Rooftop Extension Zoute Apartment

This penthouse extension is designed with the precision of a ship’s interior, optimizing every centimeter. Each element is thoughtfully placed and optimized for spatial experience and maximum storage space.

 

A double-height dormer window on the south side and a mezzanine by this window create a living space bathed in natural light, offering a surprising sense of openness and spaciousness. The mezzanine features an organic design that seamlessly blends with the curved lines of the dormer. Moreover, the dynamically rising contours of the dormer perfectly align with the height differences of the surrounding buildings: the higher right side corresponds with the taller neighbor and the lower left side with the lower neighbor on the left.

 

A carefully curated selection of materials – natural stone, rough white plasterwork, red copper, and wood – is applied throughout the apartment, creating a harmonious and soothing whole.
