Paying meticulous attention to detail, high-quality materials, and luxurious finishes, this 40th floor penthouse was transformed into a lavish residence with sweeping views of the surrounding city. The private elevator lobby finish is with 23 karat Moon Gold leafing, adding a touch of opulence as you enter the unit and move to the foyer. This space features dark wood and integrated doors which conceal the A/V room and electrical closet, and the ceiling is detailed with an inlaid bronze channel and iGuzzini pin lights. Moving through the main hallway, the white oak fluted panel assembly features a custom finish achieved through scraping, burning, and glazing techniques. Over 160 slabs of Iceberg Quartzite were used for the flooring and countertops, creating a stunning contrast to the rich, dark wood featured throughout the residence.
One of the most impressive elements in the home is a pair of rectangular fluted sucupira columns that create a separation before the living and dining rooms. In addition to the aesthetic function, one column conceals the HVAC units, and the other encloses a structural column and roof drain.
