EYE ON LONDON:
DESIGNER APARTMENT FRAMES ICONIC VIEWS AND CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH BANK
Situated on the sixth floor of SEVEN, the final building of Southbank Place, a £1 billion joint venture development delivered by Qatari Diar and CWG, is a significant two-bedroom lateral apartment with unrivalled views across the South Bank taking in the Houses of Parliament, London Eye, River Thames and across to
St. Paul’s Cathedral.
On the market for £4.6 million, the c.1,800 sq. ft. home has been dressed by luxury interior design studio Natalia Miyar Atelier.
A collection of bespoke furniture, artworks and fabrics produced by British artisans have been specially selected to provide a nod to the location’s connection to the Festival of Britain. The national exhibition celebrating Britain’s contributions to science, industry and the arts was held in 1951 on the site Southbank Place now occupies.
Tailored and vibrant, a colour palette of sophisticated and vibrant tones characterise the apartment. Using the iconic designs of Lucienne Day, who exhibited at The Festival of Britain, Natalia Miyar Atelier have adapted these textile designs into statement rugs that are placed throughout the home. Artwork by Ben Nicholson, a notable artist who exhibited at the Festival, have been selected to inform and complement the colour palettes across the living spaces.
Natalia’s design for the apartment has been curated to reflect the very best of London, allowing future residents to feel truly immersed in the heart of the city. The building’s architecture and design have also inspired the interiors, with clean lines and the texture of the building influencing some of the finishing touches and colourways, providing an internal extension of the building that matches the incredible energy of the South Bank.
Natalia Miyar, Founder at Natalia Miyar Atelier commented: “SEVEN’s design is a contemporary take on the historic and cherished buildings of the South Bank, and we wanted the interiors of this exceptional apartment to reflect that. We wanted to create something that feels crafted to the individual, a place that truly feels like home, whilst retaining a luxurious and premium aesthetic.
“People love comfort, and through using a combination of hand-picked fabrics, textures and vintage pieces, there is an immediate sense of home that also feels aspirational and speaks to the character of the South Bank, its location and heritage.”
The layout of each room is anchored around the views, with key items of furniture, such as the curved sofa in the living area, specifically chosen to comfortably and discretely angle towards the panoramic aspects.
The interior architecture was designed by award-winning interiors studio Albion Nord, and presents dual aspects from the majority of the apartments. The forward-facing views are enhanced by full height windows and large balconies framing the finest protected panoramic views in London.
