living room and kitchen are bathed in light due to
the large flush glazing elements that bound the
apartment on the north and south façades. Even
the bathrooms in the main bedrooms are fully
glazed so as to allow the natural light to permeate
into the apartment.
Embassy Towers apartments are designed for
maximum comfort. Large curtain wall windows
throughout all apartments frame the striking
expanse of our new modern city. The apartments
are composed of modern elements that define
beauty and fine living. These contemporary spaces
are planned with open and interconnecting spaces
all bathed in natural light and thus depend less on
artificial lighting. This design is intended to capture
the feeling of both being in the city, and the stillness
of one’s privacy. The apartments are finished in
carefully sought porcelain tiles, crisp glass and
warm timber that all work in fluid alignment.
The highest quality sanitary, ironmongery and
appliances have been selected in keeping with
the slick interiors. Purchasers were offered two
contemporary colour options - Consulate and
Ambassador. One colour option providing for
darker timbers and carpets, the other with slightly
lighter and more muted tones.
The ceilings are a feature in these contemporary
yet subtle interiors, with sleek lines and minimalist
feature lighting. The fully integrated kitchens
34
incorporate all the luxuries required in this calibre
of apartment building, with white, muted tones and
stone as a neutral base for the contemporary Smeg
appliances. The kitchen also has a floating glass
breakfast table that looks out over the wooded
southern views.
Penthouses are the height of elegance,
crowning the building to maximise the views and
roof terraces. These large double volume units are
bathed in light and wrapped in remarkable views
of the city.
Structure
The principle of the apartment building is to provide
simple, large open spaces so the columns grids
are larger than most apartment buildings of this
nature. The columns are tucked away between
divisible walls and the five observational lift cores
not only provide structural rigidity to the south, but
also exclusive entry into the units and an incredible
journey where the tree lined south view is unfolded
to the occupant.
While two bed units share a small intimate lift
lobby between units, the simplex and penthouses,
as well as the three-bed unit to the east, all have
direct entry into the apartments from the lifts.
The large column grid also provides large parking
spaces and private garages in the basements for
the more exclusive penthouses and simplex units.
