Penthouse F6.1
The penthouse effectively functions as a separate villa situated on top of an apartment building.
The layout is designed in the shape of a cross. This allows for the separation of individual functions such as the dining area, living zone, children's room zone, and sleeping zone into distinct segments. Each wing of the cross has its own terrace corresponding to its function. At the core of the layout is an elevator and staircase that connect the penthouse with the building.
This core is emphasized inside with a dark finish and serves as the central pillar of the apartment, around which the layout flows freely.
The main benefit of the entire apartment is the stunning views and the façade, which highlights these views thanks to the large glass surfaces. The exterior of the entire city seems to invade the interior. Therefore, the layout of the living area is designed with maximum emphasis on openness. Immediately from the entrance door, surprising sightlines emerge. However, the large glass surfaces of the façade also bring the issue of overheating during the summer months. This is prevented by a cooling system that allows a slow stream of cold air to flow down through perforations in the ceiling along the entire façade. The interior is thus not disturbed by grilles or the noise of cooling units.
The kitchen is separated from the dining room by a stone island, and a large solid wood table dominates the dining area. Due to its size and weight, along with a piano, it was transported into the apartment by a crane.
Each wing has its own bathroom. Therefore, their appearance differs to correspond with the individual functional units. The master bathroom is connected to the dressing room and is color-coordinated with the veneer of the wardrobes. In the bathroom for two teenage boys, small blue mosaic tiles were used in contrast to the large-format tiles that cover the entire height of the room.
The lighting is provided by partially recessed fixtures from Deltalight, which are variably mounted on a track in the living area, making it possible to create different lighting moods. The central light fixture in the living room comes from the Sattler workshop. Above the nightstands in the bedroom hang fixtures from the Spanish company Marset.
