The design of the penthouse VNG 903 - Globetrotter is a fusion of (post)industrial architecture with the spirit of early 20th century modernism. The interior design is imbued with the spirit of an imaginary hero. A visionary. A time traveller. A globetrotter who follows the spiral of modernity with precise focus. But he does not live only in the past; he has the imagination and the means to co-create the shape of the future. The word "co-create" is the key to understanding the distribution of spatial functions. The large open space is the cornerstone of the definition of a loft. Movable walls and curtains allow for a flexible division of living zones without sacrificing the open airy and liberating dimension of the space. Modern futurism and functionalism are united by a fascination with clean lines energized by moving aerodynamic shapes and rounded corners. Even the palette of elemental materials is subordinated to classic modernism: metal, concrete, wood, stone and glass. SKULL studio
