The 6200 sq. ft penthouse with three sides open, was a design opportunity to bring in natural light to all liveable spaces and resulting Living room with a neutral background palette, looks stunning in the flooding sunlight through the exterior glass walls. This double heighted space is adorned with various furniture pieces like russet tan leather sofa accompanied by two lounge saddle tan leather chairs, a chic chandelier, a TV unit beneath the stairs, giving the space a wholesome feel. Here the stairs were to blend amidst the living space in such a manner as if it was an integral part of it, which was achieved by using a linear design along the straight lines of the space and working with glass & metal design for the desired result.
Located on the top floors of the building, the terraces on both levels command an exhilarating view of the charming city. With green pockets and lattice shade over the patio juxtaposing with the bar stools and the ultra-cosy designer chairs, the terrace garden designed factoring the shadow pattern, is perfect space for unwinding.
