The Story
This penthouse apartment in Jubilee Hills was gutted to its structural shell and rebuilt around a philosophy of curated restraint. Every surface, fitting, and piece of furniture was selected to serve a dual purpose or disappear entirely. Hidden storage runs floor-to-ceiling along every corridor; a pivoting walnut wall conceals the media room. The result feels twice its actual size.
The Challenge
The existing floor plan was a maze of small rooms with low ceilings, making the 3,600 sq ft apartment feel cramped despite its generous footprint.
Our Approach
We removed all non-structural partitions and replaced them with pivoting and sliding panels. Ceilings were stripped back to the concrete slab and raised to 11 ft. A continuous band of indirect lighting at the perimeter creates the illusion of floating walls.
