Welcome!

Why is it that in this day and age with all the latest technology and gadgets designed to help us in our daily lives, we are still short of that most precious commodity – time? No matter how many lists you make (and take great pleasure in ticking things off as I do), you never seem to reach the end. That’s why, when time is really of the essence whether for business or pleasure, opting to fly by private jet can reduce your total travel schedule by several hours.

The first time I flew privately was on a press trip to Austria and I was amazed at how convenient and relaxed the whole experience turned out to be. Departing from the small airfield, my passport was checked instantly and the pilot carried my case to the aircraft. Once in the air, settled in a comfortable seat with ample space, smoked salmon and champagne was served before landing and an equally quick arrival process. If you haven’t flown this way for some time or not at all, it’s worth taking a look at our feature on the latest innovations in this form of travel.

Staying on a sky-high theme, this issue focuses on a selection of fabulous penthouses around the world. We’ve searched for the finest examples in London, New York, Dubai, Moscow, St Petersburg, Italy, France and Spain.

All have the most fabulous views combined with spacious interiors and terraces and are complemented by first class amenities and services.

This issue, our focus is on penthouses offering the finest bird’s eye views over the city skyline

T

here are many advantages to owning a penthouse apartment ranging from spectacular views and greater specification right through to boasting rights. So, if the thought of living the high life appeals to you, where can London’s finest examples be found? Ben Babington, director of Jackson-Stops’ London Residential Development branch, advises that, as developers recognise that location is a key factor for ultrahigh net worth buyers of London penthouses, the prime examples are in Zone 1. Here residents can look out to spectacular views of the capital’s skyline. “Most, if not all, developers of new apartment buildings will set aside the top floor of their schemes to true penthouse apartments, so quite simply, they can be found wherever developers are building,” he says.

Surprisingly, it appears it is not just high net worth international buyers from the Middle East and Far East and high-flying investment bankers who are purchasing penthouses. “We have seen numerous top floor apartments bought by UK downsizers,” Mr Babington reports, “who have decided to sell their large family homes in the country and return to their roots in the capital. Many of these buyers have sold successful businesses operating outside of London to be able to afford their dream high-rise home.

“Fundamentally, owners of penthouses like to know that they have the biggest and the best property in the building and such apartments are usually found on the top floor.

Developers will often increase the specification on penthouse apartments, with various enhancements and a greater sense of individuality, and will more often than not, include large roof terraces. This not only increases the amount of natural

Lancelot Place, Knightsbdge

An impressive penthouse less than 100 metres from Harrods, this modern six-bedroom apartment includes extensive roof terraces, a 24-hour concierge service, direct lift access, leisure facilities and underground parking. It offers spacious living areas over two floors including a large reception room with doors on to the west facing roof terrace which runs the length of the apartment. Both the master bedroom suite and principle guest bedroom open on to their own terraces, as does the family kitchen/breakfast room. £33.5m / €37.6m / $45.4m Knight Frank  www.knightfrank.com

light let into the living space but also makes them fairly rare. This means that when a penthouse owner comes to sell it is unlikely they will have any competition from neighbours, and allows for a greater chance of achieving a premium price.”

Jackson-Stops reports that, over the last 12 months, the most sought-after penthouses in Prime Central London have been eclipsing £4,000 per square foot, with a handful achieving over £5,000 per square foot. “Over the next two years,” says Mr Babington, “the wider London market is going to see incremental price increases, with greater gains toward the end of that period and beyond. However, penthouses and the best and rarest apartments could well outperform the rest of the market.”

Adam Tahir of Fine & Country Finsbury Park informs us that, in this particular area, new prime penthouses can be found in N16 and N4. “There are several new key buildings that are being built as we speak and are due to complete in Q2 of 2018,” he says.

“They are going to be very popular as they have such gorgeous views of the nature reserve at Woodberry Down, which has recently received an award for nature preservation, presented by David Attenborough. Surprisingly enough, we are now finding more music artists who are choosing to live in these locations as they have great access to the city within a few minutes, as well as the view for inspiration and tight security.

“The apartments are built with so many amenities that residents almost never have to leave the building. The main advantages are on-site gyms, a convenience store and on-site restaurants and coffee houses. Penthouses here are selling for £1.5m – £2m. In pounds per square foot, it is giving residents far more space for their money and yet achieving the same outcome than in Victoria or St Johns Wood.”

Marylebone

This recently launched boutique development on Marylebone High Street will transform the former BBC Radio London headquarters into a

collection of 19 apartments. These include three penthouses and five townhouses just metres from Marylebone’s array of independent shops, specialist boutiques, contemporary art galleries and Michelin starred eateries. The scheme will exude character and individuality, aided by the retention of the original 1930’s heritage façade. Spread across 223m2 and with 42m2 of terrace space, this three-bedroom penthouse offers stunning views across London’s skyline including the BT Tower. £12.5m / €14m / $16.9m Knight Frank  www.knightfrank.com

An exclusive collection of 89 apartments in the heart of Chelsea’s designer hub. The new scheme introduces a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments and penthouses, private rooftop gardens, and landscaped public realm at the gateway to Chelsea Harbour.

The jewel in the crown is a four-bedroom duplex penthouse spanning 3,797 square feet inside and more than 2,000 square feet outside. With spectacular views of London’s skyline and the development’s landscaped roof garden, it includes a fully functioning outdoor kitchen and barbecue area.

Chelsea Island, Chelsea Harbour

Shereen Malik, senior sales negotiator at UK Sotheby’s International Realty, believes that the most prime examples are those overlooking some of London's most beautiful garden squares, parks and landmarks. “Eaton Square and Lowndes Square are examples of such addresses,” she says.

“Wealthy Middle Eastern royals with big families are our core market for penthouses, these buyers are looking for penthouses which span the entire floor plate of an apartment block.

“Penthouses will always be in high demand due to the views and privacy they offer. Some also include a roof terrace or balcony, offering the added benefit of outside space, whilst others boast a personal direct lift to the apartment. Penthouses come at a premium price – for premium addresses!”

They are also hugely popular as rental properties and achieve lucrative rates for their owners. Lucy Morton, Head of Residential Agency at JLL, comments, “Renting a penthouse varies across London, depending on location and amenities available, at JLL we have penthouses available to rent from £2,000 a week. In recent years, we have seen a rise in the number available in London but owing to their exclusivity supply is limited.

“Prime areas such as Knightsbridge, Mayfair and St James are home to the some of the most opulent penthouses in London. However, outside of these traditional areas, there are some incredible penthouses in and around London including, Canary Wharf to the East, Nine Elms to the West, Greenwich to the South and Kings Cross in the North.

“There is a certain kudos, and cost, to living in a penthouse so they are popular with HNWIs and increasingly their background is in the tech sector. They are drawn to these properties because of their panoramic views, high-end concierge » service and amenities.”

Eccleston Square Hotel This boutique hotel behind the doors of a striking 19th century,

Grade II listed historical façade is located in the heart of central London, on the border of Belgravia, Victoria and Westminster

B

uilt circa 1835, the handsome, Grade II listed, late Georgian townhouses of Ecclestone Square had very notable residents including a young Princess Victoria, Lord Louis Mountbatten and Sir Winston Churchill. The square’s secret, residential gardens were once the exclusive picnic spot for the elite residents and their high-society and royal friends, like Oscar Wilde.

Even to this day, the private gardens of Eccleston Square are strictly for residents (and hotel guests).

In 2010, Parisian siblings Olivia and James Byrne acquired numbers 36 and 37 Eccleston Square and began the monumental transformation from the dilapidated

hotel ‘The Elizabeth’ into the multiaward winning Eccleston Square Hotel. Following a £6.5 million refurbishment, and aged just 23 years old when the hotel opened in 2011, Oliva went on to become London’s youngest hotelier.

Eccleston Square Hotel has 39 beautifully designed hi-tech rooms, a petite restaurant, private bar, and media lounge. Combining forwardthinking intuitive technology with sophisticated interiors and sleek service, each detail of Eccleston Square Hotel has been carefully designed with wellbeing in mind.

Each guestroom has either garden or city views, some have private courtyards, others beautiful balconies.

Split across three categories; City Queen, City King and Signature King, all rooms and suites offer an exquisite array of complimentary, luxurious products and services.  www.worldsbesthotels.net

BURSTING with BRILLIANCE

Hearts On Fire diamonds all feature a perfect ring of eight hearts on the bottom and a perfectly formed, symmetrical ‘Fireburst’ on the top. As light enters the diamond, it descends downward into the pavillion. Too deep or too shallow a cut, and the light that gives a diamond its brilliance is lost.

However, because of its perfectly symmetrical cut and increased surface area, a Hearts On Fire diamond captures that light and reflects it from the top, creating maximum brilliance. A fact that shines forth in the Triplicity pointed line 18K white gold bracelet featured here. £16,235 / €18,258 / $22,000  www.heartsonfire.com

ore than 65 Impressionist masterpieces have made the journey to the southern hemisphere to bring Australians a rare sight of some of the most popular artists who have ever lived. The approach has been to explore the use of colour as the guiding force behind the

evolution of the 19th century’s most influential art movement. Today, we see the world newly through eyes long used to the Impressionists. It is hard to credit the extent to which

Ocean Liners Speed and Style

The V&A has been described as a ‘national attic of artefacts from Raphael cartoons to Chinese ice-chests’ which I suppose gives it liberty to flirt with all sorts of shows that are on the fringe of its original purpose. Now with former education minister MP Tristan Hunt (who has no curatorial background) at the helm, the V&A is again sailing into new waters.

An exhibition on ocean liners might appear better suited to the National Maritime Museum but the focus on artefacts from luxurious stateroom carpets to William de Morgan tileworks brings it closer to the V&A's home ground of arts and crafts. There is a host of decorative objects: Art Deco panels and chairs, posters, dresses, screens and so forth. Relics from both Titanic and Lusitania are on show and a beautiful painting by Stanley Spencer from his series Shipbuilding Marlene Dietrich onboard the Queen Elizabeth

on the Clyde is one of the highlights in this jumble of artefacts.

nterior design is such a matter of personal choice that what one person will love by way of colour palette, textures and furnishing, another will marvel at how anyone could live with those particular combinations. It’s often difficult to know where to start when planning a redesign and can be even harder to envisage the end result.

With this in mind, who better to consult for advice than a trio of professional interior designers whose talent has been recognised internationally? Âť

After all, high-end projects are all about individuality and customisation

A rapidly growing architectural and interior design company, HWCD has design teams in Shanghai, London and Barcelona. Working closely together, they deliver integral designs and consultancy services for a global client base. The firm is currently celebrating winning the ‘Best International Interior Design Apartment’ award for its project Rui Hong Xin Cheng in Shanghai.

Steven Lin, HWCD partner and design director, tells us that the main inspiration behind the interior was the lifestyle of New York City living in art. “The development is situated to the north of the famous Bund, across Huangpu River from Lujiazui Financial District,” he explains. “On one side of the river is the historic promenade of Western mansions from colonial time. On the other, a

surreal jungle of skyscrapers, none of which are even older than 30 years.

“Our design wants to amplify this feeling of historical contrast and put the focus on a sense of futuristic optimism. The open plan living space is full of geometric shapes and angular lines in furniture and lighting. It is slightly unusual and certainly makes a strong first impression. Elsewhere the versatility of materials used definitely enhances the sense of opulence, a feeling which is finally strengthened in the bedrooms by highly individual and time-consuming artworks. I think the richness of design details and how well the details contrast but still work together as a whole are the key to success in this project.”

Steven says the best advice he can give is to spend time together with your designers. “Let ideas clash, bounce and grow. It’s a learning process not just for the designers about the owners, but also for the owners about themselves. The designers need to have an understanding of the owners’ character, lifestyle and expectation before they can produce colour palettes or layout meaningful and suitable to the client. After all, high-end projects are all about individuality and customisation.”  www.h-w-c-d.com

Versatile style

Nihal Zaki graduated from Inchbald School of Design in London in 1999 and founded Nihal Zaki Interiors shortly after returning to her native town of Cairo in Egypt. The company has won ‘Best International Interior Design for Private Residence’ for Karma Residence in Egypt. The project features no less than 20 different styles, providing each and every room with a varying theme.

Nihal explains how the concept behind her design evolved. “My client was my inspiration! He wanted a house combining all sorts of classic ‘Period’ styles whereby he could walk from one zone to another, feeling totally transported to a different era or space.”

She believes that Karma Residence’s versatility in terms of style is one of the main reasons for its success. “Yet it has the ability to move smoothly from one space to another through the use of one common palette of paint effects for the walls. There is also the fact that the house is a huge open space with lots of sunlight coming in from its big window façade.”

During her initial consultations with clients, Nihal ensures that she finds out as much as possible about their character, likes and dislikes. “My first advice is to make it ‘personal’,” she

explains. “I usually start by inquiring if clients have a favourite colour, style or maybe piece of furniture or painting, something they love and would enjoy having in their interiors.

I usually take it as my starting point for the design.

“Another recommendation is the ‘pièce de résistance’ of the house which

is usually an out-of-the box concept or eccentric space. I usually love implementing this in the entrance, the dining room or the guest bathroom.

As for the reception and general living areas, I prefer more subtle and chic luxurious themes and not too much on the eccentric side.”  www.nihalzaki.com

To achieve a truly amazing penthouse requires a multi-sensory approach to design, clever utilisation and planning of space

Fashionable flair with timeless elegance

Oliver Burns is an architectural interior design studio that works across an exclusive portfolio of international turnkey projects. The company has recently won the ‘Best Interior Design Apartment UK’ award for The Brummell Penthouse at Beau House in St James’s, London.

Managing director of Oliver Burns, Alex Holden, says, “Named after George ‘Beau’ Brummell – the Regency dandy and arbiter of men’s fashion – we designed The Brummell Penthouse as a stylishly-crafted tribute to the building’s historic location, blending Beau’s fashionable yet tailored flair with a timeless elegance.

The space is thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of contemporary

luxury living and showcases best-inclass British craftsmanship, with cues that honour the heritage of Jermyn Street woven throughout, such as oak herringbone laid floors and pinstripe marble walls, bespoke upholstery and subtle chevron prints.

“The colour palette takes in a handsome and sophisticated range of Beau-style understated hues (he once instructed that gentlemen should wear only three shades: white, black and dark blue) while hints of bronze, burnt orange and emerald green add a contemporary edge and character.

Beau Brummell’s statue, which stands proudly on Jermyn Street, is inscribed with the epithet: ‘To be elegant, one should not be noticed’ – a concept of discreet but exquisite style flawlessly captured at The Brummell.”

The pièce de résistance lies at the top of the sweeping white Namibia marble staircase. There, a retractable glass roof opens to reveal one of the most spectacular roof terraces in London. “This is a matchless space with a unique 360-degree panorama of some of the city’s most important

landmarks,” explains Alex. “Envisaged as an extension to the interior entertaining space, the terrace – which totals almost 1,000 square feet has a vast all-weather sofa and chairs arranged around a fire pit with a retractable 42-inch outdoor TV and speakers hidden in planters. This is an unrivalled space for al fresco parties.

Even the capital’s finest professional chefs will feel at home working in the state-of-the-art stainless steel outdoor kitchen.

“The jewel in the crown of a building, the penthouses we work on usually benefit from considerable light and space, which we further enhance with large expanses of glass such as double or triple height windows and doors with an emphasis on external roof terraces. This, in combination with an open plan layout, ensures light is not blocked and panoramic views are undisturbed. Internally the design focus is on bringing the outside in, and externally, creating a wow-factor roof terrace that brings the inside out.”

Alex advises that, the better the view, the more desirable the penthouse, so it’s always worthwhile trying to secure that extra space on the roof if permission isn’t currently there. “At this level buyers expect the best,” he says, “so roof terraces should ideally extend the full width of the building and offer a large versatile space for outdoor living. To achieve a truly amazing penthouse requires a multisensory approach to design, clever utilisation and planning of space, and delivery of the wow factor.”

buness jets

Time is money Private jets are the ultimate in efficient travel, providing the quickest means of getting to your destination without being tied to itineraries.

We find out more about the options available

lying privately puts you in control, allowing you to travel on your terms. You aren’t forced to get to the airport two hours before take-off to check your bags, nor do you have to stand around in passport or security queues, nor wait for the last passenger to board before you take off. There’s no hanging around while your suitcase makes its way around a carousel in baggage arrivals either.

Jonny Nicol is the founder and CEO of Stratajet, a revolutionary platform that offers fliers direct access to the private jet marketplace and the fastest means of booking aircraft.

“The concept of Stratajet came from my love of flying and wanting to do something to change people’s perceptions of private jets,” he explains.

“Since the inception of private aviation the industry has been plagued by inefficiencies, which have hiked up costs for the passenger, therefore creating an illusion of elitism.”

Mr Nicol believes that these have stemmed from the vastly complex process of booking a private jet.

“Unlike commercial aircraft, which are bound by set schedules, the costs of private jet flights – by the nature

of them being bespoke to customers’ travel requirements – all have to be calculated from scratch. There are an inordinate number of variables that go into these calculations and it takes the most experienced aircraft operator the best part of half an hour to come up with a quote.”

After serving in the British Armed Forces, Mr Nicol spent time as a freelance pilot and realised how these inefficiencies were preventing private jets from being seen as a valid means

of transport. “So, I set about building a technology that could streamline the booking process,” he says. “It took five years to programme the necessary algorithm but, ultimately, Stratajet was the result. All customers need do is use the Stratajet app or visit

buness jets

Stratajet.com and enter where they’re going from and to, date and time of travel and number of passengers – the system does the rest.

“Results of around 50 available aircraft will be displayed in seconds, with the options automatically filtered according to best price. Customers can also customise the search according to a specific aircraft size if they wish.

Once a selection is made, you can

 www.stratajet.com

book instantly with a credit card, bank transfer or via Apple Pay; we are the only platform that offers that instant means of booking online, with no need to rely on a broker to confirm travel arrangements.

“Every time a customer conducts a search, the Stratajet technology makes upwards of 2.5 million calculations in about 10 seconds to return accurate costs of aircraft. We have aircraft from hundreds of operators across Europe built into the system. These range from twin-prop aircraft and very light jets (VLJs), such as the popular Citation Mustang, to larger, longer-range aircraft, like the Gulfstream G650 or Bombardier Global 6000. With the wide range of aircraft available, we regularly see prices that beat business class per person. We’re able to charge the lowest commission in the industry and the average booking via the Stratajet app is around £6,000.

“In Europe alone there are only 500 airfields that are used by commercial aircraft but there are over 2,100 available to private jets. This means if you fly privately there are often airfields closer to your destination. Customers can enter their postcode of where they are travelling to and from and the Stratajet system will make the relevant calculations, factoring in the time it takes to get to the airport and where aircraft are based that best suit their needs. It will also work backwards to calculate the ideal departure time from home or the office.”

Customers are able to access an entire fleet and fly anywhere and anytime without the asset risk of being bound to owning a jet

Fully owned fleet

Launched in 2004, VistaJet has become the first and only global business aviation company. Since then, relying on a global infrastructure operating 24/7, it has flown 300,000 passengers on over 150,000 flights to 187 countries – or 96% of the world.

VistaJet was built with a view of changing the shortcomings in service, reach and efficiency of what was available within the industry at that time. Offering guaranteed availability, a consistent cabin, unparalleled service, global reach and access to an entire fleet with no positioning fees, VistaJet’s aim was to simplify flying private. Customers are able to access an entire fleet, and fly anywhere and anytime without the asset risk of being bound to owning a jet.

Having started with two aircraft operating in Europe, its fleet grew to over 70 aircraft by 2017. After successfully expanding into Asia and the Middle East, in 2013 VistaJet entered the US market which continues to stand as its largest growth market.

Catering to customers’ flying patterns and needs, VistaJet’s fully owned fleet of branded super-midsize and large cabin aircraft consists of Challenger 350, 605 and 850 aircraft, in addition to Global 5000 and 6000 jets.

The Global 6000, seating up to 14 passengers with seven sleeping positions, is considered the

 www.vistajet.com

most advanced and accomplished long-range premium aircraft. Its combination of light and space provide the ultimate en route productivity environment. It can fly up to 13 hours non-stop, with a typical route for customers being London to Hong Kong. The Challenger 605, seating up to 12 passengers, is an impressive intercontinental jet with outstanding mission flexibility, granting corporate and government leaders with the widest cabin in its category.

Customers can fly with VistaJet through two solutions, Program and Direct. The innovative Program model is the flight-hour subscription plan tailored around each corporation or individual’s flying requirements.

This offers guaranteed access to the entire fleet, anytime and anywhere in the world supported by a global team consisting of 1,000 aviation experts of over 50 nationalities.

The fastest way to start flying VistaJet is with Direct where customers can request a flight directly through the VistaJet app and the 24/7 sales team, with preferential rates on empty legs and one-way flights, based on aircraft availability. Providing that the runway is long enough and the region is safe to travel to, VistaJet is able to fly clients wherever and whenever they wish. The most experienced crews are trained to fly to the hardest to reach destinations that require additional accreditation, such as mountainous regions or secluded islands.

Everything is taken care of from the crew, catering, slot access, maintenance, safety and on-board entertainment to allow members to focus on what is really important to them on the ground and in flight. This simple business model is geared to allow members to be at more meetings in more locations within the shortest period of time.

The McLaren Senna, bearing the name of legendary Formula 1 driver, Ayrton Senna, has been designed, engineered and developed to be the ultimate McLaren track-concentrated car for the road.

Legalised for road use, but not sanitised to suit it, the new Ultimate Series deliberately compromises McLaren’s trademark breadth of supercar daily usability; instead it provides the purest connection between driver and car, to deliver the most intense circuit experience of any road McLaren.

The 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine at the heart of the McLaren Senna is the most powerful road car internal combustion engine ever created by McLaren, producing 800PS (789bhp) and torque of 800Nm. Production will be limited to 500 vehicles and all have been allocated already.

From karting to F1 Autosport is the first major car show in the UK each year, taking place at the NEC Birmingham in mid-January. The show, launched in 1991, covers every branch of motorsport from karting to Formula 1 and now attracts a huge number of people.

Visitors can choose to watch driving activities or take part themselves.

If you’ve ever wondered how quickly you could change an F1 wheel, Pirelli ran a competition allowing visitors the chance to see if they could beat the professionals. Many track heroes and legends attended the four-day show, headlined by Formula 1 champion Nigel Mansell.

A group of disabled British servicemen and women launched their Invictus Games racing team in preparation to compete in the British GT series taking place on racetracks across the UK in 2018. The car controls have been modified and adapted to account for the drivers’ disabilities.

The team is financed by the founder of the Superdry clothing brand, James Holder, who himself has competed in the 2016 British GT Championship.

The Performance Car Show featured many rare and exotic cars. Car customisers included Urban and Kahn who specialise in restyling Land Rovers, transforming the utility Defender into a chic cruiser. British supercar manufacturer Noble also displayed its M600 - a true rarity as the company produces less than 20 units a year from its Leicestershire factory. www.autosportinternational.com

ROARING LIKE THUNDER All-British specialist sports car maker The Lister Motor Company revealed its first new model for the 21st century at the 2018 Historic Motorsport International at ExCel, London in February. Dubbed ‘Thunder’, as a logical successor to the cult Lister Le Mans of 25 years ago, this new Lister will be the most rapid, powerful and luxurious Lister ever made in the company’s 65 years.

Just 99 examples of the bespoke Thunder will be built, joining Lister’s existing sports car programme, which includes the first ever fully road compliant version of its landmark Knobbly, built to the model’s original 1950s specification. The new Thunder will be built alongside each of these continuation Lister models at the historic George Lister Engineering factory in Cambridge, where the company’s original chassis jigs are still used.

The aptly-named Thunder will have a top speed in excess of 200mph, with a blistering 0-62mph acceleration in just over three seconds, and a storming 666 bhp.

Potential Lister Thunder buyers will need to be just as quick off the mark to secure one.

hether located in a brand new, purpose-built apartment building or within a beautifully refurbished existing property, Europe has some of the most stunning penthouses. Take Barcelona for example. Mike Williams, director of Urbane Barcelona, says, “Barcelona is steeped with stunning architecture and there is a growing amount of historical buildings being lovingly restored into designer contemporary pads. It's a beautiful city to be based for business, leisure and travel and offers strong investment and long term letting opportunities.”

As for Italy, Leone Rignon, head of sales for Turin, Italy Sotheby’s International Realty, finds that the country’s penthouse market is dominated by Italian professionals. “They are looking for a contemporary home in a metropolitan city such as Turin, Milan, Florence or Rome,” he says. “I predict this market will continue to flourish, as these properties have timeless appeal. Newly refurbished properties can achieve up to €7,000 per square metre.”

Amy Redfern, senior negotiator in the International Residential department of Knight Frank, reports that lateral living is becoming increasingly popular. She identifies clients as being international, typically from the US, Australia, Scandinavia, expatriates from Singapore/Hong Kong, Asia, Russia and some English and Italians.

“They are buying in major cities,” she explains, “for example, Rome, Milan, Florence and then some of the very popular second home holiday water/lakefront locations, such as Venice, Lake Como, Lake Maggiore and La Spezia. Price varies greatly from location to location – in some cases, prices achieved have been in the level of €16 – 18,000 per square metre in Rome and circa €12 – 14,000 per square metre in Florence.

factor, we envisage that pricing will remain strong in this sector. Clients seeking to be a proud owner of a small part of this heritage are often willing to pay premium prices for those penthouse apartments.”

Key examples of penthouse properties in France can be found in the prime real estate markets of Paris, Provence and Cote d’Azur or even a penthouse on the piste in the Alps! Fleur Buckley, property services manager of FrenchEntrée, says, “Typically we see enquiries for this particular style of property from wealthy foreign nationals with an increase in enquiries from Americans in particular. British buyers and clients from the Middle East and China are also quite prevalent and typically have budgets in excess of €2 million upwards.

“Paris is a fast-moving market and until recently, demand has outweighed the supply of property stock in Paris but this is now starting to balance.

The sky is the limit in the south of France and penthouse apartments will run well into the many millions in some of the most exclusive resorts of Saint-Tropez and Cannes. These are luxurious, usually well-appointed high spec properties, often in buildings with concierge service and high levels of maintenance. They are ideal for high end pied-a-terre city break usage and could also be used as buy-to-let investment properties.

“The most interesting area in Paris itself for these searches is Le Marais – a district which spans the 3rd and 4th arrondissements.

This is a trendy and vibrant area full of exclusive eateries, boutiques and galleries and property here can command a high rental return.”

With regards to property prices in Paris, Ms Buckley predicts an increase of 8-9%. “This is largely down to an improved economic outlook and restored confidence in the market under Macron’s influence,” she says.

ew cities have such an instantly recognisable skyline as New York, which makes penthouse living even more desirable. The thought of being able to reside in an apartment high in the sky with such a stunning panoramic outlook is a dream come true for those with suitably deep pockets. Sherry Tobak, senior vice president of Related Companies, says, “New York City penthouse buyers want only the best – a magnificently designed, spacious home featuring opulent finishes coupled with an all-encompassing luxury lifestyle experience.”

Richard Grossman, president of Halstead Property, agrees that buyers continue to be drawn to penthouses in Manhattan because of the exclusivity they offer. “Traditionally,” he says, “buildings only had one or two. Buyers want something unique and different in a city where there is so much repetition of apartments. They are looking for lots of space, nice layouts, amazing views, and dramatic features such as double height ceilings.

“Depending on the Manhattan neighbourhood they are in, variations of penthouses will vary, with a penthouse in Tribeca being different and loftier than, for instance, a Park Avenue penthouse which might be characterised by features like a setback. There is an enduring prestige to a penthouse and we see this in the way that they are being built in new developments with multiple units now carrying the name. Whatever the market is doing at any given time, the NYC penthouse will always have value and people will pay for the price of desire.”

Fifteen Hudson Yards, West Side, Manhattan

On the 88th floor nearly 900 feet high, this duplex penthouse features an arc of floor-toceiling glass spanning 116 linear feet. This allows an uninterrupted 270-degree panorama of the Hudson River, New York Harbour, the Statue of Liberty and the city skyline.

Its collection of recently remodelled suites, junior suites and corridors, a project personally overseen by visionary hotelier and design innovator Ty Warner, has also created a new standard of excellence in New York City.

All of the interiors remain true to the celebrated modern-deco style of IM Pei, the architectural mastermind behind the building’s striking design. Handmade, kingsized, lighted-pedestal beds with

Distinctive English sycamore wood panelling as well as lizard gold and Chabata wallcoverings are featured throughout, and custom-woven, 100 per cent wool carpets and handknotted rugs lend the living spaces an intimate yet elegant feel.

Each of the 368 studio and suite accommodations feature oversized windows that can actually be opened, a rarity in New York City, and offer sweeping panoramic views of Manhattan and an abundance of natural light.

New horizons Since St Kitts introduced an immigrant investment incentive programme in 1984, several Caribbean islands have followed suit.

We find out more about current Caribbean Citizenship

by Investment programmes

urricane Irma, one of the strongest Atlantic storms in history, caused massive destruction in the Caribbean when it struck in late August through to mid-September last year. In a bid to support recovery efforts, Caribbean governments are raising funds through the latest Citizenship by Investment programmes. St Kitts and Nevis is operating a new programme whereby, from September 23rd, 2017 to March 31st this year, investors will be able to attain citizenship by donating $150,000 to the Hurricane Relief Fund.

Real estate expert Yulia Kozhevnikova of Tranio says, “St Kitts and Nevis and its neighbours Antigua

and Barbuda, Grenada, Dominica and St Lucia offer citizenship for various forms of economic investment – in property, business, bonds or public funds. Obtaining citizenship under these programmes takes only three months on average.

“Caribbean Citizenship by Investment programmes share a number of common advantages.

These include visa-free entry to many countries, including Western and Eastern Europe, the UK and Ireland; no permanent residence requirements and permission for dual citizenship.

Other benefits are eligibility of the main applicant’s spouse, children and parents for nationality, tax allowances and convenient business terms.”

Tranio advises that the requirements and costs for Caribbean Citizenship

by Investment programmes vary per country as follows:

hroughout this issue we’ve been highlighting the many advantages of owning a penthouse.

Without exception, they feature spacious living areas with panoramic views and terraces and, being located on the upper levels of a building, offer the opportunity to make their design ultra-special.

Julia Kalinina, sales director of the design studio AvKube, says, “Today in Moscow there is a choice of penthouses in the luxury segment and we forecast that the demand for those with finished quality interiors

will increase. The finished interiors increase the buyers’ interest in the offer, and also allow the seller to increase the cost per square metre.

Since each project is exclusive, we recommend that our clients take into account all of its characteristics in order to develop a unique and sought-after interior.”

According to Oleg Torbosov of Whitewill Real Estate Agency in Moscow, there are nearly 600 penthouses in the Central District of Moscow, of which about 150 are on sale currently. “Buyers especially appreciate views of the Kremlin,

We conclude our search for the world’s finest penthouses by exploring the potential, mainly of those in Moscow, but also in St Petersburg

Stalinist-style, Gothic skyscrapers, churches and the Moscow River.

Bankers, representatives of big business and persons from the list of Russian Forbes are main buyers of penthouses in Moscow. Through a time of sanctions, in 2017, topmanagers of state corporations bought the most notable lots from the number of penthouses.

“Ostozhenka, Patriarshiye Ponds and Nikitskiye Streets are the most popular and expensive districts in Moscow. The prices for top penthouses in these places amount to $20,000$40,000 per square metre. The cost depends on the presence of a terrace, large panoramic windows, absence of neighbours on the floor, several levels, a pool and a helicopter pad. Good penthouses remain rare and a unique commodity; this is why their prices remain at a decent level.” »

Emerging trends

Mr Torbosov reports that new trends in penthouses have emerged during the last five years. Previously, the average size of the apartment on the top floor was 700-1,000m²; currently, the size of penthouses in new buildings amounts to 350-400m². “At the same time,” he explains, “the Russian climate with four warm months in the year has adjusted the size of the terraces.

Before, when buying a penthouse, it was necessary to pay also for half the roof under a terrace of up to 500 metres, now terraces amount to 100150 meters. Also, five years ago, all penthouses in new buildings were sold without finishing, but now developers invite the world’s best designers to create unique interiors and fully finish the newest penthouses.”

However, it must naturally be appreciated that owning a penthouse doesn’t come without its additional costs and possible time delay if you decide to sell. Maria Kotova, Head of Residential, Gorn Development, comments, “The penthouse is an illiquid asset with an average exposure period of typically two times higher than an apartment. The cost of utility bills is also significantly higher than for apartments in the same building as the useful area can be 50% or even lower of the total area. If you imagine a penthouse with a huge terrace in the Russian climate, it immediately becomes clear that owning a penthouse is a real luxury.”

While penthouses are considered as elite real estate around the world, there are offers with an available entrance threshold in the modern market. Lesoberezhny Eco-City in Moscow developed by Urban Group is a prime example. The company’s Head of Communications and PR, Yana Maksimova, says, “This market segment continues to develop.

However, the modern market dictates new requirements. The main share of buyers of penthouses is still made by Moscow and regional businessmen as well as top managers. Such housing is, as a rule, bought for families with children thanks to special requirements imposed to privacy and safety. This gives the chance to protect their personal life from public eyes.”

Neva Towers, Moscow Consisting of two slender skyscrapers of 65 and 79 floors respectively, this development is in the modern, central part of Moscow. The towers are connected by a four-level stylobate with a private park and swimming pool on the roof following the concept of a city resort.

Lotte Hotel Moscow Taking the best from Western and Eastern cultural traditions, this internationally reputed, five-star hotel offers the highest levels of service

L

ocated on Novinskiy Boulevard, in the very heart of Moscow, the Lotte Hotel offers guests 239 rooms and 61 suites. The top, 10th floor houses the 490m2 Royal Suite, an unprecedented room type for Moscow. It has hosted heads of state, political figures, highranking diplomats and celebrities as well as those who simply value extreme comfort.

The Royal Suite combines a bedroom, bathroom with sauna, sitting room, conference hall, dining room, study, office and guest room. The suite is designed in a contemporary interpretation of the traditional eastern style, with classical Korean trends in

architecture complemented by western aesthetic designer solutions.

A sense of luxury is created thanks to unique, hand-made silk and woollen rugs, the very highest quality in Italian furniture, designed especially for the hotel, natural silk fabrics and refined gold candelabras.

The hotel also features two splendid restaurants: OVO by Carlo Cracco, contemporary Italian cuisine by the Michelin-starred chef, and MEGUmi, modern, cutting-edge Japanese cuisine. Additional facilities include an innovative Executive Club Lounge, three levels of underground parking, and a state-of-the-art fitness club and 21 metre indoor swimming pool. Last but not least, the crown jewel of Lotte Hotel Moscow is its world-famous Mandara Spa, which combines ancient Balinese spa traditions with the latest Elemis and Bellefontaine lines. ď‚„ www.worldsbesthotels.net

he International Property Awards is the world’s largest and most prestigious awards’ programme. Our extensive panel of judges is comprised of experts in each particular field; every member demands the very best when selecting

winners, accepting nothing less than excellence. We recognise outstanding expertise in architecture, development, interior design, real estate and related services and are proud to offer our award-winning companies the global recognition they deserve.

Following regional gala presentation dinners held in Bangkok, Dubai, Toronto and London, we can now reveal the winners of the coveted World’s Best Awards as well as those who have succeeded in achieving an International Property Award.

We have awarded the title of World’s Best Property to Mercury City Tower in Moscow, Russia by Mercury City. Apartments at this grandiose, golden tower impressed us by offering optimum security, breath-taking city views and supreme comfort alongside a wealth of services and amenities.

The World’s Best Architecture award was presented to Landmark 81, one of the tallest towers in Vietnam at 460 metres high, designed by Atkins. This superb landmark building in Ho Chi Minh City stands out from the rest by its multiple, landscaped roof terraces and expansive façade overlooking the Saigon River.

The award for World’s Best Interior Design went to Phoenix TV International Media Center by Head Architecture. One of its most innovative features is the producer’s Control Room which is suspended from the ceiling above the main news desk forming a striking visual centrepiece.

Many congratulations to all those companies listed in this publication and we wish them every success in the future,

, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, is one of the world’s most respected design, engineering and project management consultancies. The company has designed Landmark 81, a multiaward winning project which has been further bestowed with the coveted title of ‘World’s Best Architecture’. The 460-metre high landmark building in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is ideally located within Vinhomes Central Park.

Designed by Atkins for Vingroup, its expansive façade faces the beautiful Saigon River.

Encompassing an area of 241,000m² and comprising 81 storeys, Landmark 81 will be the tallest building in Vietnam and in the whole of South East Asia. Its upper portion will accommodate the five-star Vinpearl Hotel, while the predominant function will be residential along with a luxurious shopping

centre. This will include the finest retailers all under one roof for a top-class experience.

Featuring alongside this impressive array of mixed amenities are finely crafted landscape features. These will enhance and enliven the architectural design as the landscaping gradually grows upwards from the plaza to the many roof terraces surrounding the podium and tower.

Atkins’ challenge as architects was to create a unique and dynamic tower design to support Vingroup’s vision for a high-end mixed-use development project. The tower is also integrated into the public realm, which addresses sustainable design challenges at various interfaces of the project. Landmark 81 now spirals above the growing skyline of the city adding a new iconic landmark to Ho Chi Minh City’s towering skyline.

 A  a multiaward winning, Hong Kong based practice with a focus on retail design and broadcast studios. One its latest projects, Phoenix TV International Media Center has won the highly coveted title of ‘World’s Best Interior’. Although Phoenix New Media’s iconic building had already come to define its Beijing neighbourhood in China, the studio and newsroom designed by Head Architecture gave it the heart it needed and deserved.

The client’s brief was to create a functional newsroom around a single idea of repeated circles. The challenge was to create a collaborative workspace paired with a newsroom to raise the bar for all Chinese broadcasters. The resulting circular theme of the main news desk ripples through the

studio, creating a myriad of corners, curves and light.

Circular columns sheathed in backlit glass create new reflections at each turn, highlighted by the curving walkways. Recalling the zig-zag bridges of classical Chinese gardens, the corners invite staff and visitors alike to pause and talk or simply admire the view. Undoubtedly, one of the most innovative features is the producer’s Control Room which is suspended from the ceiling above the main news desk forming a striking visual centrepiece.

Above all, the studio rigorously adheres to a single concept, housing state-of-the-art broadcast facilities as well as staff offices.

Specifically designed by Head Architecture to be versatile, it offers Phoenix’s producers endless shooting angles and variations.

  T is New Zealand’s largest privately owned real estate company, still family owned and operated after more than 90 years in business.

With over 67 branches and almost 2,500 staff, it is a multi-award winning real estate company specialising in the Auckland and Northland property markets, along with dedicated lettings, rural and commercial real estate, projects, and body corporate divisions.

Barfoot & Thompson has been entrusted with serving the property needs of Aucklanders since 1923, when the company’s founder Val Barfoot bought a small real estate agency in Newmarket, Auckland. Maurice Thompson joined him in 1940 and the business changed its name to Barfoot & Thompson. The founding partners were inducted into the New Zealand Business Hall of Fame in 2013.

The company was built on the guiding principles of honesty, integrity and service,

2017-2018

and is still run with those values at its core.

The descendants of the founders are still involved with the company. The current directors – Peter Thompson and Kiri Barfoot – are the grandson and granddaughter of the original owners. In 2015, Peter Thompson’s eldest daughter started work at the company, representing the fourth generation of family to join the business.

Barfoot & Thompson is Auckland’s leading real estate agency, with a consistentlygrowing market share since the mid-1990s.

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area and most-populated city with over 1.4 million residents – around a third of the country’s population. Focusing on one geographic location ensures that they know the Auckland property market better than any other New Zealand real estate company, and that they are able to meet the property needs of the city’s rapidly-increasing population.

Wholly owned by the Barfoot and Thompson families, each manager runs their branch – they do not own it, nor do they sell in competition to their team. Due to the company’s non-franchised model, any of its 1,700+ salespeople can introduce buyers and share information on any property that is listed, with no regional restrictions. This increases the reach of property campaigns, and creates competition at a scale not possible with franchised agencies and boutique offices.

Throughout Barfoot & Thompson’s many years in business, the lettings division has been an integral part of the company. During the Great Depression, the company survived primarily on their letting services. Again, during World War II, the lettings agency proved to be a vital part of the business when residential sales dropped due to the price limits of real estate sales imposed by the New Zealand Government.

From modest beginnings, the company’s lettings agency has grown from strength to strength. By 1975, there were 26 lettings branches. By 1979, they had over 1,600 landlords and over 3,000 tenants. Today, the lettings agency has over 60 branches and manages over 15,000 properties.

Having been in business for over 90 years, Barfoot & Thompson is an iconic and highlyvisible brand in Auckland. The company ensures that it remains top of mind through innovative marketing practices and high-profile sponsorships, including as presenting partner of the World Masters Games 2017 in Auckland.

The company’s focus on innovation extends to its staff and clients, demonstrated in their commitment to developing and investing in technology and tools that increase productivity and enjoyment in the workplace, thus empowering their staff to deliver an outstanding client service.

Livingroom Estate Agents The Old Mill, St. Martin, Guernsey. GY4 6DB

  S T in January 2006, the award-winning real estate agency Livingroom is based in Guernsey. The team offers in excess of 100 years of collective experience in this area of expertise together with a vast degree of experience from previous careers in related fields. These include construction, interior design, investment management, print/digital and social media marketing, banking, HR and customer relations. The company has also built an enviable circle of advisors such as relocation specialists, lawyers and accountants to ensure clients receive a fully-inclusive service.

Whether selling or buying a £100,000 studio or a £25 million mansion, every client is important to Livingroom. There may be 24 estate agents in Guernsey but, in August 2015,

the company sold a massive 41% in value of all property sold on the island. An intrinsic part of this success is the carefully-considered marketing and fresh, design-led approach to the property industry.

Livingroom has never simply followed the herd with predictable property marketing. As it has the only dedicated in-house creative team in Guernsey, the agency continually innovates how it presents its properties and is able to react quickly and across marketing channels in a way competitors cannot match. Livingroom is also rightly proud of its ground-breaking and ever-evolving website – built from scratch by a team of talented digital experts. It offers state-of-the-art functionality and analytics and, due to constant evolution, remains unrivalled in Guernsey.

WCD   - design firm with an international team based in Shanghai, London, and Barcelona. Its portfolio includes high-end residential, boutique hotels and urban design.

From concept to construction drawings, the company emphasises detail and the incorporation of local cultures into each design process.

Featuring an award-winning interior design by HWCD, Rui Hong Xin Cheng is a private apartment north of the famous Bund in Shanghai, across Huangpu River from Lujiazui Financial District. On one side is the historic promenade of Western mansions, while on the other is a surreal congregation of skyscrapers. HWCD’s challenge was to unify these stark opposites.

Having spent many hours in consultation with the clients, the designers’ inspiration stemmed from their characters and

expectations. As this project represents the top end of Shanghai residential developments, it has been highly bespoke from the very beginning. The best materials were procured following factory visits and meetings with experienced craftsmen and these were used to achieve the appropriate, optimum effect. The magnificent wall art in the guest bedroom, an image of an awesome city landscape, took no less than four months to create from drawings. Each step from the selection of wood, laser cutting to joining, is infused with a respect for age-old craftsmanship such as marquetry.

Although following traditional methods and paying tribute to the apartment’s historic context, daring composition and combinations have given the space a distinct personality.

For example, the dining room’s crystal chandelier uses rock crystals from a Belgian mine, ceasing to be a mere utility, it becomes

the personification of the clients’ preferences and experiences. Every element of this design displays a sense of unrushed pursuit for quality and perfection.

Keppel Sheshan Riviera Residence is another award-winning project by HWCD. Situated in the so-called ‘Back Garden of Shanghai’, Sheshan Scenic Area, this is the only natural woodland area of this megacity.

Sheshan has become a magnet for city high flyers looking to build family retreats there in recent years, thus HWCD was commissioned to design the show villa for a new and luxurious 170,000m² development.

Villas at Keppel Sheshan Riviera Residence have a total area of 271 to 375m², a neoclassical façade, double height lounge, dual aspect layout and a panoramic roof terrace with enviable woodland views. Walking through the show villa, a striking sense of luxury and elegance is immediately

apparent. Its bespoke style, delicacy in taste and elaborate details combine to provide an excellent visualisation for prospective buyers.

Additionally, the design provides a nonintrusive platform on which any other themes can be incorporated.

The show villa’s sense of space and symmetry gives the interior a touch of classic luxury while decorative shelving immediately catches the eye. A champagne gold coloured brass display shelf unit in the TV room was inspired by antique Chinese display shelves and forms an excellent example. On the first floor, the master suite features a fabric bound, wall-length headboard and velvet bed bench to enhance the feeling of homeliness and comfort.

More functional rooms such as the games room, home cinema, wine cellar and maid’s quarters are extensively finished with natural stones and treated wood hardware to ensure an enduring environment.

H P, an integrated property, project development and asset and facilities management group, has developed the award-winning TH Hotel & Convention Centre (THHCC) Kuching in Sarawak, Malaysia. It is ideally located close to Kuching International Airport.

The four-star hotel incorporates the needs of the local communities by comprising an office component and convention facilities including a hall that can accommodate up to 1,090 people. It also features a Hajj complex which has been specially designed for Muslims who are planning on embarking on the pilgrimage to Mecca.

The TH hotel stands nine storeys high, which increases the visibility of the building from various angles. Externally, this design gives a more dynamic and lasting impression with its distinct positioning and patterning.

The regional context was another important aspect and considered at great length before finalising the underlying design principle of THHCC. The resulting building design embodies the cultural heritage of the indigenous community in Sarawak, through the adaptation of Pua Kumbu motifs into its form. Pua Kumbu is a traditional, multi-coloured hand-woven fabric made and used in Sarawak. Its rich patterns and vibrant colours are as unique as they are significant to the local community. This ethnic heritage is infused into the design of THHCC to create a timeless and synergistic blend of art and architecture.

The consideration of immediate surroundings and the locality was extremely important when implementing the design, in order to allow the building’s external appearance to reflect the local culture, society and climate

requirements. This approach resulted in a striking modern contemporary building façade that was accentuated by tropical architectural elements. Inspiration was sought from the lush tropical rainforest of the Borneo island in which THHCC Kuching is located. This not only celebrates the glorious setting of the development site, but also forms the underlying green technology and efficient living adopted by the project. The scale, design, building function, landscaping and materials are chosen to be environmentally friendly as far as possible, and also made to be conducive to the expectations of a modern, 21st century lifestyle.

The final overall design of the integrated building development includes a grand lobby at the ground floor, while the lower ground floor contains public and private parking bays.

The hotel’s interior design uses Islamic concepts as a guideline for the facilities areas,

in terms of spatial planning and layout. This extends to common areas which are mostly divided into separate male and female facilities in order to fulfil the requirements of the adjoining Hajj complex’s patrons. All public areas take inspiration from local traditional motifs that are commonly found in fabric etchings and mat weavings native to Sarawak.

The cultural symbolism in these design patterns are further accentuated by sustainable design concepts.

The Presidential Suite is the most exclusive VIP accommodation available within the hotel, with the room embracing a lavish sense of style with custom designs and fittings.

Within the exclusive suite, there is a living room and dining area, an activity/lounge area, the main bedroom with a master bathroom and a smaller bedroom with twin beds and an adjoining bathroom.

edas, one of the world’s leading architecture and design practices, has won awards for no less than 11 different projects.

SCE Shanghai Hongqiao CBD North 01 & 03 Project is a Grade A office development in China. Its design embodies three main concepts: The Enclosure is the courtyard which fosters a sense of belonging; The Bamboo is represented by the elegant design of the façade; and The Cube concept challenges the banal curtain wall façade of office buildings with attractive projections and grooves.

Lè Architecture

Lè Architecture is a high-rise office tower in Taipei, Taiwan which aims to redefine the skyline of this rapidly developing district. Its design is inspired by the shape of pebbles in the nearby Jilong River; developing the unique aesthetic that conveys softness and elegance as well as strength and character.

Zhuhai Holiday Resort New Hotel (Phase 1) is adjacent to the Pearl River Delta in China within an area known as ‘the garden of the garden city’. The concept for the new buildings thus draws inspiration from the site as an aged tree that continues to grow, extending its roots and sprouting new branches.

Luxe Condominium

 M D has created exclusive interiors and custom furniture in Canada and internationally for over 25 years. Passionately integrating design and technology, the company transforms spaces with artistry, personal attention, clear communication and meticulous care. Following are two award-winning examples.

Bespoke Townhome in Toronto follows the clients’ brief to create a comfortable, elegant space inspired by some of the best boutique hotels they have visited on their travels. A key requirement for this bespoke home was to integrate leadingedge technology and home automation harmoniously with beautiful custom furnishings. Maximising convenience and efficiency, the property has been transformed into a magical and exciting place to live and

one which perfectly suits the clients and their busy lifestyle.

Luxe Condominium is a second home in Miami, Florida with spectacular waterside views of South Beach. The well-travelled owner and his daughter enjoy escaping the cold Canadian winters and so the property is very much their retreat in paradise. Ariel Muller’s brief was to renovate the condominium to capitalise on the sweeping views and vibrant urban surroundings.

The client wanted to open up the space to adopt a more contemporary lifestyle conducive to family enjoyment, entertaining and ultimately bringing the outdoors in. Fresh and bold, the condominium’s new design harmonises with the surrounding ocean and natural elements while a newly furnished outdoor terrace further extends the living space and connects beautifully with the outdoors.

P.O. Box 112, Project House, Leeward Highway, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, BWI

. A. S D is the only single-source architecture and general contracting firm in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Its comprehensive range of services are backed by a team of professionals who remain focused throughout the entire design and build process.

Mandalay is the company’s magnificent, award-winning villa on Providenciales’ Long Bay Beach. Due to the fact that there was an existing building on the site which was constructed prior to the 100 feet setback regulations, Mandalay was permitted to be built on its foundations, with just a 30 feet setback. With very little client direction, aside from requiring it to be a frequently visited vacation villa suited to entertaining multiple guests and family, the design became a

collection of features previously considered but never employed on other projects.

The result is an eclectic combination of local heritage architecture, sprinkled with Bermudian features. It incorporates interesting tropical elements that are impractical in other climates and which help to create the epitome of Caribbean vernacular architecture and indoor/ outdoor tropical living design. Sliding window walls that are completely concealed when in the open position; the need to go outside to transit between rooms; and living spaces that flow seamlessly from interior to exterior, all help to connect villa to its fabulous surroundings. The concept attempts to capture ocean views from all areas but, where this has not been possible, elements have been created to engage and compete for vacationers’ attention equally well.

   design and development company specialising in luxury properties and resorts in the Cayman Islands. It approaches each residence as a unique opportunity to create a home that will match and enhance its owner’s lifestyle.

Clearly demonstrating this philosophy, Sun Serenity is directly on the beach of Cayman Kai at Rum Point. This award-winning villa is a shining example of West Indies contemporary architecture and forms a one-of-a-kind retreat.

Its primary purpose is to serve as a sumptuous, multi-generational family vacation/rental home for the affluent, well-travelled clients, their children and grandchildren.

The vacation experience has been successfully enhanced by the thoughtful design and layout in regards to addressing the

particular needs of a large group. These include a spacious central gathering area, plenty of outdoor recreation spaces, ample and inviting indoor and outdoor dining areas and the ability to enjoy substantial privacy in each respective guest’s personal quarters.

Five of the six total guest bedrooms are located on the second level, four of which are directly oceanfront. This challenging but important rental marketing feature was successfully accomplished by positioning two of the King Suites out over the pool area.

Crowning Sun Serenity fittingly is the thirdfloor mezzanine and its sunset terrace. This space, unlike any other in all of Cayman Kai, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Barrier Reef, Stingray City and the entire span of the tranquil North Sound.

Peninsula Investiments Group w: www.peninsulainvestments.com

 G,  partnership with Peninsula Investments Group, is developing a tower that is located in downtown Montevideo, Uruguay. Nostrum Bay is an affordable housing, high-rise building that will include both residences and some retail space at street level. For this project, Altius commissioned Carlos Ott Architects in association with Carlos Ponce de León.

The resulting double award-winning project is part of a new generation of tall buildings in the country and forms one of the most distinctive examples. Its dramatic shape rises next to the Bahia de Montevideo shore and port, creating a striking natural landmark.

The building will have 17,790m² of built area including three retail spaces, parking facilities for 103 vehicles and 193 residential lists.

The exterior of the tower dazzles, as the client requested, while the interior toys with a soft tension between a high-tech maritime look and a lavish, yet warm, aesthetic. In order to make the most of the tower’s location, all apartments have open views over the city while a core enclosing its facilities forms the central spinal column of the building. The top floor was specially required to have some of Nostrum Bay’s residents’ amenities as well as two barbecues and roof terraces with panoramic views towards the city, bay and Cerro de Montevideo.

Nostrum Bay will become one of the iconic scenes of Montevideo. It will not only be a landmark from which the urban panorama can be experienced but also an outstanding silhouette in the skyline of Montevideo.

 D  won the Best International Leisure Architecture Award with its design of The HillTop Clubhouse for The Hong Kong Jockey Club. This stunning building speaks about time, place, memory and cultural symbolism and at the same time evokes lightness and transparency. This unique building form has also been layered horizontally with its internal activities and material finishes.

The podium, which accommodates the main vehicular drop-off area, car parking and building plant, has been clad in a charcoal grey granite with accents of beige limestone. This reflects the past long-standing building on this site and the memory of the British colonial period of Hong Kong.

The pool deck, which accommodates a 50-metre swimming pool with surrounding terrace areas, has been enclosed in a gun-metal grey window wall system to visually separate

the light horizontal tower above with the solid podium below.

The horizontal tower, which accommodates the various venues, has been clad in a silver champagne curtain wall to reinforce and reflect the cultural symbolism in Asia of the traditional building material of woven bamboo and of folding screens originating in China during the Han dynasty. The roof, which accommodates four tennis courts, has been enclosed within a permeable metal screen to conceal them from the surrounding neighbourhood and to provide a visual ‘crown’ to the building.

The architectural vision for the appearance of this building form was to evoke lightness and transparency during the day and also at night. This vision of a ‘lantern’ building at night was inspired by traditional Chinese lanterns used for festive occasions because lanterns are a symbol of ‘reunion’.

 , Joakim de Rham of Swiss Bureau Interior Design and Siavosh Adeli of Adeli Interior Architecture & Partners have designed the award-winning Room of the Emirates of the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. One of the largest rooms of the Palais des Nations, it required a complete refurbishment to comply with current technical standards for conference rooms. Interpretation, fire safety and accessibility for disabled persons were among the project’s key objectives.

Represented by the Ministry of Presidential Affairs, the client brief requested that the architects integrated strong symbols of their country into the design. The brief also sought to combine functionality and cutting-edge technology, with an aim to merge innovation and cultural heritage in line with architectural

trends apparent in the UAE over a number of past years.

The project’s concept was born from the idea of creating a sensation of openness and natural luminosity as the existing Room had no natural light. By allying themselves with the latest technology, the architects developed a ‘living’ ceiling whose geometry draws its sources from the United Arab Emirates’ emblem. The ceiling includes LED technology, enabling the ‘sky’ to transform from dawn into dusk in real time. The entire Room was also designed in the colours and scenery of the Emirates. A woodwork of sand-coloured blades with undulating effects on the periphery subtly suggest windblown sand dunes, while the back of the presidential zone has a deep blue marble wall with sparse greyish slits, signifying the foam of the Persian Gulf.

The goal for the developers, Emaar, The Economic City (EEC) was to create an unparalleled health and fitness destination for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Set over 53,000m² with a built-up area of 14,700m², Esmeralda will act as a hub for the Al Murooj community and also serve the growing population of expats and Saudis in KAEC Industrial Valley, Jeddah and Rabigh.

The exterior of Esmeralda is a highly modulated massing of building forms designed to provide visual interest from all sides. There is no rear to the development; for instance, the sports block to the east with its

large interior space was articulated in such a way so as not to overwhelm the neighbouring homes. The northern social space has also been designed to provide additional screening from the sports block.

The interior features a visually grand clerestory due to the prominent and impressive climbing wall that is visible even from the parking lot. This visual space is segmented just above the lobby by the diagonal lines of the fitness floor above, creating an improbable dynamic space within the colonnaded axiality of the clerestory. By providing an unparalleled health and fitness destination in a safe and luxurious environment, EEC has created a legacy for the continuing wellbeing of KAEC and the broader KSA.

This secure, easily accessible multipurpose development offers unsurpassed quality of life in a vibrant urban environment - from a place to live and learn to a place of work and play. All this is provided within a sustainable development where the community can thrive in an environmentally conscious and technically advanced haven.

The main goal was to raise the benchmark for urban design on both a local and international level. Ideally located between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Waterfall was designed to grow with

its community and integrate seamlessly with the surrounding infrastructure. It has emerged as the largest mixed-use property development in South Africa, ultimately combining over 20,000 residential units, which will eventually house 80,000-100,000 residents, with commercial and office space that will accommodate a further 75,000 people.

Additional key advantages for Waterfall are its accessibility to major road infrastructure and the fact that the total project is planned as a green field development. This allows the best urban design principles to be applied in determining infrastructure, services and open public spaces. In turn, this ensures a sustainable city whereby all elements integrate seamlessly and efficiently.

The 800m² project called for an intelligent and dynamic interior design solution – one which would introduce a variety of new and visually diverse materials and finishes. The client brief was to establish and create a new exciting direction and natural evolution of the previously designed brand. It was also a client requirement to develop a new visually stimulating and exciting lounge to be incorporated into the restaurant’s interior while remaining sympathetic to the brand

Lotus Arts de Vivre

and its origins. The end result is a seamless transition from the previous brand identity to Roberto’s newly evolved direction.

Lotus Arts de Vivre is another awardwinning project by Bishop Design LLC, this time for retail interior design. The iconic brand, known for its bold Asian and animal themed creations made with opulent raw materials, commissioned Bishop to create a signature store. With the aid of the timeless concept design characterised by its refined details and the use of natural materials and neutral tones, Bishop has maintained the focal point of the store’s interior as the brand’s jewellery and handcrafted accessories. Being an ever-changing space, the open space gallery with its integrated window display allows for an effortless evolution throughout the different seasonal collections.

The company’s award-winning project, Nelson’s Retreat, is best described as a ‘Smart Apart-Hotel’. Unlike any other property in Antigua, its design, location and operations ethos will add a new dimension to the island’s chic and understated south coast on opening in late 2019.

The Elmsbridge team has designed a small, boutique property nestled into a steep site.

The concrete block building method was chosen because it is traditional to the island and creates a superlative finished product.

The wonderful, historic Georgian and classic

Caribbean architecture surrounding Nelson’s Retreat is also respected and balanced via clean lines and native textures. The vegetation and landscaping of the site will be an important unifier with the environment, whilst still framing a modern hotel with clean lines and contemporary energy.

Befitting the Caribbean, the interiors are open spaces that flow seamlessly from indoors to outdoors. The furniture is flexible for work or play as desired and the tone is mindful of the target market of guests generally in their 20s to 50s with a keen sense of adventure. The studio apartments will be privately owned and operated via the rental program with up to one month’s use per year and annual profit share for the owners.

RCL Foods is the result of a merger between five companies, requiring a head office, with architecture by Elphick Proome Architects, and a work environment focused on people. The intent was to foster a sense of unity and energy, with creative spaces and the opportunity to generate chance interactions.

After extensive research into the needs of the client, novospace presented a number of overall style concepts, with the ultimate decision going to ‘Funky Raw’. Internal finishes were chosen to contrast against the white and charcoal exterior of the building,

incorporating raw exposed brick, concrete, polished cementitious floors, rough sawn timber and an array of steel elements.

A subtle approach is taken to link the interior with the nature of RCL Foods’ business – the occasional table supported by cutlery-shaped legs is a whimsical touch.

Specific facilities needed for the project included test and development kitchens, a public food shop, cafés and a skybar.

These were integrated around a dramatic central atrium to encourage collaborative working practices.

The ultimate result of novospace’s work is a truly African working environment – one that departs from the familiar sameness of competing companies to create its own bespoke industrial aesthetic and identity.

Standing 616 feet high, the tower’s first five floors consist of five-star amenities and receiving areas, the following 15 floors house the guest suites while the upper levels are comprised of residential condominiums. This configuration was in line with the client’s main requirement to have a one-stop luxury destination for both the hotel’s guests as well as the tower’s residents.

Designed by architect, Arthur Erikson, the hotel tower is a singular, pure form rising from the ground to its parapet in an ingenious, graceful spiral. The resulting massing, with a constant, truncated floor plate, creates a powerful iconic form.

Balconies are located at the truncated corners of the tower to maintain its simplicity and emphasise the ‘motion’ of the tower.

The interior design conveys the same elegance as the tower’s façade, with a luxurious, modern aesthetic, imbued with sophistication and class. Key themes are modern social interactions, illumination and reflection, natural mosaic and intrigue.

Arguably, Vancouver’s most enviable address, Trump Vancouver offers an unparalleled level of services and experiences both inside and outside the hotel.

The company’s award-winning project, Vinhomes Metropolis, is a high-rise, mixed-use development in the heart of Hanoi’s central business district. It contains three towers offering one to four-bedroom apartments and two office towers for rent, three floors for commercial use and four floors below grade.

The project is considered the top ranked residential complex in Hanoi and offers an ideal living environment for global citizens as well as extensive landscaping across its 3.5 hectare site.

Located in what is known as the ‘golden area’ of the Ba Dinh District, on one of the

most beautiful streets in Hanoi, Vinhomes Metropolis provides urban apartments in the most desirable area of Hanoi. This gives the development a truly superior standard of living while offering spectacular views of the city’s four large lakes. This is one of the features that positions Vinhomes Metropolis in a class by itself, since future residents can enjoy both life on the vibrant streets and views of the lakes.

Besides having a prime location, Vinhomes Metropolis also provides the benefit of modern facilities. These include its commercial centre, an intermediate-level Vinschool, a unique floating garden, an outdoor swimming pool, playgrounds, gyms and other sports and recreational facilities. Committed to the safety, security, accessibility and wellbeing of all its residents, Vinhomes Metropolis provides a private entrance and lobby at each tower.

Vinhomes Metropolis provides all the advantages of a five-star apartment in the city centre and is supported by the Vinhomes brand, considered one of the three most valuable real estate brands in Vietnam. Each apartment is optimised to satisfy the demands of various types of customers, from one to three bedrooms as well as penthouses and sky villas. They are arranged logically for the natural sunlight to be shared by all rooms in each apartment. Glass balconies make the common spaces such as kitchens and living rooms, open and connected to one another. Private spaces such as bedrooms and bathrooms are interspersed to make it easy to arrange furniture and turn redundant angles into useful spaces.

There are also eight commercial units on the first and second floors of the residential

buildings. This model is an ideal choice for Vietnamese people who are familiar with starting businesses in their own homes. Business types range from cafĂŠs to restaurants, shops and offices for rent.

Residents are thus assured a luxury lifestyle comparable to other Vinhomes’ developments. The combination of modern architecture with a touch of classical elegance creates a symbol of prosperity and success. Based on its prime location and priceless views, along with its convenient transportation and global community, Vinhomes Metropolis promises to provide investors with a highly profitable investment opportunity. Investors may list their apartments for rent or keep them as longterm investments as it will be the first complex in Vietnam to be directly connected to the Metro line 3 in Hanoi.

It works exclusively with international clients, providing high-end custom architectural design services for luxury vacation homes and investment properties in Costa Rica, Panama and the Caribbean.

The company has won two awards for its project Cap Limon Luxury Club Residences in the Dominican Republic’s Samana province. The client, Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club (LHVC), gave a brief requiring a modern and clean architectural style to blend with the surrounding natural environment. Thus, Sarco has created open, airy spaces with a blurring of indoor and outdoor lines and an exterior featuring natural materials.

During the Master Plan process, the design team identified potential residential ‘neighbourhoods’ that can be developed in phases. Areas of the resort with premiere ocean views were selected for larger estate residences, while those at the rear with appealing jungle and valley views were ideal for a mixture of vertical residences and smaller bungalow designs.

The resort’s amenity buildings are exemplified by the VIP Club Restaurant and the striking, flowing rooflines resembling tree canopies. As if ‘floating’ above the treelines of the hillside below they provide an example of the vision for the rest of the project. They also convey LHVC’s desire to provide guests with a high-end yet natural luxury experience – one which is not currently found in the Dominican Republic’s other resorts.

amenities. Setting a new benchmark in terms of intelligent design, exclusivity and aesthetic appeal, the development’s design suggests ‘unbounded living’. This allows residents to enjoy a lifestyle where the outside becomes an integral part, promoting an unencumbered way of life.

Perfectly placed to offer residents recreational facilities, as well as its exclusive sandy beach, EROK includes a state-of-the-art sports club with a gym/training room facing the sea. Its Balinese-style spa offers a haven of wellbeing for both residents and their guests, while a 20-metre swimming pool and a stylish beach bar offer perfect places to relax and rejuvenate. Unique in both its setting and potential, EROK is also available to foreign investors – presenting a rare opportunity in one of the most sought-after areas of Mauritius.

 L P is a design and architecture firm based in Mexico which is dedicated to create the best architectural solutions and interior design for modern needs. The company’s two projects detailed here are both award-winning examples.

Departmento CSF involved the complete refurbishment of a two-storey apartment on the 21st floor of a high-rise building.

The element that best fulfilled the client’s requirements was De Leon’s creation of the double height space, allowing much needed natural light into the property. Most of the design concept evolved from this decision as the space changed dramatically once the existing suspended ceiling was removed. A distinct original lack of character has been transformed by giving the living areas a more

industrial appearance, resembling more of a loft than an apartment.

Clandestino Hotel is a small boutique operation in the city centre of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. The refurbishment project was carried out on a historic house dating back to the 19th century. Some of the original features had to be preserved and restored, while adapting the existing building to suit its new purpose.

The project resulted in eight guest bedrooms, four located within the original building and the remainder in a new building located at the rear of the estate. Joined together by a common courtyard, the two parts of the Clandestino Hotel create a style that is true to the town’s colonial essence while combining it with contemporary elements.

The Westin Dubai – Al Habtoor City is an award-winning example. As Westin Hotels’ brand originates from the North West of America and the Rocky Mountains, WA International localised this theme by taking inspiration from the Al Hajar Mountains. The Westin brand’s brief and design concept was not only based on nature, it was the perfect blend of nature’s organic elements combined with the decorative arts and architecture movement of Art Deco.

Port Saeed, Deira, Dubai

The influence of Frank Lloyd Wright, an architect of far reaching vision who followed a philosophy he named ‘organic architecture’, can be clearly seen in the hotel’s spaces. The Westin brand’s colour palette is harmonious, subtle and rich and so the main lobby features a neutral base of beige grey and taupe with subtle accents of greens, blues and browns. Classic and timeless guest rooms are also influenced by the stylised motifs of the Art Deco movement.

Rich, energising textures and peaceful patterns harmonise the interior mood, leaving guests transformed through a feeling of wellness and wellbeing. A stay at The Westin Dubai offers the opportunity to experience both the tranquillity of nature’s elements as well as the timeless design aspects of the Art Deco movement.

The Vue is a premier residential tower in a prime location between the Al Kurnaysh and King Abdul Aziz Road in the north of Jeddah. It creates an axial view through its central sculpture garden offering 35 exclusive residences with optimum views towards the Red Sea. The client’s main requirements were to create exceptional living spaces to raise living standards and target aspiring professionals.

The Vue’s design concept evolved from the idea that the overall design of the tower

could be a direct reflection of the variety of residences within. The voids created would then be a direct result of the function of the floor plans, forming a dynamic and intriguing façade. Framing elements emphasise the voids with no two floors being alike.

This design provided a forward-thinking and distinctive aesthetic which was successful in creating exclusivity and variety, providing exceptional places to live, work and relax. Its exclusive amenities for residents include a club room, cinema, male and female gym and spas with private outdoor ‘Miami style’ roof top swimming pools, designed to respect residents’ privacy and cultural needs. Additionally, it features a cigar room in which residents can entertain guests as well as a tea room for smaller, more informal events.

AVG provides a full range of services: from architecture and design concept to full realisation of projects with maximum levels of difficulty. The company implements the latest design and architecture trends, promoting ideas of ‘biopositive’ areas at the roof of mixeduse and residential complexes, combining the functionality of objects with a unique and memorable design of luxury apartments, private residences, offices, hotels, residential complexes, malls or industrial facilities. The name AVG refers to the most significant real estate projects of Ukraine.

Lavina Mall is a prime, award-winning example of these trends in Kyiv, featuring 500 trading areas and an entertainment

complex of 20,000m². The transformation of an old, empty hangar into a modern shopping and entertainment centre provided quite a challenge. All elements, zones and blocks were designed to be united by a single idea, taking into account the business objectives of the future centre and reflecting the philosophy implied in the name ‘Lavina’ which means avalanche. This incorporates the themes of air, water, ice and snow in the design concept, interpreted in a futuristic way.

One of AVG Group’s main tasks was to combine the idea of the natural avalanche element with the project’s entertainment centre which is named ‘Galaxy’. Therefore, the overall goal was to create a uniquely designed shopping and entertainment centre that corresponds to the status of the largest retail project in Ukraine in terms of both retail zones and overall space.

Segreti Design’s Contemporary Kleinburg Residence is an award-winning private residence in Toronto, Canada. The client brief was to create a contemporary home that exhibited grandeur as well as the unexpected. Feature spaces within the home therefore became the great room, kitchen and the master bedroom with its en suite bathroom and dressing room.

Customised artwork for the great room was large scale and impressive, to provide impact as a feature wall. A contemporary sectional sofa, unique custom chandelier, a book matched

marble fireplace as well as other accessories to complement this feeling of splendour. The clients requested a touch of seafoam green for their master suite which would remind them of the turquoise water at their winter Miami home. This was expressed through the use of custom mosaics with an iridescence that reflect the light beautifully.

The colour palette was primarily a neutral grey and white with an emphasis on white marble and light-coloured walls. There were several unique customised elements in this residence, from the curved rotunda walls to the colourful art glass which cascades like a vine of flowers up the stair hall.

Kleinburg Residence displays all of Segreti Designs’ signature forward-thinking elements that will allow this property to carry forward with its timeless beauty for years to come.

A bespoke home, both inside and out, Ridout Road features architecture and interior design by Design Intervention. The property in Singapore was inherited by a couple and their two teenage daughters and, although the site is beautiful, the building was very dilapidated. Design Intervention demolished the house and created a new family home; contemporary in design and full of light, it maximises the fabulous views. Inside, pops of colour enliven the décor and add energy and

vitality without overwhelming the rooms. The wife is an amateur artist and so her love of artistic effects is reflected in many of the soft furnishing choices.

Singapore Winevault is a new wine tasting, restaurant and entertainment concept within a rooftop oasis in West Singapore. As its location is far outside the city centre, Design Intervention had to ensure that its interior design would entice guests to make the journey.

The client brief was to create the ambience of an American mountain lodge – the challenge was to rework a look associated with snowcovered terrains and blend it seamlessly into lush, tropical Singapore. The result is a mash-up of two seemingly opposing design themes in a striking yet harmonious manner.

Solar House is a modern home in the Toronto neighbourhood of Forest Hill Village.

Meeting complex regulations, a solar panel; system was installed to maximise solar harvest without appearing obtrusive. The property’s resulting architectural design enhances the life of its residents by containing an impressive array of spaces which combine natural materials with a strong connection to the surroundings. It also sensitively contributes to the streetscape while

pointing the way to a modern design approach, both in its immediate neighbourhood and in the city as a whole.

Urban Villa is a contemporary home with a basement level three-car garage, also located in Forest Hill Village. Makow Architects created the driveway down the left side of the house into the basement, in order to achieve a symmetrical, unified and classical façade typical of the original homes which characterise this neighbourhood. The company also designed the architectural interiors, enabling a full coordination of the flow and proportions of spaces inside. Harmonising windows, interior and exterior materials, the play of light, space and surface is evident in each room.

Every detail in the house and garden is fully integrated in the design process with every element being part of a unified whole.

 R A is a leading Brazilian architectural practice. The company’s awardwinning property Casa Mar is located on the Ilhabela archipelago in the state of Sao Paulo.

Designed to be open to the landscape, the home’s basic aim is to show great respect for its beautiful surroundings.

Its concept has been inspired by the contrast and blend of tones seen in traditional Brazilian Colonial architecture. Clearly dividing the building into different blocks which are clearly defined by their usage, Casa Mar’s varying planes and angles add to its optimal insulation and natural ventilation.

A central and imposing area of concrete hosts the outdoor leisure and alfresco dining

area. It also serves to separate the social and intimate areas into two other distinct volumes, one at each end. The social area features a balcony with decking covered by a pergola for internal shading and appears to ‘float’ on the mountainside.

At the other end, the intimate area of the property has been coated with massive clay bricks to help moderate internal temperature.

It contains four bedroom suites, one of which is the master located above the others. All suites have access to decks and a large garden. With Casa Mar, Renato Rossi has created a stunning property with an internal environment that literally projects itself out into the landscape and offers fabulous views of both the mountain and the ocean.

The office is committed to producing high quality performative architecture. The company takes pride in using advanced design processes to challenge the way in which the built environment is generated. Its award-winning project ‘Yacht House’ is ideally located on a state-of-the-art, artificial island surrounded by a marina.

Ocean Reef comprises two of the first residential man-made islands in Latin America. An exclusive community interconnected by a bridge, it will contain just 138 waterfront residential lots with views of the Gulf of Panama and the city’s skyline.

Yacht House was for PODA a challenge to

create an elegant, avant-garde and unique residential building to redefine the meaning of modern luxury living. Comprising four residential units with one per floor, the building’s rooftop has minimum covered spaces in order to maximise the views.

The design evolved through many stages, eventually taking its inspiration from a superyacht. This was not solely in the morphology but also through the process involved in the building’s design, in which form and aesthetics intrinsically respond to the performance and environment itself.

The building’s elegant, double-curved metal façade is made by an advanced cladding system. This will create a distinctive and unique architectural identity that resembles the hull of a superyacht, while also helping to maximise shadows, privacy and security.

  P, Mexico in 2012, Proyecto Cafeina specialises in provocative architecture that generates intense emotions and sensations through consistent quality and integral design. Casa Ibarra is a prime, award-winning example in Puebla’s historic downtown, an area listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The building dates all the way back to the 16th century and is surrounded by the city’s important heritage monuments.

Proyecto Cafeina’s renovation of Casa Ibarra proved challenging as it had to be undertaken with a great deal of respect given to the building’s historical background. Most of the invaluable colonial wall paintings located throughout the house were delicately restored while old and new elements of the design were carefully contrasted and differentiated.

Cassa Ibarra now comprises nine residential apartments and two retail spaces.

The materials chosen respond accordingly to the house by incorporating a mix of colonial colours, stripped materials and black steel in some elements. These areas include the stairs and mid-level floors that provide a contemporary and timeless appearance to the interiors. Certain original walls have been left exposed and illuminated by downlights so that the stonework can be fully appreciated.

The interior design reflects the historic nature of the property while introducing some contemporary features such as lighting and furniture. A few of the original wooden beams have also been innovatively reassigned in order to be used as lamps, window frames and bathroom furniture.

DXARQ ’s priority was to generate green spaces between the housing blocks, thus fostering the quality of the space and varying their use. By arranging the project in concentric rings, part of the public space can be treated as a private space. This provides each unit with its own garden, stressing the concept of a concentric ring: a garden inside another garden. Inspired from the outset by the idea of merging the architecture with its surroundings, Espacio Las Cavas succeeds in harmoniously merging indoor living spaces with the outdoors.

Each one features 24-30 condominiums and penthouses, forming an architectural masterpiece that takes on a different light at various times of the day, depending on the vantage point.

it represents the only project in Laval-SurLe-Lac that enables buyers to embrace the high-end condo lifestyle. Its Bauhaus-inspired design features generous proportions and the judicious use of glass, steel, wood and slate which all come together to great effect.

Amenities include a heated indoor infinity pool, gym equipment and a private lounge, while landscaped grounds transition into the surrounding natural landscape.

The four-phase project is supported by an extensive strategic marketing plan which includes a series of launch events in collaboration with other renowned brands and famous personalities. This has so far resulted in brisk sales of phases one and two, while phase three sales are more than two years ahead of projections.

The Courtyard House features architecture and award-winning interior design by Atelier SUN. This new 3,000 square feet, two-storey detached home is located in the East York region of Toronto. The client’s brief was for a modern yet cosy environment in which his family which includes two new-born babies could grow. While it had to be suitable for family gatherings and entertaining, it also had to serve as a peaceful and enjoyable living space for daily life.

The design creates a unique spatial relationship between each functional space.

A beautiful indoor courtyard with a double height ceiling brings greenness, light and shadow inside the house while at the same time connects all rooms together. A series of landscaping and bamboo further integrates the outdoors with the indoors.

Although using everyday materials to remain within the client’s budget, the designer has turned them into unique details tailored to the design concept. A balance between white oak and a rough concrete finish with a touch of brass and black marble provides the space with a warm and natural feeling. The resulting space provides a unique living space and enhances the interaction between its users and nature.

Bosque Real Residence is in Huixquilucan, Mexico and consists of two towers of 40 storeys each. It includes one level of penthouses with 164 apartments in total, five levels of basement parking and three motor lobbies. Between the towers is a three-storey clubhouse offering a full range of resident amenities. All apartments face the golf course and have spacious terraces extending their living space.

From its inception, Mayakoba was conceived as a resort development to enhance its natural environment. Within this beautiful location, Rosewood Residences Mayakoba is a collection

of ultra-luxurious residences in the middle of a lagoon surrounded by jungle. Inspiration for this project came from the desire to offer a full appreciation of the outside from inside.

Hence, the beauty of nature flows through wide windows into open spaces, creating an experience of being immersed in nature.

Barrio Santa Fe is a linear project which members of the public may use with or without charge. It includes a host of leisure amenities such as restaurants, cafes, bars, cinemas, museums and aparthotels with leisure amenities. There are five single-level modules located along the length of a walkway, allowing passers-by to transit between each of them and generating enjoyable spaces. These volumes are half buried in the natural terrain with green roofs, giving the illusion of emanating from the ground itself.

The 22-storey, twin building development has a phased construction programme and consists of 125,000m² of office space.

Retail and public spaces are arranged at the base while parking is provided in a five-level basement with dedicated ramps serving both buildings. The design has carefully considered the hierarchy of public, semipublic, semi-private and private areas in a seamless progression. Access to both buildings is via a central public plaza and each building’s lobby is at the first floor. This

serves to leave the ground floor open for public functions.

The development has been designed to achieve LEED ASHRAE Gold certification and has currently been pre-certified Gold.

Responding to the local tropical climate, an enhanced, self-shading strategy has been established with the building elevations. All the principal open-air public circulation and amenity spaces have also been provided with effective sun and rain protection.

Today, AQWA Corporate stands alone as the forward-looking anchor of Rio de Janeiro’s port revitalisation efforts.

Its launch made the development lead the market of the Russian capital’s expensive housing in early 2017. It also marked the transition to the next stage of high-rise construction for the city.

Neskuchny Home & Spa is the city’s first residential sky-scraper project of such an exciting scale, rational idea and development ambitions. For the first time in many years the attention of buyers of high-rise, high-class residences has shifted from the city’s business

district to one of the locations of the Leninsky Avenue and historic Don district, a favourite for many generations of Muscovites.

The site area totals 5.6 hectares and the construction of five towers with a height from 140 to 262 metres is divided into five stages. The first, which comprises the highest tower, will be fully operational in mid-2020, while the whole complex is planned for completion in 2023.

In one of the bridges between the towers the space between the 35-39th levels is given to the spa complex. This has an area of 2,000m² with a personal zone, fresh-bar and an exclusive for Moscow high-rise, panoramic swimming pool with ionized water. This will be the only swimming pool of its kind in Russia as well as being located at a height of 130 metres.

Tiripebi Str. 2, 0159 Tbilisi, Georgia

 G T is a cooperative project of Lisi Development with UN Studio. The 11-storey tower contains 32 apartments (from 85m² to 200m²), three retail units and a residents’ underground car park.

All apartments enjoy spectacular views over the Mtkvari River valley and the growing city of Tbilisi. The building, with its integrated connection to the new green plaza, will be the architectural anchor and new landmark of the Lisi Green Town. The extensive use of glass, natural materials and a controlled shading system of terraces, ensures that all requirements for comfortable living are integrated in the project.

The apartments’ elevator lobbies and entrance area are linked to the double height interior and exterior verandas. These are planted to create sky gardens and shared spaces for interaction among neighbours.

Furthermore, the lighting scheme of the sky gardens subtly changes with the seasons.

The tower is a stacked volumetric composition of vertical villas arranged to enable the surrounding natural landscape and terraces to blend into a new integrated manifesto of living. This results in unique personalised interior spaces and also creates a new indoor/ outdoor experience. The building is vertically divided to enable visual separation between apartments and interrupt its volume along the central design element of vertical verandas.

The design concept is based on a combination of the local and traditional Georgian ‘veranda’ approach and smart living solutions. By using verandas as spaces for interaction, the anonymous boundaries of a multi-storied apartment complex disappear.

The essence of the design is to create neighbourhoods in the sky, connecting people through architecture and social sustainability.

The perceived gap in the market was for a properly managed, service-based multicultural and multilingual, local and international estate agent. Within the French estate agency sector, this formed a unique proposition. Almost everyone in the market at that time was either a UK based ‘introducer’, a local mono-language high street agent, or a loose affiliation of independent ‘sales people’.

This concept has grown from one shop to 11 over the ensuing years, now employing

120 people within their local communities. A ‘central’ support team is shared around these offices to maintain a sense of connection with the business. While a few agencies have attempted to copy Beaux Villages, several have chosen to join it with the company now working in partnership with others.

The company’s internet prowess and a genuinely global marketing presence plus the stability and security of Beaux Villages’ physical presence of offices in France, proves immensely popular. Subsequent reinvestment has resulted in consistent top line growth averaging 20% per year. By providing a full range of services in whatever language is required, Beaux Villages offers its clients the ability to design their own route to sale or purchase and beyond.
