Penthouse – Istanbul
Penthouse – Istanbul
Perched on the tallest of the seven hills above the Bosphorous river is a penthouse apartment. It has huge electric ‘guillotine’ glazed frames that slide to allow unbroken views from the Bridge to the Mediterranean Sea.
A white helical staircase welded from steel sections on site by ship builders provides the visual link between the 3 floors. The staircase is surrounding Jaume Plensa’s stainless steel sculpture ‘Istanbul Bluies’ brought fresh from the Paris Contemporary Art Show.
From reception swimmers can be viewed above through the polycarbonate pool which is surrounded by a digital cube ceiling.
The pool itself is an infinity design so water from the pool is allowed to flow over the sides to be recycled and pumped back into the pool. The polycarbonate sides and bottom sit in a concrete frame which has a Sika epoxy render applied to it. A silicone seal has been applied to the joints in order further increase waterproofing.
Situated on the roof with the words Istanbul – Byzantium(The old name for Istanbul) etched into the side the pool. The pool area is surrounded by a number of priceless works of art and a seated area overlooking Istanbul.
