Aligned with the most majestic skyscrapers the city of Warsaw has seen, stands the Palace of Science and Culture. Properties surrounding it are known to have been designed impeccably up to perfection, one of them being the home of a young businessman and his fiancee. 

It’s no wonder they have decided to acquire the top floor as their own home. With the green roof finishing up the 14 floors of apartments, they are reminded every single day that a busy city doesn’t always have to lack nature. Endless sky in the day, a dark mirage of flashing lights at night. With innumerable shifting moods in between, it’s what the owners know as ordinary. 

Sylwia's decorative strategy mirrors the sporty lifestyle of the young couple in many ways. By focusing on their interests and attention to fashion in daily life, she has created interiors that are raw and bold. The apartment is divided into an open daily area and a private suite. The master bedroom containing a walk-in closet as well as a bathroom is specifically dedicated to the owners' needs. It holds a sense of coziness in its modernity. Wood in a cold, gray shade along with various pieces of stainless steel is what stands out from the moment one enters through the door. 

The layout gives a certain flow and creates an openness to the main area.
A double-sided bar connects the living room with the home office which makes you feel the maximum size of the apartment. Architecture and surroundings have to be in line with each other, literally, as can be seen in this penthouse.

With numerous touches including works of art made by Andrzej Franaszek and Tymsky Art, the apartment gains a lively contemporary spirit. 
The Arketipo sofa as well as the dining room’s amazing chandelier designed by Quasar are just some of the many pieces adding to that essence. Yet putting all those elements aside, when asked to identify their favorite aspect of their home, the clients point to the large glass windows. Natural light penetrates them, creating its own unique piece of art.
