An Avant Garde Residence

Led by Mohamed Badie of Badie Architects, this home has been conceived as a seamless interplay between raw, industrial aesthetics and refined craftsmanship, embodying a meticulous balance of strength and elegance.

Self-levelling concrete floors and walls create a seamless, monolithic envelope that amplifies the sense of spatial continuity, while steel cladding introduces a sculptural dimension

At the heart of the penthouse sits a statement fireplace which acts as a central point of warmth and architectural gravitas, and sets the tone for a residence that unfolds through a meticulously considered palette of materials. Every surface and finish has been selected for its resilience, visual integrity and tactile allure. Self-levelling concrete floors and walls create a seamless, monolithic envelope that amplifies the sense of spatial continuity, while steel cladding introduces a sculptural dimension, imbuing the space with both depth and permanence. Accents of stainless steel seen on the doors and exposed ductwork lend a utilitarian elegance, underscoring the industrial character of the design. Balancing these bold gestures, raw wood inserts are tactically placed to infuse warmth and texture, offering a natural counterpoint to the penthouse’s cool, hard surfaces.

Yet the V Penthouse is more than a feat of architectural clarity; it is a fully integrated smart home, where cutting-edge automation elevates daily living. From lighting and climate to security and entertainment, all systems are seamlessly controlled for an enhanced, intuitive experience. The interior is furnished with an exquisite selection of pieces from Fendi, Cassina, Flos, Minotti and other globally renowned brands, each chosen to complement the penthouse’s contemporary ethos. Adding a note of cultural depth is an authentic Kahhal Persian rug, a timeless piece of artisanal heritage, while a sculptural full marble bathtub anchors the bedroom in sculptural luxury.

Every design decision within the V Penthouse reflects an uncompromising dedication to material authenticity, spatial clarity and the future of avant-garde living.
