Penthouse Design

Ambassador and Mrs. Von Freem recently purchased a luxury penthouse in downtown Dubai. They enjoy traveling, and entertaining their many friends that they have met along the way on their adventures. As well as making many connections throughout their lives, they have collected many priceless antiques from all over the world. The couple plan to still travel, but keep this penthouse as their main living space, and are willing to pay for quality. The dining room, living room and bedroom are the three household spaces that see the most activity. When entertaining, they often begin with wine and a meal, and continue into the living room for an evening of music and conversation. During their travels, the clients were captivated by Islamic Architecture, and decided to have their penthouse strongly reflect this. Ornate ceiling designs, blended with elaborate wall tiling, provide these spaces with an affluent atmosphere. Simple and low furniture, such as poofs and floor tables, mimic Islamic dining and seating styles, and latticework windows, doors and screens give the spaces a very open and versatile feel. This design has also provided the couple with the ability to show off their collectable items such as an Oud, Hookah, Vase and Calligraphic painting from the Ottoman Empire, as well as have their own private bath house in the adjacent space to their master bedroom. This design incorporates both antique and modern Islamic style, and blends in with the culturally eclectic hub of Dubai.
