AFFORDABLE HOMES
RUNWAY TO ROOFTOP: FASHION DESIGNER’S FIRST HOME WITH STUNNING LONDON SKYLINE VIEWS Fashion designer Siri Saritasurarak moved into her first home in London’s Canary Wharf, securing a coveted Zone 1 location as her entry into the London property market. Originally from Bangkok, she came to London to study at The London College of Fashion in 2008 and has been in the city ever since, officially becoming a British citizen in 2018
Situated on the top floor at Consort Place by Latimer, the one bedroom apartment is now a home and headquarters for her fashion brand, with panoramic views of the city including iconic landmarks such as The Shard,The London Eye,The Gherkin and the River Thames. Having lived in this area of the city for 10 years, Siri felt part of the community in Canary Wharf and had made many friends locally. With her sights set on buying her first home and staying close to the life she had built, she began her property search. Siri explain, “I first viewed this apartment after exploring a few other properties in the area, as well as some in Zone 4 to compare space. It became clear that settling for a different location would leave me feeling disappointed. However, it wasn’t until I discovered Consort Place that I finally felt the connection I had been searching for in a home. “As soon as I walked into this apartment I felt at home and was totally blown away by the view. I’d finally found the home for me. It’s absolutely incredible and without
in the communal area on the 30th floor that has a terrace and large indoor area, which is great for additional work space or somewhere to spend time with friends.” She adds, “Without Shared Ownership, there is no way I could afford this address. I worked out the numbers and the rent for the very small studio apartment I was living in before was much more. Here I pay significantly less a month and also have the security of owning 25% of the property. There’s no question that this route to owning a home in a central London location makes sense.” Siri concludes, “I still have to pinch myself every day. With such spectacular views over London, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.” Prices at Consort Place start from £135,250 (25% share of the full market value).
Shared Ownership, there’s no way I could afford this prime location.” Driven by her entrepreneurial spirit, fashion expertise, and personal journey of discovering strength through fitness and wellness during challenging times, Siri launched her own activewear brand, RAIA, in 2023. Now running an independent boutique, Siri designs the collections herself, blending her qualifications as a personal trainer, TRX instructor and nutrition coach with years of experience as a fashion designer for leading British designers and popular high street brands. Her designs are worn by various celebrities including Ariana Grande and high-profile influencers. Busy running and growing her business, Siri works from home and benefits from being in such incredible surroundings. She continues, “I find that my home environment gives me inspiration. As well as the impressive views from my apartment, I can find a change of scenery
