Dara Huang, founder of London and Hong Kong-based architecture and design studio Design Haus Liberty, has curated a penthouse design at South Quay Plaza, a Foster + Partners-designed residential building in the London Docklands. Huang's concept brings an organic and sensual aesthetic to living in this slim glass skyscraper, where comfort and opulence are combined with cutting-edge architectural design.
Huang’s bespoke three bedroom penthouse is located on the 65th floor of South Quay Plaza’s tallest building. The development features a pair of slim glass columns, one reaching 68 storeys and the smaller tower reaching 36. With the first phase expected to complete in 2021, South Quay plaza’s towers are each angled at a 45 degree rotation to capture the best views of London and the river Thames.
Over the 888 homes in the building, Foster + Partners made sure every apartment had dual aspect and floor to ceiling glazing, flooding light through the spaces and opening up the outside to all inhabitants. While Foster + Partners designed the interior specification of the penthouse, Design Haus Liberty has carefully curated the atmosphere.
Amenties at South Quay Plaza include vitality pool, thermal suite with hot pool, sauna, steam room complete the wellness facilities
In the living space eclectic and unexpected materials are mixed to bring warmth and personality – an original curved Vladimir Kagan velvet sofa is combined with a woven ottoman pouf of Scottish wool, and a patinated brass wine and whiskey unit.
‘The bespoke pieces, splashes of colour and use of natural materials create a vibrant atmosphere for anyone who loves entertaining,’ says Dara Huang, founder, Design Haus Liberty.
The huge dining table, illuminated by handblown globe lights designed by DHLux, Design Haus Liberty’s lighting division, sets the tone for the social cooking and entertaining areas. Blue bar chairs pull up beneath the marble kitchen island for informal after-work drinks.
Deep jewel tones and soft materials continue in the master bedroom. Within the room lined with a forest green bamboo silk wallpaper, you'll find a cashmere headboard, an antique rug and cashmere linen curtains
