Spacious City Getaways

Thomas Griem's Penthouse Apartment Brings a Country Feel into the City

Thomas Griem is the director of England's TG Studio and his latest work on this beautifully spacious penthouse apartment in London sees Griem wonderfully transporting the open air vibe of the country into the heart of the city.

Although there are some getaways in every city, large populations and crowded housing make the advent of actually having open space in your abode a rare luxury. But designers like Thomas Griem who turned this once regular three bedroom penthouse into a wonderous open space home is showing that a lot can be done with a little.

Using stylish and sturdy oak beams, this penthouse looks almost as if Griem uprooted the innards of a country farmhouse and brought them to London. With lots of oak decorations and fixtures to match, Thomas Griem's penthouse is truly a rustic city getaway.
