Penthouse in Soho

No items found.
Situated within a landmarked building in Soho, this project created a unified living space by removing the mezzanine level, resulting in an open and connected layout. The uniqueness of this penthouse lies in its deliberate choice to forego the presence of doors within its interior. This design decision challenges the traditional notion of privacy and creates a seamless flow throughout the space. By eliminating internal doors, the penthouse promotes a sense of openness and connectivity. The penthouse is divided into two distinct areas. The first area features carefully selected stone types incorporated into the walls, drawers, entrance door, staircases, showers, and kitchen. The second area showcases reclaimed wood sourced from England, repurposed for the flooring. Natural light floods the central space through a central skylight from the triple height space.
