The definitive guide to Penthouse style from the world’s leading interior designers. An inspirational journey told through interviews and 250 stunning images. The penthouse is the ultimate expression of contemporary urban living. As much a state of mind as a physical space, the word ‘penthouse’ evokes excitement, drama, exclusivity and escape.
