Penthouse Botersloot
Rotterdam , The Netherlands

From the top floors of the Statendam Building, Rotterdam, Penthouse Botersloot offers impressive views across the city’s downtown and river. This penthouse design has been undertaken by interior designer Lennart Otte, who has taken not only the building’s porthole motif but also the broader seafaring history of the city as her guide. Otte felt the distinctive windows reminded her of cruise ships and cabins, and so a luxurious maritime theme was created. The split-level apartment uses a fresh white base to highlight the views and also architectural features, like the black spiral staircase at its heart.

The clean-lined, space-efficient style of a yacht – a space where everything has its place and flow is essential – is visible in the barely-there kitchen and super-slick bathrooms where state-of-the-art GROHE Sensia Arena shower toilets fit perfectly into the seamless scheme. Subtle luxury is key, with GROHE Water Systems serving the kitchen and GROHE Cool Sunrise gold faucets and accessories in the bathroom.
