This southwest-facing, two storey 220 m² penthouse apartment, has been converted into a space of calm, serene beauty.Two majestic curving walls – one in limestone, the other satin glass – lead to the main, grand living space.
With massive French limestone slabs forming the floor, walls and long benches, the apartment has two main features: a fireplace of lava stone and a fountain pouring water onto a split-face rock on the floor – a symbolic threshold the day living space and the night living space.
A spiral limestone and cedar staircase leads to the upper veranda and to a vast limestone roof terrace with a 360-degree view on to the city.Here, the meeting of modern and ancient elegance appears seamless.
