Penthouse One at One Water Street: A Masterpiece of Elegance and Craftsmanship by MATERIA Interior Design
Penthouse One at One Water Street redefines modern luxury, featuring 4,500 sq. ft. of exquisitely crafted living space. This exclusive residence, designed by the renowned MATERIA Interior Design, occupies the entire top floor of Tower East, providing expansive views of the city, mountains, and Okanagan Lake. It is a testament to contemporary design, where bold materials meet minimalist sophistication.
A Refined Palette of Materials and Textures
The penthouse is a showcase of thoughtfully selected materials, from the smooth, dark matte-finished cabinetry in the kitchen to the elegant marble veining seen in the backsplash and bathroom walls. The island, with its dark finish and sleek design, commands attention and is complemented by modern pendant lighting that adds to the understated elegance of the space.
The use of matte black fixtures throughout the kitchen and bathrooms contrasts beautifully with the bright, open spaces, as seen in the freestanding tub with a minimalist black faucet set against the neutral walls. This continuity in materials ensures that each space flows harmoniously into the next, creating a cohesive design narrative.
A Dialogue Between Light and Texture
Natural light is harnessed masterfully within the penthouse, filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows and accentuating the blend of textures found throughout. The light oak floors, paired with soft, neutral tones on the walls, create an inviting backdrop, while the bolder, darker accents in the cabinetry and fixtures offer depth and drama.
In the living areas, custom-built cabinetry in warm wood tones adds both functionality and elegance, with subtle integrated lighting providing a soft glow that emphasizes the room's clean lines. The design emphasizes the importance of both artificial and natural light, allowing the expansive windows to act as a canvas for the surrounding views while the modern fixtures create a mood of sophistication after the sun sets.
Attention to Detail and Craftsmanship
No detail has been overlooked in Penthouse One. The bathrooms feature luxurious stone finishes, with intricate detailing that reflects MATERIA's commitment to craftsmanship. The stonework in the showers, for instance, combines both texture and elegance, enhanced by recessed lighting that highlights the natural beauty of the material. The custom vanities, finished in dark, rich wood, are further evidence of the meticulous attention to quality seen throughout the home.
Each element, from the elegant door handles in a matte black finish to the striking pendant lights in the dining and living areas, has been carefully chosen to complement the modern yet timeless aesthetic of the penthouse.
An Unmatched Indoor-Outdoor Experience
The large outdoor terraces, totaling over 2,800 sq. ft., provide a seamless transition between the interior and the breathtaking surroundings. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee with views of the lake or entertaining guests by the outdoor kitchen, these terraces are an extension of the luxurious indoor spaces.
Inside, the expansive windows continue to play a pivotal role in the design, flooding the spaces with light and offering uninterrupted views of Okanagan Lake, as captured in the serene living area where a resident is shown gazing out at the tranquil waters.
A Contemporary Sanctuary
The master bathroom offers a spa-like retreat, with a freestanding tub positioned to capture the surrounding views while maintaining privacy. The matte black fixtures paired with soft, neutral tones create a balance between luxury and simplicity, allowing the natural materials to take center stage.
Every room in Penthouse One speaks to a balance between bold design choices and a serene, livable atmosphere. This is modern luxury at its finest, where the use of natural light, thoughtful design, and quality materials create an exceptional living experience.
