This city penthouse was designed down to the smallest detail, not to impress, but to create a sense of wonder.
The concept, Burgundian Minimalism, brings together a love of French culture and wine with a refined, understated aesthetic. At the heart of the home, the staircase and elevator are housed within a central volume around which the entire interior is organised. The walls and doors are finished in the same dark oak, creating a continuous architectural element throughout the home. The circular routing creates a natural flow through the spaces rather than a fixed route, allowing each space to unfold gradually.
Pure materials, subtle contrasts and carefully composed sightlines create rhythm without visual noise. Custom detailing, a curated art collection and the integrated wine display add character and depth.
The patio and rooftop terrace extend the interior into the city, bringing in light, air and views. A home that reveals itself gradually, through layers of material, detail and atmosphere.
