An en-suite bedroom and guest bathroom are just down the hall. First floor: a very large living room area and bar, three en-suite bedrooms (one of which is the master bedroom with its sumptuous walk in closet and skylight for natural light). Like the rest of the home the views are uninterrupted with floor to ceiling glass windows and aluminium frames held in with solid reinforced concrete walls. Many skylights allow volumes of light onto this floors living room, bedroom, bathrooms and open spaces to the ground floor below. In keeping with the scale of the home each bathroom is spacious with fantastically large frameless glass showers, separate bath tubs, porcelain tiles, heated floors and Hansgrohe taps (throughout the home).
