What changes are being made within the framework of penthouse architecture?
In Israel, a growing trend has recently been observed in which more and more Israelis are looking to purchase penthouses. These are spaces that have similarities to a villa planning and architecture project, and they constitute a complex challenge in themselves.
Those involved in penthouse architecture know that after every purchase of a penthouse, there is a desire on the part of the buyer to carry out a meticulous redesign of the penthouse, when in terms of the scope of work, it is at the level of villa planning.
Consider the fact that this is a large space
Similar to the planning of villas where there is a need to plan large spaces, this also applies to penthouse architecture projects.
In contrast to the fact that the penthouse apartment in a residential building is essentially the only apartment on the top floor, in most cases it is the area of one large apartment that is equal to the area of four apartments together located on the lower floors.
In a penthouse architecture project, the planning in terms of the size of the space is similar to planning villas, whether it is about the size of the furniture in the living room, the distance of the sofas and armchairs from the television, the size of the television, the proportions between the kitchen cabinets, the combination of an island in the kitchen and even the question of whether to incorporate one large, massive refrigerator in the kitchen or perhaps combine a separate refrigerator and a separate freezer.
Invite the entry of light
In a penthouse architecture project, many architects are challenged when it comes to finding creative solutions for the entry of natural light into the space, especially if it is a penthouse apartment with a relatively low ceiling.
The ability to incorporate the entry of natural light in standard apartments is easier, while in large penthouse apartments it is difficult to allow the entry of natural light due to the space of the apartment. Therefore, when planning the architecture and design of a penthouse, similar to the planning of villa architecture, the architects will place the living room and kitchen space closer to the balcony and panoramic windows so that they will benefit, as much as possible, from the entry of natural light for as long as possible and certainly during the summer days when you can enjoy long hours of light.
In order to control the intensity of light, there are many solutions within the framework of penthouse architecture and design. In many penthouses, you can incorporate electric blinds that have the ability to fold at any angle, thus allowing the tenants of the penthouse to determine the intensity of light in the house and even darken it completely when necessary. For those who prefer curtains, here too you can find places that can provide you with curtains according to the dimensions of the windows and the sides of the penthouse.
A harmonious transition between the interior of the penthouse and its exterior
Another part within the framework of penthouse architecture that receives a lot of attention is the balcony. Here too, it is a large part where it is important to incorporate garden furniture and pergolas according to its size.
When planning a penthouse, it is of course important to ensure a harmonious transition and integration between the two parts. Characterizing the interior space of the penthouse and fully adapting it to the existing space and maximizing it to the customer's satisfaction.
