joyful as the final result.

Elisa truly stands out for her creative audacity and her incredible gift for languages. I felt that this linguistic talent has allowed her to develop a profound understanding of diverse cultures and form genuine, deep connections with people from all walks of life. She possesses a unique talent for analyzing abstract concepts and translating them into tangible, inspired designs. Beyond her skill, Elisa’s unwavering determination and honesty make collaborating with her a true blessing.

After 1.5 years of living in a half-furnished flat, I was again working from abroad. I finally decided to hire Elisa's services and in just a few weeks, she delivered the shopping list with all the missing elements and their respective ideal purchase date so that I could get everything as soon as I’d land, and finally enjoy and relax in my home. I love that she uses only non-toxic natural materials and applies Feng Shui principles to improve my productivity at work and the quality of my sleep!
