The interior design of this penthouse apartment for a couple who loves to entertain, centres on imbuing a sense of spatial legibility. With the short sides of this unit aligning almost perfectly to the sun’s path, the design shapes the spaces into receptacles of light, inviting the morning sun deep into the living/dining room, and pointing towards the sunset glow that illuminates an evening’s gathering at the roof terrace.
Flanked by full-height cabinets finished in cement-like laminate, the living/dining room is laid with the closest-matching microcement flooring, which appears to rise as a block of concrete dry-kitchen counter, cantilevering slightly towards the main door to suggest a threshold area. This monolithic space is paired with a walnut-like materiality in the form of laminate panels and floor tiles, concealing the entries to the bedrooms and common bath through frameless doors, and paving the way to the kitchen via the same flooring as the entry foyer.
The common bath continues the play of light and shadows with an even darker palette, and yet different textures emerge upon closer inspection. The master bedroom cabinetry with rounded corners adorns a timber-like laminate that is rustic and warm at the same time, and a curved wall which eases the entry to the master bath is finished with stone-like mosaic reminiscent of the immense Icelandic landscapes that staged the couple’s wedding photoshoot.
Many details seek to enhance the design’s readability. Ceiling lights liken to airport runway lights, and the living room recalls the stark axiality of a fashion runway. On the upper level, a series of undulating blocks string together functionality and imaginability: appearing as scaled-down pillars, or animal stick-figures, these rhythmic surfaces serve as seatings or tables at various scales and for groups of different sizes. Along the same axis, terrace floor lights reference once more the runway, and the vast roof-scape becomes the runway for children. Conceived as a series of dualities such as lower/upper levels, light/dark materialities, private/public zones, and enclosed/open spaces, the design gets enlivened as the couple and their young son transverse across all these layers of dwelling.
