| Luxurious Russian Penthouse Apartment Balancing Light and Dark Accents Posted: 28 Jan 2011 10:58 AM PST Russian interior design studio Geometrix transformed the interiors of this next luxury penthouse into a surprising modern space meant to be enjoyed to its full potential. Featuring a combination of dark and light colour schemes, the interiors of this scrumptious penthouse call for a certain order in furniture arrangement. The interior designers created an extremely contemporary inside living space that extends on to the terrace for a full exploration of the panoramic views of Moscow. Situated high above the city, in the Triumph Palace, a 57-story apartment building in Moscow, the penthouse is compartmented into spaces that have many accents in common. Created as a unified space, the residence balances light and dark in a carefully planned manner. Large windows allow gorgeous, uninterrupted views of the Russian capital and the generous terrace extends the living space over the city.

We found these two startling photos of Lujiazui District in Shanghai, one taken in 1990 and the other in 2010, as showcased by Business Insider. As you can see, the transformation is almost hard to believe. Lujiazui is currently a famous financial district in Shanghai. But until the 1980s, it was a relatively low-built area, consisting of residential houses, warehouses, and a few factories. Fast forward 20 years later and you have a 31.78 km² Lujiazui area accommodating more than 30 buildings over 25 stories high and over 504 financial corporations. Moreover, Lijianzui is an important tourist attraction with 5 five-star hotels for travelers everywhere. An impressive rise of one of China’s commercial cores which partially contributes to this country’s status as the world’s second largest economic power. Impressed?
