C. Kairouz Architects have been shortlisted for Luxury Residence – Asia Pacific Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

The Park View Penthouse features stunning bird’s eye view of Melbourne. The penthouse is luxurious and expressive in design detailing. The clients aspired for spaces to reflect their personal heritage, showcasing a rich reflection of their culture. Inspired by their Middle Eastern and Moroccan background, the desire was to unite this in a modern and refined manner. The Parkview Penthouse incorporates an awe inspiring 180-degree outlook, encompassing views from ANZAC park, Melbourne’s CBD and off to the bay.

Harmonizing a warm and expressive colour palette; with a soft nod to Albert Pinto’s orientalism, and classic furniture, alongside bold artwork – the brief was dipped in luxury. The desire for the kitchen to be open and large came to life with a generous island bench, and butler’s pantry to maximise the functionality of the kitchen, which was previously located in a tight corner. The kitchen orientation, now facing north, provides for unparalleled views to the city skyline.

The sculptural design detail of the kitchen island engages with the window bench seat, keeping a clear and open floor plan which celebrates the generous scale of space for the three bedroom penthouse.

The design brief built in flexibility to turn the guest bedroom into a dedicated study, providing a lavish zone to conduct work from home. Refreshing interior design updates to the two main bathrooms result in an expressive and moody design palette, complementing the rich reflection of culture and connection for the clients

We feel the effective central flowing layout really enhances the overall experience. Every direction tantalizes a refreshing outlook and unique design detail. The combination of a warming palette, expressive textural materials, such as a chocolate brown veneer, expressive stone flooring, deep oak parquetry. fluid brass work, velvet, soft linen and so on, all ground this design with a luxury fit for its setting.
