Penthouse apartments and hotels sit perched on the top of high-rise buildings in every city. But living on the top floor isn't reserved for millionaires. The homes in this post have exposed sloped ceilings and skylights, giving their rooms a hugely open and luxurious feel, making it seems as though there is even more space on the floor below.
1 | Architect: Santiago MañeroThe first home takes advantage of a spacious and modern open floor plan. Slanted ceilings on both sides of the home have deep, recessed skylights that allow plenty of sun to stream in throughout the day, opening up the space even further against white walls. Because of the interesting shape of the room, simple furnishings do enough to create a creative atmosphere with themes of white and grey.

Again, white is chosen for the ceiling, including a light and purposefully imperfect whitewash around the frame of the skylights. The slanted ceiling here also allows the open room to be easily divided with a sofa nestling underneath the skylights and shelving filling the space along one wall. The lovely modern kitchen and dining area have a standard, flat ceiling.

14 | Architect: Roma VerbishchukThe third home is extremely warm and a bit more rustic in its style, which has become popular in Eastern Europe, particularly western Ukraine. The slanted ceiling here, in the 112 square meter (1205 square feet) is home to exposed, natural wood beams. Alongside a central fireplace and seating area, these ceiling beams call to mind a modern cabin. In the bathroom, stone flooring and skylights take the rustic towards ultra modern and certainly luxurious.

A lofted bed area lies up a set of minimalist stairs while the main living area benefits from the massive overhead space. Modern, minimal furniture and lots of grey and white make this home just a bit edgy but ultimately comfortable.
