- A walk-in wine cellar with a sealed glass-paneled door, built-in cooling unit, and a redwood racking system to accommodate nearly 800 bottles; and,
- Two guest bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom.

“When I designed the West Penthouse, I had a vision of classic elegance,” said Brian Gluckstein of Gluckstein Design Planning. “In the foyer, I chose handsome grey marble floors and added a bold circular pattern which gives the space a bit of drama. There are sleek custom Downsview cabinets in the kitchen, in a dark stain, paired with comfortable seating in muted neutrals for timeless appeal.”

“The master bedroom has light streaming in through the corner windows, so I went with light wood floors and white fabrics. This combination gives the room a light, airy feel even on the darkest winter days,” he added.

The West Residence will be a 55-storey building comprised of the 253-room Four Seasons Hotel on the first 20 floors, followed by 101 Private Residences above.
