How it
actually works.

Drawings for the people who have to live with the decisions — co-investors, engineers, architects. Each one shows a mechanism the prose can only describe: what the name owns, when the money moves, where the wind and the water go.

01 — The business

Name, capital, court.

The house brand and what it ownsEl Soco owns the standard and lends its name downward; the estates produce the income, the club produces the uplift, the capital vehicle carries the co-investors. Frest is the endorser and the builder. Ring III is the licence line that turns the name into the asset.

The gates are the risk controlMoney does not move until the written answer does. The principal goes first, co-investors follow at Gate 2, and debt is raised only once the asset is permitted. A refusal at the first gate leaves €1.78M unspent.

One slab, nine programmesThe court is specified as a level, serviced platform first and a padel court second, so it survives a change of use. The service spine sits on the windward side, the noise goes south and east, away from the beds.
02 — The system

Wind, water, sun.

The zoco: a wall, a pit, a vine, no waterThe crescent wall takes the trade wind and lifts it over the pit; the black lapilli in the pit condenses dew at night and gives it back by day. Three hundred years of vines grown with no rainfall to speak of. The estate is the same drawing at a larger scale: the wall is the compound wall, the vine is the guest.

NOTHING ON A TIMER.
Where the water goesTwo sources in, one cistern, one use, one treatment, and the only irrigation on the plot is the water that has already been used once. Design targets to be confirmed by the services engineer.
ENERGY · SOLAR-LED, NOT OFF-GRID PV · 20 kWpROOF-INTEGRATED Battery · 40 kWhNIGHT LOAD GridBACKUP, NOT BASE Four keys Pool heat pumpSOLAR HOURS ONLY · THERMAL COVER La Pista LEDMATCH / DINNER / BLACKOUT charges when the battery is flat daytime surplus → pool BUDGETED WITHIN €165,000 SITE INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANCHES 1–2 · TARGETS, NOT MEASUREMENTS
Where the power comes fromThe roof charges the battery and runs the pool in daylight; the battery runs the night; the grid is behind both. The court's lighting is zoned so that a dinner or a film does not light a match.

Four terraces, four times of dayThe plan is a sundial: each outdoor room catches its own hour and faces its own way, so the estate can be let four ways without anyone competing for a chair. The court takes the evening because its light is the only light on the plot.

Every drawing carries design targets, not measurements. Water and energy figures and zone areas are assumptions for testing, to be replaced by the ground survey, the services engineer and the QS before Tranche 1.
