Guy Sirota has been shortlisted for Living Space – Middle East & Africas Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

This ten-year-old seventh-floor penthouse has undergone a comprehensive and thorough renovation by Guy Sirota that includes the demolition and redesign of all spaces. As the couple who own the apartment were looking to make improvements, Guy asked them what their dream home would be – their response was a place where they and their family can grow for many years.

The design scheme plays with industrial style and earthy tones. The interiors feel at home relative to its environment as a city apartment, offering a functional and calm space for urban living. It takes on luxury with a modern approach with its mix of materials and textures, whilst being a family space at its core. Guy Sirota uses these varied finishes as a way to define each space. The living area remains light with natural tones such as wood and brown leather, and a cabinet TV wall has been installed with a zero door and without visible jambs to give a smooth and clean appearance. The kitchen is a flat matte black, family-friendly space where cabinetry allows sides to remain clear. It is both functional and modern in style. The kitchen windows have been replaced by a panoramic window that overlooks the kitchen

The original opening to the balcony has been enlarged by means of a constructor to provide a connection between the interior and outdoor living spaces. Created as a long and rectangular open area, the balcony provides additional space for the owners to relax or enjoy the company of family and friends, whilst the floor-to-ceiling doors create an impressive feeling of space within the interior. On the balcony, Guy Sirota created a seating area with a panoramic glass railing for a view across the city, as well as an outdoor dining area and lounge space.
