Exceptional Duplex Penthouse With Iconic Presence In A Prestigious Prime Address

Within Palais Varnhagen, David Chipperfield’s iconic interpretation of the modern Berlin city palace, this exceptional duplex penthouse presents itself as a private residence of truly international calibre. Offering approximately 387 sqm of living space across two levels, it showcases an architectural quality that remains exceptionally rare, even within Berlin’s most exclusive residential market. The residence combines impressive proportions with the privacy and tranquillity of a true penthouse home.

The arrival experience immediately sets the tone. Behind the elegant and understated façade, residents are welcomed by an almost four metre high lobby featuring a dedicated concierge, carefully curated art and an atmosphere of effortless discretion. A private lift provides direct access to the residence, ensuring complete privacy from the moment of arrival.

The lower level has been designed as an elegant setting for entertaining. It is a place for private receptions, intimate dinners and sophisticated city living. Expansive floor to ceiling windows, exceptional ceiling heights and flowing sightlines create a light filled interior with the atmosphere of a private gallery. At the heart of the home is the impressive open plan living area with direct access to the terrace. Nearly six metre high glass façades flood the space with natural light while creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoor living areas. Integrated air conditioning ensures outstanding comfort throughout the warmer months.

The dining area blends effortlessly into the architecture and is complemented by a bespoke Elmar kitchen. Italian craftsmanship, carefully selected materials and premium appliances by Miele, together with a BORA cooktop, wine refrigerator and oversized integrated refrigerator, combine refined aesthetics with uncompromising functionality.

The upper level is dedicated entirely to private living. Four bedrooms, each fitted with bespoke built in wardrobes, provide generous accommodation. The principal suite features a luxurious ensuite bathroom, while an open gallery and a second full bathroom complete this private floor.

The bathrooms continue the residence’s elegant architectural language through the use of large format travertine, refined Duravit fittings and exclusive TOTO sanitaryware, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury with timeless international appeal.

One of the residence’s defining features is its exceptional outdoor space. In addition to the approximately 60 sqm main terrace on the lower level, the penthouse offers a private rooftop terrace of approximately 54 sqm with breathtaking 360 degree panoramic views across Berlin’s skyline, providing an extraordinary setting for both entertaining and quiet moments above the city.
