Description

In a world obsessed with perfection, the Floating House comprises five magnificent rooms that celebrate imperfection and a breathtaking architectural marvel.

The contemporary villa, measuring 523 m², sits on a 4,139 m² plot nestled in the tranquil hills of Benahavis. This home beautifully combines the fluidity of water with an intelligently passive design featuring exposed, high-thermal-mass concrete.

As you approach the house along a driveway lined with well-maintained trees, you are greeted by a 500-year-old olive tree and a lush yucca, both witnesses to the winds of the Andalusian plains. A natural bamboo bridge floats over the water, leading to the grand entrance, where a breathtaking view unfolds.

A magnificent 20-foot-tall ficus bonsai stands serenely in a reflecting pool, playfully engaging with a waterfall and sunlight filtered through a glass ceiling above. The influence of architectural legends Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe is evident in the design, with the Floating House appearing to float on several bodies of water that gracefully flow through the house.

A floating bridge connects the east and west wings, housing the private suites and an office adorned with souvenirs from around the world, including a piece of the moon. This residence caters to a variety of interests, whether you're a football fan, a golfer, a music lover, or a Tintin and Captain Haddock aficionado.

The master suite is a marvel, comprising two separate dressing rooms with an interconnected design by the Italian firm Febal Casa. These dressing rooms open onto a private garden with majestic conifers and the scent of wild jasmine, creating a regal dressing experience in front of a floor-to-ceiling backlit mirror.

The suite's shower area is simply spectacular, featuring a retractable glass ceiling for a unique midnight bath under the stars. Luxurious Noken bronze fixtures add to the opulence of the modern, linear design.

Continuing through the house on wide, dark oak panels, you encounter a master bed that reclines, massages, and even charges your phone. The ambiance is enhanced by the warm glow of two beautiful Tom Dixon lamps cast in a rusty orange hue.

Within the property, you'll find a serene Japanese garden, offering the perfect spot for quiet contemplation over a cup of matcha green tea. A melting mirror suspended from the concrete ceiling creates a whimsical effect, reminiscent of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Crossing a floating bridge with a waterfall on one side and a thick wall covered in green moss on the other, you are transported into a magical world, where the hills beyond a single pane of glass add even more to the enchanting experience.

Casa Flotante invites you to enter your own magical world. The living spaces are designed for comfort and elegance, with a cozy living room featuring a fireplace and abundant natural light. The house is adorned with high-end brands and products, including Italian wall art made of stabilized moss, doors from the ADL Mitica collection, and designer lighting.

The minimalist Italian Modulnova kitchen is fully equipped with Gaggenau and Smeg appliances and features a unique Quooker CUBE water tap providing boiling, hot, cold, filtered, and sparkling water. The open-plan kitchen connects to an elegant dining room and a terrace for al fresco dining.

A home theater is an essential addition to any modern home. The latest 98-inch Samsung TV will be moved to the poolside theater once the exceptional villa is ready in September.

With its stunning architecture, thoughtful design and unique elements, this property is a testament to the beauty of embracing imperfection and blending harmoniously with nature.
