PALACE 22 highlights the merits of living in a penthouse or loft space; the tangible rewards of enjoying skyline views of the city below, or a picturesque vista of seas and/or mountains. Nothing is more edifying than living in a penthouse or loft-style apartment, especially in key cities such as London, and New York. Even Phuket, Bangkok, Melbourne, Penang and Kuala Lumpur brim with penthouse gems that deliver their expansive, enviable vistas to engage discerning homeowners.
