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

NEWLYWEDS CAROLINE WOZNIACKI AND DAVID LEE ENTER THE NEXT CHAPTER OF LIFE STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. BY PAIGE MASTRANDREA PHOTOGRAPHY SCOTT MCDERMOTT STYLING SHALA ROTHENBERG GROOMING ANGEL GABRIEL SHOT ON SITE AT THE NEW YORK EDITION
@hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 15
here are certain people in this world who are lucky enough to find their soulmate—their better half, the person who completes them and makes them better when they are together. Strong alone, but better together. While you may not believe in the concept, when you experience it first-hand, it’s hard to deny. And anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee can attest to that. Both members of this power couple—Wozniacki, the recently-retired, former No. 1 women’s tennis player in the world, and Lee, a retired NBA All-Star—have each shined in their own arenas of the professional sports and business worlds. But when interacting with them, it’s clear that there is no greater achievement to them than finding their perfect partner. The two tied the knot with a Tuscan wedding weekend straight out of a fairytale. Inviting an intimate group of family, friends and fellow athletes—including Wozniacki’s on-court rival but off-court close friend and bridesmaid, Serena Williams—Wozniacki and Lee created their picture-perfect celebration at the famed Castiglion del Bosco in Tuscany that was completely indicative of them as a couple. As we’re chatting during our photoshoot with the pair, Wozniacki is getting her hair and makeup done, while Lee is animated, recapping the weekend with a huge grin on his face and an energy that is palpable to everyone in the room who is intently listening on. He runs through how the wedding was the ideal combination of fun and romantic, with each day and night holding a special theme—the most memorable to him was on the eve of their ceremony, when they hosted rounds of Olympic-style games, inviting couples and family members to take part in fun, competitive activities and allowing the group to bond. By the end of the weekend, he shares, everyone was basically family. The concept of family is an important one for both Wozniacki and Lee. Throughout the entirety of her professional tennis career, Wozniacki’s father served as her coach and her family traveled with her around the world, supporting her journey. “I love spending time with my family, they’re amazing,” Wozniacki notes. “With my dad being my coach, I’d see him every day on the court. My parents are extremely supportive, and whatever it is that I need, they’re always the first people I call for help.” Lee echoes the same sentiments. “We maybe take it for granted sometimes, but we’re really lucky to have the family that we have. Obviously, when you marry a person, you’re marrying into their family as well. So, we’re blessed to get along with each other’s families as well as we do. I love my family, my parents and my older sister, but I spend a lot of time with Caroline’s as well and get advice from them.” 16 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

Lee has a love for family business just like Wozniacki, as he serves as the co-founder of Top Sail Reinsurance company, along with his brother-in-law and uncle. “Right now, I’m focusing all of my business energy into this company. We’re looking at around $250 million in revenue a year, so we’re off to a really good start. I’ve been lucky enough to work remotely, throughout the past few years, but now that we have more time, I’m looking forward to also picking up some new hobbies with less travel demand from our schedule.” What Lee is referring to is the momentous decision Wozniacki made earlier this year when she announced that she would be retiring from the world of professional tennis after the 2020 Australian Open. The news came as a shock to fans around the globe, but to Wozniacki, this was the perfect time for her to enter a new chapter in her life. “I’ve committed my whole life to the sport—I started playing professional tennis when I was 6 or 7 years old. I’m very competitive, so when I do something, I want to do it 100-percent and I want to be the best,” she explains. “It reached a point where I was doing it for so long and I was exhausted both physically and mentally—from going on the court and playing tournaments every week, and just not having free days—it felt right in my heart to finish at the time that I did, and sometimes you just need to listen to yourself and your body. It took a long time for me to just think about it and talk to my family and decide it was time. “And of course, David and I eventually want to start a family, so that would likely be the next step in the future. I want to enjoy spending time and basking in life just the two of us, though. Since announcing my retirement, it’s been crazy finishing up everything with my career, so now is the first time I can really breathe and take it easy for a little bit.” Since announcing her retirement, Wozniacki has been on a whirlwind of press segments and training for the Australian Open, which took place earlier this year. While she has officially retired from professional tennis, she does have one last match approaching with her friend Serena Williams. The two of them will battle it out on the tennis court in Denmark one final time. “I’m really excited for the match,” Wozniacki says. “I’m excited to play one last time. Doing it with Serena will be so awesome and playing in front of the Danish fans who have been so supportive of me for so long will be the perfect way to say farewell in front of the home crowd. It will be very special.” In addition to her upcoming match, Wozniacki still has a nice long line-up of business endeavors. Although she is stepping off the court, her partnerships with Rolex and Adidas will still continue. She has served as a Testimonee for the esteemed Swiss watch brand for more than 10 years—one of the most prestigious partnerships to attain for any athlete. “I’m also working on an exciting new awareness and empowerment campaign for women like me living with chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs). I’m very excited about this because it’s something that is close to my heart,” she says. When we last spoke to Caroline Wozniacki in 2018 for a previous cover interview, she hinted that she would love to do more in fashion in the future. Now that she actually has the time for it, we pressed for any updates regarding this potential opportunity. “Right now, I haven’t gotten a chance to look more into it. I’ve been very involved in the past with designing my own collections with Adidas, and maybe we’ll do something in the future, too. But right now, there is no official update. I think the first thing that I would like to throw myself into would probably be something with T.V. Maybe some studio stuff around sports, but maybe even something outside of sports. I think doing T.V. is a lot of fun, so that would probably be something I’m very open to exploring in the future.”
The love for T.V. may have been sparked by a recent adventure trip Lee and Wozniacki embarked on with the Discovery Network where they challenged themselves to a two-week mountain climbing trip during the height of winter. While the two mentioned that they were grateful they made it through the difficult, yet incredibly rewarding experience, they can’t reveal too much until the special premieres, which will document their journey that they took along with rest of the Wozniacki family. “While I can’t say more, all I have to say is that if anyone asks you to climb a mountain, maybe think twice—it’s not an easy thing,” Lee laughs. While Lee likes to humorously self-deprecate his athletic abilities in comparison to his incredibly talented wife, he also boasts an impressive professional sports career of his own. Prior to retiring from professional sports and switching his focus to entrepreneurial interests, Lee played for the New York Knicks from 2005-2010, receiving his first All-Star selection, followed by five years with the Golden State Warriors from 2010-2015. Here, he received his second All-Star selection and became an All-NBA Team member, winning the NBA Championship with the Warriors in 2015. He subsequently played for the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks and finally, San Antonio Spurs before officially retiring in 2017. So, it’s safe to say that between the two of them, the couple has pretty killer athletic genes that they will undoubtedly pass onto their children to come. However, while they’re both officially retired, they prefer to find neutral sports and hobbies to enjoy together. “We really enjoy working out together now that we don’t have to be working out,” Wozniacki notes. “We love to be active and get a sweat going, especially going on runs together.” “My new little ploy is to get Caroline into golf. It’s a hobby I’ve picked up and really enjoy playing, and I’m trying to get her to enjoy it with me as well,” Lee shares. “I’ve taken her out a few times and of course, she’s such an incredible athlete, that she picks it up so quickly. I think now that’ll be a new activity for us to enjoy together.” “David is stronger than me, but I am a better runner than he is, so we try to help each other rather than being competitive,” Wozniacki adds. “More like helping me!” Lee interjects with a laugh. The sweet selfdeprecation once again. “Most of the time, it’s her helping me, let’s be honest,” he maintains. “I do enjoy tennis but that’s work for her, and I love golf, but she hasn’t played as long, so we’re still looking for that mutual ground.” “We like to go out and try to get better at things we’re not as good at. And eventually, we’ll get on similar levels and that will turn into something fun we can compete in,” Wozniacki notes. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 19

Aside from their natural love of sports, they also share a love for food as self-proclaimed foodies, as well as going out to dinner with small groups of friends. They even met on a group date at Miami hot spot, Nobu, years ago, which seems to be a fitting reason to love this activity; and now close to one-year into marriage, they remain happier and stronger than ever. “Married life has been really great. We’ve remained busy with Caroline wrapping up her tennis career, but we’re finally enjoying the chance to settle down. We were really sure of each other and ourselves as a couple even when we were engaged and dating, so marriage is something we were both very excited about—and not much has changed since getting married,” Lee notes. “I agree. The only difference for me is that once you’re married, you’re officially stuck with each other,” Wozniacki says with a playful laugh. “Like, even if David does something stupid one day, at the end of the day, we chose each other and we’re in this together and we’re going to learn and have fun together and I love that.” It seems like these two have the whole marriage thing down to a science. So, what’s next for them? Aside from hinting at wanting to grow their family in the near future, of course. “This year, I’m really looking forward to getting into a new rhythm and finding traction since we’re both retired [from professional sports] now, and that’s really exciting. We can choose our schedules more than before. We’re excited to spend time together, do some traveling, and spend as much time with close friends and family as possible,” Lee says. “And relaxing a little bit,” Wozniacki adds. “Enjoying not having a crazy busy schedule and getting to unwind. For many years, we’ve been working every single day so it’s nice to be able to take a break and enjoy life and relax for a bit.” We have a feeling that this won’t last too long for the two of them. After all, they seem to excel in everything they do—especially marriage and family.

TRIP FROM HIGH KICKS TO MEAN UPPERCUTS, BOXING IS THE
top workout amongst the runway’s fittest bodies. And Adriana Lima, a globetrotting supermodel, is crediting her toned silhouette to the 5th St. Gym located in Miami Beach. The original stomping ground where Muhammad Ali learned how to punch like a pro with then owner and trainer Angelo Dundee, this garage fight house off Michigan Ct. is like watching a great movie about entering the ring with a fresh top-tier script, with actors and actresses who find themselves conquering all their fears in the final scene. But what makes this workout and its unparalleled setting so efficient and fueled with sculpting powers is its emotional benefits that prove to make every woman feel empowered. Lima, tapping into her inner source of strength behind every clinching technique of challenging one-on-ones and defensive right hooks, discovered a newfound power to achieve both mentally and physically, realizing what she was capable of and overcoming all apprehensions that she couldn’t do it. She trained her mind to never give up, and with the help of her coach and co-owner of the 5th St. Gym, Dino Spencer, Lima is determined to succeed and and inspire all women to believe in themselves too. Haute Living sat down with Lima, Spencer and Anthony Fontana of New York’s UMA (Unlimited Martial Arts) to hear more on breaking out into this no-nonsense workout, discovering inner power and the life-changing tools that boxing provides. HAUTE LIVING: Adriana, breaking out into a fresh new fitness routine with boxing and martial arts, what first inspired you to train at the 5th St. Gym? ADRIANA LIMA: I’m a big fan of boxing. I used to live in New York and I knew someone there who introduced me to the sport. I moved here and thought that I needed to find someone who I could trust and is an incredible trainer because it’s not only about the body. When you hit the gym, you also work the mind. It’s like a second therapy. So, someone recommended me to Dino. Since day one that I arrived here, I fell in love. I fell in love with the 5th St. Gym and with Dino. He’s an incredible coach. HL: Through boxing, you tapped into a newfound source of empowerment. How did Spencer help you to discover your inner power? AL: He loves doing the workout. You don’t have to say what’s going on in your life. He can tell right away. He has magic that inspires you. He knows exactly what to teach you to make you feel empowered. It’s intimidating. When I first started nine or 10 years ago, boxing wasn’t trending, especially for women. Boxing was a sport, known most of the time, for men. But I fell in love. My first day training, I wasn’t 100-percent strong, but Dino really knew how to help me discover myself and understand my power. There were many days, and there still are many days, that I don’t think I can do it. But it’s a training for your mind. You keep doing it and with repetition and inspiration, you realize at one point, ‘Look
ADRIANA LIMA DISCOVERS HER INNER POWER WITH BOXING AND MARTIAL ARTS. BY NICOLE SCHUBERT
where I am and look what I achieved.’ To me, everything is possible. In your mind, if you want to be an actress, no matter how old you are, it doesn’t matter. If you have that goal in mind, you can achieve it. Everyone is different, yes. Some will achieve faster than others. But the key is not giving up. HL: What’s your no-nonsense advice for hitting the gym when you’re in a fitness rut? Was there one time, when you were having a really bad day where getting into the ring turned it around? AL: Every day! Even the simple ones. I have children. There are days that my kids are sick all through the night and it’s not even about me. It’s just about getting out of bed. Dino will be the first to text me saying, ‘I’ll see you soon!’ HL: The 5th St. Gym was originally opened by Angelo Dundee who made a name for himself training one of the greatest sporting figures of the 20th century, Muhammad Ali. Today, catering to a vast trove of international world champions, supermodels and former NYPD officers, this Miami Beach landmark treats everyone like themselves, personalizing techniques for certain body types. How would you describe Adriana’s individual technique and style? DINO SPENCER: It’s funny because before I met her, I had someone call me and ask if I could train a model. This was 10 years ago. Just because they say the word ‘model’, you have preconceived notions. But nothing that I thought applied. She was super intense and physically strong. If you shake her hand, you can feel it. When she punched the pad, you could feel it. So, through time and experience with her, you feel what she needs. For every fighter to be themselves is important. HL: The 5th St. Gym recently partnered with New York’s UMA. In addition to traditional boxing techniques, will you be teaching combat-based exercises and self-defense practices? ANTHONY FONTANA: We touch on awareness and willingness. As you train, you become more confident in what you’re capable of doing. With the sensitivity of the drills, it heightens your awareness. So, if someone is walking behind you, you can feel it. You’ll be more alert than the average person that doesn’t train. For one, this isn’t a safe world we live in and two, you have the tools to understand how to use them and get away and see another day. HL: Boxing helps to build emotional and physical strength. Do you feel that it’s an important tool for all women to learn and have in their back pocket? DS: Every interaction we have with humans is fundamentally animalistic. You know not to go up to a wolf because the wolf might bite you. When you develop that confidence, you give off the air of confidence like a wolf, like a lion. People can smell it. So if you’re negotiating business or alone on a date, the other animal can sense what kind of animal you are. You develop true confidence in yourself when watching yourself punch so hard. You prove to yourself that you can do it. In turn, if you believe it, then everyone believes it. @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.

experts at Cantor Spine Center, have merged with Paley Orthopedic and Spine Institute to expand the comprehensive spinal-care program across South Florida with additional accepted insurance options. The Cantor Spine Institute—which includes Dr. Jeffrey B. Cantor, Dr. Jahangir “John” Asghar, and Dr. Anthony Giuffrida—has become the new Fort Lauderdale branch of Dr. Dror Paley’s renowned Paley Orthopedic and Spine Institute, based in West Palm Beach. The merger establishes a second Florida Paley location, expanding the original West Palm Beach location into Fort Lauderdale. The team is dedicated to advancing treatment options, including minimally invasive options, for patients with disorders ranging from the most simple and common to the rarest and most complex, for every age, from infants to seniors. “We can provide our patients care and expertise in a very personalized way,” Dr. Cantor said. “We are very excited to be able to serve our patients better through this dynamic union with the talented team at the Paley Institute.” The merger supports Dr. Paley’s vision to assemble a highquality group of forward-thinking physician specialists. They are equipped with the most modern technology and are using and developing minimally invasive techniques. The group is supported by highly skilled rehabilitation therapists, case
managers and orthotists. The addition of the Cantor Spine Center enables the Paley Institute to strengthen its pediatric spine program and expand the same level of care into adult spine treatment as well as adult and pediatric interventional pain management. The Cantor Spine Center team includes Jeffrey B. Cantor, M.D.— founder of The Cantor Spine Institute, Dr. Cantor specializes in minimally invasive spinal surgery; Jahangir “John” Asghar, M.D.—a pediatric and adult spinal deformity surgeon, Dr. Asghar has adopted ultrasonic, robotic and image-guided minimally invasive techniques to facilitate precision spinal deformity surgery; Anthony Giuffrida, M.D.—a physiatrist, knowledgeable in interventional pain management, whose research is dedicated to the treatment of spine and sports-related pain. The Paley Orthopedic and Spine Institute in West Palm Beach treats patients from across the globe with bone and joint conditions—from minor fractures to the most complicated limb or spine deformities. The Paley Institute is committed to raising the standard and outcome of orthopedic surgery worldwide. The internationally recognized team includes Dror Paley, MD, medical director; David Feldman, MD, associate director; Craig Robbins, MD, orthopedic surgeon; Bradley Lamm, MD, director of foot and ankle center; Christina Schilero, MD, foot and ankle surgeon; Tom Minas, MD, director of cartilage repair center; and Claire Shannon, MD, pediatric orthopedic surgeon. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 37

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

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

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

high-performance, McLaren Automotive has launched a number of innovative and high-end materials to customize and further elevate each of their speed machines, all hand-assembled at the McLaren Production Centre in England. 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.

A roundup of restaurants to support throughout COVID-19 closures in NYC, as well as those that are giving back to our frontline workers.
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD BUT PARTICULARLY IN
New York—which has become the U.S. epicenter of COVID-19—the hospitality industry has joined together to give back to those who have lost work due to restaurant closures during this time. As restaurants have been forced to shut doors, thousands of employees have been furloughed or laid off, and some small businesses are risking shutting down indefinitely. In order to keep the industry alive, many of its most prominent leaders have come together to roll out special charity initiatives to alleviate the blow, such as the James Beard Foundation Food and Beverage Industry Relief Fund, José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen and Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund among many others, as well as specific employee relief funds for each restaurant. As they try to remain in business during the nationwide quarantines and restrictions, restaurants are doing all that they can to pivot their business models and come up with creative ideas to continue to serve their customers. Global restaurant brand Cipriani has rolled out new programming that works best for bringing the brand to the home by 94 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
offering its Cipriani food products for purchase— such as the famed homemade pasta—on sale via the group’s website. Additionally, it’s launched a new series via Instagram and Facebook called #CiprianiAtHome, where they’re sharing some of their most beloved dish recipes with users to create themselves in their own kitchens. Other chefs, like 2 Michelin-Starred Daniel Boulud—who feel their product cannot be adequately and safely delivered to the home during this time without putting his employees at risk—are taking to Instagram to share at-home recipes, with videos outlining step-by-step instructions for viewers to create themselves. In addition, there are many restaurants that are operating with delivery and pickup services, with new programming to donate a portion of proceeds to charity or give back to the doctors or communities in need during this trying time for New Yorkers. And finally, it is our duty to support local and keep the restaurant industry alive, so below is a list of some of our top restaurants to indulge in pickup and delivery orders from, as they offer new menus, dishes and services.

RESTAURANTS GIVING BACK Brooklyn Chop House – The FiDi steakhouse is offering pickup and delivery from the restaurant, but most importantly, they’re giving back while they’re doing it. Brooklyn Chop House will continue offering food deliveries consisting of their most popular dishes to their neighborhood hospital—NewYorkPresbyterian—on a nightly basis for as long as their doors are open to give back to the heroes on the frontline. Since word has spread, other hospitals like Memorial Sloan Kettering, Weill Cornell Medicine, Elmhurst Hospital and Lenox Hill have also reached out, and have been coordinating with the restaurant to make meals for these workers, as well. Additionally, any first responders who come to pick up from the restaurant will receive a 20-percent discount off the meal. Sweetgreen – Sweetgreen was one of the first players in the hospitality industry to step up by utilizing their Impact Outpost program’s operations team to deliver free Sweetgreen salads and bowls to hospital workers in the New York City area since the shutdowns began. Since then, they’ve set an example for others to follow suit and give back. Loulou – This French bistro is new to the city but it already doing an exceptional job giving back as it began delivery to ICU doctors and nurses, with plans to continue as long as their doors remain open. Loulou is asking for help through donations made to the restaurant, where 100-percent of the proceeds will go to preparing and delivering meals to doctors and nurses during this time. So far, they have serviced Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and Mount Sinai, with hopes to continue to expand with more support. To donate, please visit the official GoFundMe page online. Beyond Sushi – Plant-based kosher chain Beyond Sushi delivered its first set of hospital meals on April 1st to 42 healthcare workers at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, thanks to funds raised on the
