The architectural history of the cityscape inspired the interior of this inner-city penthouse.
Indoor-outdoor flow brings a sense of interaction with the city.
Fabric that shimmers against the city lights was chosen to re-upholster the 1932 easy chairs, complemented by a restored cigar table, 1939 chromed drinks trolley and classic Fortuny lamp.
Indoor living extends to the private balcony through bifold, sliding and hinged doors.
The outdoor living space appeals to the senses, with natural wood decking and pebble stones offering an escape from the concrete jungle.
The wooden screen, cane sofa and coffee table add a textural dimension to the private balcony.
White was used to differentiate the kitchen and dining space from the main living area.
Stairs lead down from the open-plan entertaining space to the two bedrooms, two bathrooms and study.
A combination of reflective tiling and mirrors enhances the bathroom's sense of space, as does the wall-hung vanity.
The emphasis of rich, dark tones are carried through to the master bedroom, with the horizontal lines in the duvet mirroring the wallpaper in the living space.
