Architecture
Penthouses are a synonym of luxury.
Their story began in the 20s of the last century in New York. Originally, primitive structures were built on the roof of tall buildings to fit the mechanisms that serve the rest of the building: lifts, heating and cooling systems.
America in the 1920s flourished, and wealthy New Yorkers have enough to maintain a high standard of living. Many of them have no patience to spend some of their wealth on a non-traditional and very luxurious home. They are looking for apartments to reflect their wealth. In a city that never sleeps, it means seeing from above.
Almost a century later, the world is a different place, and the penthouses are no longer just an apartment located on the roof of a tall building - they are synonymous with social status. Such spaces are generously located on the top floor of a block of flats or on the top floor of a hotel. This, that does not change over the years is the fact that they still attract wealthy people with extremely high demands.
The whole idea of such space sounds luxurious. The thought of living high above the most beautiful streets in the city or enjoying panoramic views is a goal for very ambitious people. Generally, they have achieved success in different spheres and want to rely on maximum comfort. That is why the penthouse is not just a place but a way of life.
The distinctive features that guarantee exclusivity include sun terraces, a swimming pool or jacuzzi, access to a variety of services and high-end restaurants.
