这座优雅而非凡的入口被一棵树插在一座住宅塔楼的第48层，可以看到全景，增强了室内与外部的关系，并为室内带来大量日光提供了机会。这是由于对顶层公寓的原有布局进行了大规模的建筑改造，一套由两套普通公寓组成的联合单元，以及目前中国市场上高层住宅大厦的典型情况，不允许对两层公寓有任何看法。

The elegant and exceptional entrance, punctuated by a tree incredibly planted at the 48th floor of a residential tower, allows a panorama view that enhances the relationship between the interior and exterior, and provides an opportunity to bring in a large quantity of daylight indoor. It is the result of a large-scale of architectural modification applied to the original layout of the penthouse, a join unit of two regular apartments and a typical situation in high-rise residential towers in current China market, does not allow any perception of two floor apartments.

阁楼的个性是由核心材料和工艺而不是装饰决定的。材料的质地和表面特征激发了客人的所有感官；东北橡木地板经天然油处理后，与用古老手工锤击工艺完成的白色奶油西班牙石材相结合，墙壁则采用奢华的威尼斯人“马莫里诺”(Marmorino)膏体，硬而光滑，像大理石一样光滑，但能像其他材料一样散发光线，传递柔和温暖的气氛。

The penthouse personality is defined by the core materials and workmanship rather than by the finishing decorations. The texture and surface characteristics of the materials stimulate all the senses of the guests; oak timber floors from north east China treated with natural oils are combined with white cream Spanish stones finished with ancient hand hammered techniques and the walls are finished with luxurious Venetian “marmorino” plasters which are hard and glossy as is marble but able to transmit soft and warm mood by distributing the light as no other material is able to.

Kokaistudio对照明的可能性进行了深入的研究，以最大限度地利用自然阳光，创造灵活的照明系统，根据社会或私人功能改变空间和气氛。

Kokaistudios have a deep study of the lighting possibilities that maximize the use of natural sunlight and create a flexible lighting system that transforms the space and the mood according the social or private functions.
