Restrained. Sophisticated. Balanced. Meticulously curated. Eminently livable. The same qualities that define the work of designer Charles Allem drive his approach to creating some of the most distinguished residences and groundbreaking commercial projects in the world.

Since the start of his career in his native Johannesburg, South Africa, where he assisted legendary designer David Hicks on the design of one of his family’s homes at the age of 14, Allem has become a globally celebrated and peerless design director, who is consistently sought by prominent clientele — including top sports figures, A-list celebrities, and premier developers — for his extensive knowledge and mastery of design.

Among the highly acclaimed projects designed by C.A.D. International are award-winning hotels, including The Mira Hotel in Hong Kong, the Vanke Tongshanjie in Shanghai, and the W Hotels in Miami, Las Vegas, and Macau, as well as luxury condominium developments, such as the Regalia in Sunny Isles, Eleven On Lenox in Miami Beach, and 245 Tenth in New York, along with countless private residences for elite clients around the globe.

Regularly covered in leading shelter magazines and appearing on the prestigious AD 100 list, Architectural Digest’s annual tally of the world’s most gifted interior designers, Allem’s work has brought him to London, New York, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and Miami, where he now runs his principal studio with a satellite office in Manhattan.
