In pursuit of luxury, we opted to make this a two storey apartment in the heart of the city at Sanepa. We enter into a grand open kitchen-dining-living space with a view of the city in three directions.
Floored in light cherry wood, the walls washed in a clean white and ample natural light gives the whole space a very airy and bright feel aiding in it looking even more spacious. Additionally this floor accommodates a common powder room cum laundry, a bedroom with an attached bathroom and a floating wooden stairway leading to the upper floor.
The landing of the stairway itself serves as a mini library with its very own floor to ceiling shelves and a small reading chair, perfect to cozy up in with ample light coming through the full glazed doors towards the terrace in the upper floor.
The top floor features a multipurpose lounge area overlooking the terrace with a beautiful view of the city to the south and east. The master bedroom here has its own private balcony to the east and a spacious walk in closet with a vanity basin and an attached master bath. This floor also connects to the emergency exit stairs to the west side of the building.
All in all it is a well rounded space designed to cater to all of its users' needs.
