Andalucia, Malaga, Marbella, Spain

In a world that prizes flawlessness, this architectural marvel, with its five splendid bedrooms, stands as a tribute to imperfection. The contemporary villa, spanning 523 m² on a 4,139 m² plot nestled in the serene hills of Benahavis, seamlessly blends the fluidity of water with a cleverly passive design, showcasing high thermal mass exposed concrete.

Approaching this abode via a tree-lined driveway reveals a 500-year-old olive tree and a lush yucca, witnesses to the winds of the Andalusian plains. A natural bamboo bridge hovers over water, guiding you to a grand entrance that unfolds a breathtaking sight.

A majestic 20-foot-tall ficus bonsai peacefully resides in a reflective pool, harmoniously interacting with a waterfall and filtered sunlight from a glass ceiling above. Inspired by architectural icons Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe, the residence seemingly hovers over multiple water bodies that gracefully traverse through the house.

Connecting the east and west wings is a floating bridge housing private suites and a study adorned with global memorabilia, including a lunar piece. This haven caters to diverse interests, embracing football fans, golfers, music enthusiasts, and devotees of Tintin and Captain Haddock.

The primary suite astonishes with two interconnected dressers by Italian house Febal Casa, unveiling a private garden adorned with regal conifers and the fragrance of wild jasmines, offering a royal dressing experience in front of a floor-to-ceiling back-lit mirror.

The suite's shower area is a spectacle, featuring a retractable glass ceiling for a celestial midnight bath. Luxurious bronze Noken accessories complement the opulent modern linear design.

Wandering through the residence on dark oak wide panels leads to a master bed that inclines, massages, and even charges your phone. Illuminated by the warm glow of two exquisite Tom Dixon melt lights in a rust orange hue, the ambiance exudes sophistication.

Within the property lies a tranquil Japanese garden, a haven for contemplation over green matcha tea. A melting mirror suspended from the concrete ceiling creates a whimsical effect, reminiscent of Alice's adventures in Wonderland.

Crossing a floating bridge adorned with a waterfall and a lush green moss-covered wall transports you to a magical realm, where panoramic views of rolling hills through a single pane of glass further enchant.

This residence, an invitation to your personal magical world, features living spaces designed for both comfort and elegance, including a cozy living room boasting a fireplace and ample natural light.
