8 ways to give a penthouse feel to your apartments!
Pent Houses are remarkable designs within an architectural context as they make use of an otherwise double height space within an apartment typology and offer up a grand, resplendent feel at the very core of its ambiance. Legend has it that penthouses are the top tiered suites of the very rich, and so emulating that kind of an ambiance within a humble small scale home can be a bit of a challenge. However, clever construction and structural detailing has allowed us to craft imaginative outlooks within our space, and today, we will be taking a look at a few interiors that have managed to do just that.
Minimal
This interior is the perfect example of how a minimal outlook on the aesthetic can bring about a drastic change in the spatial composition of any space. The use of light materials combined with a minimal ceiling design effect creates an illusion of capaciousness that gives this small interior the image of a penthouse.

Taller
There is only a certain limit to which you can manipulate the space to seem taller, and when going the way of a la atrium is not an option, a minimal increase in the height of simple walls can suffice. You can always add accents and highlights to illuminate that change in all the best ways.

Double Height
One of the more commonplace ways to ramp up the aesthetics of a small space, the double height concept can make any space seem wider, spacious and taller than it actually is – an instant penthouse contender.

Whites
A white on white color palate can create a rather bland color scheme, but it definitely makes the space seem larger. The trick is to add in a layer of texture, no matter how obscure to give off a more lively and three dimensional feel to the ambiance.
