hey say that uncertainty is the only thing you can be certain of in life. While none of us can predict what is to come for the real estate market over the next year, one thing I can be certain about is that choosing to purchase a home is one of the best investments a person can make. From opening a gateway to generational wealth to creating a safe
haven for your family, the role that homeownership plays in our lives will continue to pay off for years to come. When you are a homeowner, you tend to feel a stronger connection to your community, you are truly invested in being a part of something bigger than yourself. As you look around at your current or potential home, I want you to think not just about the number of rooms or the square footage, but instead think about the experience you’ll have living there. True luxury is when the design, the location, the amenities all come together to create an experience unique to the people living there. Our home experts have come together this month to help provide you with the inspiration to make your luxury property uniquely yours. Like starting with your home’s first impression: the architecture. Beyond serving as a frame, the artful details incorporated into the building itself can make it a one-of-a-kind work of art. Or thinking about some of the most important members of the family: your pets. A custom kennel for your pampered pooch or an elegant paddock for your prize-winning steed? These are the small details that make all the difference. One area that has really drawn my attention as someone for whom fitness has become an integral part my daily life is seeing how luxury homeowners are investing in both high-end fitness and smart home technology focused on improving their quality of life. Custom-designed gyms, infrared saunas and private Pilates studios are putting wellness at the center of luxury living. Whatever your idea of luxury might be, our CENTURY 21 Fine Homes & Estates designated agents are ready to serve as your trusted adviser and guide you on the path to the perfect investment.

AT HOME WITH SUSAN TYNAN, CEO FRAMEBRIDGE
In your house, which is your favorite room? I love my dining room because it has a lot of style, but it’s also like a warm hug—it envelops you and you want to linger with your family and friends. There is a beautiful wallpaper with a feathery pattern on the walls and the ceiling and the trim are Benjamin Moore Amazon Green. There are daring accents like the brilliant yellow, and oversized light fixture and the pink velvet chairs, but it’s comfortable, too. It’s wild, but unintimidating. What makes this particular room special to you? We designed it three years ago and we have had hundreds of meaningful meals there already—holidays, everyday family dinners, game nights, business dinners, book club meetings, and birthday celebrations. I dreamt of a home that was totally real and livable, but still had some flair. My friend Zoe Feldman really helped me bring that to life. 4
What are some things that you personally feel make your house a home? Of course, I believe that the most meaningful way to make your house a home is to frame meaningful artifacts from your life. We’re all so inspired by each other and Instagram that homes can start to look alike. But framing photos and mementos of your life is such a wonderful way to make your home uniquely yours. When sitting in our dining room, you can see a large gallery wall up our main stairs. That wall is filled with treasures from our life—from a Corita Kent signed print from my childhood bedroom to a program from the Oriental Express (a wonderful trip I won in a raffle!). The entire wall is filled with travel treasures and personal significance.

For one of the most luxurious experiences in home fitness, create your own dedicated Pilates studio, where you can work out in private or be trained by an expert instructor. Ditch the humble floor mat in favor of a Pilates reformer machine for a workout that is both intense and dynamic. The equipment alone can make a design statement with its sleek lines and precision engineering, but you can add floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and serene color palettes to enhance the sense of calm and focus during your practice. The mind-body harmony achieved through reformer Pilates is a cherished luxury for those who understand the value of holistic well-being.

OF ART
The exterior of your house can be a work of art in itself.

C
onnoisseurs

know
that luxurious living is defined by artful details.
Without
personal taste and refinement, a house is merely a frame; it is
because of the carefully chosen design elements that a home becomes a unique work of art. Luckily, unlike a canvas mounted to a wall, a home has an almost inexhaustible number of surfaces, dimensions, and zones to which a homeowner may add their distinctive touches. Consider the entryway. A front door can be transformed from a basic threshold into an astonishing custom metal-and-glass portal with signature inlays, designed to incorporate references not only to the context of the site, but also to the homeowner’s personality. The front door can also be a marvel of rare wood shaped by a masterful carver. As with any renowned sculpture, there is no set template. Choosing elements for both the exterior and the interior of a home begins with understanding the fundamentals of artful design. From interior mosaics to exterior cladding, achieving a unique look is as much about the materials as it is the atmosphere they ultimately create.
EXTERIOR CL ADDING Imagine the sunrise gently climbing planks of silky Japanese timber, or gleaming against a custom porcelain stoneware cladding with a travertine finish. Or, perhaps, a playful mixture of the two. By its very nature, exterior cladding is meant both to protect the home and set the overall aesthetic tone for visitors. Luxury exterior cladding elegantly blends these two requirements, offering an array of textures, colors, and finishes. Timber cladding often creates a warm, earthy atmosphere. The wood itself can be treated to highlight the natural grain or be submerged within a deep hue. Each treatment creates a very different effect; a natural wood grain will reflect more sunlight, while a dark paint finish will absorb light and add a note of intrigue. Of course, there is no rule that a homeowner must choose only 22

23
one finish for their cladding. A mixture of charred and natural wood, especially if one finish is used primarily as an accent near an entryway or perhaps for one floor of the home, can create a dynamic pattern. Stone cladding, meanwhile, conjures a majestic and classic atmosphere, especially if it is visibly textured. Throughout the day, light and shadow chase each other across the valleys and peaks of a travertine wall; at night, spotlights can illuminate its arresting complexity. Smoother stone finishes, such as marble, are also markers of sophistication. A homeowner may choose a flecked marble finish to be in conversation with the surrounding landscaping, or a striking monochrome appearance to change the conversation altogether.
MOSAICS One of the most artful design elements in any home is a custom mosaic. The subject matter, the individual materials, even the location of the mosaic itself can all be customized to a homeowner’s vision. Ceilings, walls, floors, accents within a larger scheme—mosaics can be positioned virtually anywhere. The trick is to choose a site that allows for contemplation, whether it’s at the foot of a grand staircase, as a repeating motif along a corridor, or as the defining look of the ceiling of the great room. While mosaics can be made to depict specific subject matter, they can also be abstract. An
