House of Dreams, Ibiza

Originally built in the 1990s, the House of Dreams was designed by Zucchero Architects after the traditional Ibiza home and orientated to enjoy stunning views toward Ibiza Old Town. The property, which has a large pool and is perched above the sea, was completed renovated with two main goals in mind: to embrace the traditional Ibiza bohemian style, combined with modern comforts to ensure year round liveability, and to create more open areas that easily flown from one to another – inside and outside.

This was accomplished by replicating the arc shape, which is found on the exterior porch arches, inside the house, combined with handcrafted "stucco" lime wash in various textures. The arc shape was also the inspiration for the custom made kitchen island which is a social focal point of the villa. The flooring both inside and outside are composed of large, delicately marbled Italian porcelain tiles in Travertine effect from the collection Navona by Flaviker, in versions Bone Cross e Bone Vein. This elegant ceramic solution is able to connect the interior spaces with the exterior in a harmonious way.

The focal point of the property is the spacious living area with double height ceiling. It has a new bespoke staircase that is designed with floating steps for elegance and lightness. The main feature of this huge room is a central hanging chandelier defined by translucent onyx circular stones varying in height and size. The arch, which was so characteristic of the old house, was used to anchor every shelf across multiple rooms.

The custom made floating wood bed in the open-concept master bedroom overlooks a wide window that provides breath-taking views of the sea and Ibiza. The bathroom, which features a stunning Cocoon bathtub, is bright and airy in the room due to an abundance of natural light. While respecting the privacy of each individual, the other bedrooms are positioned organically around the central area, creating the feeling of being in a traditional family home and each suite opens directly to its own outdoor space. This captivating residence features Bohemian-inspired furnishings and lighting, along with aged oak wood, stucco, and porcelain accents.

The villa has been equipped with underfloor heating, a rooftop Jacuzzi, warm water swimming pool and steam room to ensure the house can be enjoyed year round. Finally, the pool redesign distinguishes the House of Dreams from other homes. This consists of two shallow pools with fountains and seating to enjoy the essential views, a 10m swimming area with a swim up bar across from a dry seating lounge. The entire piece of unique Ibiza architecture is integrated through an incredibly fluid relationship between the interior and exterior.
