Penthouse Pāfekuto – Vibrancy between the high rise monotony! by Conarch Architects

Designed by India’s well renowned firm Conarch Architects, Penthouse Pāfekuto is a successfully transformed duo of two high rise apartments into a boot hill to soften the family’s frequent visits.

This picture perfect design is an amalgamation of dynamism and flamboyance offering a multi-level space with 8,000 square feet of indoor area and 6,000 square feet of outdoor space spread across three levels.

Design nuances!

The enthusiastic visionaries manifested generic apartment units into prodigious grandeur honoring the client’s needs and lifestyle.

The two apartments were merged together providing a master suite, private work-space, a guest bedroom and sit out area along with a spread out indoor & outdoor living area, a kitchen and three bedrooms in the later which led to funnel effect hence passive ventilation, making the staircase well act as a chimney, restricting the need of mechanical air conditioning to extremely hot days.

The point of convergence is the cantilevered floating wood steps with the artistic fall protection in a Prussian blue backdrop characterizing its coherence within the convolution.

With slender plasticity of a high rise, Penthouse Pāfekuto has unleashed its existence to become a melodious experience for the family. Spaces were transformed having perceptible connections with one another, unifying the indoors with 'green' outdoor terraces via circular niches and materials. Integrating the outdoors led to another benefit of day lighting, illuminating the space with natural light resulted in contributing in energy efficiency in the penthouse. Shading devices and overhangs restricted direct solar radiation, minimizing the heat gain. The diversified duo of the penthouse is extended to magnificent double height outdoor area at both the levels anchoring the humans in the arms of nature.
