Floor Plans for my 'Eco Chic' Penthouse

Hi there

Today I've been developing floor plans for my fantasy penthouse apartment. My initial thoughts were for the apartment to be inspired from the shape of a fresh green leave

- it has 3 ensuite bedrooms, a large open plan family/dining/kitchen, a formal southwest facing lounge and a wrap around deck for expanding the living space to encompass a spa area, vegetable plots, outside barbeque kitchen, chickens, dining area and sun lounge area.


The central hall way, is like the spine of a leave and would have a glazed roof, turning the hallway into a green house to grow flowers including my favourite flowers Orchids.  The private bedroom areas face north keeping them cool and dark. the public areas face south benefiting from both heat and light from the sun.  The kitchen is in the east taking advantage of the morning sun for breakfast, and the formal/socialising lounge is in the south west to take advantage of spectactular sunsets.

Using photoshop, I tried to transform the 2D floor plan into a 3D visual - giving an idea of the space of the apartment.
