The double-height living room serves as the focal point of the apartment, seamlessly connected on the same level to the open-plan dining room and kitchen. The first floor houses the master and guest bedrooms, a gym, and an office. As the home is occupied by a couple without children, the master bedroom takes center stage. Designed as a domestic "dress circle," it offers sweeping views of the living room, including the pool, and the plant-filled patio beyond. Privacy can be easily regained with the help of folding white panels. The master bedroom also boasts direct access to the pool through an adjoining terrace, allowing the couple to take a plunge whenever they desire. The pool can also be reached from the lower floor via a pristine white switchback staircase that ascends to an elevated deck from the patio.
According to the architect, "building the pool structure was the most challenging aspect of the project," both in terms of design and construction. However, reflecting on the result, she affirms, "I think it was well worth it." And judging by the apartment's breathtaking interiors, it undoubtedly was.
