The middle and lower floor ( floor 4 & 5 of the building ) are occupied by two levels of entertaining .
A new staircase has been designed connecting both levels , featuring oak veneer , plain glass and wooden stringers painted in off white . The staircase consists of a bridge that connects to a library which is cantilevering the main part of the staircase .
This library unit is the feature of the staircase and also forms the balustrade to one side . It offers storage for books , statues and other artefacts the owner collects .
The upper floor measures approximately 800 sq ft and accommodates a very comfortable seating area and a zone for the pool table , a collector ’ s item owned by the client . The living room features furniture from Poltrona frau , knoll and LEMA .
The lower open floor plan is laid out as a relaxed kitchen zone , dining area and tv watching area . The TV area is located opposite the kitchen and balances in its elevation the open plan kitchen . The joinery accommodates all the AV equipment and a visible library and is kept very white with arrabascato stone as a vertical feature behind the TV . The dining table is from Poliform as are the chairs , while the sofa is from zanotti and the rug from the rug company .
From there the penthouse gives access to two bedrooms with a dressing area and ensuite each a secondary entrance to the apartment and a guest WC and storage .
The two en suite bathrooms are located in two gothic towers of the building which gives them great views of the surrounding area and a triple ceiling height . They have been finished in Arrabascato marble and each feature a low hanging glamorous chandelier to play with the unusual ceiling height .
The flooring throughout the penthouse is by Schotten and Hansen , the kitchen by Gemini design and features Gaggenau appliances with arrabescato backsplash and Pietra Serena worktop .
Two stones that are characteristic through their veining and are considered as character stones explains Thomas , director of TG-Studio .
