An apartment in an iconic and historic building calls for beautiful and considered interiors. This particular apartment, on the third floor of an award-winning converted vocational school in Charleston, SC, has an interior design scheme that elevates it to another level of luxury. In fact, we're so wowed by the careful placement of antiques and paintings, and the bespoke wallcoverings and finishes, that we've added the penthouse to our list of the world's best homes.
Its owners turned to Moe Draz, owner and principal of Architrave Interior Design, to redesign the interiors for their top-floor corner penthouse. 'I always think that the architecture of the space should inform the design,' says the designer, 'so I try and start with the building envelope, paying attention to the scale of the rooms, the windows and the natural light in the space.'
