Gorgeous Five-Story Penthouse With A Sophisticated Interior Decor

Gorgeous Five-Story Penthouse With A Sophisticated Interior Decor

Luxury, sophistication and clean and simple modernity are just a few of the defining characteristics of a wonderful 5-story penthouse located in Cape Town. This is a project completed by the talented teams from SAOTA in collaboration with studios ARRCC and OKHA.


The penthouse spreads over 5 floors in total with large terraces and full-height windows

The natural site elevation gave the architects the opportunity to put a lot of emphasis on the beautiful views which can be admired from all five levels of this gorgeous penthouse/ private art gallery.

The entrance lobby is decorated with lots of brass details, LED accent lighting and a sophisticated palette of finishes in general

The team was also careful to preserve the views from the neighboring sites as well, avoiding making any modifications that would obstruct or diminish them in any way. As for this gorgeous penthouse, they gave it a terraced structure and deep overhangs, ultimately creating a structure that is able to blend into its natural surroundings and to take advantage of its location.

The interior as a whole has a very luxurious and sophisticated vibe without being overwhelmingly ornate

The main entrance into the building features a beautiful stone-clad reception area and a private lift leads up to a hallway and then a private lobby decorated with natural oak, brass accents and modern LED lighting. From there one gets to enter a double-height living area with an imposing bronze and glass staircase that offers access to the other floors.

Natural materials and soothing colors and finishes create a welcoming and enjoyable ambiance in the living area

It’s a magnificent display of beautiful natural materials complemented by luxury, sophistication but also simplicity. Ultimately, the interior design is a stylish combination of modern and art deco influences with an emphasis on rich finishes, elegant colors and lots of custom furniture and decorations.
