Asta House provides a new take on urban living, right in the heart of the characterful and well-connected

Fitzrovia District with its great history of artists, writers and designers. With a W1 postcode, this is a

place close to the bustle of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street, yet tucked away on the quiet corner

of Whitfield Street and Chitty Street.

Asta House is an airy, wide-windowed brick and Cumbrian slate building – originally for light-industrial use, then offices and studios – dating from the 1950s.

Now Derwent London is transforming this very adaptable building into a thoughtfully designed and richly detailed

residential enclave with a variety of apartments and two penthouses, all overseen by an on-site concierge.

5 . 6 .

The theme is set from the moment you step through the solid dark wood door at street level. Inside you find an entrance lobby with parquet f looring and light-painted timber panelling, a concierge desk and leather seating for visitors. Classic 1950s Italian light fittings nod to retained aspects of the building’s heritage such as the green and cream Terrazzo staircase with

its delicate metal railings.

The design is stylish but simple, with luxurious materials throughout. Dark glazed wall tiles lead from the entrance to the lift lobby at the rear. If you take the stairs, you get

the benefit of angled views through large windows on every staircase landing.

7 . 8 .

Your own front door – again in dark wood – with a solid brass doorknob. Inside, the palette of materials continues in a lighter tone, with textured

sawn wooden f loors, white walls and feature Dada kitchens with lacqueredand Corian surfaces. New, wide, high-performance metal-framed windows

increase the sense of space and light.

9 . 1 0 .

Many of the spaces open up to each other with sliding, glazed, space-saving doors. Ample built-in storage is provided.

11 . 1 2 .

The apartments range from one to three bedroom, all benefitting from generous metal-framed windows, textured wooden f loors

and Molteni&C fitted wardrobes.

1 3 . 1 4 .

The bathrooms have bespoke vanity/mirror units in a crisp modern style with porcelain walls and elegant marble effect f loor tiling.

Luxurious living within a crafted and contemporary boutique building.

Well-provided with excellent restaurants, pubs and cafés, private art galleries and shops, it has long been an independently-minded district that is as much residential, commercial and (with University College London nearby) academic.

It s gr id of st reets, la id out f rom Georg ian t imes onwards, was a key locat ion for the postwar Avant-Garde ar t set

known as the English Constructionis t s, but the ar t ist ic presence here,including wr iters and music ians, goes back centur ies fur ther.

We have a well-established team that draws on the skill of a wide range of designers including architects, landscape architects, art galleries and specialist stone, metal and furniture suppliers. These skills and products come together to create finely crafted and detailed buildings which have proved immensely popular with occupiers. The buildings include the Tea Building in Shoreditch, Johnson Building in Midtown, the Angel Building, Turnmill and Buckley Building in Clerkenwell and the White Collar Factory in Old Street.

Our residential buildings are fewer in number but the design and attention to detail is undiminished. Queens, the boutique Art Deco scheme at the end of Westbourne Grove was extremely popular, as was the award winning Corner House in Fitzrovia, whilst Sweeps in Hatton Garden and The Lofts at Portobello raised design standards in their locations. Asta House has undergone a r igorous design development process to meet our high standards and with The Charlotte Apartments in the adjoining block, we look forward to launching these over the next couple of years.
