Nestled along the Brooklyn Waterfront, overlooking the East River and Manhattan Skyline, the Kent Avenue penthouse apartment is one of its kind; New York’s industrial vibe meets soft minimalism and tactile materials in this urban retreat above the vibrating city.

A villa on a hillside presents itself as an understated, modern elegance. The choice of materials and colors is a nod to the facade and the exterior space - for example, the use of natural stone and soft neutral tones.

Opening the private elevator doors of the Penthouse reveals a 'Black Box,' an entrance characterized by a monochromatic black palette. The floors and walls are clad in 'Nero Antico' black marble, while the ceiling features black wooden slats. White Carrara terrazzo flooring, robust stainless-steel blocks, and white walls create a beautiful backdrop for displaying art. Here is Rashid Johnson's 'Cosmic Slop,' reaching from floor to ceiling, and there are two paintings by Lucio Fontana and Wade Guyton. The penthouse has become an art gallery.

The fusion of Danish design classics and new bespoke solutions. A tribute to what was and what is now, the design team found great inspiration from the Danish painter Ebba Nina Beck Carstensen, while constantly searching for contrasting materials, styles, etc., allowing viewers to embark on a fascinating journey through different rooms.

A vivid example of harmonious integration between architecture and architectural lighting.

This luxurious private residence in France has undergone meticulous renovation, with every corner and detail of the villa completely transformed.

Lighting is a decisive factor in the design of a living space. It affects the atmosphere, emotions, and lifestyles of each individual. A lighting solution will help to achieve a balanced and harmonious integration between lighting and interior, and that lighting achieves both functional and aesthetic requirements at the same time. Ultimately, the right lighting solution will transform a living space into a place of relaxation and peace.

The philosophy of this project – and Elke Van Goel:

“Less is more; in architecture and interior design, you have to let the natural, organic elements speak for themselves.”

The result is a spacious living room, an open space with different areas to welcome conversations, adapted to the homeowner's needs.

A project with a unique location, hidden on the top floor of the building, with a view overlooking Lake Wörthersee in southern Austria. Formerly the spa area of a luxury hotel, this space has now been transformed into a spacious 260 m2 penthouse by the skilled hand of an architect. Light and shadow, materials and colors, as well as art and form, play a superb role in this high-class penthouse.

Cozy living space

Light has a unique impact on the atmosphere and perception of space. In the case of the private house project in Lower Austria, Austria, it was important for Michael Karasek from the architectural office Baukooperative, especially with the large volume of the building, to exude warmth and a sense of security.

Perched on the volcanic cliffs of Santorini, the luxurious Saint Hotel comprises seven levels, following the contours of the hillside. The interior design project utilizes designs from Foscarini to create a space that feels both familiar and home-like, while also enhancing the exclusivity of a high-end resort experience.
