Elevated Penthouse
Set high above the city, this penthouse by Dori Hitti Architects is a striking expression of contemporary luxury. With furnishings curated by Interni, Milan, and a thoughtful selection of modern art, the space blends refined architecture with expressive interior design, creating a home that feels both sculptural and soulful.
The architectural foundation is clean and minimalist, built on modernist principles that emphasize balance, proportion, and spatial clarity. The open-plan layout encourages a fluid connection between living, dining, and kitchen areas while still offering a sense of intimacy in each zone. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light and draw attention to panoramic city and sea views, making the outside world part of the experience.
A rich material palette defines the atmosphere, combining dark veined marble, warm wood paneling, brushed metal, and soft upholstery. These textures are layered with restraint, allowing each surface to breathe while contributing to a consistent sense of warmth and sophistication. The neutral color scheme further elevates the materials, allowing them to shine without competing for attention.
Furniture plays a key role in shaping the visual language of the space. Curated by Interni, each piece exudes elegance and intention. Sculptural forms, such as rounded armchairs and deep velvet sofas, are paired with sleek dining elements and refined details, reflecting Italian craftsmanship and timeless design. The arrangement feels deliberate yet relaxed, promoting comfort without sacrificing aesthetic impact.
Lighting is handled with similar care. Subtle architectural fixtures provide soft, ambient light, while standout chandeliers and sculptural lamps act as functional centerpieces. These elements enhance the rhythm and mood of the interiors, adding drama where needed and softness where desired.
Art is woven seamlessly into the home’s design. Bold contemporary pieces add bursts of color and personality, strategically placed to create focal points and visual pause. Each artwork feels intrinsic to the space, contributing to its layered identity.
Even the outdoor terrace maintains the same level of refinement, offering a calm extension of the interior with elegant, low-profile furnishings and a serene atmosphere.
