Penthouse — Sukhumvit, Bangkok · 2022

Madison Penthouse

Forty floors up, the horizon stops being a view and becomes a material. Every room is squared to the same grey line of city — and in the master bathroom, the stone is cut to answer it.

Chapter 00 / 05

Forty floors of approach

Altitude

Madison Penthouse seen from the dining end — sculptural ribbon chandelier, backlit shelving and floor-to-ceiling glazing wrapping the Bangkok skyline.

Where the plan gives up its walls

The Long Room

Living room at Madison Penthouse — deep sectional on a black rug, dark stone media wall, cove-lit stepped ceiling and panoramic city glazing.

The corner is left empty on purpose. After that, the city does the decorating.

Backlit display shelving at Madison Penthouse — dark ceramic vessels, a brass box, framed photograph and candles on warm-lit ledges.
Sofa corner at Madison Penthouse — cream sectional with charcoal cushions and a black glass table lamp on a brass base.

Two registers of light. The vitrine is lit from within and holds the objects; the room is lit from its edges and holds the people.

Baan Krungthep Kritha

A house of two temperatures. Cool where it holds — board-formed concrete, blackened steel, sheet glass. Warm where it rests — travertine, oak, brass, wool. The curved concrete wall in the hall is where the two meet, and the house makes no attempt to hide the seam.
