SoldThe Penthouse/16 The Righi, South Yarra
Full-Floor Penthouse with Basement Retreat
Designed by Wood Marsh, this penthouse operates at a scale rarely seen in apartment living. Spanning approximately 890sqm, the residence extends beyond a typical upper-level format, incorporating private rooftop terraces and a full-floor basement level — creating a multi-layered home rather than a single-plane penthouse. The primary living zones are defined by proportion and finish, with parquetry flooring, an open gas fireplace and an integrated bar forming a cohesive central space. Full-height glazing opens to expansive terraces, framing uninterrupted views across Melbourne’s skyline and reinforcing the connection between internal living and outdoor entertaining. Material selection is consistent and deliberate throughout. The kitchen combines natural stone with Wolf, Sub-Zero and Pitt appliances, supported by a butler’s kitchen and walk-in cool room. Bedrooms are resolved with silk and bamboo carpets, while ensuites feature full slab travertine alongside Vola and Agape fixtures. Below, the private basement level introduces a secondary lifestyle layer — gym, sauna, bar and a 1600-bottle wine cellar — paired with gallery-style parking for over nine vehicles. A fully integrated Crestron system ties the residence together, delivering control without disrupting the architectural intent.
