One Park Drive
Interior Design - Residential
Two show Apartments for One Park Drive, by Canary Wharf Group, which is one of London’s most exciting and eagerly-awaited luxury residential developments. It will take the form of a striking and soon-to-be iconic 58-storey circular building, designed by Tate Modern architects Herzog & de Meuron. One Park Drive is the first UK residential project by the celebrated practice and is due for completion in 2020.
Sir George Iacobescu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Canary Wharf Group said of the development that “One Park Drive will become a fixture on the London skyline and this launch represents a rare and very limited opportunity for people to buy a home in London. This more than just a building, it is a piece of art.”
Meticulous attention has been paid to the design of this 58-storey building, ranging from cleverly concise studios to spacious four-bedroom penthouses. Each apartment will offer generous views over the surrounding docklands and across London, while the layout of the building has been planned with privacy in mind, ensuring that no unit is overlooked.
The 483 apartments in the scheme will be comprised of three typologies – Bay, Cluster and Loft. The design concepts for the first two apartment types – Bay and Cluster sections have been created by Goddard Littlefair and are currently being showcased to potential buyers in a marketing suite, which contains the apartments at full scale, located within Canary Wharf Group’s HQ at One Canada Tower.
The Gleneagles Hotel
Interior Design - Hospitality
When Ennismore took over Scottish icon The Gleneagles Hotel, the brief was, as Ennismore CEO Sharan Pasricha told Sleeper magazine, to create ‘elegant and contemporary interiors that would enhance the guest experience while respecting Gleneagles’ heritage and Scottish identity……. adding that the brief to designers was very much about evolution, rather than revolution.’
Goddard Littlefair created around 30 suites and guestrooms as part of the new refurbishment, plus interlinking corridors and lift lobbies, as part of the first phase of the redevelopment of this iconic country estate, set beneath the beautiful Ochil Hills and which has been a luxury destination for nearly a century.
Five bedroom concepts were created for the scheme and Goddard Littlefair Director & Co-founder Jo Littlefair commented: ‘We wanted the rooms to reflect that sense of emotional uplift via a warm, welcoming and reviving feel, with true five-star luxury communicated via highly individual room treatments, with different room design concepts and one-off touches in every single room, as well as via layering, texture and plenty of visual interest and intrigue, so that guests feel they have a continual sense of discovery during their stay and spot something different each time they visit.’
The lift lobbies and corridors had to marry together all the different room concepts, tying in with the idea of an evolutionary design with a strong sense of place, of discovery and of enjoyment for guests. As Sharan Pasricha explained to Hospitality Design magazine in the USA – ‘The brand had become incredibly serious over the years, and we’re on this ambitious journey to bring back a bit of fun.’
