Steel does not need to feel heavy. It can draw the architecture with precision.

MHB steel systems are considered around proportion, sightlines and the way glass sits within the architecture. The aim is not simply to add a steel frame, but to make the opening feel deliberate, precise and connected to the design of the building.

Slender profiles allow steel to define the edge of an opening without dominating it. The result is an architectural language where structure, glass and light can work together with greater visual clarity.

01 · The local project connection

Steel becomes most convincing when the frame, the glass and the architecture read as one composition.

Royal Design Marbella represents MHB across the Costa del Sol, coordinating project information, drawings, quotations and technical conversations between the local project team and the appropriate MHB process.

One steel language. Two architectural environments.

Selected around the requirement

MHB systems respond to different conditions inside and outside the building, from fire and acoustic separation to large glazed openings, pivot movement and façade continuity.

01 · Interior

Steel systems for spaces that need separation without losing architectural clarity.

Fire, acoustic, protective and partition solutions are considered as part of the interior architecture rather than as isolated technical products.

02 · Exterior

Steel openings shaped around movement, weather and the façade.

Exterior MHB systems bring doors, windows, large glazed openings and hardware into one architectural language of steel and glass.

Architecture first · System second

The useful question is not simply which door or window to choose. It is what the opening must do technically, spatially and visually.

03 · From project review to the MHB process
Architecture · Drawings · Coordination · MHB

The steel system begins with the project, not with a product list.

Before the route is defined

The opening, architectural intent and project information need to be understood before the appropriate MHB route can be coordinated. The earlier that conversation begins, the more useful the process becomes.

01

Read the project

The conversation begins with the architecture: plans, elevations, sections, opening requirements and the role the steel system is expected to play within the building.

02

Identify the MHB route

The relevant interior or exterior system route is considered according to the opening, movement, glazing and project requirements rather than selected as an isolated catalogue decision.

03

Coordinate the information

Royal Design Marbella coordinates drawings, quotations and technical conversations, helping the local architect and project team connect their requirements with the appropriate MHB process.

04

Move into the MHB process

Once the relevant route has been established and the project information has been coordinated, the work continues through the appropriate MHB process for the selected system.

The role of Royal Design Marbella

One local point of coordination between the project in the Costa del Sol and the appropriate MHB route.

Royal Design Marbella represents MHB across the Costa del Sol. Our role is focused on the earlier project stages: understanding the requirement, reviewing project information, coordinating quotations and technical conversations, and participating in site visits or measurements when these are required.

The value of steel is not its presence. It is how precisely it defines the opening.

Why MHB enters the conversation

Steel can give an opening a clear architectural identity without making the frame the dominant object. The value lies in the relationship between proportion, glass, movement and material.

The steel line works best when it supports the architecture without asking to become the architecture.

01 · Proportion

Keep the line precise

Steel can define the perimeter of an opening with a clear and deliberate visual line, allowing the frame to contribute to the composition without overwhelming it.

02 · Materiality

Let steel frame the glass

The relationship between steel and glass gives the opening its character. The two materials are considered together rather than treated as separate decorative elements.

03 · Continuity

Carry one material language through the project

Doors, windows, glazed divisions and different types of movement can be considered within one broader architectural language of steel and glass.

Begin with the architecture

The strongest steel openings are not selected because steel is the objective. They are selected because the architecture needs that particular line, proportion and material presence.

06 · MHB questions
MHB · Marbella · Project coordination

Questions that usually come before an MHB project moves forward.

Before drawings become decisions

Most questions at the beginning are not really about choosing a product. They are about understanding whether MHB is the right route, when to involve the project team and what information is needed next.

01 What is MHB, and why would I consider it for a project in Marbella?

MHB enters the conversation when a project needs architectural steel to do more than simply frame an opening. Its systems bring steel and glass together across doors, windows, glazed openings and interior applications. For projects in Marbella and the Costa del Sol, Royal Design Marbella acts as the local MHB representative and helps connect the architectural brief with the appropriate MHB route.

02 What types of MHB steel systems can I explore through Royal Design Marbella?

You can explore both interior and exterior MHB routes. The interior range on this page includes fire-rated doors, acoustic doors, protected glazed walls, steel-framed glass partitions and lock systems. Exterior options include steel sliding systems, steel windows, steel doors, folding systems, pivot systems and architectural hardware.

03 When should I involve Royal Design Marbella in an MHB project?

Ideally, before the openings and system decisions are completely fixed. Early plans, elevations and sections are often enough to start a useful conversation. Looking at the architecture first makes it easier to understand the opening, the type of movement required and which MHB route should be considered before the project advances too far.

04 Does Royal Design Marbella install MHB systems?

Royal Design Marbella's role on this page is local MHB representation and project coordination. We help understand the brief, review project information and coordinate drawings, quotations and technical conversations. Site visits or measurements can also form part of that coordination when they are required. The exact execution route depends on the selected system, the project and the appropriate MHB process.

05 Can MHB systems be considered for both interior and exterior spaces?

Yes. The important thing is that the interior and exterior requirements are not treated as if they were the same problem. Interior projects may need fire, acoustic, protective or spatial separation. Exterior openings bring different questions around movement, glazing and the relationship with the façade. The MHB route should be considered around the actual architectural requirement.

06 How do I choose between MHB sliding, pivot and folding systems?

Start with what the opening needs to do, not with the name of the product. Sliding, pivot and folding systems create different types of movement and different relationships with the surrounding architecture. We look at the space around the opening, the movement required, the connection with the glass and façade, and how the opening should feel when it is open and closed.

07 What should I send you to start an MHB project review or quotation?

Plans, elevations and sections are a good starting point. If you already have opening dimensions, an opening schedule, the type of movement you are considering or relevant glazing and performance requirements, send those too. Not everything needs to be final. The first step is to understand the project well enough to identify the right questions and the appropriate MHB route.

08 Can Royal Design Marbella work directly with my architect or designer?

Yes. That is often the most useful way to approach an MHB project. Royal Design Marbella can coordinate project information and technical conversations with the local architect, designer or wider project team, helping connect their requirements with the appropriate MHB process.

09 Do you work only in Marbella, or across the Costa del Sol?

Royal Design Marbella is based in Marbella and represents MHB across the Costa del Sol. The role is to provide a local point of project coordination for architects, designers and clients considering MHB architectural steel systems in the region.

10 Can I review MHB guides and system information before starting a project?

Yes. The MHB resource library on this page gives access to available guides, system information and architectural resources. It is useful when you are still exploring the options and want more context before starting a project-specific conversation with Royal Design Marbella.

The next question is project-specific

Once the architecture, opening and requirement are understood, the useful conversation becomes which MHB route actually fits the project.
