Penthouse Syndrome, Interiors Above the City
Author: gestalten

Penthouse Syndrome is an impressive coffee table book about living above the city, where height not only changes the view but also the way we experience space. This photo book explores the unique appeal of high-rise living and shows how architecture, interior design, and emotion come together at great heights.

Featuring more than fifty exclusive residences, Penthouse Syndrome demonstrates how living in penthouses and high-rise apartments creates its own unique dynamic. Rooms take on a different scale, daylight and perspective play a larger role, and daily life follows a different rhythm. The selected interiors range from sculptural design statements to serene, minimalist havens above the city bustle.

With powerful photography and in-depth texts, this luxurious interior book shows how designers find balance between construction and feeling in spaces detached from the ground. Penthouse Syndrome is an inspiring resource for lovers of interior design, architecture, urban living, and contemporary luxury, and a stylish statement on any coffee table.
