Penthouse

The definitive guide to Penthouse style from the world's leading interior designers. An inspirational journey told through interviews and 250 stunning images. The penthouse is the ultimate iteration of contemporary urban living. As much a state of mind as a location, the word 'penthouse' evokes drama, luxury, endless views and lateral space. First emerging a century ago with the dawn of the skyscraper, the penthouse has become the aspirational talisman of the modern global city. Penthouse brings you inside incredible apartments such as the $200 million One Hyde Park Penthouse in London, Central Park Tower in New York - the world's highest residential building, the landmark 111 West 57th Street, Dubai's $135 million Jumeira Penthouse, and the iconic 181 Fremont in San Francisco. But it also surveys a different side to penthouse style - from coastal residences in Miami and the French Riviera to mid-century penthouses in London's Clerkenwell and the Hollywood Hills. A luxury, fabric-bound edition with over 200 stunning images, Penthouse is a journey told through interviews with leading penthouse interior designers alongside insights from real-estate leaders Sotheby's International Realty and Knight Frank. Penthouse is this generation's definitive survey of lateral style and sky-high living.
