The Australian residence spans two levels with a rooftop pool, whiskey and tea rooms, and bespoke furnishings throughout

In this duplex penthouse atop Australia’s One Sydney Harbour, it’s hard to know whether to focus on the design, the art, or the views.

Designed for a multi-generational family with homes around the world, the Sky Villa is a collaboration between Renzo Piano Building Workshop and State of Craft, marking their third long-term partnership after working on private residences at the Shard and Shard Place in London. The Sydney penthouse, measuring in at just under 9,700 square feet, takes a restrained approach while still feeling sumptuous, thanks to interiors that pair custom pieces with luxe materials.

The moody private lobby is a bit of a head-fake, as the elevator from here leads up to a home defined by light-filled spaces and neutral tones. With the residence arranged along a V-shaped layout, the entertaining spaces are found in the northern wing. These include a double-height great room featuring a bespoke light fixture that evokes a marine creature and a formal dining room anchored by a custom table measuring almost 20 feet long and topped with seafoam-green glass.

Separated by a stone wall, the family dining area is a more casual space. It sits just off the copper-lined kitchen, which can be hidden behind sliding oak doors etched with a bronze inlay map of Sydney Harbour. Additional spaces in this area of the home include a whiskey room and a tea room.

Upstairs, the primary suite encompasses a lounge, bedroom, bathroom, wardrobe, and winter garden, all connected by a Roman travertine floor. The serene hideaway is decked out in soft furnishings like wool rugs and bouclé sofas. On this level, there’s also a gym and spa which lead to the rooftop terrace. Here, an outdoor kitchen is paired with a granite-lined infinity pool and hot tub, all covered by a glass curtain wall that allows the roof to be enjoyed year-round.
