General Information :
Project Name: Ultra-Modern Luxurious Penthouse in Ahmedabad
Nº1 Private residence in Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2023
Nº1 is an exclusive penthouse located in one of the most iconic streets in the city of Amsterdam, Vondelstraat, right next to the Vondelpark.
The uniqueness of how this house has been conceived is the way space and volumen has been understood on a totally new level, offering an enormous variety of spaces, sequences and visual relations.
Largely untouched since it’s construction in the 1970s, a complete redistribution of this Barcelona penthouse was undertaken in order to adapt to a contemporary open plan lifestyle. The project’s design responds to a modernized approach to an overall classic building and the will to preserve its inherited elegance, altogether aligned to the clients’ preferences. Superfluous partitions were removed, connecting all day areas into a large fluid space thus avoiding corridors. Special attention was given to the custom designed pivot elements that organize the open plan into different settings. A granite high bar countertop, three extra-large marble center tables and a hovering fireplace create a sequence of interrelated atmospheres. Each of them was conceived as a strong monolithic element that calls for a spontaneous floating circulation around it. In this way, the former fireplace was detached from the wall becoming a singular free-standing piece.
A blooming garden in the concrete jungle where to rest, enjoy with friends and family, and foster your health and mind.
Creating a nourishing and refreshing space was the main task when designing the space. The use of warm materials such as wood and stucco, combined with the lush greeneries everywhere, creates a tropical and almost alive environment.
CLIENT BRIEF: The client was a young entrepreneur who wanted a house where she could completely relax and feel at home. The client had no design constraints nor any personal impositions. This bold hued and highly-textural house has the impressions of freedom and containment; of shelter and openness.
In the heart of Los Jerónimos neighborhood, declared a World Heritage Site, a few meters away from the Prado Museum and the Retiro Park, you will find this 180sqm penthouse.
The building, built in 1905, has been segregated over the years into smaller apartments than the original ones, except for the top floor, which maintains the original housing scheme. The different patios that pierce the volume, mold and bathe the perimeter of the apartment with an intense light.
The turquoise pool and the flora fluttering in the urban spirit turn this penthouse in Tel Aviv into a lovely corner overlooking a gray urban landscape, which sings out to the bustling city.
The apartment was designed for a couple with 3 girls and a dog who wanted a house with a pool along with a large outdoor kitchen, a living area, and a jacuzzi for perfect accommodation. Within the home, the privacy of each room alongside discreet and personal bathrooms were a priority.
Architect Raz Melamed took on the task and entered the project when the building was under construction. In collaboration with the building architect, structural changes were made to the columns and walls, including the unique aluminum design and the preparation of the infrastructure for it.
This penthouse apartment, located on the 21st floor of an apartment block in central Israel was bought by a family of six. The owners wanted a “Villa in the clouds”, in the sense that the property, spreading across 220 sqm of living space, and a 170 sqm balcony, would incorporate all the functionalities that standard private homes have, such as a family room, a wide corridor and a stunning outdoor space. Designer Nitzan Horowitz, who was hired to manage the renovation, designed the apartment in a way that would accommodate the family’s needs. The project started on the day the first set of keys was received and lasted seven months.
The 235m² duplex penthouse was the choice of artist and influencer from Minas Gerais, Sophia Mattar, who arrived in São Paulo two years ago. With the desire to live in a property with open spaces, minimalist, elegant, but above all a true haven of peace, he hired the architects Amanda Castro and Giovana Giosa, from the Studio AG office, to lead the renovation of the project.
The generous 60m² outdoor area, with a backyard style, became even more cozy after being fully integrated into the social environments. All the walls on this floor, with the exception of the structural ones, were torn down, including the other balcony, which gave space to the dining room, which provided multipurpose, relaxing and uncluttered environments.
This project has completely modified the look and use of this two story penthouse through a limited amount of changes.
The main goal has been to open up the interior space toward the outdoor surrounding terrace.
In order to do so, the night and day areas have been sharply divided following the two floors: living room, kitchen, dining room and guest bathroom on the lower level, two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper level.
