Interior Style Hunter: Best of British Interior Design

In the show apartment on the 27th floor, Interior Designer Portia Fox has used organic arcs and curves to soften the angular lines and linear architecture, showcasing the space and natural light to make the most of the open plan design.

Bold use of vibrant blues, pinks, greens, oranges and golds are a nod to the former dye works in the area, while grain blackened timber and blackened bronze finishes are reminiscent of the coal and timber yards that used to dominate this part of London.

Considering that SouthBank was the location for the Festival of Britain in 1951 to celebrate the best of British innovation, Portia has cleverly commissioned the majority of the furniture to be made locally by skilled British artisans, with spectacular one of a kind designs. Every piece has been thoughtfully created to invoke a feeling of calm and tranquility, subtly drawing the eye to the incredible views and balancing out the minimalist architecture of the apartment.

This thoughtfulness of design flows into the bedrooms too. The main bedroom, clad in natural materials like cotton and wool boucle, plays with texture and tone while maintaining the feeling of calm and serenity as you look out over the vistas of London.

Residents also have access to the ultra-lavish Health Club & Spa, designed by Goddard Littlefair. The spa includes all the luxury amenities one would expect in an extravagant five-star hotel, including saunas, steam rooms and a vitality pool, but in a far more private and refined environment. The health and fitness facility offers residents the opportunity to connect in a calm and elegant environment, with state-of-the-art equipment in the gym and studio space for classes. There is also a private residents lounge available for socialising and connecting with other residents.
