Modern and Elegant Duplex Penthouse by Joel Sanders Architects

Joel Sanders Architects has designed an amazing interior design of a modern duplex penthouse. The challenge posed by the design of this duplex penthouse was how to take advantage of the best asset of this corner unit – its dramatic diagonal downtown views that were compromised by discontinuous groupings of conventional double hung windows. a large window in the paint color blue / gray corner of the city will make a scene that we see from the penthouse to be more beautiful.

A darker inner band, lined with natural materials – walnut paneling and banquettes upholstered in deep blue mohair – defines the entry, stairwell and second floor pool/guest room. A bright outer zone, lit by windows, defines the double height corner living/media room and kitchen/dining area on the first floor and the master bedroom suite above. It’s contrasting neutral palette of white and grey synthetic materials – concrete, fritted-glass, and stainless and powder coated steel – focuses attention on the “sky zone” that frames city views. Interior apertures frame views between these contrasting areas.
