in Shoreditch

The Island Home Penthouse features a Luxury Stainless Steel Kitchen island, Switchable-Glass privacy Screens, reflective surfaces to enhance Space, and a new Bedroom window, creating a modern Living experience.

The Island Home is a remarkable penthouse featuring a high-end stainless steel kitchen ‘island’ that serves as a visual and functional connector between two levels through a glazed floor, enhancing the luxury spatial experience within the apartment.

The conventional separation between the bedroom and the kitchen/living area is innovatively addressed with a glass screen incorporated into the central island. A state-of-the-art feature allows the glass to turn translucent at the push of a button, offering bespoke privacy and enhancing the design-focused functionality of the space.

Internally, the apartment’s perimeter walls are lined with white lacquered panels. Alongside the stainless steel elements, these reflective surfaces amplify the light and visually expand the space. High-quality Douglas fir floorboards add warmth and a touch of colour, making the apartment more welcoming while maintaining its modern, minimalist aesthetic.

Additionally, a new, tall window was installed in the bedroom to enhance views of Hoxton Square while boosting the quality of natural light entering the room. This seamless blend of design elements makes Island Home a true epitome of luxury urban living.

Island Home redefines conventional space boundaries with an innovative electro-chromatic glass screen integrated into the central island, seamlessly connecting the bedroom and kitchen/living area. With a simple switch, this cutting-edge smart glass turns translucent, offering bespoke privacy when needed. The design embraces flexibility, enabling adjustable views for privacy. When transparent, the screen allows abundant natural light to fill the living space, and the extended view effectively doubles the perceived size of this luxury urban home.

Island Home utilises crisp, reflective materials to create an expansive atmosphere within the penthouse. An elegant, centrally located, double-height ‘island’ incorporates multiple functions such as stairs, a wine rack, a bathroom, and a kitchen. This innovative ‘island’ employs a glazed floor to visually connect the two levels of the home, contributing to an enhanced sense of space. The use of luxury stainless steel elements in the ‘island’ further amplifies light and creates a bespoke, design-led visual impression of a larger apartment.
