Glass Rooftop Penthouse, London, United Kingdom

• Each section of the penthouse was furnished by unique materials. For the entrance gallery: marble floors and parchment panels framed in mahogany. For the library: Brazilian rosewood. For the dining room: Venetian stucco. For the master bedroom: reeded plasted. For the kitchen: Jaguar-green lacquer, bamboo and textured glass. For the interiors of the fireplaces: long, narrow 19th-century bricks imported from France.
• This penthouse has such a sophisticated technology system. Anemometer was installed on the roof to measure wind speed so the terraces’ canvas awning can be retracted and don’t get ripped off the penthouse’ exalted facade. Moisture sensors were used detect a leak and activate the system to send an e-mail to the building managers. Temperature sensors, strapped to pipes, cause an e-mail to be sent when the temperature deviates by as little as a single degree from what the client has set it at.
The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui plays a key in some penthouse designs, and is believed to improve the flow of interior and exterior spaces of buildings and landscapes.
