Casa Alta Design has been shortlisted for City Space (Apartment/Penthouse) – London Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

The brief required Casa Alta Design to transform an originally bland developer’s apartment into a warm and welcoming home with simply the best of everything. The focus was to supply the most cutting-edge technological features – the whole apartment can be controlled from a remote location – infused with the design creating a beautiful yet comfortable and convenient space.

The apartment, located by the Thames, now prioritizes the views from all windows creating a connection with its amazing surroundings. By using extensive framing of all windows, clad with American Walnut and following the same grain as per joinery, Casa Alta Design have integrated the gorgeous viewpoints such as The Shard and other London landmarks as a backdrop for the rooms.

The client’s South American roots inspired the design concept with carefully curated references – marbles, bronze, dark wood, and a concise but rich palette of colours. Built throughout the COVID 19 lockdowns and supply disruptions, this project is a statement of Casa Alta Design’s commitment to delivering projects to the highest standards.

The bespoke joinery package for this project was extensive and Casa Alta Design had to work closely with the joinery contractors. The craftsmen at GS Contracts and Gaysha are no strangers to working with exotic materials and demanding briefs. However, when the tender package included the client’s request for ‘The Best of Everything,’ everybody’s attention to detail became obsessive. To ensure an even grain throughout the joinery, the designers used a single American Walnut log creating a sense of continuity in all pieces. The superb verde tinos green marble cladding has a special leathered surface texture.
