INTERIOR
This modern penthouse maisonette spans two levels on the 4th floor, offering a thoughtfully designed living experience with high-quality finishes throughout.

A standout feature is the private rooftop terrace, a discreet and serene retreat perfect for relaxing or entertaining. On the lower level, a cozy southeast-facing balcony provides additional outdoor space. Light floods into the home through floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and triple-glazed soundproof windows, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. A well-placed light axis across the apartment enhances its contemporary design.

The interior is defined by timeless and elegant materials, including real wood parquet flooring and a black granite worktop in the open kitchen. Black light switches and sockets subtly complement the clean and modern aesthetic. High-end touches, such as a Bora ceramic hob and recessed LED spotlights in all rooms, complete the sophisticated look. The steel staircase with oak treads connects the two levels, blending seamlessly into the open-plan layout.

The floor plan is ideal for couples or small families, offering a spacious living area, an office or additional bedroom, and two practical storage rooms: one as a utility or cloakroom, and the other as a wardrobe. The bathrooms provide both style and comfort: the lower level features a bright shower room, while the upper level boasts a luxurious space with a walk-in shower, double sinks, waterfall fittings, underfloor heating, and a soaking tub.

Convenient access is ensured with a glass elevator that takes you nearly to the doorstep of this carefully designed home.

EXTERIOR
The building features a clean, modernist facade, distinguished by its white exterior and simple geometric lines. Symmetrically arranged windows and recessed balconies create a sense of balance and visual rhythm, adding depth to the structure. Originally constructed in the 1960s, the building underwent a thoughtful extension in 2019, introducing contemporary accents that harmonize with the original architectural character.

Crowning the structure is a striking gable roof with a zinc covering, seamlessly integrating the modern roof extension. The large windows of the exposed extension bring in abundant natural light, enhancing the building’s bright and airy feel. A small triangular roof frames the entrance, which is painted in a bold blue; a subtle yet striking contrast to the otherwise neutral palette. Surrounding trees soften the urban setting, lending the building a natural, harmonious connection to its environment.

The entrance exudes understated elegance. Black terrazzo steps lead to a generous landing, where beige patterned tiles provide warmth and texture. The smooth black terrazzo staircase is paired with a black-and-white railing, creating a refined contrast. Above, a classic 1960s-style chandelier casts a soft, atmospheric glow, perfectly completing the entrance’s timeless appeal.
