Penthouse at Westlegate Tower

Norwich City Centre, Norfolk

PROJECT TYPE:

Design of city centre new build penthouse

PHOTOGRAPHER:

Sylvaine Poitau

The award-winning Penthouse at Westlegate Tower, Norwich is the tallest residential building within the city centre walls, boasting spectacular views towards many landmark buildings such as Norwich Castle.

The client purchased the apartment off plan and we worked with them throughout the build stage right through to completion of the turn-key project.

The interior has been designed to complement the view from the room-height glazed panels using natural materials and a variety of textures.

Our design brief was to create an apartment for the client that was in keeping with the country interior he had previously enjoyed, while gently evolving the style to suit the contemporary building and city lifestyle.

The design process involved researching the heritage of the building in Norwich and using the architectural style as an influence for the interior.

The sky lounge is positioned on the top floor of the tower and has been designed to reflect the style of a ski lodge. It gives the opportunity to imagine you could be anywhere as all you can see from the lodge is the sky.

In 2015 we received the award for Best Interior Design Apartment East of England at the United Kingdom Property Awards for our work on this exciting project.

Working with Lanassir Lawes and the entire Swank Interiors team was really easy and stressless. I would have had no idea how to start or manage such a project.

Lanassir listened and understood my need to make the apartment functional, contemporary and cosy. Using innovative space-saving ideas she increased the apartment’s sleeping capacity from five to seven, added an additional ‘hidden’ kitchen and a lodge styled sky lounge for year round entertaining!

Her team managed the entire project from design, storyboarding, fabric selection, commissioning and installation on budget and on time. They liaised with decorators and tradesmen to transform the colour pallette from basic to sumptuous, lighting from bland to spectacular and ordinary to award-winning! I would most definitely use Lanassir at Swank Interiors for any future projects of my own and highly recommend her to others.
