Penthouse on Rothschild Boulevard

This penthouse occupies the top two floors of a 2019 building set behind a preserved Bauhaus facade on the quieter northern stretch of Rothschild. The lower level holds the reception rooms — a single continuous space of nearly ninety square metres, opening on two sides to a wrapping terrace. A sculptural steel stair rises to the private level above, where three bedroom suites face east away from the boulevard noise.

The specification is unusually complete. Joinery is bespoke throughout, the kitchen is fitted in honed Pietra Grey with Gaggenau appliances, and the entire apartment runs on a Crestron system controlling climate, lighting, shading and audio. Two dedicated parking bays and a large storage unit are included.

What distinguishes it is the outlook. Because the buildings immediately north are protected and low, the terrace holds an open view over the boulevard's tree canopy that cannot be built out.
