This penthouse suite that is part of a new residential building in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada was designed by the people from Smith Designs. 3300 sq ft of floor space define the penthouse and a deck that has the same size was added to this project, named the 910 project.

The penthouse has been purchased recently,but before that it functioned as a display suite for the condo development. As we step inside the penthouse we notice that the “kitchen theatre” has a generous view of the Victoria Harbour and the Olympic Mountains.

The Family Room zone offers bar-height seating to increase the idea of modernism. In the same area a low credenza reveals the main TV in the house. Most areas of the house enjoy a home automation system. The colour palette betrays a neutral tone which goes perfect with the pieces of furniture,the granite flooring, the counter tops made of honed granite contributing to the modern aspect of the penthouse.

The appliances are all made of stainless steel and backsplash. The Powder Room has a large column with hand-burnished plaster finishes ,custom made. Speaking of stainless steel,if you step into the living room you will notice a gas fireplace that is personalized and finished in mirror-polished stainless steel.

Fravashi Ironworks and Majestic Mechanical helped in designing and installing the fireplace.The engineer accepted the challenge of this custom made gas fireplace and he allowed the gas supply to be made through the ceiling. The space seems large because the designers inserted sliding glass partitions that isolate the bathroom from the sleeping area,creating the idea of a continuous glass wall when closed.

This is the area of the north-east bedroom that enjoys the morning sunrise.On the other side,the south-west bedroom has a view of the mountains and of the sunset,too. Every bedroom has its own full-walk in closets and the ensuite baths have soaker tubs,dual sinks and a raised dais was used here.
