Before You Buy or Renovate…
Many clients come to me before purchasing a property or starting a renovation.
At this stage, small decisions can have major consequences.
I help you understand:
- whether a property is viable
- what can realistically be changed
- what constraints exist
- what risks you may not yet see
This early stage is where most important decisions are made – often before and design work begins.

About
The Art of Seeing Possibilities
I’m Liam Phelan, a Málaga-based architect focused on thoughtful residential design and renovation. My work explores how light, proportion and material shape the way we experience space and live within it.
I believe architecture should respond to the way people actually live. True architectural character comes from understanding how people want to live, and shaping spaces around that life — not from imposing a predetermined style.
Each project is an opportunity to reveal the potential of a place, transforming existing spaces into homes that feel calm, functional and enduring.

Have a project in mind? Let’s create something remarkable together.
Start With a Project Consultation
Before preparing a proposal, I review each project through a structured consultation.
I typically work with private clients who are at an early decision stage — either considering a property purchase or planning a residential renovation.
This allows us to:
- assess the viability of your project
- idenitify constraints and opportunities
- clarify the best way forward
This initial consultation is a paid professional service, and enusures that any advise or proposal is clear, realistic, and tailored to your situation.
Select “Request a Project Review” and complete the form with your project details.
