Any future owners of the penthouse apartment will have a clear view of the drop below them.

HomeDSGN reports that architects Hernandez Silva Arquitectos (HSA) developed the apartment on the top of an ageing colonial-style building.

The firm explained that the space was originally intended for a second elevator, which was never installed.

HSA's press release describes the penthouse as using "the concepts of transparency and the simplicity of materials."
