Penthouse – Istanbul

Perched atop the tallest of the seven hills above the Bosphorus, this penthouse apartment features a striking infinity pool that perfectly complements its panoramic views, stretching from the Bridge to the Mediterranean Sea. Aquascapes delivered a technically sophisticated pool solution that seamlessly integrates with the apartment’s architectural and artistic vision.

The pool incorporates polycarbonate sides and bottom within a concrete frame, finished with Sika epoxy render and silicone-sealed joints for enhanced waterproofing. Water flows over the edges in true infinity style, recycled and pumped back into the pool to ensure both performance and sustainability. Above the pool, swimmers are visible from the reception through the transparent floor, framed by a contemporary digital cube ceiling that enhances the immersive experience.

A white helical staircase, fabricated on site from steel sections by shipbuilders, spirals around Jaume Plensa’s stainless steel sculpture “Istanbul Bluies”, creating a dramatic visual link across the three floors. The rooftop pool area is further enhanced with priceless works of art, bespoke seating, and etched details such as “Istanbul – Byzantium,” offering residents an unparalleled leisure experience where architectural innovation, engineering precision, and artistic curation converge.
