Yolanda was recommended by a close friend. Yolanda is very thorough and knowledgeable of the whole buying process. She guided us from the beginning to the end. She never left us and is always available to answer whatever questions we had. We had an excellent experience with Yolanda Rosario. Although our buying process took us a little longer than expected, she made it easier for us to endure the process. As a first time home buyer, we can say that we are blessed to have her as our realtor who became our trusted resource and valuable friend. Yolanda stood with us more as a friend than as a business client. She always kept in touch and asking us if we need any help. She is excellent in her profession. She is best in the west.

I would like to say that it has been a delight to work with Ms. Yolanda. She made the process of selling our house quick and simple. She put so much time and effort to get the price we wanted and made sure we were happy with the outcome. Friendship was built because of her thoughtfulness and kindness. Yolanda is a professional that I would recommend to anyone.
- Emee Daplas
As “first-time home buyers”, everything is not easy for us. We had a lack of knowledge about the process so we were hesitant to continue to purchase a house. A relative who had purchased a home almost three years ago mentioned Ms. Yolanda Rosario who was their agent before. I have talked to other agents from other company but I was not satisfied the way they approached and talked to us. I feel like they were not considering our financial situation. When I met Ms. Yolanda Rosario, everything went out smoothly. She explained every detail and she was so quick with every process. She motivated us and initiated to help in whatever concerns we had that time. She managed to be professional at all times, yet she is emphatic to her clients and the factors that hinders the home buyers in purchasing a house, she would resolve it just like a piece of cake. She will take a lead in choosing the best house and always thinks ahead of time to make all things settled.

The demand for luxury never takes a breather, but the components of luxury residential environments are constantly in ux. Transitions in lifestyle preferences, technology, and demographics have challenged designers to express the quality of high-end home accessories in new, innovative ways. With the pandemic behind us but not forgotten, many of the most in-demand accessories are fueled by comfort, convenience, and wellness.
John Cialone, partner and vice president at Chicago-based Tom Stringer Design Partners — the rm’s portfolio features cosmopolitan penthouses and waterfront retreats across the country — reports, “Our clients have access to everything, so nding something truly unique, which nobody else has, can be challenging.” He adds, “People love things that are clever, but especially when they’re functional or solve design problems,” citing items like pop-up

TVs and secret doors. “We do a lot of hidden doors, usually so the aesthetics of a library or wall space aren’t interrupted,” says Cialone of this quintessential cloak-and-dagger feature.
Acknowledging that lighting has a profound impact on a space, Cialone admires the toptier products of Los Angeles-based Alison Berger Glassworks, which offers handblown, custom lighting commissions. More accessible is South Carolina’s Urban Electric Co., which is adept at mixing different nishes per the requirements of some Tom Stringer Design Partners projects. For someone who has everything, Cialone suggests constellationthemed tableware from German porcelain maker Nymphenburg, whose hand-painted “My Private Sky” plates present the night sky as it appeared at any time and place signi cant to the homeowner.
“I have a great appreciation for ne-quality textiles,” notes Cialone, adding, “Everybody knows Hermès, but Sandra Jordan produces alpaca textiles that are not quite cashmere but are extremely luxurious.” The sustainable product is used for throws and pillows or for upholstering furniture. A unique accessory, applicable for both entertaining and décor, is a Scrabble set with exquisite leather-wrapped
tiles from London-based Asprey, priced at more than $15,000. Game rooms continue to evolve, with billiard table designs that complement any architectural style. Cialone recently commissioned New York’s Blatt Billiards for a custom vintage-style table, and for contemporary aesthetics, designers look to Impatia, located outside Milan, whose billiard and ping-pong tables have the sleek
styling of Italian sports cars. Art and music are perennial interests among luxury homeowners, and Sondra Ganz, founder and principal designer at Studio Ganz in San Francisco, incorporates both into her projects. “Clients are less interested in super-expensive art and are gravitating toward pieces by emerging and local artists,” she says. “Many of my clients are involved in playing music or collecting instruments, and whenever possible, I like to incorporate those into the décor,” she adds. Ganz notes that serious audiophiles are now
acquiring reel-to-reel music players, which are said to deliver better sound quality than vinyl. “They can be quite expensive, and because they have more of a physical presence than turntables, they create an element of surprise in a room.”
Ganz reports another pandemic in uence (one that is here to stay) is the incorporation of greenery into the home, and she works with horticulturalists specializing in bespoke interior planting. She receives frequent requests for Zip Water faucets in the kitchen, which Cialone also reports are in demand by his clients. This
multifunctional faucet, which dispenses ltered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, appeals to health- and eco-conscious homeowners while eliminating the need for teapots or SodaStream machines.
The home gym has always been an essential space in ultra-luxury residences, but the pandemic made it an even greater priority. For a more artistic version of the stationary bike, high-income workout enthusiasts opt for the Ciclotte Bike. Priced at almost $20,000, the traditional frame is replaced by an ethereal glass disk, making the crystalline unicycle almost entirely transparent — a truly seductive piece of gym equipment. In San Francisco, where square footage is often scarce, Ganz reports that many of her clients seek to combine an of ce with space for cycling or yoga.
Another interior design priority reinforced during the pandemic — but proving to be
enduring — is the ever-increasing value of the kitchen, no longer hidden behind closed doors but now a showcase for sophisticated design and a prime venue for entertainment. While cutting-edge technology is encouraged, tradition can be equally compelling, demonstrated by classically styled La Cornue ranges handcrafted in France. A myriad of options and custom colors are available, and with all the bells and whistles, a La Cornue appliance can cost as much as a Ferrari.
Steven Cooper, principal designer at Cooper Paci c Kitchens — the company has showrooms in Los Angeles and Big Sky, Montana — reports that La Cornue ranges are serious cooking machines that double as pieces of art. “It’s the ‘original’ French range made one at a time, so it’s fully customizable to your lifestyle and whatever you like to cook,” says Cooper. “In the American market, it’s known rst for its aesthetics and the allure of French styling, but it’s also beloved by serious chefs,” he adds. Cooper notes that students at Le Cordon Bleu culinary school learn their craft on La Cornue ranges. This article originally appeared in the Winter 2024 issue of Homes & Estates.

Saint B arthélemy
Exploring the Exclusive Caribbean Enclave with French Heritage and Island Lifestyle.
Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, Saint Barthélemy is a true paradise for those seeking a blend of luxury and natural beauty. And now it is home to one of our newest Coldwell Banker of ces, Coldwell Banker Saint Barth. Broker/Owner Gabriel Montigny, who has also opened an of ce in the French Riviera, took the time to share the unique lifestyle on the island, which combines the tranquility of pristine beaches with the sophistication of gourmet dining and high-end shopping. Whether savoring a leisurely lunch on the beach or taking a relaxing walk along the coast, every moment on this island is a celebration of the ner things in life, and luxury travelers have been ocking to Saint Barth for years during the holidays and high season.
As shared by Gabriel, the perfect weekend in Saint Barthélemy is a seamless blend of relaxation and indulgence. One can picture savoring a delicious lunch on the beach, followed by a leisurely afternoon soaking up
the sun on the soft, white sands. As the day winds down, a sumptuous dinner awaits, offering a taste of the island’s renowned culinary scene with French in uences. He states, “Saint Barthélemy is much more than just a destination; it is a place where elegance meets serenity. Its charm lies in the pristine beauty of its landscapes, the exclusivity of its atmosphere, and the warmth of its culture.” One of the key elements, of course, is the tranquility the island offers for its more discerning guests. As Monsieur Montigny shares, “it is a true haven of peace where every moment becomes an unforgettable experience.” Given the island’s remote location, getting there is an adventure, with travelers often connecting through regional airports in the Caribbean or taking a scenic ferry ride from SaintMartin, and perhaps lends to the air of mystique around the island. This journey, much like the island itself, is a testament to the exclusivity and charm that de ne Saint Barthélemy.
History: An Island at the Crossroads of Cultures. Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and named in honor of his brother Bartolomeo, Saint Barthélemy boasts a rich and complex history. Colonized by the French in the 17th century, it was ceded to Sweden in 1784 before returning to French rule in 1878. This Swedish legacy has left a lasting mark, evident in the name of the capital, Gustavia, and in certain local traditions. The island subsisted on shing and agriculture for centuries before transforming in the 1970s into a sought-after destination renowned for its exclusivity and breathtaking natural beauty.
Geography: A Gem of the Lesser Antilles. With an area of 25 km2, Saint Barthélemy is nestled in the Lesser Antilles, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The island stands out for its lush green hills, sheltered coves, and some of
the most stunning beaches in the world. Each district offers its own unique charm: Gustavia with its picturesque harbor, Colombier for its unspoiled nature, and Saint Jean for its lively atmosphere. Its tropical climate, moderated by trade winds, ensures pleasant temperatures year-round.
Economy: Luxury and Exclusivity at the Forefront. Saint Barth’s economy is primarily driven by high-end tourism, attracting an international clientele seeking luxury and tranquility. The island is famed for its prestigious villas, ve-star hotels, and gourmet restaurants. Local commerce, centered on luxury goods and international brands, complements this dynamic. Thanks to its status as an overseas collectivity, Saint Barth enjoys scal autonomy, which enhances its economic appeal and helps preserve its unique lifestyle.
