Years of high-end finishing and construction execution

  • Proven ability to execute Northern European quality standards in Spain
Investment Strategy
Our strategy is simple and effective:
  • Acquire undervalued or underdeveloped properties in prime or emerging locations.
  • Transform them through architectural redesign, high-end finishing, and bespoke interiors.
  • Add significant value by delivering homes with strong design identity and superior execution.
  • Sell at a premium, capitalising on the market demand for move-in-ready, design-focused properties.

This strategy reduces risk, increases predictability, and maximises return through design differentiation.
Market Opportunity
Demand for well-designed, move-in-ready homes in the Costa del Sol continues to outpace supply. Most existing properties either require full renovation or lack architectural identity.
This creates a clear opportunity:
Buyers are willing to pay a premium for homes with character, warmth, and ready-to-live quality—precisely what Ayamara delivers.
Co-Founder
Max Al-Rawi
Max grew up in the family furniture business, gaining early experience in product development, sourcing, and international manufacturing. He later co-managed a luxury dog furniture brand with his mother before shifting into his lifelong passion: real estate and design-led development.
After moving to Spain, Max purchased, renovated, and sold two apartments—one together with Patrick van Riemsdijk—which marked the beginning of larger development ambitions. Max has also project-managed multiple residential renovations for a construction company in Spain, gaining practical experience with local contractors, licensing, and technical execution.
Today Max leads:
  • Investment & development strategy
  • Architectural direction and design concepting
  • Project management and construction oversight
  • Coordination between architects, engineers, and finishing teams
  • Integration of custom-made furniture into each project
Max combines global furniture expertise with hands-on technical experience in Spain, ensuring each development is delivered with precision and long-term value.
Co-Founder & Construction Manager
Patrick van Riemsdijk
Patrick is the founder of Luxury Walls & Custom Interiors (www.luxury-walls.com), an atelier and showroom in the Netherlands renowned for high-end craftsmanship. With over 15 years of experience, he specialises in luxury wall& floor finishes, microcement, Mortex, Novacolor, lime paint, and bespoke carpentry, bringing refined Northern-European execution quality to every Ayamara project.
Renovation & Construction Expertise
Patrick has completed numerous full-home renovations in the Netherlands and has also worked on multiple high-end projects in Los Angeles for well-known movie industry clients.
This international exposure—combined with deep experience in structural work, luxury finishing techniques, and custom interior construction—gives him a rare level of technical precision and aesthetic understanding.
His craftsmanship, material knowledge, and eye for detail form the foundation of Ayamara's elevated construction standards.
Patrick's Role at Ayamara
As Construction Manager, Patrick is responsible for:
  • Overseeing all on-site construction and renovation
  • Managing and coordinating specialists and construction teams
  • Ensuring high-level material and finishing quality
  • Maintaining timelines and budget control
  • Implementing all interior and finishing concepts to Ayamara's standards
Patrick's craftsmanship ensures each home is delivered with precision, durability, and a distinctive premium finish.
Our Vision
Ayamara creates homes that stand apart—design-driven, crafted with intention, and built to a standard that outperforms anything typically found on the Costa del Sol.
Quality First
Every decision—from structure to finishing to furniture—is driven by longevity, craftsmanship, and material honesty.
A Distinctive Architectural Style
We specialise in a refined Andalusian–Japandi fusion: warm, natural, textured, minimal, and timeless. A style that stands out in a market dominated by repetitive contemporary boxes.
European-Level Execution
With an in-house Construction Manager and direct access to international furniture production, we control the entire chain and ensure: precision, durability, consistency, and higher long-term value.
Fully Integrated Design & Build
We unify architecture, construction, interiors, finishes, and furniture—resulting in cohesive, character-rich homes with a recognisable Ayamara identity.
Our goal:
To create signature homes that buyers actively seek out—properties known for their character, warmth, and uncompromising quality.
Sustainability & Materials Philosophy
We prioritise natural materials, responsible hardwood sourcing, long-lasting finishes, and energy-efficient building methods. Our approach focuses on creating homes that age beautifully rather than following fast trends.
Why Ayamara Stands Out
  • In-house construction management with 15+ years of finishing expertise
  • European-level craftsmanship rare in the Costa del Sol market
  • Distinctive Andalusian–Japandi design language
  • Direct control over furniture production (Indonesia, Romania, Italy)
  • Proven renovation track record in Spain and the Netherlands
  • Integrated concept: Structure → Finishes → Furniture
  • Consistent execution with no shortcuts
"Ayamara doesn't just build homes—we create timeless, design-led living experiences grounded in craftsmanship, quality, and architectural identity."
