Penthouse Syndrome: Interiors Above the City - Gestalten

The pull of life above the city, where height reshapes how we see, feel, and inhabit the home. High-rise living has a unique allure: the view, the distance, the sense of being held above it all. Penthouse Syndrome looks at how altitude reshapes both architecture and the feeling of home. At height, rooms behave differently, scale recalibrates, and daily rhythms change. The residences featured here show how designers balance structure and emotion in spaces detached from the ground. Together they reveal something essential about intimacy, perspective, and how we long to live today.
