Atellior’s latest project Saffron Wharf Apartment at London Dock is featured in The Times
Project, launched last week. The 18-storey tower takes its name from the precious spice, still more valuable than gold, that was imported to the docks from Iran, India and China. Saffron Wharf pays homage to the area’s character with interior design touches, while residents can enjoy a pool, squash court, cinema and virtual golf suite.
Una Barac, the executive director at the design firm Atellior, which curated the interiors, says that the firm wanted to “pay homage to London docks’ authentic and colourful character”. She adds: “We wanted the design to be a real showcase of everything saffron stands for: luxury, history, richness. To do this we’ve used ochre and rich amber tones throughout the home, as well as carrying the soft scent of saffron through the rooms.”
The apartments, all of which have balconies, also have patterned timber flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows. Kitchens have bronze splashbacks and stone worktops, with integrated Miele appliances. Residents will also have access to plenty of amenities, including a gym, heated pool, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, squash court, cinema and a virtual golf suite. Saffron Wharf is a five-minute stroll from Tower Bridge and a 15-minute walk, or five-minute bike ride, from London Bridge.
