Covent Garden Apartment sits atop a nineteenth-century Grade II Listed merchant’s house in London, United Kingdom, reimagined by Carmody Groarke as a duplex penthouse. The home pairs an aluminum rooftop pavilion with renovated interiors shaped for family life. Inside, walnut and ash temper the industrial gleam while new skylights pull light deep into the plan. It’s a composed, material-led project with a crisp exterior and a warm, crafted core.
Fidalga Penthouse sits in São Paulo, Brazil, where Gurgel D’Alfonso Arquitetura turns a duplex apartment into a lively home for a young family tied to food and hosting. The project rewrites the plan around a working kitchen fit for filming and everyday meals, then carries a tactile mix of materials through living areas and up to quieter rooms under a gabled roof. It feels purposeful and warm.
The Shining Home is a duplex penthouse renovation project located in the My Khanh residential complex, Phu My Hung, Ho Chi Minh City.
