The Ykines building evokes the form of the Roman pine, rising towards the light through vertical and organic architecture. Inside, bridges reminiscent of its branches connect the spaces, while integrated wood and vegetation reinforce the sense of a living natural environment.
A contemporary refuge rooted in a sense of belonging, designed to live with freedom, wellbeing, and authenticity.
Ykines’ architecture is born from respect for its surroundings and is integrated into a central plot that preserves part of the original vegetation. The project is organised around a central space inspired by the figure of the tree, the heart of the development.
Interior bridges connect the different spaces, creating fluid routes and a distinctive architectural experience.
On the roof, a large green structure with solar panels evokes the pine’s canopy, combining nature, sustainability, and contemporary design in a balance between city and landscape.
Ykines comes from the affectionate nickname Pedro Citoler Sesé used for his children: his “hijines”. A reminder of his Aragonese roots that, on the children’s lips, ended up transforming into “Ykines”.
After discovering in Torremolinos a place of light, calm, and a seafaring soul, he decided to build his family home there: Villa Ykines. A name that today still represents home, origin, and belonging.
