Penthouse Perfection: Schlegel's W-Dallas Penthouse

This W-Dallas Victory Park penthouse is the home to Dallas locals: Kari and Kirby Schlegel. The penthouse is actually one large 12,200 square foot space. Architect Lionel Morrison had the idea to split the space into two seperate apartments (His and Hers) with a central "grand salon." Designer Jan Showers was called on board to explore the masculine and feminine sides of designing these two seperate apartments. She did a great job representing the brother and sister's personal styles.



HERS: Kari's feminine side is defined by lots of color, ladylike patterns, accents of Murano glass, and a baby grand piano. Her apartment also incorporates more outdoor space and a fantastic view of downtown.












HIS: What makes Kirby's side masculine- media room for watching sports and movies, guest room and adjoining lounge, floor-to-ceiling blackout drapery, office to display his many sports collections, and workout room.
