TATALI SKY , ZIMBALI
Tatali Sky , situated in the Tatali Precinct at Zimbali Lakes , is an exquisite model of contemporary luxury design . Designed by Craft of Architecture , this elegant and modern landmark boasts panoramic views and seamlessly integrates with nature through its terraces ; offering residents breathtaking views and a tranquil sanctuary .
At Tatali Sky there are 22 residences spread over six floors , each featuring a private lobby , lift , and wrap-around terraces with pools and an external kitchen / bar , allowing residents to enjoy the outdoors and entertain guests in the privacy of their penthouse . The building is exceptionally efficient as it is assembled with central cores which do away with long shared passages that take up valuable frontage . These penthouses have been planned to receive the north light and the south view of the sea .
The residences needed to have floor to ceiling and wall-towall glazing for views , maximum daylight and ventilation . A lot
of emphasis has been placed on the façade ’ s design to avoid the monotonous look of long curtain wall . The façade design allows for the glazing but also creates the required privacy and is done in such a way that each owner can easily recognise their penthouse from a distance .
The building form steps in as it goes up , creating a set of ‘ cascading ’ terraces that follow the slope of the hilltop on which the building is positioned . This way , the architecture becomes an extension of the landscape on one of the highest outlooks within the Zimbali Lakes estate .
The design team utilised the latest 3D modelling software and BIM systems to design the building to optimise on the views that they are uninterrupted and to make the building form belong in the surrounding environment . The architecture balances contemporary design and tranquillity , providing residents with a unique and unparalleled residential experience .
