This apartment is located on the top-most floor of a building developed in the mid 1960′s.  It is located near Venice, in San Dona di Piave.  The penthouse studio flat faces a beautiful view of the Piave river in the distance behind the tree-tops.  It also has a large terrace with a gorgeous south-easternly view.






The dwelling offers fully upgraded technological programs and are in term with the most up to date power effecienecy standards.  Tconcrete5his offers both all-season comfort in a wide range of temperatures.  It was designed from the get-go to be an open space with the outdoor terrace in mind.  In summer or springtime, the terrace turns into an extension of the viewing room, allowing even more breathtaking views of the Piave river.







We can see the interior environment utilizes the natural concrete structure quite well and blends it in with the overall theme of the decor.  The colors match well with what one would normally assume to be ugly concrete pillars.  The hardwood floors even accentuate the look to make it appear more sharp.  Overall, everything blends together to make an absolutely beautiful indoor penthouse.

Paradise Beneath the Palm Trees

This exotic, yet contemporary home is located on an island in an exclusive locale near the Philippines. This home was specifically developed by Mrs. Faria who worked in collaboration with others. The home breathes openness and a sense of freedom and heightens the sense of pure serenity.

Originally envisioned as a resort where couples could spend their honey-moons for a hefty fee, the owner of the island property loved it so much that he made it his own home to live in permanently. It features an amazing pool and scenery. Living beneath the palm trees is a luxury that many of us can only dream of.



The only way for the owner of this home to go to and from his residence is by boat or via helicopter and there is a personal helipad on the residence, hidden just behind the pool area and disguised amongst the palm trees and fauna. One would never even assume that this was a helicopter landing area unless you were told.

As we examine the indoor design, you can see how the decor matches the general color scheme and even the coloring of the wooden tables matches the general “feel” of the jungle-type environment that the home’s outdoor is similar to.

One thing is for sure: if you happen to be a millionaire, living in a place like this must be breathtaking.

San Francisco-primarily based studio De Meza Architecture completed the Pacific Heights Penthouse venture in collaboration with interior designer Jenn Kesteloot.




The architects completely remodeled the interior decor of this huge 2,500 square foot top floor (penthouse) apartment unit found in a 1925 built development in Pacific Heights, which is an affluent community in San Francisco, California.

Pacific Heights Penthouse by De Meza Architecture as quoted:

“A total interior remodel of a prime floor unit in a stately Pacific Heights building originally constructed back in 1925.

The remodel integrated the building of a new elevated roof deck with a customized spiral staircase and “penthouse” connecting the unit to the outdoor room.

The unit has 2 bedrooms, a den, 2 baths, a powder room, an updated residing and dining spot and a new open kitchen.

The style highlights the dramatic views to the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge to the north, the views west to the Pacific Ocean and the City to the south.

Finishes include custom stained wood paneling and doors during, engineered mahogany flooring with matching mahogany spiral stair treads.

The roof deck is completed with a lava stone and ipe deck and paneling, with frameless glass guardrails, a sizzling gasoline fire pit, irrigated plant containers, and  even an artificial turf puppy park.  Oh, and don’t forget the solar heated cedar hot tub for lots of fun in the sun!”
