MARKET INSIGHT
WITH REAL ESTATE EXPERT JEFF MILLER
Q&A
WHAT MAKES SOUTH OF FIFTH MIAMI BEACH’S MOST DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOOD?
For real estate buyers looking in Miami, all eyes are on South of Fifth. The Miami Beach neighborhood consistently tops the lists of prospective buyers, especially those from Manhattan and the northeast. What makes South of Fifth, or SoFi, so desirable is its unique blend of the best of all worlds. South of Fifth residents enjoy a laid back, residential feel set at the southern end of vibrant Miami Beach and with easy access to Miami’s mainland. Numerous culinary options, from haute cuisine for nights out as well as casual restaurants for families and every day dining, fill the neighborhood along with coffee shops, bars, nightlife, boutiques, and fitness studios. Something for everyone is always just footsteps away. Jeff Miller, one of Miami’s top realtors and a luxury real estate expert with unparalleled experience guiding buyers, sellers and investors, frequently works with out of state buyers searching for Miami properties. “Whether I’m working with someone looking for a Miami property as a vacation home or to relocate full-time, South of Fifth is often the first place we start. It’s a go-to for wealthy buyers. The combination of the condos and the area overall is a rare gem for even the
most discerning, seasoned buyers,” says Miller. When considering South of Fifth, Miller recommends buyers focus their searches on two exceptional buildings, Apogee and Continuum. Both offer spacious floor plans, security, and exclusivity in prime locations. Two of Miller’s newest, exclusive listings illustrate exactly why. Apogee 801, offered at $10.9 million, is one of the most impressive residences at the coveted address. This 3,731 square foot corner unit features three bedrooms and an expansive flow through layout. Breathtaking inside and out, the home features limestone floors throughout and a custom lacquer taupe kitchen with chef’s caliber appliances. The heavenly master suite consists of a spacious bedroom, spa-like ocean view bathroom, and huge designer showroom inspired closet. Two additional bedrooms, bathrooms and a den provide ample space for family and guests. Perfect for Miami’s year-round warm temperatures, a 2,400 square foot wraparound balcony is ready to entertain with a summer kitchen, gas BBQ and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, South Pointe Park, Miami Beach Marina and the city skyline. Among the building’s world-class resort style amenities are personalized services, security, gym, spa, infinity pool, and two car garages for each residence. Continuum 1801, offered at $9.3 million, is a dream home condo set in a private club-like community. At 3,497 square feet, the three bedroom residence’s breezy, flow through floor plan makes way to four large balconies with stunning views and plenty of room to relax and unwind or wine and dine. Sleek, serene designer staging with furniture and decor available for purchase shows off the residence’s
elegant, top of the line features make this a chic South Beach escape. Continuum owners enjoy exclusive, residents only access to an unparalleled resort lifestyle. In addition to 24-hour security, valet and concierge service, Continuum is home to poolside dining, a fitness center, spa, and private beach club. While Continuum’s beach club sets it apart from other nearby buildings, Miller offers an insider solution should buyers fall in love with a home elsewhere: a studio or one bedroom unit at Continuum perfectly complements a full size condo nearby by offering beach club access as well as extra space for guests.
APOGEE 801
JEFF’S SOFI GUIDE
Miller’s Five Favorite Picks
Pura Vida - Coffee, breakfast or lunch at Pura Vida is almost a daily occurrence. It’s the go-to spot for everything from a healthy wrap or salad to a satisfying hangover breakfast sandwich. It’s all organic, they have Vegan options, and great post-workout smoothies and juices. Joe’s Stone Crab - The Staple. Joe’s is an institution. Stone crabs and key lime pie in the dining room never fails to impress. The adjacent ‘take-away’ and market is a surprisingly easy way to pick up an elegant dinner to take home and a lively see and be seen lunch spot on weekdays. Prime Italian - Another insider tip… Prime Italian serves many of the Instagram famous dishes as the celebrity hangout Prime 112 but it’s usually much easier to score a last minute table. Planta - It’s hard to believe this is a vegan restaurant. Planta gives plant-based dining a hearty, comfort food spin and even serves veggie sushi that looks and tastes like the real deal. Tasty cocktails and a sexy playlist make this a date night or pre-nightlife best bet. Lolo’s Surf Cantina - South Beach’s take on Mexican beach taco stand. Lolo’s makes for a delicious snack after a day at the beach or a fun, fuss-free dinner with friends or family. CONTINUUM 1801

@hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 15
I
t’s March in Miami and the weather is perfect. We are in one of the beautiful multimillion dollar penthouses of the Reach Residences at Brickell City Center. Just a day ago, the NBA announced that it would suspend games until further notice due the pandemic we all know as COVID-19. Andre Iguodala, Miami HEAT’s latest acquisition and New York Times Best Selling author, joins Haute Living for a little one-on-one and discusses his memoir, The Sixth Man, his endeavors outside of the court and his transition to the Magic City. HAUTE LIVING: You wrote in your memoir, The Sixth Man: “Pretty much everything I learned about how to be successful, how to show up for life, how to go for what I want and how to be prepared came from my mom.” Can you elaborate on this? The foundation of who you are is important, and family was the cornerstone of where your story begins. ANDRE IGUODALA: Yeah, mom was pretty dope. She would navigate through different environments and I picked that up pretty early. Whether we were in church, or she was at a parent-teacher conference or we were at the Boys and Girls Club, or we were at a barbecue, she could maneuver [through] different personalities, different people—she learned how to adapt and be able to communicate to get her point across. Seeing how my mom delegated all the arenas of life taught me the right balance. At the end of the day, balance is what I have been recently learning, especially being a professional athlete, having the stigma of ‘you are just an athlete.’ What’s an athlete supposed to look like? What kind of car does he drive? How do you act? How do you speak? What kind of endeavors do you do outside the game—which they really don’t want you to [do], they want you to focus on the game. Just [understanding] the mental capacity of being a professional athlete and how it evolved and seeing how important that balance is. If you say basketball isn’t everything, it is frowned upon and it’s always been like this, especially with AfricanAmerican men. But I prepare better than anyone when it comes to it. And I think you have to keep that point [balance] front and center and let people know that is not all of who you are.

HL: You are so much more than that. It was impressive to learn that as a young man, your grades were just as important as sports. Being successful off the court seems to have always been a part of your vision for yourself. AI: What was interesting about that is that my mom was always like, ‘You are going to learn to read and write and do it at a high level.’ And then the mindset came where I wanted to get it done and be the best at it. And it was like riding a bike, like breathing. My mom was always telling us, ‘You have the thirst for knowledge. You have to get out of here, you have to go see the world.’ So, not really knowing what that meant, I went to school and I already knew how to read and write. But, the part that really motivated me was that I was very competitive. Once I started learning about grades—I set the goal that I wanted to be the smartest person in my class, especially because all the kids that were smart didn’t look like me. HL: That’s what made your coaches take you seriously—your grades. The scene that you painted on your first day of high school, when you walked into the classroom as an honor student and the teacher asked for your papers to confirm that you belonged there—that was powerful. AI: I will never forget that. She asked me for my schedule and asked me if I was sure I knew where I was at. That’s when it all clicked and I started seeing the world a little different. I always hear that I throw race into it. But, from that moment on, I started seeking out the history of our country and its relationship with people that look like me. In college I took every African-American studies course and, still until this day, I pick up those books. I have a rotation of different types of books I read, whether it’s a biography or a self-help book or a finance book with business or black history and empowerment books. Right now, I just finished The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama. I learned from that book that we have things backwards. Everything we do, especially in a capitalist society, everything we do is for ourselves—whether it is [looking at] how many likes we have or painting a picture of who we want people to see us as, or showing people what we got, what we earned. We are all here to serve one another. That’s something I have made my personal mantra. How can I help maximize the person that’s closest to me, that works with me on a daily basis. Every time I go into work and I’m working with my guys, I’m learning about them. I’m asking them questions like, ‘What are your hobbies?’ They think it’s small talk, but there is actually a purpose behind it. I’m trying to figure them out. So, at the end of the day, if there is one piece of advice that I gave that they can take and move forward and it makes them become a better person or a better athlete—that’s what I want to do. That’s the approach that I’m taking. HL: In your memoir, you share a moment in your development as a player when you were challenged because you recognized that you were no longer the dominant player on the team. You started paying attention to your teammates to see where you could set them up for success. Do you employ that same strategy professionally? AI: That’s what I’ve taken on as one of my jobs. You don’t hear about too many people in any workplace where that is something they try to do. I always tell my teammates that this goes way beyond basketball. And I always say, when we are playing, [that] most guys have their posses, their entourage, your friends and family, those you grew up with. You bring them along your journey, you employ [them] and bring them with you. But, when you’re done playing, you have a wife, family,
“we are all here to serve one another. that’s something i have made my personal mantra.”

“it’s a very family-oriented organization where they welcome you with open arms and once you become a part of the family, you are a part of the family for life and you can feel that right away.”
kids. And the posse kind of phases out. And, I tell them, when you go on a vacation, when you are done playing, you are not traveling with 10 people on vacation. It’s basically you, your wife, and your kids—but when you want to get away, who are you traveling with? Who can actually travel with you that you don’t have to pay for? Those are your teammates. I tell them, ‘I’m gonna be the person you go on vacation with.’ That’s from age 35 until the end. And that’s a very long time. So these relationships go much further beyond basketball, ‘cause who [else] can relate to the mental and physical struggles that we went through, besides us? And we can understand and relate to one another like no other. HL: Why did you decide to write this memoir? And why did you decide to do it with Carvell Wallace? AI: I guess, to answer the Carvell question first, I was reading a lot of articles with my business partner, Rudy Cline-Thomas, and we were always trading information. Or, if it was something he thought I needed to know, he would send it to me. Then we came up with the idea of writing a book. From that moment on, we were on the lookout for someone that could co-write this with us, whose tone could tell my story. We came across an article that Wallace wrote on an Atlanta rapper that was killed, Bankroll Fresh. It was the story of how he was on the up-and-up, rising in fame; just the way he died was crazy—in a hail of bullets outside the recording studio that he was at. And how that happened, [it] happens more than we think in the inner city, the plight of the African-American male in American society in the inner city—and he told the story so eloquently. He was able to tell his story from our perspective but make it relate to everyone. It was really powerful. And the backstory about writing the book was a conversation about the journey, the things we have been through, and what’s next. What are the next steps? So, we decided we were going to get into the tech space. Next, we were going to have all the athletes come into one space to open up our network to them and teach them. Then, we were like, ‘What else are we going to do?’ We thought [of] a podcast and then a book. I read Trevor Noah’s book, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood. It was powerful. He also has a podcast show. In reading his book, it sparked memories of historical things in my mind and how I grew up, bringing back childhood memories. And I had a lot of conversations with a lot of my teammates in terms of texts, asking what’s going on. I get a lot of texts, ‘Can you teach me about this?’ ‘Can you teach me about that?’ I can’t teach some of the things they want to know via a text message, it goes much further than that. So, that became a part of the story. You get so many questions from fellow athletes. I was like, ‘Okay, read this first, and then I’m gonna break it down to you.’ I was in a situation where I was on a championship run, dealing with the media on a daily basis. I had a few viral reactions and questions—and people were like, ‘Why did you answer like this,’ or, ‘You’re so carefree, you’re so vocal and so unapologetic, why is that?’ So, the timing for the book was perfect. I wanted to tell my story and also put it out there for fellow athletes. I had a close friend that bought the book for his whole team—and that is what I wanted to get out of it. And then I run into other athletes that tell me they read the book, and that is what moves me and what I’m most proud about. HL: There’s a poignant story that you share about being in a golf club with university boosters [referred to by the NCAA as ‘representatives of the institution’s athletic interests’], and you’re making small talk with one of them. When you mention that you’re from Springfield, Illinois, one of them says, ‘The birthplace of Lincoln,’ to which you share with your readers, “What the hell was I supposed to say to that? Yes, I was born in the same place as the guy who became president when I would have been a slave. How do you deal with that today?” Is race still a conversation for you and something you deal with daily in your profession? AI: Yes, for sure. I think women are doing a really good job at being able to voice themselves in this time right now. When you interact with people, you know based on the interaction, you know that they @hauteliving HAUTE HAUTELIVING LIVING 00 19 @hauteliving

are acting the way they are acting because of the way you look. And I have seen this my whole life. I happen to be able [to] navigate just like my mother did. This is how you put someone in check who interacts with you this way. I read the Bible daily, and I see a lot of messages. For example, To whom much is given, much will be required. (Luke 12:48). So, when I’m confronted with situations l perk up, like, ‘Aw man, this is actually the good work,’ like I can’t wait to see how this goes. And then, from there, you can learn from it. And that just became my life: looking to tackle obstacles. I always tell my son, ‘Never be idle.’ It’s a Navy Seal saying, ‘Never be idle, never just be there.’ Either your mind is working to find something, or you find it and you seek it and crush it. We talk about it in basketball. You should never be idle on the basketball court. HL: Tell me about your kids. Has being raised by a single mom influenced the father you have become to your children? AI: Being a parent is something you are never prepared for. When you are around other people’s kids it’s one thing, but when it’s your own, you have a whole different perspective on it. You see life as precious. Especially having girls. I have two girls and a boy. It’s funny because gender plays a role in how you parent. With my son, I was like, ‘Fall. Please fall so you can learn how to get up.’ But with girls, you say, ‘Be careful falling.’ It’s an interesting dynamic and you try to find the balance between being stern and being hard enough, but at the same [time] making sure that they are comfortable enough to come to you with an issue that they may have because you don’t want them to feel a barrier. And that’s the hardest balance to have. I feel like I’m just learning on the fly because every child is different. The time I spend with my kids has been the happiest. Winning championships is fun, but being with your kids when they are having success at something or when they are having fun, there’s nothing like that. That’s what gives you the appreciation of life. That’s where you learn what’s really important in life. HL: Off the court, you are involved in the tech world. What prompted you to get into it? How did you get into it? AI: The tech world started as an exercise in accountability. As a professional athlete, you have an agent and a financial advisor. Those are the two key positions you hire first and foremost. One guy handles all your contracts and business affairs and makes sure he brings you in as much money as your talent says it can bring in. And the other is in charge of safeguarding your money and makes it last as long as possible. But in trusting these people you can get lazy, and become comfortable with them handling everything and before you know it, you don’t have a clue how everything works. And that’s how you get swindled, how someone steals from you. At the end of the day, it’s just lack of knowledge. And 99% of the time it’s not the athlete’s fault, in my opinion. Because who is teaching us how to balance a check book? Who is teaching us how to budget or the value of a dollar when you had negative your entire life and you walk into abundance, how can you handle that? And then you are dealing with family and friends—especially for the African-American male. I have had many conversations where we were asked why we paid for our families’ homes— but look where we come from; where you may have been on government aid your whole life or government assistance, where there was no home, no ownership. So, you go through those things and you don’t know anything about money, so you just trust someone to handle your money for you. I have been through a few financial advisors and I always try to learn on my own anything [I can]. I always try to surround myself [with] people smarter than me. I had a few friends that were in the financial sector, I asked a lot of questions, I read a lot of books. I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Standard
Important Guide to Investing; those were the first two books I read. And then I met my current business partner through a teammate and he just started challenging me. [He] would ask me, ‘What’s one of the hottest stocks right now? Why is the market up? Why is it down? Why are we going through a housing crisis?’ From there, he asked me to start my own e-trade account. So, we started investing to see how much I could make in returns. All of this was to figure out why my financial advisors were charging me what they were charging, and what fees were involved. Because ultimately, if he loses or makes money for me, he still gets paid based on how much I have in the account. What I discovered with e-trade was that I did really well and what yielded me the most return were tech stocks. So, I started following tech stocks daily and with that, you become a non-emotional investor. And I read Warren Buffet’s book, The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, and I learned that you can’t be fearful and emotional when investing. I always like to tell the backstory of being an athlete. People think that of you get $50M, you should be set for life, but in reality, you should be scared shitless. ‘Cause, for one, it’s only $25M, unless you live in Florida and you get $30M. But, when you don’t realize you are only getting $30M and you spend $40M, now you are in debt! HL: Now that you brought it to Florida, how is our Magic City treating you? How has the transition been with the Miami HEAT? AI: Miami has been good to me. I’ve been eating wonderfully! You have a very vegan-friendly environment. I go a lot to Beaker & Gray and Love Life Café. I often walk to Almalibre Açaí Bar. People ask me why I walk there. I love to walk. I walk everywhere—people sometimes ask for a picture, so I take a few pictures. Overall, Miami has been very welcoming. The Miami HEAT has this thing, ‘Miami HEAT Culture’ and they like to joke [that] we are not for everyone. They really embrace not being for everyone. If [you] ask the other 29 teams in the NBA what’s a game like against the Miami HEAT, you are going to get the same response: they play really hard, they are focused, they are locked in to the game. You have to come to that game to beat them no matter how talented you are. Teams come in really prepared to play against us. And when teams really celebrate after they beat you — you know you have their respect. The environment is incredible. I randomly read Pat Riley’s book, The Winner Within, six years ago. You [can] see a lot of similarities in how he coached the team in L.A. with the Lakers and how he built the culture with the team—they are a hard-nosed team, bruisers—and it’s the same down here. It’s a very family-oriented organization where they welcome you with open arms and once you become a part of the family, you are a part of the family for life and you can feel that right away. Whatever they can take care of, they will do it and that is pretty special. They give you a very warm welcome and once you step on the court it’s all business. It’s like, ‘You are part of our family and we are going to help you maximize your talent and we are going to hold you accountable; let’s strap on your boots and get to work.’ HL: As an avid golfer, surely you know that Miami has its fair share of beautiful courses. Have you had a chance to play any of them? AI: I haven’t been able to play golf since I arrived because on my free time, I’m working remotely with my team back in San Francisco on my side gig. The day before I got traded, I got hired at Comcast Ventures. I’m a Venture Partner on the Catalyst Fund where we invest in underrepresented entrepreneurs and founders of tech companies. So, anytime I have free time I will work out and then be on my computer and on my phone. I’m studying what makes a great company and where I should invest. It’s been pretty busy, I haven’t had the chance to enjoy Miami but I am enjoying playing for the team and the organization. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 21

THE DAVID GRUTMAN EXPERIENCE AT GOYA FOODS’ GRAND TASTING VILLAGE WITH BUSTA RHYMES As to be expected, Miami’s serial entrepreneur and hospitality king David Grutman ensured that the Festival ended in true Miami style, bringing LIV’s famed hospitality to the beaches of Miami 22 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
at the Goya Foods’ Grand Tasting Village on Sunday afternoon. Each year, Grutman and the Groot Hospitality team throw a can’t-miss daytime party, complete with live DJ beats and exploding champagne bottles as the crowd goes wild for surprise elements and live performances. This year, Grutman tapped rapper Busta Rhymes to help bring the party, and the duo did not disappoint, especially with the addition of Cedric Gervais and Gianluca Vacchi to the all-day celebration. TRIBUTE DINNER HONORING MARCUS SAMUELSSON AND JIM CLERKIN This year, the Festival’s biggest event—the Tribute Dinner—was held in honor of Chef Marcus Samuelsson and the beverage industry’s Jim Clerkin at the Loews Hotel Miami Beach. Hosts Andrew Zimmern and Melba Wilson guided guests through the vibrant meal, which paid homage to the late Leah Chase—the legendary chef known as
the Queen of Creole Cuisine from New Orleans. The menu was designed by revered chefs who celebrated the guests of honor, including Daniel Boulud, Michelle Bernstein, Scott Conant, Frederic Delaire and Edouardo Jordan. Highlights of the evening included a Live Auction with covetable travel and dining experiences. Proceeds benefited the Southern Wine & Spirits Beverage Management Center at the FIU Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, with the expansion of the Chip Cassidy Endowment Fund. WILLIAMS FAMILY KITCHEN SOUL FOOD BRUNCH AT SWAN Pharrell and Pharaoh Williams hosted the inaugural Williams Family Kitchen Soul Food Brunch at Pharrell and David Grutman’s Miami Design District restaurant, Swan. Joining the group was a star-studded list of attendees including DJ Khaled along with Nicole Tuck and Asahd Khaled; Aaron

Paul and Bryan Cranston; Foodgöd and many more guests. The menu included Williams family favorites for guests to experience, paired with cocktails from Belvedere Vodka and Moët & Chandon Champagne. HEINEKEN BURGER BASH HOSTED BY RACHAEL RAY Each year, the Heineken Burger Bash is one of the Festival’s most popular events, and this year was no different. Hosted by Rachael Ray and presented by Schweid & Sons, the event featured an esteemed panel of judges who got to taste and choose the best burgers from over 40 participating chefs from around the country. Ray handed out three winning prizes—the Heineken Light People’s Choice Award to celebrity chef Alex Guarnaschelli’s Butter in New York; Red Robin’s Best of the Bash to Hugh-Baby’s BBQ & Burger Shop in Nashville, Tenn.; and finally, the Schweid & Sons’ Very Best Burger award to Weston’s Kewpee Hamburgers from Lansing, Mich. ’S BEST OF THE BEST AT FONTAINEBLEAU MIAMI BEACH One of the Festival’s most coveted events—Wine Spectator’s Best of the Best—returned to the iconic Fontainebleau Hotel on Friday night, inviting hundreds of guests to come try 60 of the nation’s top chefs’ gourmet samplings, paired with over 100 wines rated 90 points or higher on the Wine Spectator scale. Guests flooded the massive ballroom, sampling from revered restaurants as they enjoyed live music and special activities like the Wine Wall raffle, where they got the opportunity to take the Best of the Best into their own hands.
COCA-COLA BEACHSIDE BBQ WITH GUY FIERI Famed TV personality and chef Guy Fieri hosted his annual Coca-Cola Beachside BBQ on Saturday night, inviting more than 30 chefs that he handselected to serve up their best barbecue cuisine, from sliders to ribs, hot dogs and more. Guests danced on the sand to live country music, sipped on specialty cocktails and wines and enjoyed a Guy Fieri-approved party all night long. BARILLA’S ITALIAN BITES ON THE BEACH Giada De Laurentiis and Dario Cecchini returned to the sands of Miami to kick off the week on Thursday with Barilla’s Italian Bites on the Beach. Here, festival-goers got to sample the best of Italian cuisine from 30 chefs stemming from all over the nation, indulging in tastes from Tuscany, Sardinia, Campania, Sicily and more. CHEFS DARIO CECCHINI, EYAL SHANI AND FABIO VACCARELLA’S PRIVATE DINNER AT THE CONTINUUM The world’s most famous butcher, Dario Cecchini, joined forces with Executive Chef Fabio Vaccarella from The Patio at the Continuum in Miami Beach, as well as “The Cauliflower King” and the man credited with redefining Israeli street food, Eyal Shani. Together, they produced an extravagant three-course menu for Continuum residents and invited guests on Friday night at The Patio restaurant within the luxury beachfront residences. The inaugural event at the Continuum formed part of the official Intimate Dinner Series during this year’s South Beach Wine & Food Festival. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 23

CAPPING IT ALL OFF
Luxury House Louis Vuitton is the mastermind behind one of the most iconic handbag shapes of all time, born in July 2013 and quickly becoming a signature style: the Capucines. For this upcoming summer season, the House has reimagined the classic bag with additions like vibrant colors—Dragon Fruit and Chartreuse—monochrome animation with tone-on-tone hardwares, an ayers version with pastel coloring, and even an iteration with a statement plexiglass top handle, perfect for warm weather wear. As we look forward to a summer with brighter days ahead, we know the “it” bag we’ll want by our side.

HOME BASE
As millions of people have shifted to working from home in just the past couple of months due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, having a comfortable and functional home office is arguably more important than ever. Get inspired to design your home office like the experts do it.

1. JOE HUMAN, DESIGNS BY HUMAN: I wanted to frame the view of the city and incorporate several masculine materials, one of which is a leather wall with hand-stitched details. The desk itself is a granite that I specifically sourced out to be “soft” to the touch but also durable when it comes to ink and pencil writing; 2. CHRIS GODDARD, GODDARD DESIGN GROUP: I chose a rich, deep color palette paired with custom lime-washed and coursed oak paneling to create a cozy English vibe. The room is adorned with a trove of antiques, most notably the partner’s desk, huntsman-styled inkwell, double-horned candelabra, brass bar cart, and vintage decanters and trophies; 3. CARI GIANNOULIAS, CARI GIANNOULIAS DESIGN: This home office was created for an advertising executive to compose some very memorable campaigns while pursuing his other passion for music. We thoughtfully gave this room a monochromatic canvas to house his collection of pedigreed and unattributed vintage guitars; 4. MCKINLAY ROSE INTERIORS: Custom built-in shelves and cabinets include a maple wall unit designed by McKinlay Rose Interiors and built by a local woodworker. The unique hand-painted glass tile backsplash adds depth and character to the back wall. Upholstered furnishings are draped with high-end textile tone on tone fabrics. 48 HAUTE LIVING hauteresidence.com

5. ALICE MCCAFFREY, ANGUS|MCCAFFREY INTERIOR DESIGN: Enter into this sophisticated man’s study and one can’t help but be struck immediately by the strength of Ellsworth Kelly’s Dark Green Panel. The print takes center stage amidst custom built-in cabinetry punctuated by linear polished nickel hardware and accents. The man’s study balances dark handsome walls with glints of polished nickel and chrome; 6. GISELLE LOOR-SUGERMAN, B+G DESIGN:This particular space was designed for a client with the intention of providing a home office feel along with all of the perks that come with an entertainment area. We incorporated a segmented home office that has open access to billiards, state of the art media system, and beyond; 7. JACK OVADIA, OVADIA DESIGN GROUP: The lush sophisticated wood walls play as a backdrop to the room with built-in bookcases. The furniture was selected and orchestrated to be a sitting area, for intimate meetings, or just to hang out and relax; 8. GABRIELLE AKER, OH BEAUTY INTERIORS; In this home office, located in Downtown LA, we wanted to create a space that sparked creativity, brought nature in, and honored the industrial architecture of the warehouse in which it resides. @hauteresidence HAUTE LIVING 49

branded KITCHEN
G&G BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS ANNOUNCED THE ADDITION
of luxury kitchen amenities available in Aston Martin Residences, the currently under-construction, 66-story curvilinear glass and steel residential building in the heart of downtown Miami. Two of the finest manufacturers of kitchen appliances and cabinetry were selected to accompany the residences. The latest Gaggenau appliances and Bulthaup cabinets will be part of each unit’s kitchen, allowing residents to enjoy the cooking process with family and friends in style, while admiring panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami River, and South Florida’s signature skyline. “The Aston Martin Residences Kitchen further harnesses the expression of Aston Martin’s design DNA and architectural excellence,” said German Coto, CEO of G&G Business Developments. “Gastronomy will play an important part of the family living experience at Aston Martin Residences, whereby the kitchen often forms the soul of the home for loved ones and friends who come together socially and culturally to share their passion for food. A shrouding of radiance, purity and warmth ensures the kitchen environment is both intimate 50 HAUTE LIVING hauteresidence.com
and inviting for both casual cooks and the most seasoned gourmand, who can enjoy today’s top-of-the-line appliances and amenities with relaxing confidence. The Aston Martin Residences Kitchen pays homage to the Art of Living and our commitment to its indelible imprint of impeccable design.” The white cabinets will reflect the natural light pouring through the floor to ceiling windows, aided by the White Thassos marble floors imported from Greece. The granite island countertop is enclosed in white wood and contrasts perfectly against the cabinets and floor. The large stovetop cooking area includes a state-of-the-art Burner Induction Cooktop and vent. And the chrome oven and spacious wine cooler fridge appliances match with the metal tap faucet and large sink builtin to the stone island. The design of the Aston Martin Residences Kitchen brings together a balance between the tropical South Florida outdoor climate and the warm indoor kitchen space. Upon completion, scheduled for 2022, Aston Martin Residences will be a standing manifestation of the Art of Living philosophy, driving the brand from the roads of Great Britain to Biscayne Boulevard.

ONE THOUSAND MUSEUM BY ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS IS WELCOMING NONE OTHER
than superstar athlete, entrepreneur and global icon David Beckham as its latest homeowner. Beckham Brand Limited, the partnership and licensing company owned by the soccer star and co-owner of Inter Miami CF—the newest Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise—recently purchased a full-floor penthouse residence in the 62-story residential tower. A spokesperson for Beckham said, “With the launch of Inter Miami CF, David and his team are spending significant amounts of time in Miami. One Thousand Museum is a very special building and we are excited to join the community there.” The exoskeleton-shaped building by the London-based firm that adorns the Miami skyline like no other, officially opened in August of last year as one of the most anticipated developments in the world. It has top amenities that Beckham will surely enjoy, including an indoor-outdoor wellness center with state-of-the-art equipment by TechnoGym, yoga facilities, a spa with relaxation pods, and private rooms for spa services. The Aquatic Center on the 61st floor also features an indoor, infinity-edge lap pool. One Thousand Museum’s Sky Lounge has ample space for private events and fine dining by the building’s culinary team. The building has a dedicated Curator of Hospitality to attend after residents’ needs both on and offsite. The building’s private rooftop helipad marks One Thousand Museum’s status as the only residential building in Miami with this incredibly luxurious (and convenient) feature. It also partnered with Forbes Travel Guide to achieve lifestyle experiences for homeowners on par with the world’s finest hotels—the first in the world to do so. Daniel De La Vega’s ONE Sotheby’s International Realty Development Division is One Thousand Museum’s exclusive listing agency. ONE Sotheby’s agent Robert Hite brokered the deal as well. @hauteresidence HAUTE LIVING 51

The downtown area is booming.” Phil Gutman, President of Brown Harris Miami “The upper part of the market has been doing well; the middle not so much.” Steven Solomon, Senior Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman Real Estate “In Boca Raton and Delray Beach, the market is very good. There are many buyers in the market. It’s an active season for the $1-3 million range.”
(Top) International Power Brokers Panel, left to right: Sue Nickason, Ben Bacal, Dolly Lenz, Jenny Lenz, Mary Ann Osborn, Richard Steinberg, Cody Vichinsky, Olivia Hsu Decker, Jay Parker, Michael Goldstein (Bottom) Miami Power Brokers Panel, left to right: Phil Gutman, Lourdes Alatriste, Crista Ryan, Christian Martinez, Sebastian Tettamanti, Maria Eugenia Alvarez Vitale, Steve Solomon INTERNATIONAL POWER BROKERS PANEL Panelists: Dolly Lenz and Jenny Lenz, Dolly Lenz Real Estate CEO/Founder and Managing Editor of Dolly Lenz Real Estate. “Know what’s going on in politics and in business, where the pitfalls are, so you can share that with them. I think that’s key.” Cody Vichinsky, Founding Partner at Bespoke Real Estate “We look at the market very focused in the high luxury properties. We have no independent agents, so our model is entirely different from a conventional brokerage business. It’s more dynamic.” Oliva Hsu Decker, Co-owner of Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty “Our business is a a people business.” Jay Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida Brokerage “You look at luxury (real estate) in other cities compared to Miami and you find that our price points (in Miami) are pretty attractive.” Michael Goldstein, President of The Trump Group “75% of our business is coming from New York.”
Ben Bacal, Creator of Rila app “Since 2017-2018, properties in Hillcrest have gone down in price to where they need to be. We see an uptick in international buyers. I want to teach my agents to be powerhouses in each of their market and become power agents in those areas.” Richard Steinberg, Douglas Elliman Real Estate Head of Richard Steinberg Team at Douglas Elliman Real Estate “Every seller thinks they charge too little. Every buyer thinks they pay too much. But they buy it because they want it. My advice to brokers is to go for the big stuff because it’s much harder to sell the small stuff.”
Crista Ryan, President of Tina Fanjul Associates On what drives people to South Florida, “The quality of life. I grew up walking New York’s streets, hearing taxis screech on the road. Here, it’s more laid back, but we have a lot of companies’ headquarters in the area.” Christian Martinez, Regional Vice President of Florida at Compass “Higher listings take longer, but we see them moving. It also depends on the market. Certainly in Miami, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove have an active market. Overall, New York money continues to flow into Broward and Palm Beach counties.” Sebastian Tettamanti, Senior Vice President of Dezer Development “The rental market is very active. The buyer is taking a bit longer. Now that there is so much product, agents take clients to more locations. However, the product is moving and we are making sales.” Lourdes Alatriste, Partner and Private Office Advisor of Engel & Völkers Miami “At that level of luxury properties, you should know who they are,” [on researching potential buyers for proof of funds.]
The day also featured a presentation by Eric Fessler, the Jumbo Loan King, an expert entrepreneur with over 30 years of mortgage banking experience who has closed over $10 billion in transactions.

Haute Time sits down with Hublot Global CEO Ricardo Guadalupe who shares his insight on what makes the brand such a success, even in a challenging market. BY MARTIN GREEN
HT: And as CEO of Hublot, what do you consider the most challenging part of your job? RG: To build a really integrated manufacture is the most challenging part at Hublot. It is not easy to create your own movement, like the Unico movement, or to have your own materials, like the colored ceramics and the sapphire, and create them all up to a certain standard. The quality is, of course, essential. If we produce a movement that stops or has issues in precision, that can be a big issue. These are really the challenges that you face with having a manufacture. We’re growing and growing 64 HAUTE LIVING hautetime.com
in verticalization. Today we’re at 30% watches with our own movement, tomorrow we’re going to be at 70%, and it’s a huge challenge to be able to reach that objective. HT: So, that’s also your goal? 70% own movements? RG: Yes, but, of course, it cannot be from one day to another. So now we are planning to build a third building to be able to do so; not to increase our quantity of watches, but also quantities of our integrated in-house movements. On the material side, like with the ceramics, and the sapphire, you deal with sophisticated processes that require a lot of technology as well. HT: You can work on innovation, but you can never really predict when it’s going to be available, and when it’s good enough to produce it in larger quantities. How do you manage that innovation? RG: We invest a lot in research and development. We have like a hundred projects currently going on in research and development. Some are on materials, some others are on the movements, but we also have projects focusing on design. As we always have new projects, at a certain point, projects are ready every year more or less so we can plan to introduce them as novelties. I sometimes also have to decide unfortunately to stop certain projects because it becomes clear that they are not feasible. Sometimes you cannot industrialize the concept, or you cannot do it at the right cost or get the right quality. It’s a continuing process of innovation in those different segments that I just mentioned. We work a lot with colored ceramics. We have come up with a red ceramic, which took us five years to develop. So there are always a lot of projects going on, and although some can be postponed, innovation is very key to the success of the brand.

HAUTE TIME: Hublot is a brand that really excels in its partnerships. What are the keys to success in that? RICARDO GUADALUPE: It’s really about choosing a partnership that has not been explored by other brands. The idea is to always be the first to be unique or different in our partnerships. Football, or soccer, is a good example as we have been the first luxury watch brand to enter this sport in 2008, and this has allowed us to have incredible brand awareness. This is thanks to the World Cup, but also the Euro Cup and the Champion League. With Ferrari, we have tried to do [this partnership] differently, because other brands have done partnerships with Ferrari before, but we decided to do it in a different way. Now we’ve been with Ferrari eight years, and we have proven that you can have a successful partnership with a watch brand and Ferrari. I think we have been one of the first, if not the first, to explore art. Not only sculpture art with Richard Orlinski, but also tattoo art. We are trying to go into golf, though in this sport, we are not the first brand to do it, but we have tried to do it in a different way. The fact is that we’re always applying this philosophy to have a different approach. A disruptive approach has allowed us to be different in our partnerships.

HT: With some innovations, Hublot is so good that other brands just give up on them, like the sapphire cases. Other brands tried it, but once Hublot released its colors, we don’t see many other brands with sapphire watches anymore... RG: Yeah, it’s really difficult. It’s a big investment, so you have to be a brand with a certain financial power because we are talking about millions of investments. If you are a brand that sells $20 million of watches a year, to invest two-to-three million is impossible. We know that from when we started with Hublot because we were doing $25 million in 2004. To develop a movement even at that time, we couldn’t do it, because it was too much of an investment. So, it’s step-by-step; that’s why building the manufacture is so important. With sapphire, we decided to really take the risk, invest the necessary amounts in improving the manufacturing process and be able to produce not one watch or 10 watches, or 20 watches, but hundreds of watches with sapphire cases. HT: You’re only the third CEO of Hublot in the past 40 years, correct? RG: That’s a good question. In the 24 years before Mr. (Jean-Claude) Biver, I think it was only Carlo Crocco, the founder of the brand. I think so, yeah. That’s it, I had never thought about it like this, so that’s good. HT: You have been a key player with Hublot for so many years now, what is your favorite part in Hublot history? RG: The creation of the Big Bang. You know, that was really an incredible challenge and an incredible achievement. Also, the brand was more or less sleeping when Jean-Claude Biver and I got on board to bring it to new heights, and to sell it to LVMH in 2008 only four years later; that was an incredible achievement. I would say, as an experience, a professional experience, it was also very interesting and motivating.

Haute Time sits down with CEO of Zenith Julien Tornare, who discusses those special watch movements, how the brand finds harmony between classic and modern creations, and whether or not Zenith has reached its zenith. BY MARTIN GREEN
HT: Zenith has an incredible history, represented by some amazing revival pieces in the collection, but also modern creations such as the Defy 21. How do you balance these dual aspects in your overall lineup? JT: For me, that is very easy. In my 23 years in the watch industry, I have always been surprised by the fact that it’s been segmented into two categories. There were watch brands with a long history, very scared of doing something else than [what] they have been doing. They say you have to respect the past. Then you have other brands, with either a very short history or no history at all; they started from scratch, and they can do everything, all the craziness, and all the extreme creativity. For me, one doesn’t go against the other. We have a long history, a great heritage of 155 years. We are very authentic. We are one of the last few brands where you don’t need to wonder if it has a Zenith movement inside. We are so lucky to have this heritage and history, and we are a real manufacture. But, it is not because you have that heritage and are a manufacture that you need to be boring and … repeat the past. I want to do new things, to test and try new things, as the people did in the past. A year and a half ago, I was preparing the anniversary of El Primero, and I had an idea. It was going to be 50 years, which is a long time, but not that long. I managed to find eight people who worked on the El Primero, and I took them for lunch. The youngest one was born in 1945, and the oldest in 1939. It was a great moment for me. First of all, they told me many inside stories that nobody knew. Also,

HAUTE TIME: What needs to be done to utilize the full potential of Zenith? JULIEN TORNARE: There has been a lot of things done in the last few years, but I would say, first, it was to rationalize different things: distribution, number of SKUs, marketing activities, and partnerships. So, [there were] many topics that we needed to turn around to be where we are now. When I arrived, the Elite collection didn’t have the right design, and with the Chronomaster, there were too many different models. It took me a while to redesign the Classic. It is now refined and elegant, and that is what you go for with Classic watches. With Chronomaster, you will see more at Baselworld. We also go back to something very close to the original Chronomaster. Together with Elite, these are not the lines where we can go crazy. We have to stick to what we do well and continue to do it properly, with a perfect design. Fortunately, I launched Defy two years ago, which has been such a success and such a growth engine. This is the right line to do limited editions, bigger sizes, colors, different things. I can have fun in Defy, for sure. We have also been working on other aspects. When I came on board two and a half years ago, there was no digital knowledge or specialized people in the company, and very little presence on social media. We immediately changed this and started from scratch in so many fields that were abandoned. So, you can only do better as you have so many leverages.

they told me how much innovation and creativity were used. The word ‘start-up’ didn’t exist back then, but it was a ‘Zenith start-up’ spirit that they had in the ‘60s when they made the El Primero, which was totally new. Nobody believed it would work, and everybody told them not to do it. They went for it, and they reached their star because of creativity. I have two choices, I will repeat what has been done, or I will try to make history and create new things. I actually think that it is our mission to do so. Talking to these gentlemen, now in their 80s, you would think that they would be a bit conservative, but they pushed me and told me to bring new things. HT: In the past, you have delivered movements to other brands, even outside the LVMH group. Is that something you aspire to do again? JT: No, because we are not a movement manufacture. We could have taken this direction, but we are a brand. This is what we are doing now: we are building and reinforcing the Zenith brand. It is clear that we have strong expertise in manufacturing movements, so we benefit from it. First of all, [we benefit] ourselves, and then for some sister-brands from the group; that’s not a secret, but that’s it. I have had quite a few requests from external brands to buy El Primero and Elite movements, but we said no to that. HT: What is the legacy that you want to leave behind as CEO of Zenith? JT: When I came on board, the brand was in a tough situation. I needed to bring the brand back on track. When I say back on track, it is not like it is done many times in the past. A new CEO is coming; for one year, he cleans up and says that everything that was done before was wrong. Then, he starts to do his own thing, and starts to push the markets, with a focus on selling, selling, selling, and a little sell-out sometimes, and then he gives the key to the next one, and that person has a bad situation. My job is to bring the brand back where it should be, meaning that we should double, triple our performance of today. We have the potential for that, but in a clean way. What I like people to remember is that I brought back the original DNA of the brand. We have been super dynamic and super creative since the first day. When I came on board, Mr. Jean-Claude Biver himself told me that Zenith is a sleeping beauty and that my job is to wake up the beauty. HT: Do you consider Zenith to have reached its own zenith? JT: That’s an excellent question, but no, we are not there yet. The zenith will always be something that we are going for. I would say that if you stop climbing when you get close to the summit, you have to continue climbing. Our zenith will always be the sky, and we will have to go for it continually. It is a never-ending story, as we have so much to do with the brand. When I joined it, I believed that the potential was huge. The sky is the limit, but where in the sky, I don’t know yet.

THE +DESIGNING PERFECT STAY A haute guide to the best design hotels in the world. BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
SOMETIMES, A HOTEL IS JUST A HOTEL, A PLACE TO REST YOUR HEAD AND LEAVE.
But there are also times that travelers want something more from their stay, something special. We think these newly opened, design-focused hotels have that ‘It’ factor. From a floating hotel in Swedish Lapland to the late Zaha Hadid’s $1.1 billion behemoth in Macau, here are nine properties whose designs really blow our minds. * This piece was written and produced prior to the COVID-19 crisis.
ANANTARA TOZEUR RESORT FOR THOSE SEEKING A SLEEK, CHIC EXPERIENCE IN
the Sahara Desert, head to Anantara Tozeur Resort Southwest of Tunisia for a luxury gateway to ancient cultural and desert wonders. With its Moorish architecture, Berber patterns and North African furnishings—including the inlaid timber screens and traditional fret-cut lighting and artwork found in all 93 rooms and five dining outlets, not to mention a veranda that looks out over the resort’s meandering swimming pools with the jaw-dropping backdrop of the Chott el Djerid salt flats—its aesthetic fully embodies its arid location. Embrace the resort’s aesthetic even further with a high-end moveable feast courtesy of Dining by Design, Anantara’s signature private dining concept. Enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner on the terrace of a private residence in Tozeur town or even a secluded barbecue in a Berber tent amidst the whispering sands of the Sahara. The resort also puts travelers in touch with local culture and history by offering tailored excursions to Tozeur’s Medina. Trek through the expansive desert scenery with a professional driver on a guided quad bike adventure to Chott el Djerid, the largest salt lake in the Sahara Desert; go camel trekking, stopping for mint tea and dates; and even immerse yourself in a Star Wars adventure, given that Tozeur is home to numerous scenes from the original trilogy and prequels, with special programs available for guests to explore a galaxy far, far away. Essentially, they’re designing your personal fantasy. Mrah Lahwar 2200, Tozeur, Tunisia

and Andalusian architectural styles used in the grand palaces of the 14th century Marinid Dynasty. Architect Patrick Collier also took inspiration from the iconic Medersa Ben Youssef, one of Marrakech’s most famous historic monuments. The main building of the property is geometrically laid out like an Andalusian royal residence, with design elements such as hand-carved woodwork, domes and archways, zellige mosaic wall tiles and grand panels of sculpted plasterwork fashioned with Arabic phrases like ‘El Afia El Bakia’ (Eternal Health). Walls with latticework grilles and double-arched windows highlight light-filled spaces, which serve to showcase the breathtaking views of ancient olive groves and the Atlas Mountains beyond; there are also gardens of plants, succulents, Mediterranean cypress trees and citrus orchards on site. The highlight of this 84-room hotel is hard to miss: Its central courtyard is home to a grand black basin, upon which a flame appears. At night, the firelight seems to dance, lending the hotel a mystical, magical quality.

MORPHEUS DESIGNED BY THE LATE DAME ZAHA HADID, THE FIRST FEMALE TO BE AWARDED THE PRESTIGIOUS PRITZKER ARCHITECTURE PRIZE, MORPHEUS
is an architectural marvel. The $1.1 billion project, located at City of Dreams Macau, is the world’s first free-form, exoskeleton-bound, high-rise architectural composition, and incorporates a number of architectural and technological breakthroughs. It’s a behemoth of a project, using four times the amount of wrought iron used on the Eiffel Tower, enough aluminum cladding to make more than nine million soda cans and a 115-foot-high atrium lobby, which is tall enough for a double Ferris wheel. There are 770 guest rooms, suites and villas, all designed by Peter Remedios, one of the world’s top interior decorators; a gravity-defying pool located 40 stories above the city; 12 high-speed panoramic elevators; amazing art like “Good Intentions” by KAWS on display; fine dining from Alain Ducasse as well as Pierre Hermé, who was named the World’s Best Pastry Chef by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and three-Michelin-star chef Alain Ducasse; and, at its spa, a number of world-firsts, including an in-house Spa Butler concept, a Snow Garden installation and a one-of-a-kind treatment in its platinum mask treatment courtesy of the world-renowned skincare brand Margy’s Monte Carlo. In-room, luxuries like Rivolta and Mühldorfer bed linens, Bernardaud chinaware, Hermès and Acqua di Parma toiletries and Dyson hair dryers are found throughout. Morpheus, City of Dreams

AMARA “AMARA” IS DERIVED FROM THE ANCIENT GREEK WORD “AMARANTOS,” MEANING EVERLASTING, AND THAT WAS THE CONCEPT
SB Architects went for when creating this five-star property on the sun-soaked Greek island of Cyprus. Giving guests endless slices of sea and sky with unobstructed views was the intention here, at what is the first hotel to be constructed, ground-up, on the Limassol seafront in almost two decades. The style is distinctly Mediterranean; public spaces such as the lobby were modeled after a residentially scaled “Iliakos,” or enclosed veranda common to traditional Cypriot architecture. And while the design team—which also includes The Rockwell Group—managed to preserve and celebrate the history that existed when the hotel site was the ancient village of Amathus (the speculated birthplace of Aphrodite) including protecting age-old olive trees that dot the property, it is also distinctly modern, offering every amenity a guest could request, and then some. In addition to a rooftop bar, which offers totally unobstructed views of the sea, the property features 207 exquisitely designed guest rooms, many of which have personal cascading plunge pools, and Michelin-star featured restaurants from Nobu Matsuhisa and Giorgio Locatelli. 5 Amathus Avenue, Agios Tychon 4533, Cyprus

A metal chain/mesh curtain in the hotel’s atrium adds an iconic architectural element, inspired by the Sankt Bartholomäus Kirche (St. Bartholomew’s Church) in Cologne, Germany. Hanging at its center is a spectacular piece of architectural artwork, featuring a moonlight—“The Moon” by Sabine Marcelis—that is 14 feet in diameter, composed of an internal structure with LED lighting panels. The moonlight has multiple dimming settings ranging from bright warm to dim cool and is programmed to time of day and day of year by an astronomical timeclock as part of the Lutron dimming system. Meanwhile, the Houston-based Rottet Studio designed the interiors with minimalism in mind, using natural materials like linen drapes, white marble, dark bronze and natural oak throughout. This haute hotel also features a contemporary art collection inspired by the Washington Color School movement, curated by consulting firm Tatar Art Projects, and Estuary, a restaurant courtesy of James Beard Award winners Bryan and Michael Voltaggio. 950 New York Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001

Consulate on Rue de Lille, perfectly placed in the 7th arrondissement between the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Seine. For its first luxury hotel outside of Italy, the brand enlisted its favorite designer, Michele Bonan, to curate its gorgeous, 29-room property with bespoke Italian furniture and objets d’art, as well as antique gems sourced from famous Paris flea markets like the Marché aux Puces, including a midcentury Hermès desk lamp and a smoky mirrored console “in the spirit of David Hicks.” The vast bathrooms feature oversized chrome showers, mother-of-pearl inlay cabinets, sitting areas with stacks of coffee-table books and artfully rusted, low-slung metal armchairs. No two rooms are the same at this boutique property, which also features a Sisley Spa, an indoor pool and the first Casa Tua venture outside of Miami and Aspen. 82 Rue De Lille, 75007 Paris, France

Each tent has its own personality and name—Butterfly, Birders, Elephant and, intriguingly, a tent dedicated to its conservation efforts with the Shinta Mani Foundation, which is perched on a boulder that disappears completely Bill Bensley is the mastermind behind Shinta Mani Wild, a remote hotel in Cambodia’s Cardamom National Park whose aesthetic is inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ 1967 trip to the country.

ARCTIC BATH
TRAVEL
ARCHITECTS BERTIL HARSTRÖM AND JOHAN KAUPPI ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ONE OF THE COOLEST HOTELS (LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY) TO
open this year. Arctic Bath, a design-focused hotel in Swedish Lapland, appears to float. And if it appears that way, it’s because it actually does. Though the property will be frozen on the Lule river in winter, come summertime, it will float downstream from the bridges of Bodträskfors. Though there are only 12 rooms at this intimate property, each has been designed by Bertil Harström, Johan Kauppi or AnnKathrin Lundqvist to enhance and celebrate its environment. The surrounding landscape merges with said cabins, which use sustainable materials such as wood, stone and leather; the larger six boast glass walls, affording crystal-clear views of the Northern Lights, should they come out to play. Predominantly Swedish design brands are featured throughout: ateljé Lyktan has produced bespoke lighting called Kvast for the hotel; lounge furniture has been supplied by Karl Andersson och Söner, Stolab and Swedese; and beds are by Carpe Diem. And at the hotel’s circular heart—which appears to be inspired by Winterfell or Middle Earth—is a giant ice bath, ringed with three saunas, a spa treatment room and hot baths, inspired by the timber-floating era when felled trees were transported downriver for processing. Literally, nowhere else on earth will you find a hotel hub that’s meant to embody a log jam.

THE PRESTIGE HOTEL PENANG THERE’S SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT MALAYSIA’S PRESTIGE
Hotel, which takes its design cues from Christian Bale’s The Prestige, a film which, fittingly, revolves around a Victorian-era magician. KL Wong Architect Sdn Bhd considered the colonial Victorian heritage of the Georgetown property, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and used visual trickery as well as notions of magic and illusions with the end goal of creating a totally unique hotel. Needless to say, it was a success: Some of the spaces appear to levitate, while others seem to disappear; a custom reception desk seems to magically balance on balls, while hidden doors in guest rooms open to reveal toilets and pantries. In said rooms, a key feature is a custom shower PHOTO COURTESY OF THE PRESTIGE HOTEL PENANG
and wardrobe enclosure crafted of champagne bronze-tinted metal and glass; a hero piece that takes aesthetic cues from the elaborate magic props used in performances such as Houdini’s escape box. Another custom piece is the vanity mirror frame. Abstracted from Victorian mirrors (usually heavy and elaborate) and modernized with its angular form, polished brass and integrated light, this feature plays on optical illusions and perceptions, appearing as two mirrors but floating as a frame on top of a horizontal mirror wall. The hotel, which features 162 guest rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop infinity pool, events pavilion (named after lead characters in The Prestige film, no less) and terrace, and a vibrant Victorian dining and retail arcade, is a visual experience that can’t be missed. 8, Gat Lebuh Gereja, George Town, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysias
The Prestige Hotel Penang is a study in optical illusions, so it isn’t surprising that it took its architectural inspiration from Christian Bale’s Victorian-era magic movie, The Prestige.

+FASTER THAN A SPEEDING
Haute ROLLS-ROYCE HAS LAUNCHED THE FIRST COLLECTION CAR OF THE
2020s, the Dawn Silver Bullet Collection, of which there are only 50 worldwide. The car’s design reaches back a century to take inspiration of decadence and stylish machines, and shoots back to present-day roads like the silver bullet in its name. Strong and tailored to join the special Rolls-Royce Collection Car family, the open-top Dawn Silver Bullet Collection is made for drivers seeking the total package of brand, design, performance and dynamics found in RollsRoyce vehicles. The car joins other members of Rolls-Royce’s lineup in using silver, including the Silver Dawn, Silver King, Silver Silence and Silver Spectre. With a bespoke paint finish, the new car shines and stands out on the road, and will surely be the highlight of so many driveways and destinations across the globe in the near future, where its exclusive and limited amount of owners will travel.
AUTO
The Aero Cowling, with its silver center spine transferring the bodywork into the cabin, is the champion of the Collection. It has a vaporblasted titanium finisher, and roars through the streets proudly displaying the Silver Bullet name. Dark headlights and a new dark front bumper finisher impose presence on the car in contrast to the silver tone of the silhouette. Partpolished wheels have a translucent shadow finish with a silver pinstripe. The modern materials and craftsmanship on the inside of the Dawn Silver Bullet Collection include a fashionable open-pore carbon fiber fascia. The quilted transmission tunnel, inspired by the leather jacket, details the center of the cabin. Rolls-Royce is already planning to curate a special series of “Silver Bullet Drives”, road trips for owners of this Collection. It will be available through Whispers, the exclusive, digital home of Rolls-Royce clients. CO2 emission: 381-372 g/km; Fuel consumption: 16.7-17.1 mpg / 16.9-16.5 l/100km

These include a NASA-developed SuperFabric, leathers and even cashmere—the first supercar to ever do so. The addition of cashmere marks one of the most exclusive features offered by McLaren Special Operations—MSO—while the brand’s latest release, the new McLaren GT, is the first car to boast the fabric on its seats and other areas of the interior cabin. Additionally, the GT’s luggage bay at the back of the car touts SuperFabric trims, what the brand calls “an innovative woven fabric that is infused with a layer of tiny armored guard plates providing increased resistance to stains, cuts, nicks and abrasions.” The GT’s base model is offered with Nappa leather interiors, though softgrain luxury leather or Alcantara are also offered as upgrades.

After, VIPs made their way to the hotel’s popular DAER nightclub, which hosted the special “100 Package,” where ticket-holders were treated to a special presentation presented by LOUIS XIII honoring Ray Lewis and the legends. Jamie Foxx kicked off the excitement for the after party as he took the stage and got the crowd going with a performance, hyping them up for the live auction.

This went into effect on March 17, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. However, while the hospitality industry is forced to re-strategize business models, many are offering new delivery and take out services to continue providing for the community. We encourage utilizing these services to support local businesses that will be suffering in this time. The good news is that many of the food delivery services have lowered or eliminated their fees for both restaurants and consumers, encouraging more to participate as this plays out. Here is an outline of some of our favorite spots by neighborhood where you can currently order-in through delivery or pickup throughout Miami.

A one-on-one interview with architect and artist Marcos Cojab, who goes by the name AlquimiaMC, on his artistic inspiration from Mexican culture, his recent creations and making art for some of the most renowned celebrities in the world, like Luis Fonsi. BY ANDRES E. CACERES
MARCOS COJAB, THE ARCHITECT AND ARTIST ALSO KNOWN AS ALQUIMIAMC,
began his artistic career in 2014. Using unique materials like sterling silver, 24-karat gold, copper, bronze and fiberglass, Cojab’s sculpture designs have gained attention as they have been exposed around the world in art fairs like Art Basel Miami Beach, SCOPE New York, Foire Internationale D’Art Contemporain (FIAC), ZONAMACO, and many more. He also uses niello inlays to create contrast from the other materials. Cojab’s works resonate with art collectors and worldwide celebrities like Luis Fonsi as those who have purchased his pieces. His art is heavily influenced by Mexican culture, quite evident on his use of skulls (calaveras). Here, we sit down with Cojab to discuss his projects, his inspirations and some of his most recognizable artistic themes. HAUTE LIVING: What is AlquimiaMC? What defines it? MARCOS COJAB: AlquimiaMC is my artist name, the one that started it all. This name came from the use of materials that I apply to my works, such as 24K gold, silver AND copper, among others. The letters “MC” are my initials (Marcos Cojab)—a personal and mysterious touch. HL: How does Mexican folklore and culture impact your designs? MC: It started with my passion for skulls since I was a little kid, which ended up being my first design, “The Silver Skull”. It has the Mexican characteristics of “Laughing About Death,” which is what I consider to be the message of the Día de los Muertos here in Mexico. I love the holiday; it helps me treasure life and live it to the maximum. HL: Do current events inspire your art? What’s an example? MC: Traveling is one of my great passions and it is the biggest influence in my designs. For each trip I take, I take in different cultures, forms, figures, culinary experiences, floras, faunas, and social interactions with people from around the world. I have always said that inspiration hits you when you least expect it. HL: You recently participated in the ZⓢONAMACO M Arte Contemporáneo, the largest art fair platform in Latin America. How did it feel to be in such a prominent art fair? MC: I had the good fortune to participate this year with my own space; [it was] a source of joy because I was able to expose my art piece completely. I am very happy with the results from this art fair. Also, I had a great collaboration with Technogym on one of their equipment [pieces], the “Kinesis Ants”, which received high praises from visitors.

HL: Your designs include animals like dogs, pelicans and ducks. What is the next animal to get its own art by Marcos Cojab, and why? MC: The next animal on my list is a surprise until now that I’m sharing it with you: a rat. More specifically, a rat trap with a comical and friendly theme. It is to commemorate the Chinese Year of the Rat. This piece is a special commission by an art collector that I hope to finish in the coming months. HL: Explain a bit about the concept behind “Jr. Fancy Meal.” MC: “The Fancy Meal” was designed to bring humor to a very expressive piece, a crocodile eating a young lady wearing heels. It transmits my “Laughing About Death” concept. The materials used makes for an attractive image to the viewer. The detail I like the most is the loose heel, since it’s not easy to keep your heels on when you’re getting eaten [laughs]. HL: What materials do you use in your art? Which are you planning to use in the future? MC: My main materials are glass fiber and polyester-based resin. Then, I use 24K gold, copper, and others. I have also used bronze for solo pieces, as well as other materials to get the desired look. The next material I plan to use will be crystal, for a unique piece to be exhibited at La Biennale Di Venezia during May. HL: Who are some of the artists whose work has influenced you? How and why? MC: Keith Haring, Salvador Dali, Ives Klein, Daniel Arsham, Kaws, among others. I like how they work on perception, their color, and techniques they use on their art. HL: Tell us about your passion for designing skulls—when it began, and what you hope people get from the pieces. MC: Like I said before, skulls have been my passion since an early age, whether it was a key chain, a skull sculpture, or an actual human skull during biology [class] at school. I like my skull design’s originality. It’s very [gratifying] to see collectors that have had nothing to do with skulls suddenly adding them to their collections. They say they do not know why, but they like the skulls, and that they do not get a feeling of death that other pieces of art elicit. HL: Your work has been collected by celebrities like singers Luis Fonsi and Prince Royce. Did you have a feeling that your art would reach the exposure it has had so far when you started this career? MC: To be honest, I never thought I would be devoted [myself] to art 100-percent when I started attending college to be an architect. I do admit, as an architect, I learned how to develop my mind, which led to expressing the creative side that had always been inside of me and to where I am today. HL: How have you blended your sculptures into other forms of art? MC: I have always liked furniture design and photography. I got to do a series of photos that I personally like, of a chair here and there, and tables. HL: Do you have collaborations with other artists and galleries? Who are they and what led you to join with them? MC: I love to make collaborations with other artists, since I’m always impressed by the result of mixing the pieces and techniques. Some of the names I have worked with include Olivia Steel, Harif Guzman, Artistas Huichol Mexicanos, and more. HL: How do you feel about the response that AlquimiaMC has received? MC: I am happy with the response that people have had towards AlquimiaMC and the development that the brand has had, not only in Mexico, but also abroad. Since I started a partnership earlier in 2020 with businessman German Rosete, I have been able to expand my art to places [that are] not so easy to reach.
