ERBIL PENTHOUSE

PORTFOLIO — Erbil

Erbil | 2019

The Narrative: Layered Transparency Designed for an exclusive penthouse within a prominent residential tower, this interior architecture challenges standard open-plan layouts through structural transparency. By utilizing operable, high-polished metallic partitions and glass dividers, the space balances grand communal visibility with immediate, intimate privacy. The flow feels naturally continuous, guided by deep perspective lines and a deliberate interplay of light and reflection.
Materiality & Spatial Execution
• The Threshold & Zoning: Space division relies on custom-fabricated, floor-to-ceiling gold metallic folding screens and fluted glass panels. These architectural elements allow the main living lounge to open completely toward an indoor pool sanctuary on one side and a dramatic sunken majlis on the other, creating flexible programmatic zoning without erecting solid walls.
• Textural Contrast: The interior strikes a sharp balance between cold stone and warm, reflective accents. High-gloss marble floor slabs run throughout the circulation paths, contrasted by dark wood decking surrounding the pool and the plush, rich velvet upholstery of the deep-set sunken lounge.
• Architectural Lighting & Ceiling Planes: Monolithic ceiling recesses conceal crisp linear LED tracks that pull the eye through the main corridors. This clean geometry is juxtaposed with highly decorative statement installations—including a massive, organic crystal chandelier cluster and woven metallic mesh drapery that filters ambient light into a soft shimmer.
