From the top

floors of the Statendam Building, Rotter-

dam, 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 fres

h

white base to highlight the views and also architectura

l

features, like the black spiral staircase at its heart

.

The clean-lined, space-efficient style of a yacht – a spac

e

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.
