In the realm of contemporary architecture, few projects capture the imagination quite like this see-through penthouse, a stunning testament to the harmony of nature and design. With panoramic views of the beach to the front and a picturesque village to the rear, the home is designed to celebrate its surroundings. Every detail is meticulously curated to ensure that even moments of solitude—like taking a shower—are accompanied by the serene beauty of the sea.
The design philosophy centers on creating an inviting atmosphere that transitions seamlessly with the seasons. Warm walnut veneer brings a cozy elegance, perfectly complemented by soft, light natural stones. Unique ‘Quatre Saisons’ marble slabs adorn the kitchen and fireplace, infusing the space with character and depth.
Collaborations with local artisans enhance this vision: Van Overstraeten provides exquisite carpentry, while St. Leo Interiors adds bespoke painting techniques that elevate both walls and ceilings.
The penthouse features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, presenting a challenge that required thoughtful optimization. The design team, including the talents from Design Oostende and Studio PIEN for indoor furniture, ensured that functionality never overshadowed the open flow of the space. Meanwhile, Huis Van Oordegem’s outdoor furniture creates a seamless transition to the exterior, allowing the natural beauty to continue beyond the walls.
Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the ambiance, and Prado’s innovative designs illuminate the space with sophistication. At the heart of the home, a Metalfire fireplace serves as both a functional and aesthetic centerpiece, enhancing the cozy, elegant environment.
This penthouse is more than just a residence; it’s a celebration of thoughtful design that invites the world in while providing a sanctuary from it. In every corner, the interplay of light, materials, and views makes for a living experience that is truly extraordinary.
