Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

THE WATERHOUSE

China

The Waterhouse at South Bund, Shanghai puts a modern twist on a converted warehouse.

If you want a hotel in the pumping metropolis of Shanghai then we suggest you add the hot new boutique hotel The Waterhouse to your list.

Opened in July 2010, The Waterhouse at South Bund is a boutique hotel with just 19 rooms.

A classic conversion of a 1930s warehouse – The Waterhouse is the concept of a Singaporean lawyer-turned-hotelier Loh Lik Peng.

The hotel has beautifully appointed rooms that show attention to detail and include beautiful furniture by the likes of designers Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, and Hans Wegner.

Abundant windows counterpoint slick interiors, with most suites featuring a small balcony or terrace.

For those who love European cuisine fear not, The Waterhouse restaurant Table No 1 by Jason Atherton, serves up modern European cuisine while the absolute highlight has to be the rooftop bar terrace.
