Welcome! No matter how often I go to London, I still get

a tremendous buzz from each visit. Hopefully this is something which our regular features on the city

are able to impart as there are just so many places of interest and such a diverse choice of things to see and do.

desire The Aeroboat, one of the fastest and most elegant small yachts ever produced, has been unveiled by UK designers Claydon Reeves. Perfect for anyone wanting to breakfast in St. Tropez, lunch in Antibes and dine in Monaco, its exterior design is inspired by the World War II fighter plane, the Spitfire. Key to the design is the renowned, original Rolls-Royce Merlin engine that powers the Aeroboat. The supercharged Merlin V12 engine, with bespoke gearbox and final drive, can achieve speeds of over 50 knots – making this a refined way of travelling. The interior is based on a sports car design, with beautiful leather stitching and a wooden dashboard, while the forward seats are a shock-mounted design inspired by Spitfire landing gear. The helmsman has the use of a combination of analogue gauges for basic functions and touch-screen navigational systems, as well as a joystick throttle. Able to hold up to seven passengers comfortably, the forward cabin below deck includes a double berth and a small bathroom. The designers are planning to build a limited edition of 12 Aeroboats tailored to the personal requirements of each client, from cockpit layout and interior trim to engine specifications and exterior finishes. From £3m / €3.7m / $5.1m - £3.2m / €3.9m / $5.4m  www.claydonreeves.com 14

desire Roland Iten, creator of purposely playful, mechanically sophisticated, aesthetically elegant and tactilely sensual accessories for gentlemen, is a main sponsor of the Mille Miglia 2014 and took part himself. During the 1,000-mile, four-day rally, he piloted an historic 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A Coupé 1500 with Dutch driver Joop de Hoogh. As a tribute to this iconic Italian road race, the Swiss inventor has issued a limited edition of four high-precision R8 MKII buckles. This new collection called ‘The Driver’ consists of just four buckles, each engraved with the name of one of the main cities on the Mille Miglia 2014 route – Brescia, Padova, Roma or Bologna – making each buckle a very exclusive piece. Crafted from solid gold, steel and titanium using the same stateof-the-art machinery as used in Swiss watchmaking, ‘The Driver’ features a five-axle construction comprising over 110 components – more than many high-end mechanical wristwatch movements. These include moveable roller bearings, plates, levers and hinges, as well as a patented ‘double ardillon’ tang to ensure a super secure grip of the luxuriant leather belt strap. ‘The Driver’ buckle has two positions, tightening or loosening the belt by exactly 35mm, which is the two-thumb measurement a Savile Row tailor traditionally incorporates into a bespoke suit for added comfort. The buckle can be operated by just one hand for an instant, ergonomic and discreet adjustment. Should you need to manoeuvre to and from a low-seated sports car, 'The Driver' offers a stunning, highly technical yet elegant solution.

Food for thought The award winning design behind this ‘wow factor kitchen’ had to be practical and ergonomic. This allows the owner to socialise and interact with her family and guests whilst cooking and entertaining, making the kitchen the hub of the home. To achieve this ambitious design statement, a dividing wall was removed that separated the living room and original kitchen area, creating an impressively large room. This enabled a show-stopping chevron shaped island measuring 5.4 metres in length to sit at the heart of the design. A ceiling feature backlit with colour changing LED lights mimics the island, reinforcing the design and further morphing the two rooms into one. Featuring two large Sub Zero integrated fridge/freezers and wine storage unit, along with large Wolf oven and microwave, Miele coffee system and steam oven, and a Zip boiling, chilled water and sparking water tap, it really has everything you could wish for in a dream kitchen. £145,000 including appliances and installation  www.marazzidesign.com

An appreciation of ART

Gilbert & George Art Exhibition Since first meeting at St Martin’s School of Art, London, in 1967, Gilbert & George have lived and worked together as one single and fiercely independent artist, dedicated solely to the creation of their art. They have no allegiance to any other trend, school, movement, doctrine, theory or style of art. This major exhibition of the art of Gilbert & George includes 46 historical and more recent pictures tracing more than 40 years of creation will be shown in a presentation designed by the artists on the three floors of Villa Paloma. Coming from the collection of a family based in Monaco, it falls into a theme repeatedly addressed by the Nouveau Musee National de Monaco, that of a ‘built’ landscape, subject of analysis and interpretation for a society that constantly changes.

Camellia Interiors

Classic meets contemporary Torn between choosing a traditional or modern look for your interiors? Our design experts advise that a mix of both can work exceptionally well

16/06/2014 13:28

reating an interior that blends two distinct design styles is a challenge that calls for both ability and a hint of imagination. But get it right and the results can set your house apart from the rest. Design director Elaine Skinner from Camellia Interiors in Cornwall, South West England, is an expert at creating interiors for clients wanting a contemporary lifestyle within classic Cornish properties. Elaine says, “Colour is the first thing we notice in a room, yet the ability to put colours together is a true art. If you want to create a classic meets contemporary interior there are a few techniques that help. Start by walking around the area where you live to notice the architecture and environment in order to bring those colours in to your Elaine Skinner (right) planning more stylish interiors like those above

home. Here in Cornwall certain colours suit certain coasts: for example faded out blues and creamy whites work well in classic architectural interiors in Falmouth, with an accent colour of faded reds as in the sail cloth of the older boats. “Whereas in this property in North Cornwall, the colours I’ve selected reflect the headlands, both warm and slate greys with accents of teal from the deeper seas and ochre from the algae growing on the rocks. It's an all year round harder colour scheme from a wilder existence that perfectly compliements a contemporary home.” The first technique is to use the classic colour palette for the structural elements of the interior, such as walls, flooring and built in cabinetry. This creates a background to which the more contemporary colours can be added on furnishings and accessories which can easily be refreshed in future to perpetuate the contemporary look. The second is to furnish the interior using key principles from each design style. “Smooth, clean geometric shapes are essential for contemporary style furniture” says Elaine. “Select pieces based on these principles, then plan your layout using order, symmetry and balance, which are the fundamentals of classic design.” In the luxury interior shown here, the symmetrical furniture layout surrounding the fireplace, combined with the clean lines of the furniture and cool, limited colour palette demonstrates that classic meeting contemporary can work perfectly.

Patricia Darch designs feature innovative lighting solutions

atricia Darch has been designing interiors both in Spain and internationally for more than 30 years. During this time she and her team have experienced a huge number of changes in the world of furniture and fabrics and their work has evolved to encompass the gradual movement from classic to contemporary during this period. Based in Southern Spain, the company began with the Castillian style of Spanish furnishings both antique and factory produced, with the typical intricate carving of solid wood and wrought iron. Gradually an eclectic mix was introduced to include Moroccan carved tables and chairs and Andalucian tiled furniture. This was a distinct move away from the heavy, dark, almost gloomy, carved pieces so popular during centuries in Spain. Within a few years, the dark wood gave way to the decape look of French Provence which was eagerly adopted

by their Spanish neighbours, giving a completely fresh and light feel to interior design and a more contemporary look in general. “This was a gigantic leap forward for everyone involved in the world of design,” explains Patricia, “opening the door to innovative designs with simple, straight lines, luxurious lacquered finishes, the combination of wood and mirrored effects, perspex and glass furniture, all combining to add light and creating wide open spaces. “Lighting of course continues to be an extremely important factor in every project and the introduction of mood lighting, LEDs and Domotics have proved to be the choice in most contemporary design, making huge progress from the classic hanging lights and sconces used for so many years. Emphasis on lighting is now paramount in the world of interiors.”

The missing six Jaguar has confirmed it will build six perfect reproductions of the original, race-bred Lightweight E-type that was created in 1963, and they’ll come with official FIA papers that allow them to compete in historic events around the world. The new cars are described as the ‘missing’ six vehicles from Jaguar’s Lightweight E-type project, which originally started in February 1963 with the objective of building 18 ‘Special GT E-type Cars’. Only 12 were ever built, leaving six ‘period’ chassis numbers for lucky owners with deep enough pockets to stand what is rumoured to be a £1 million price tag. The new cars will be hand-built in-house under the auspices of the Jaguar Land Rover Individual Products Division headed by former Land Rover brand director John Edwardes. Each will be constructed to the exact specifications of their original 1960s forebears – including the 3.8-litre straight-six engine, although owners may specify colours and trim.

The Lamborghini Super Trofeo is the world’s fastest one make racing series with racing in North America, Europe and Asia. The cars are all lightweight versions of the Gallardo LP 570 as is competed by both professional and amateur drivers. A total of 43 drivers compete the European series and are aged from pace car to lead the pack round the warm up laps. The race not only brought together fans of the marque but also many owners and buyers, the Lamborghini hospitality tent was brimming with guests mixing The rain was so bad, the first race was cancelled but the sun came out as the afternoon.

extreme and certainly the loudest. However if it is loud you want, a small rear central window can be lowered to transmit all the engine sound back to the driver. This is useful for drowning out boring conversation from your passenger or irritating adverts on the radio. If planning a long journey, the strada setting mutes the engine note but not the speed. The rear view is not great but Lamborghini has installed a high definition video camera which gives a much better view than a rear mirror and the door mounted mirrors are better than on most cars. Another hazard facing most low-slung sports cars is road humps which could clip the nose, therefore the LP700 has a hydraulic lifting gear which raises the front and then lowers it when you build up the speed again. The roof is made of painted carbon fibre and comes apart in two sections which are stored in the front of the car. As the panels are very light, they do not require much muscle to remove and stow away neatly when not required. International Property & Travel

he rising number of multi-millionaires is undoubtedly having a positive effect on the world’s top end property market and London appears to be high on many of their wish lists. This is borne out by London topping Christie’s International Real Estate Index, which ranks the top luxury property markets globally, for the second year in a row. Indeed, being the real estate arm of Christie’s art house, Christie’s International believes that real estate shows a strong correlation with the top end of the fine art market as opposed to the general housing market. The company’s latest ‘Luxury Defined: An Insight into the Luxury Above: The Penthouse Collection Residential Property at The Heron, EC2Y Market’, presents an The Heron is a slender 36-storey tower offering in-depth analysis of exceptional facilities including concierge, valet luxury market trends and compares 10 of the parking and private residents’ club with gym, world’s top property lounge areas, bar, screening room, meeting markets: London, facilities and landscaped roof garden.

Capital appreciation Prime properties, world famous tourist attractions and a wealth of cultural activities, London certainly has much to be appreciated purchasers, and the number of luxury listings relative to population. London topped this year’s Index, with a $101.5 million top sale and average luxury home sale prices of $4,683 per square foot. New York and Los Angeles ranked second and third, respectively, driven by exceptional growth in luxury sales volume. “With more millionaires and billionaires in the world than ever before, pent-up demand and increasing consumer confidence, luxury real estate sales surged in 2013 around the world,” said Bonnie Stone Sellers, chief executive officer of Christie’s International Real Estate. “Strong momentum in the global international luxury housing market was led by cities such as San Francisco, New York, and London, which saw year-over-year increases of 62 per cent, 22 per cent, and 20 per cent respectively, in the total number of $1 million property sales.” International Property & Travel

Roehampton House, SW15 This magnificent Grade I listed mansion has been restored to its former residential glory after being a hospital during both World Wars. Designed by two of Britain’s finest architects, the property was first completed in 1712 by English Baroque architect Thomas Archer before being extended by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1912. Due to the owner’s bankruptcy, it subsequently became a convalescent home for injured servicemen. After being sold to the NHS it then became the Douglas Bader Centre, opened by Princess Diana in 1993. Roehampton House has now been renovated into 22 stunning residences, retaining all original period features.

xploring such a vast area spanning the North American continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans is a tall order within just one article. However, naturally there are certain places, properties and pursuits that stand out. Here we’ve highlighted a selection that caught our attention, starting with some simply stunning homes. Although the freezing conditions which affected much of the US last winter slowed the property market somewhat, there are definite signs of a thaw with prime properties on sale for historically short periods. Robert Green, general manager of Abercrombie & Kent International Estates, comments, “Parts of the US residential property market have seen significant growth in the last year with New York City and Miami performing best of all. With record low inventory in prime urban areas prices have rocketed, exceeding rental growth in the past two years. The NYC metro area saw $60.5 billion of investment in the year to February 2014 and is expected to see growth of around 9% over the next year.” While transactions have been predominantly home born, Mr Green reports that there has been a significant increase in international buyers from the UK, Russia, China and Brazil. “Seen as a safe investment,” he continues, “we anticipate this trend to continue for some time with buyers favouring prime urban locations which appeal to the primary as well as the secondary market.”

should benefit greatly from the improvements at Gazipasa,” said Julian Walker, director at Spot Blue International Property. “Demand for apartments on one of the resort’s many beachside complexes, especially popular with northern Europeans, is only set to increase and we could see prices creep up.” Mr Walker also reports that demand for luxury residences in upmarket districts of Istanbul is continuing to rise, fuelled by buyers from the Middle East who are also attracted by investment opportunities presented by developments in the city’s growing suburbs. In March 2014 alone, foreigners bought 478 properties in Istanbul, out of a nationwide total of 1,362, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute. “The Gulf-Turkish affair is gaining momentum,” said Julian Walker. “For Gulf investors, Istanbul is an attractive stepping stone between the East and West, as well as a place to be seen.” Growth in Istanbul’s real estate market is unmatched by European markets, most of which remain depressed, and price growth is occurring at similar levels to London. “Typical buy-to-let investments are in the $150,000 to $200,000 bracket,” continued Mr Walker. “The market is moving quickly though. Our representative in Istanbul reports that new apartments in prime areas of Beylikduzu that were on the market six months ago for $80,000 should be worth in excess of $100,000 once the development is completed later in the year.” International Property & Travel

Established in 6000 BC, Ephesus was one of the 12 cities of the Ionian union. Some of the most impressive attractions at Ephesus include the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian and the ancient theatre.  www.goturkey.com

The Blue Mosque, Istanbul While still used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed, or Blue Mosque as it has become known, was built between 1609 and 1616 by the young Sultan Ahmet I. It was designed to rival its neighbour the Hagia Sophia and, with its hierarchy of increasingly large domes, this vast complex helped define Istanbul’s skyline. The interior is equally grand and includes swathes of over 20,000 hand made blue tiles which give this magnificent building its name.  www.goturkey.com

Swiss bliss

We explore the potential of Switzerland as a lifestyle destination from both a property buying and tourism perspective

hink of Switzerland and you will probably summon up images of the most stunning mountain and lake vistas. As with visiting most countries, a little inside information goes a long way and sometimes the most direct routes are not the best or most scenic. With this in mind, a new joint initiative from the Swiss Travel System and Switzerland Tourism called ‘Panoramic Pleasures’ will ensure visitors enjoy a stress-free experience and don’t miss any of the highlights. Tourists can now discover 10 of the country’s most beautiful routes via train, bus and boat leaving their hands totally free for capturing everything on camera (www.swisstravelsystem.co.uk). As for those wishing to stay on a more regular basis, Engel & Volkers reports that the most expensive location in Switzerland is the ski resort of Gstaad in the Bernese Oberland. Prices for detached homes and mansions here range from 3 million Swiss francs (approx €2.5 million) in average locations through to 50 million Swiss francs (approx €40.9 million) for highly exclusive chalets in prime positions. “Whilst we are anticipating further price rises for some locations, other submarkets are seeing a levelling out of

prices having reached their highest mark. Search clients are paying very close attention to offers and are no longer willing to accept any price demands,” said Jörg Schmittschneider, managing director of Engel & Völkers Switzerland. On Zurich’s Gold Coast, purchase prices for mansions and detached homes in average locations currently lie between 2.2 and 3.5 million Swiss francs (approx. €1.8 – 2.9 million). In prime locations, properties in this segment rarely change hands for anything under 5 million Swiss francs (approx €4.1 million). Holiday homes in the mountains and Mediterranean-like south of Switzerland are also proving very popular such as freehold apartments and houses in the desirable winter sports resorts of Davos and Klosters. “The number of sales is still stable in spite of a continuation in the price high,” says Mr Schmittschneider. “One reason for this is the high level of demand for property in Switzerland, which continues unabated,” “Engel & Völkers has seen the sharpest rise in prices over recent years in the west of Switzerland. A stabilisation of residential property prices can now be expected however, especially in towns and cities, and suburban areas.” International Property & Travel

stay The Dolder Resort

Offers a perfect balance between Zurich’s pulsating city life and the peace of its surrounding forest

fter four years of conversion and renovation work, the city of Zurich welcomed the return of one of its landmarks, the Dolder Grand, in April 2008. This was probably the most sensational renovation project ever undertaken in the Swiss hotel industry. Renowned London architects Foster and Partners combined the historic main building of the hotel, some of which is listed, with modern architectural accoutrements. All annexes constructed after 1899 were demolished, and two modern wings – the Spa Wing and the Golf Wing – now enclose the main building. The hotel makes use of geothermal energy for efficient energy consumption, with 70 probes having been sunk 150 metres into the ground. Since its reopening, the Dolder Grand has re-established its role as a meeting place for personalities from the worlds of politics, 116

Switzerland.indd 7

business and culture. Numerous VIPs have signed their names in the guest book in recent years. These include Bill and Hillary Clinton, Prince William, David Cameron and Leonardo DiCaprio. Going as far back as 1899, the history of the Dolder Grand reveals a stream of famous visitors such as Henry Kissinger, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Liz Taylor and Luciano Pavarotti. The hotel was even used as a prominent setting for a Hollywood film, namely ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’.

On location

Conveniently placed, the Dolder Resort is just six minutes from the city centre and 20 minutes from Zurich Airport by car. With unrivalled views of the city, the lake and the Alps, the Dolder Resort comprises the Dolder Grand hotel, the four-star Dolder Waldhaus and Dolder Sports with the Dolder Bad (outdoor pool) and Dolder ice skating.

Away from home comforts

The Dolder Grand comprises 173 luxurious rooms and suites within the historic main building and modern Spa and Golf Wings. This summer, the hotel is also opening its new Terrazza Suite. Offering

International Property & Travel

17/06/2014 09:02

390m2 of cutting edge design and ultra-glamorous living space, this three-bedroom residence is the next word in exclusivity and is perfectly suited to long stay guests. The suite mixes classic and modern styles and has both a private entrance and access via the hotel itself. A foyer leads into an impressive study, paved with Arzo Macchia Vecchia marble from Ticino. One floor down, accessed via a glass lift, is the living area and the suite’s three en suite bedrooms. Flooded with daylight, the master bedroom includes a bathroom with a steam shower and whirlpool tub.

At your leisure

The Dolder Resort features a 4,000m2 spa; two restaurants, a bar, ballroom and seminar facilities as well as a remarkable art collection. The Dolder Bad (swimming pool) is up on the Adlisberg in idyllic natural surroundings. Apart from the 50 x 17.5 metre open air pool with diving board, guests can also enjoy the 10,000m2 meadow for games, sunbathing or simply relaxing. A mini-golf course is next to Dolder Bad and tickets offering combined admission to both are perfect for those who fancy playing a few holes to round off their visit to the pool.

The red and white train winds its way through no fewer than 91 tunnels and across 291 bridges.

Lucerne and the Chapel Bridge Framed by impressive mountains, Lucerne is at the end of Lake Lucerne and divided by the river Reuss into an Old Town and a New Town. These are connected by what is among other things the world's oldest covered wooden bridge, the Chapel Bridge, which dates back to the year 1332. The bridge was rebuilt true to the original after the fire of 1993 and leads to the landmark of Lucerne, its octagonal water tower. Like the over 500-year-old Musegg Wall with its turrets, the bridge and water tower were part of the city fortifications. Photography: Switzerland Tourism

17 Caldecott Close, Singapore

Announcing Asia Pacific’s Best Property Professionals. . . This is always an exciting moment as Asia Pacific is the first region in each year’s International Property Awards’ schedule to be judged. Once again entrants from across the Asia Pacific have set an impressive benchmark for all other regions to follow. During the course of the year our extensive panel of judges will continue to seek out the winning formula of innovation, sustainability, eco-awareness and overall ‘wow factor’ that elevates a company from being simply good to exceptional. Demonstrating the criteria perfectly, Best Single Unit Property was won by Maldives ‘Ocean Flower’ by Dutch Docklands Maldives. Taking its name from a Maldivian bloom, this villa is both spacious and spectacular in a magnificent waterside setting. Best Apartment went to ‘1919 – The Black and White Residences’ by Aurum Land. Its design recalls the elegance of Singapore’s colonial era, cleverly infused with contemporary materials and techniques. Through optimising views and natural light, Best Interior Design Private Residence was won by ‘17 Caldecott Close, Singapore’ from Design Intervention. Its design is elegant yet uncomplicated, warm, welcoming and family-oriented. Many congratulations to these companies and all the other award winners listed within this book. I would also like to remind entrants that they are invited to participate in our forthcoming Property Summits in Dubai, Los Angeles and London. Companies in related businesses as well as members of the public are also welcome to attend, widening prime networking opportunities even further. Please visit our website at www.propertyawards.net for full details of dates, locations and how to register.
