THE PENTHOUSE

The Penthouse at No. 1 Gunwharf Quays is the highest and most luxurious home on Britain’s South Coast. 4,600 sq ft of exquisitely designed, air conditioned space, spanning the top two floors of this most iconic of residential buildings. The Penthouse sets new standards of excellence in architecture and interior design.

The dramatic double height glazed atrium affords a spectacular panorama of Portsmouth Harbour, the Solent and the Isle of Wight beyond and features a sweeping Grecian marble clad staircase, linking the living space on the lower level and the bedrooms on the upper level. The 27th floor reception hall with coffered mirrored ceiling is reached via a high speed lift with security key access, together with a separate goods lift from the ground floor reception area with the benefit of a 12 hour concierge.

The Centre of everyday life – an enviable combination of spaces from the morning terrace to comfortable seating and relaxed dining with Grecian marble flooring throughout.

The custom designed Boffi kitchen in grey oak and high gloss finishes with sleek Corian work surfaces, features a full range of Gaggenau appliances including an integrated wine cooler and a separate concealed laundry room.

100 metres above the Solent and the crowning achievement of the multi award winning Gunwharf Quays, 4 private terraces and floor to ceiling windows maximise the spectacular panoramic views and endless vistas of the waterscape and surrounding countryside.

The formal dining room seats eight in comfort and is separated by glass sliding walls from the kitchen and the cinema room, featuring a 65" plasma television and the latest in audio visual technology linked to remotely controlled and electrically operated curtains.

The impressively proportioned oak floored evening space provides a formal reception room with intimate terrace adjacent and a chic mirrored wet cocktail bar for pre-dinner drinks complete with wine cooler.

Quiet relaxation, entertaining and spectacular sunsets from the evening terrace.

The master bedroom including its private terrace and mirrored dressing room emanates luxury and atmosphere with an ever changing quality of light.

The ensuite bathroom by Italian manufacturer Agape sets new standards approached through a mirrored door and featuring an oval free standing bath, twin vanity basins, shower stall, separate WC and integrated TV. This luxurious space with marble floor, underfloor heating and sleek polished plaster walls has the ambiance of a sophisticated spa with impeccable design and attention to detail.

The private study approached from the master bedroom has views across the gallery and atrium to the Solent beyond.

The principal guest bedroom features its own private terrace and sleek Agape ensuite wet room with under heated marble flooring.

The third bedroom has been designed as a flexible space – as a guest room or home gymnasium with Agape en suite wet room adjacent. The data, audio visual and telecom network fitted throughout The Penthouse makes every option possible.

The atrium and mezzanine – dynamic and peaceful with a sense of drama from sunrise to sunset.
