acid-etched glass fixed panel,
allowing passive light into
the internal space. All ensuite
walls are clad in metallic
copper penny round mosaics
by Ann Sacks with a custom
white carrera marble vanity
with a mitered drawer front
and dark grey timber veneer
shelf below. As in the main
reception room, the nature of
this space is multifunctional,
aligned with the client’s
wishes.
On the alternate side of the
plan sit the guest toilet and
children’s rooms. The guest
toilet is neatly tucked into
the circulation and continues
the soft grey cream and soft
pink colour palette. Sleek Boffi
tapware adds to the clean
modern layout. The main
wall is fully clad in a subtle
patchwork of varying tonal
porcelain patterned tiles by
Patricia Urquiola. A textured
round bronzed mirror and
decorative branch shaped
wall sconce add to the gently
organic feel of the room.
The two children’s rooms offer
bright, colourful, and youthful
interiors with a variety of
specialty details allowing for
creative and individual spaces.
The bedroom along the
south façade uses a medley
of greens, yellows, and
purple tones with small-scale
patterning.
The other bedroom and
ensuite feature soft pinks and
peaches with a pearlised floral
wall covering and built-in
joinery. The ensuite here is a
brightly-coloured and well-lit
space with full-height walls
covered in glass mosaics that
transition from dark to soft
pink in a gradient manner.
Like its sister bathroom, it
features a custom vanity
mirror which is playful,
painterly and back-etched.
The children’s TV lounge area
is located in the southwest
corner with a custom, fullheight media and storage unit
by Molteni and C. At the end
of the unit is an integrated,
acid-etched glass panel, which
connects back to the adjacent
kitchen. A soft grey corner
‘tufty time’ sofa by B + B Italia
rests on a brightly coloured
custom-designed wool rug
byKNOF design, which adds to
the relaxed and playful vibe.
Susan Knof summed up the
project by saying ‘Above all,
this penthouse scheme fulfils
the client’s brief, providing a
home with clever planning
and an astute awareness of
detail. But, more than that,
the quality of the finishes,
the balanced palette, the
customised furnishings and
an overriding commitment
to considered design fuse
together and culminate in a
sophisticated and harmonious
contemporary luxury
penthouse.’
