WELCOME

n this March/April issue, we delve into a variety of captivating narratives that all orbit around the fundamental question of what makes a property truly exceptional. While it is often thought that location is the primary factor, our curated selection demonstrates that there’s far more to the equation.

From the sun-kissed shores of Aruba to the glitzy skyline of Dubai, our stories explore the nuances that contribute to the desirability of purchasing property in these sought-after

locales. Garrick Hasham of Aruba Sotheby’s International and Aileen Kelly and Jennifer Figaroa of Bold Properties Aruba provide invaluable insights into the property market dynamics, shedding light on trends that are bringing buyers out in droves.

Our Dubai property feature unveils an exciting collaboration between Binghatti Properties and Mercedes-Benz, a project that exemplifies innovation and extravagance in equal measure. This feature, I should note, is both a testament to our enduring fascination with groundbreaking ventures and a reminder of the unexpected synergies that can arise when industry leaders join forces.

Consequently, I’ve long had an immense admiration for those who push the boundaries of conventional real estate, and no one should ignore the importance of these developments in shaping the landscape of high-end living. As you peruse these articles, don’t forget to appreciate the pieces that capture the intersection of design, innovation, and lifestyle - they achieved this in a way that feels intentional and thoughtful.

In addition to our property features, we invite you to explore our Finery section, where we showcase a selection of beautiful jewellery, as well as our Luxe coffee tables collection, adding an extra touch of sophistication to your living spaces.

MAGI C MARYLEBONNE

Discover the enchantment of refined living in the heart of Marylebone

stablishing itself as a distinguished symbol of refined living within London’s real estate arena, Marylebone commands attention. The allure of this central London village is further enhanced by commentary from real estate experts, Liam Monaghan and Dylan James, who shed light on the factors shaping the property landscape in the area.

Liam Monaghan, Managing Director at London Central Portfolio, emphasises Marylebone’s unique position, “Bordering Mayfair and in the very centre of London.” He attributes its appeal to the success of its vibrant High Street, a bustling hub of cocktail bars, designer shops, and gourmet establishments. Liam paints a picture of an enclave with a “lovely village community feel”, boasting world-class art galleries and an internationally renowned concert hall. Furthermore, the proximity to the picturesque Regent’s Park adds a verdant charm to Marylebone’s already irresistible appeal.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, Marylebone has emerged not only unscathed but with a touch of resilience. Liam notes that it fared better than some of its neighbours, experiencing growth since March 2020.

The pandemic-induced lifestyle shift has steered buyers toward areas with vibrant high streets and ample green spaces. As a result, Marylebone has become a magnet for both homebuyers and renters, solidifying its status as an attractive investment destination for high-net-worth individuals.

Key to Marylebone’s desirability is its impeccable blend of amenities and accessibility, as outlined by Liam. The iconic Marylebone High Street, adorned with exclusive designer shops, is a testament to the area’s understated luxury. Proximity to the West End, with its theatres and nightlife, further enhances its appeal. The neighbourhood is superbly connected with multiple tube stations, including the bustling hubs of Baker Street and Bond Street. For families, the presence of good schools nearby significantly adds to the area’s desirability.

In contrast, Dylan James, Sales Director for Hyde Park and Marylebone at Chestertons, underscores the medical district centred around Harley Street as a major draw for professionals and patients alike. “Tenants will take out leases just to be close to Harley Street for their treatment,” he remarks. Marylebone’s trendy locations, such as Chiltern Street and Chiltern Firehouse, coupled with its affordability compared to Mayfair, further amplify its appeal.

Dylan delves into the recent market dynamics, acknowledging a temporary dip in prices according to Lonres.com’s data but expressing optimism. “With interest rates likely to drop this year, this should bring further confidence to the market, and we should see Marylebone having a better year than it did last year,” he predicts.

In terms of infrastructure, Dylan highlights crucial elements such as Baker Street Station, Marylebone High Street, Chiltern Firehouse, and the green

expanse of Regent’s Park. Ongoing investments from the Portman Estate and Howard De Walden contribute to making Marylebone not just a place to live but a desirable haven.

As the future prospects of Marylebone’s real estate market come into view, both experts foresee a continuing ascent. Liam Monaghan notes an attractive opportunity for opportunistic buyers with prices still standing below their 2015 peak. Dylan James assures investors that Marylebone is a “safe investment” and predicts a brighter future, fuelled by ongoing investments in the medical district and the unwavering commitment of major landlords.

“The iconic Marylebone High Street, adorned with exclusive designer shops like La Fromagerie and The Ginger Pig, is a testament to the area’s understated luxury.”

CONCORD LONDON

Introducing a trio of landmark developments in W1

Known for its distinguished heritage and appeal, it’s no surprise that London’s W1 postcode continues to be one of the most sought-after locations in the city. However, new residences are a rarity. Now, the leading prime central developer, Concord London, is introducing three landmark addresses and bringing a fresh residential offering to the neighbourhood. This initiative builds on its 30-year legacy for development in and around Marylebone.

THE RESIDENCES OF MARYLEBONE SQUARE

Transforming a previously unused site, empty since the 1960s, Concord London has introduced the first new city block to Marylebone in approximately 50 years with the completion of Marylebone Square. Now a new world-class mixed-use address, it comprises just 54 apartments and penthouses that bring modern living and style to the heart of Marylebone.

Homes are arranged around a unique inner courtyard with a central atrium garden, distinguishing it from other developments. The interior courtyard is exquisitely landscaped to create an area of serenity for residents, featuring curated landscaping for year-round colour and interest, along with an elliptical pond. Naturally ventilated, the internal courtyard maintains a constant stream of fresh air, with a series of breezeways offering direct access to each apartment.

www.marylebonesquare.com

Prices start from £2,660,000

In an elegant contrast to its historical foundations, residences are designed for the 21st century with the highest specifications and design standards. They boast spacious open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling glazing and sliding glass doors, creating spaces filled with natural light, perfect for both entertaining and everyday life.

DISCOVER W1 PLACE: A REFUGE IN THE HEART OF MARYLEBONE

Close by, at the meeting point of Marylebone and Fitzrovia, is W1 Place, which is establishing a new cornerstone at Great Portland Street and Carburton Street with a bespoke collection of just 37 beautiful apartments and charming new street frontage.

Sensitively honouring the local architectural landscape, its bright, Portland stone facade features lantern bay windows and cast aluminium balustrades. Completing later this year and spanning eight storeys, the collection of one-to threebedroom apartments has been carefully curated to ensure uncompromised layouts, light-filled open-plan interiors, and impressive ceiling heights – making them ideally placed for those seeking a true retreat in the capital.

Prices start from £1,515,000

THE LEGACY CONTINUES WITH HAMPDEN HOUSE

Most recently – and as the latest demonstration of its commitment to delivering the most desirable addresses in Marylebone – Concord London has acquired Hampden House, a historic building occupying a prominent corner position at the eastern junction of Weymouth Street and Hallam Street.

Originally constructed between 1914 and 1917, Concord London’s vision is to transform the striking seven-storey building into a modernised residential address fit for 21st-century luxury living, yet with design and architecture sensitive to its surroundings, local neighbours, and the wider Marylebone community.

Located in the Harley Street Conservation Area and just minutes from Regent’s Park, the building sits in the heart of Marylebone and features an impressive, attractive facade of Portland Stone along Weymouth Street and a combination of red brick and limestone along Hallam Street.

ondon has long been a magnet for those attracted to a luxurious city getaway. And undoubtedly, one of the most recognisable fixtures within that pull is London Hilton on Park Lane. A hotel with all the trimmings of a sanctuary tucked amidst bustling streets.

But checking in to London Hilton on Park Lane is not just about retreating to your room; it’s about indulging in the gastronomic delights offered by its world-class restaurants.

Transformative Lifestyle

Recovery

Mindfulness

Jesse Waits

Situated amidst the tranquil beauty of Bali, 11-11 harnesses the island’s innate allure for holistic rejuvenation. Bali, renowned for its yoga, meditation, and nature retreats, becomes the canvas for their masterpiece – members can indulge in rejuvenating spa therapies, then sip freshly pressed juices while watching the sunset over the Indian Ocean.

Gabriel, one of the partners and Jesse’s son, leverages his background in kinesiology, sports nutrition, and personal training to offer valuable insights into tailoring personalized fitness journeys. “Bali is the perfect place to pioneer this wellness community focused on all aspects of health, backed by the highest quality hospitality services my father has established his career on,” says Gabriel.

Bringing Five-Star Wellness to Paradise:

11•11 Private Social Club

Jesse Waits, a luminary of hospitality excellence, has spent over three decades reshaping luxury in the vibrant realm of Las Vegas. With a career marked by collaborations with visionaries like Steve Wynn and Lorenzo Fertitta, he has mastered the art of crafting unforgettable destinations and experiences that leave guests spellbound.

Now, Waits ventures into the captivating enclave of Uluwatu, accompanied by his son Gabriel, to set an unprecedented standard for opulent wellness.

The fruition of a two-year collaboration between father and son, 11-11 Private Social Club promises to provide amenities tailored to foster whole-body wellbeing. The complex, which also houses a hotel on its grounds, will integrate state-of-the-art fitness, luxury spa facilities, and a roster of holistic programs led by expert practitioners.

Facilities will include a rooftop pool and infrared rooms for pilates and yoga. Cold plunge pools provide hydrotherapy, while the luxury spa offers rejuvenating, relaxing treatments. Expert-led wellness programs will guide guests through techniques for reduced stress, improved sleep, mood enhancement, and establishing a healthier mindset.

Delicious, expertly prepared food will be on offer, too. The on-site farm-to-table restaurant will allow members to easily maintain high-nutrient diets with menu options personalised to individual needs by nutrition coaches. This integrative approach is intended to create an ecosystem where members can look after their health and well-being while relaxing in luxury.

As construction commences, anticipation builds towards November 2025 – a date earmarked for the grand unveiling of this unparalleled sanctuary. A vision decades in the making, Jesse Waits’ legacy of hospitality excellence finds a new expression in Bali, promising an experience that transcends all expectations.

The vision Jesse Waits has cultivated over 30 years will soon arrive in this serene tropical setting, delivering a truly world-class well-being experience. Just what one would expect when Las Vegas service royalty comes to Bali.

www.11-11bali.com | www.theparalian.com

Central to the duo’s vision is cultivating connection through member-only social spaces, from sharing fresh, organic meals to mingling in the private lounge. “We want to create a private social club focused on the highest levels of physical, spiritual, and emotional wellness,” shares Jesse. “Every aspect is tailored to nourish mind, body, and soul”.

Generations of Success

A Father and Son Forge Their Path

Below, Jesse, Gabriel, and Lana Waits share insights on the 11•11 Private Social Club vision

Q: Can you speak on this exclusive location with the Private Members Club?

Jesse: We wanted to create a controlled environment, as we have observed how popular places sometimes lose their integrity when just anyone can get in. Being close personal friends with owners of big private clubs in London and New York, and witnessing their success and rapid growth, inspired us to create an exclusive location for the Private Members Club. We have already started accepting our founding members, with the first round limited to like-minded friends, celebrities, influential people, and professional athletes.

Q: Gabriel, how did you discover your passion for wellness and what inspired you?

Gabriel: I initially began my career as a firefighter but discovered that my true passion lies in body science. I studied for several years, earning degrees in kinesiology, and obtained multiple certifications in nutrition and training. My father and I always discussed opening a gym together, and 11-11 represents the evolution of wellness, recovery, and strength.

Q: How do you envision the future of the 11-11 project?

Jesse: Our plan is to scale 11-11 by establishing three locations in Bali and expanding to Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, America, and Ibiza, Spain. We believe these places are all wellness hubs with progressive and conscious health cultures. With our current founding members of the Private Members Program, we anticipate rapid growth and the creation of a powerful brand.

Q: Lana, you seem to be a driving force behind this project. Can you tell us more?

Lana: It has always been my dream to achieve success in life while supporting my husband and our family. We have great confidence that we will achieve immense success with 11-11.

Q: Please provide more information about buying a hotel condo at 11-11 and the fractional ownership program.

Jesse: Our hotel condos start at $445,000 USD, and our fractional ownership program starts at $70,000 USD. By purchasing a condo or participating in our fractional ownership program, you will own a piece of paradise and become part of one of the most exclusive resorts available.

BEYOND the Beach

Navigating the booming property market in Aruba

he island of Aruba, with its turquoise waters and sun-kissed beaches, is not just a tropical paradise for vacationers but a golden opportunity for astute property investors. Garrick Hasham, Sales Associate at Aruba Sotheby’s International, and Aileen Kelly and Jennifer Figaroa, Brokers at Bold Properties Aruba share further insights.

“In recent years,” Garrick begins, “Aruba’s property market has experienced a notable shift, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.” The crescendo of this shift is the surge in vacation rentals and short-term accommodations. Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO have not only played a pivotal role but have opened a new avenue for property owners to capitalise on the increasing demand. The draw for investors lies in the dual promise of breathtaking beaches and the island’s reputation for a remote work-friendly environment.

Yet, this wave of interest isn’t just a flash in the pan. Aileen Kelly and Jennifer Figaroa seamlessly pick up the narrative, revealing that beachfront condos are the premier travel trend, offering a carefree lifestyle and easy property management. According to Aileen and Jennifer, “with prices steadily increasing at 3-5% annually, these condos offer investment potential for all budgets, from $450,000 to $7 million.”

The spotlight then shifts to the types of properties dominating Aruba’s real estate stage. Beachfront homes, condominiums, and vacation rentals take centre stage. Garrick

emphasises the desirability of beachfront homes, providing direct access to stunning beaches and ocean views. Aileen and Jennifer chime in, highlighting that “beachfront homes are a rare treasure in high demand, particularly in Noord district, the rising star of seaside living.”

Garrick’s revelation about the surge in luxury resort development, with the St. Regis and the Secrets hotel leading the way, seamlessly integrates with Aileen and Jennifer’s narrative. They emphasise that Aruba’s charm isn’t just about the beaches but also about the emerging gems in Oranjestad, poised for a traveller’s dream with stylish condos, fresh malls, dining, and entertainment. Navigating through Aruba’s legal landscape, Garrick shares that foreign buyers face no specific restrictions and can own property with a process identical to Aruban citizens, with the only difference being a 180-day stay limit per calendar year.

This seamless integration continues as Aileen and Jennifer smoothly transition into the legal process, showcasing how every property sale involves a local Civil Law Notary, ensuring a breeze for investors. In terms of incentives, Aileen and Jennifer present Aruba’s benefits, including visa-free living, stable economic conditions, low property taxes, and the potential for a steady rental income stream. They paint a picture of Aruba as a sanctuary with diverse culture, cuisine, and the freedom to escape the daily grind.

The grand finale is Garrick’s emphasis on Aruba’s location outside the hurricane belt, which seamlessly integrates with Aileen and Jennifer’s anticipation of exciting developments in Oranjestad and San Nicolas, predicting strong demand in Noord and the potential for a surge in property values.

LOS ANGELES

Sandra Miller Licence Partner

n the vibrant realm of Los Angeles real estate scene, the landscape mirrors the starstudded glamour of its iconic Hollywood boulevards. Sandra Miller, License Partner at Engel & Völkers Santa Monica, sheds light on the city’s property market, revealing insights to navigate the glittering avenues and panoramic views of the City of Angels.

As the curtains rise on LA’s property market, Sandra Miller sets the stage, noting, “Prices have remained steady or increased over the past year.”

Sandra paints a vivid picture of LA’s charm, emphasising its Pacific embrace and year-round sunshine. “The Pacific Ocean and all the activities that go with it,” she remarks, “from beautiful beaches to sailing and water sports.” The city’s diverse recreational palette includes hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains, beachside biking, and exploring the vast expanse of Griffith Park. Sporting enthusiasts revel in the Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, and Rams. Sandra underlines LA’s vibrant cultural mosaic, including film premieres and celebrity sightings, declaring, “LA is the entertainment capital of the world.”

“Both short- and long-term leases in Los Angles can produce significant income.”

For the discerning buyer, luxury in LA is defined by specific features. Sandra elaborates, “Privacy first and foremost, views – coastline, ocean, city, or canyon, expansive outdoor entertaining areas, comfortable home theatres, great indoor-outdoor flow, and the latest trend we are seeing is the ultimate home spa.” These amenities echo the city’s penchant for blending lifestyle with luxury seamlessly.

Investing in LA’s market requires a keen understanding of value. Sandra advises, “This is a market where sellers have aspirational prices which are often quite different than what the property ultimately trades for.” Navigating this landscape demands a strategic approach, with investors keeping a finger on the pulse of the ever-evolving market dynamics.

When it comes to rental potential, LA’s properties shine on the global stage. Sandra reveals, “Both shortand long-term leases in Los Angeles can produce significant income.” For the crème de la crème residences in Hollywood Hills or Malibu, monthly leases can soar to staggering heights, ranging from $200,000 to $500,000 during peak times, creating an attractive investment avenue for those with premier properties.

Peering into the crystal ball, Sandra projects a robust future for LA’s real estate. “The property market will continue to be robust in Los Angeles,” she affirms, pointing to its global appeal and the perpetual charm of prime locations. As the curtain falls on this real estate narrative, one thing is clear: in LA, the stage is set for an encore of opulent living.

DALLAS

ver wondered why people gravitate towards Dallas, Texas? It certainly has a magnetic force that shapes its real estate landscape. In conversation with Roxann Taylor, License Partner at Engel & Völkers Dallas South, we delve into the intricacies of Dallas’ property market.

The burning question: What defines the current state of highend real estate in Dallas? Let’s unravel the secrets within the city’s exclusive residences.

According to Roxann, “The inventory of the property market is very tight at the moment.” This scarcity hints at the high demand for exclusive residences in this vibrant city. The charm of Dallas, however, goes beyond just its real estate market.

Dallas, with its sprawling urban and suburban landscapes, caters to diverse lifestyles, offering choices galore to its approximately 12 million residents. Roxann highlights, “We have everything: from the glitzy lifestyle of Dallas with its four professional sports teams to the Stockyards of Fort Worth where Yellowstone starts.” This variety ensures that Dallas appeals to a broad spectrum of tastes, preferences, and budget ranges.

As an area of contemporary living, properties in Dallas boast modern designs set on spacious plots of land ranging from half to a full acre. Roxann points out some sought-after features: “Modern style, awesome landscaping, large garages for car collections, and beautiful outdoor living spaces.” For many affluent buyers, the preference leans towards gated properties, offering an added layer of exclusivity. Premium amenities like golf courses add to the charm, making these residences not just homes but lifestyle statements.

For investors eyeing the property market in Dallas, Roxann notes a significant trend. “We have many individuals relocating to Dallas due to the great quality of life and great investment potentials.” The city’s appeal extends beyond its real estate; it

encompasses a high quality of life and a conducive environment for prosperous investments.

When asked about the future prospects of the property market in Dallas, Roxann states, “The prospects for Dallas are bright: Everything is bigger in Texas, and growing very quickly, so is the property market.” Dallas is a city in constant evolution, mirroring the larger-than-life Texan spirit, making it an attractive destination for those seeking not just a house, but a home in a community that thrives on growth and opportunity.

GALLERY GLIMPSES

Andrea Marechal Watson looks at shows in Berlin, Brussels, London, Washington and Aix-en-Provence in a year of anniversaries

The emergence of the Surrealist movement 100 years ago is among this year’s important centenaries.

To celebrate, the Centre Pompidou has conceived an ambitious touring exhibition – IMAGINE! 110 Years of International Surrealism that will honour the core of Surrealism’s best known exponents – Dalí & Co – while also exploring the fringes. Each museum that participates will highlight local heritage and connections to the movement.

In the case of Brussels, the Royal Museums have chosen to explore Surrealism’s origins in the Symbolist movement through more than 130 works of art including paintings, works on paper, sculptures and photographs.

Symbolist was one of the most important precursors of the Surrealist movement and it was particularly strongly rooted in Belgium. Like its younger offshoot, the symbolist artists and writers dwelt in the realms of fantasy, metaphor and allegory as well as the subconscious, the world of dreams, and the imagination.

The movement developed rapidly in late 19th century Belgium, where its exponents included Jean Deville and Felicien Rops. Within 30 years, Brussels became a center for Belgian Surrealism and despite the cultural rupture caused by World War I, the older Symbolists and emerging generation of Surrealists remained close.

After Brussels and Paris, the exhibition will travel to Hamburg, Madrid and Philadelphia.

Until 21st July at the Royal Museums, Belgium, Brussels.

Pierre Bonnard Musee d’Orsay, Paris

BONNARD and JAPAN

Referring to a group of French painters, the poet Henri Cazalis coined the term ‘Nabis’, from the Hebrew for ‘prophet’. The best known of them are Gauguin, Vuillard and Bonnard and – like the prophets of old – Cazalis felt they pointed the way to the future.

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) who assimilated the Far Eastern aesthetics then in great fashion was also dubbed the ‘very Japanese Nabi.’

Bonnard divided his time between Paris and the Cote d’Azur where he bought a house. Here, under the golden Mediterranean sun he painted the pleasures of country life in vibrant works that explore the infinite variations of colour and light but subjected, unlike the Impressionists, to spatial treatments inspired by the vibrant Japanese prints of the ‘floating world’ (Ukiyo-e) which he had seen in Paris in 1890. Marked by fluid movement, sinuous lines and the flattening of space, Bonnard immediately became a preeminent exponent of the craze for ‘japonisme’. Released from realism, he wrote: “ I understood from my contact with these crude popular images that colour could express anything...without the need for relief or modelling. It seemed to me that it was possible to convey light, form and character with colour alone.”

This small exhibition at a niche art centre in the south of France brings together works that show how his affinity to Japanese works played out in his compositions.

From May 3rd to 6th October at the Hotel de Caumont, Aix-en-Provence, France.

RICHTER IN SWITZERLAND

At the grand age of 92, Gerhard Richter continues to delight and baffle the art world with new output and inventions.

Richter first vacationed in the Swiss Alps in the 1980s and has revisited the area ever since. His fascination for Upper Engadin has been recorded in paintings, photographs and drawings which are now on show at three local galleries. On view at the Segantini Museum and Hauser & Wirth St Moritz are paintings that Richter created from photographs taken during his hikes. The works mark a new chapter in his landscape painting – a genre that has always appealed to Richter who cites Romantics such as David Caspar Friedrich (see below) among the precursors of his own melancholic and atmospheric works.

The Upper Engadin photos became canvases for Richter’s well known experimentation with layering, scraping and mixing media to produce palimpsests full of enigma and ambiguity.

Until August 31st at Hauser & Wirth, St Moritz, Switzerland.

INFINITE LANDSCAPES

Expect to hear a lot more of Caspar David Friedrich as a year long celebration of his birth in 1774 gets underway. In Berlin, the Alte Nationalgalerie has dedicated its rooms to the most prominent painter of the German Romantic movement with 60 paintings and 50 drawings that include iconic works, such as Woman at a Window.

CDF did not have an easy life and his paintings mirror the many hardships of childhood, marriage and old age. Born into a struggling family, the deaths of several siblings bred a melancholy from which he never escaped: seeing his 13-year-old brother fall through the ice of a frozen lake and drown the worst of these bereavements. Nature for him became both a source of anxiety and of solace – he was said to have discovered “the tragedy of landscape.”

Even at the happiest of times, such as the early years of his marriage, many of Friedrich’s works exude loneliness and a sense of nature’s latent hostility.

For all too brief a period, Friedrich enjoyed success and found patronage but even during his time his paintings were largely seen as curiosities, strange semi-religious, even pagan, expressions of faith. “See your picture first with the spiritual eye,” he once advised.

Only one landscape was reproduced in print, so not surprisingly Friedrich fell into almost complete obscurity until, unluckily, Hitler named him as one of Germany’s foremost artists, a fact which only further damaged his reputation.

At the turn of the 20th century, Friedrich was rediscovered by the Symbolists, who adored the visionary and symbolic landscapes which are his legacy. Berlin played a major role in rehabilitating the artist’s reputation and today is home to the world’s largest collections of Friedrich’s paintings.

From Muse to Painter

Discover the little-known Italian painter called simply ‘Pasquarosa’ in a little known collection of Italian art in the heart of Bloomsbury. One critic has said that walking into this show at the Estorick Collection in Bloomsbury was like watching a summer sun come up in midwinter such is the warmth of colour and vigour of brushwork.

Pasquarosa Marcelli (1896–1973) has been largely forgotten but she was in her day quite exceptional. She was one of the first Italian artists to have a solo exhibition in London in the 1920s at the Arlington Gallery, which not coincidentally was run by a woman who exhibited lesser known artists often spurned by the major galleries. In general, female painters fell into this category.

A century after that show, the Fauvist-style painter Pasquarosa returns to the London capital with 50

Neapolitan Still Life Pasquarosa, c1954-56

Oil on Masonite

of her paintings and drawings on loan from Italian private collections, giving a chance to reassess her oeuvre.

Her story has many threads in common with other women painters of the past, not least that she began her career as an artist’s model in Rome where she met her husband, Nino Bertoletti, and became part of a group of artists. This emboldened her to try her hand at painting.

Despite no formal training, she exhibited at the 1915 Rome Secession and in numerous Venice Biennales. Critics praised her lively and original imagery - nothing has essentially changed. Pasquarosa transforms her humble subject matter of still lives into dramatic domestic moments infused with all the colour and vigour of her homeland.

Until 28th April at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London.

The German expressionists revelled in angst, using distorted forms, angular shapes and unnatural colours to convey their reactions to the immense changes forced on the world in the turbulent 20th century. Living through two world wars, it’s no surprise they threw out norms of academic beauty, ushering in an era of revolution and artistic turmoil that persists today.

In The Anxious Eye: German Expressionism and Its Legacy, the National Gallery of Washington has chosen works on paper as the medium through which to explore a myriad of expressionist works up to the

present. These artists were captivated not only by the expressive possibilities of print and paper – the multiple textures and tonalities that could be achieved – but by the fact that prints allowed for simple, cheap reproduction.

The exhibition includes more than 100 prints, drawings, illustrated books, portfolios, and two sculptures dating from 1908 to 2021. It is quartered thematically into portraits and modern life; nature and spirituality; relationships and body language; and German expressionisms legacy.

Works by Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Emil Nolde, and Egon Schiele will be seen alongside prints by lesser-known artists, including Paul Gangolf, Walter Gramatté, and Otto Mueller.

Until May 27th at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, USA.

“Barcelona is a city that o ers a unique blend of history, architecture, a vibrant cultural scene, and a beautiful location on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.”

Albert Milián Spokesperson

& Costa Brava

Sotheby's International Realty

Albert Milián, Spokesperson at Barcelona & Costa Brava Sotheby’s International Realty, invites us into the world of Barcelona’s real estate market, set against a backdrop of breathtaking beauty and cultural richness.

Located on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, Barcelona stands not only as the capital of Catalonia but also as a testament to architectural wonders, cultural brilliance, and a Mediterranean attraction that captivates the soul. Albert steps into the narrative and states, “The luxury real estate market in Barcelona is in excellent health, as we have been experiencing continuous growth in operations since the pandemic,” underscoring the city’s resilience and appeal even during challenging times. Barcelona has seen prices steadily rise, a testament to high demand and limited supply in select areas. Yet Barcelona remains an oasis of competitive prices, with luxury properties averaging around €1.5 million.

However, Barcelona’s persuasion extends beyond its tangible assets. “Barcelona is a city that offers a unique blend of history, architecture, a vibrant cultural scene, and a beautiful location on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea,” emphasises Albert. The city’s exceptional quality of life, well-established infrastructure, and diverse lifestyle choices create an irresistible charm for international buyers seeking not just a property but a lifestyle.

Albert delves into the sought-after features of luxury properties, where the essence lies in the delicate balance between preserving history and embracing modernity. Whether

in the heart of the city with its time-honoured charm or along the waterfront boasting modern amenities and panoramic views, Barcelona offers a combination of living experiences catering to diverse preferences.

Investors eyeing Barcelona’s luxury property market are encouraged to consider the city’s untapped potential, viewing it as a canvas yet to be fully painted. “The image that Barcelona projects to the world is crucial for our market segment and for the attraction of investment

Barcelona

in general,” advises Albert, emphasising the importance of maintaining and enhancing the city’s global status.

As the rental market in Barcelona reaches unprecedented heights, Albert assures investors of quick returns for luxury properties, citing a 6% yield for typical rentals. Yet, future prospects are met with cautious optimism. The city has attracted North American capital, but concerns loom over potential supply shortages and housing development restrictions. Albert acknowledges the positive changes initiated by the new municipal government, offering a glimpse of hope for the future.

MADRID

“From world-class hospitality and dining to a vibrant cultural scene, Madrid has it all.”

FOREST RETREAT

L House, situated amidst a sparsely populated area, rests at the foot of a hill adorned with holm oak trees.

It features a single-family residence with an L-shaped layout that seamlessly integrates with the

natural contours of the plot. This design maximises sunlight exposure and frames picturesque views of the surrounding oak forest. While the exterior facades provide privacy from traffic and neighbouring houses, the interior facades open up to the central area of the plot, where a swimming pool and abundant vegetation thrive, offering tranquil views of the oak grove.

Madrid’s luxury property market is reaching unprecedented heights, according to Javier Guimón, the office director at Madrid Sotheby’s International Realty. “Since 2021, the market has been on an upward trajectory, soaring to historical price peaks,” Javier explains. What’s driving this surge?

“It’s a combination of factors, including an insatiable demand that far outstrips available supply,” he continues.

“Madrid isn’t just a city; it’s a lifestyle destination,” Javier emphasises. Boasting “competitive prices compared to other European capitals,” it offers an attractive array of services and amenities. “From world-class hospitality and dining to a vibrant cultural scene, Madrid has it all.”

Excellent public transportation, top-tier healthcare, and a reputation for safety further enhance its appeal. Add to that a favourable climate, strategic location for exploring nearby tourist hotspots, and ample educational institutions, and you have the recipe for a high-quality, yet affordable, lifestyle.

When it comes to luxury properties, certain features are in high demand. “Prime location is paramount,” Javier notes, with neighbourhoods like Salamanca, Jerónimos, and Almagro topping the list. Classic, iconic buildings renovated to the highest standards are coveted, especially those with terraces and parking facilities. For villas, modern design and prestigious residential settings with security are key selling points.

“For investors eyeing the luxury market, finding properties with character, superior finishes,

and prime locations at reasonable prices is crucial,” Javier advises. Fortunately, Madrid offers opportunities that meet these criteria, promising solid returns on investment. Rental yields in the luxury segment typically range between 4% and 6%, making it an attractive option for those seeking both appreciation and income generation.

Looking ahead, the future of Madrid’s property market appears bright. Javier anticipates continued stability in sales volume, with prices holding firm in the city’s outskirts and continuing to climb in central areas. As the charm of Madrid’s lifestyle and investment potential continues to grow, it’s clear that the city’s luxury property market is poised for sustained success in the years to come.

IO House by KSR Architects & Interior Designers

Moderno Interiors completed a breathtaking project, transforming a new-build property into a blend of functionality, personalisation, and timelessness. Headed by interior designers Kajal Patel and Kajal Karena, the project focused on allocating the budget to various rooms based on square footage, ensuring special attention to key areas like the master bedroom suite, kitchen, living room, dining room, and entertainment spaces.

Thoughtfully designed lighting and meticulous attention to detail were central to the project, enhancing the overall ambiance of the home. The design incorporated bespoke joinery, modern furniture, and a mix of new materials and textures, creating statement interiors that place emphasis on luxury and sophistication.

Client preferences played a pivotal role throughout the design process, from the desired open spaces with abundant natural

light to incorporating personal touches like displaying images of ‘Morari Bapu’ and a passion for abstract art.

Storage solutions were a key focus, finding unique ways to discreetly store items, especially in the kitchen area. The design also considered the clients’ love for greenery, incorporating plants to soften spaces and improve air quality. In the kitchen, Moderno Interiors achieved both functional and visually appealing illumination, carefully selecting lighting features and utilising a Lutron control system for flexibility. The kitchen design displayed sustainability with the inclusion of a Quooker tap for energy-efficient water.

The main stairwell showcased wood panels with integrated LED lighting, showcasing different levels and bringing texture to life. The design element extended throughout the property, creating a cohesive and modern look.

The home office design prioritised ergonomics, ensuring a comfortable and

Stanmore Project

supportive working environment. The incorporation of an electronically operated adjustable table and an ergonomically shaped chair contributed to a functional and aesthetically pleasing home office.

Moderno Interiors has once again showcased its design prowess with the completion of the Linksway project, a high-end residential, detached new-build spanning over 13,297 sq. ft. across five floors. Owned by the Patel family where Kajal Patel, both owner and interior designer, envisioned a seamless kitchen with hidden storage and pantry. Collaborating with Venetti, London, the result is a spacious, modern, and durable kitchen

The project focused on creating a multifunctional kitchen that acts as a social hub, office, and dining space. The open-plan design integrates seating for eight to ten people, high-end appliances, and easy access

to hot/filtered water. Emphasis was placed on the importance of an easy-to-use layout with ample storage, low maintenance materials, and excluded shiny surfaces in the primary kitchen area. Thoughtful details include strategic storage placement for easy retrieval of ingredients, bins for food waste disposal, and sockets with USB ports for various kitchen appliances. The kitchen design adheres to the classic ‘kitchen triangle’ principle and features high-quality Italian porcelain tiles for safety, durability, and easy cleaning.

The overall design concept, guided by Kajal Patel, reflects a timeless aesthetic, achieved through a neutral palette with brown-grey tones and contrast accent colours. Sustainability was a key consideration, influencing material choices such as Dekton for its durability, wear resistance, and ecofriendly features.

helamco’s groundbreaking project, The HiLight Luxury Residences, is redefining urban living with a fusion of luxury, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology. Designed by Squire & Partners, the development sets a new standard for environmentally conscious luxury, exceeding regulatory requirements to be net-zero ready.

The meticulous attention to detail, from maximising natural light to capturing Thames views, reflects a commitment to enhancing residents’ quality of life. The project’s holistic approach to efficiency and accountability, demonstrated through comprehensive operational energy modelling, showcases ingenuity in overcoming challenges like integrating advanced technologies.

Beyond its eco-friendly features, The HiLight offers a carefully curated collection of amenities in partnership with Bowler James Brindley, ensuring a perfect balance and flow. Residents are welcomed through a double-

height residential reception, designed to be more than a simple foyer, offering an inviting warmth with its earth tones, despite the vast ceiling height. This functional space is carefully sectioned to create individual pockets for work, creation, and relaxation.

Residents are further treated to a mezzanine floor, with a yoga area and gymnasium, sensory garden, and unique exercise experiences, which serves as a sanctuary. The rooftop terrace, with al fresco dining, a sports court, and lush plantings, provides an exclusive experience overlooking London’s skyline.

Grant Associates, renowned landscape architects, have contributed more than 3,000m2 of landscaped public space, creating a link from York Road to the River Thames, offering residents and visitors a playful outdoor social space. The HiLight Luxury Residences will shape the future of sustainable urban living and deserves recognition for its forwardthinking design and commitment to a modern, eco-friendly lifestyle.

Point 5 Kitchens has unveiled a masterpiece in kitchen and utility design, combining attention to detail with innovative features that set it apart in the competitive world of interior design.

The heart of the kitchen is the oversized island, featuring a stunning porcelain worktop that extends to the back doors, seamlessly clad with the same porcelain material and adorned with router liquid metal details. The 60mm thickness at the front transforms to 12mm at the back, creating a visually striking effect.

Liquid metal accents are used throughout the kitchen, from routed handles inserts to island plinths, and a beautiful strip of liquid brass dividing tall units and cabinets. This choice elevates the kitchen’s elegance, adding a touch of opulence and finesse.

One of the most challenging aspects of the design was conceiving hidden utility doors that remain open while in use. The flawless

execution seamlessly blends utility with style, ensuring convenience without compromising aesthetics.

The kitchen layout incorporates two separate pocket door units, with one serving as a chic bar area and the other transforming into a breakfast space. These pocket doors discreetly conceal the washing machine and tumble dryer, providing efficient laundry solutions while maintaining a seamless appearance.

The contrasting colour palette, countertop choice, brass liquid metal details, illuminating LED lights, and Le Manse unit for storage solutions contribute to the overall sophistication of the design. The bespoke cutlery and utensils insert, walnut wood details, and innovative features in the utility area showcase Point 5 Kitchens’ commitment to pushing boundaries and infusing creativity into every detail.

Segreti Design Inc, an award-winning Toronto Interior Design firm with over 25 years of experience, led the design of this luxurious private residence in Ontario, Canada. Principal Heather Segreti’s extensive background in both commercial and residential interior design allowed her to bring innovative ideas to this custom project.

The clients were passionate about creating a unique and upscale look for their new build. They were keen on selecting flooring that could withstand the demands of an active family.

Segreti Design sourced a taupe-grey engineered floor with gold highlights for the wood portion and paired it with a porcelain tile featuring a neutral white/grey base with meandering ribbons of grey and black, catering to the client’s penchant for animal print.

Upon entry, the residence’s elegant entry hall establishes symmetry with benches and sconces against a striking graphic floor. A dark

charcoal front door adds drama and aligns with stone archway inserts.

Leopard-textured wall coverings in the entry and rotunda’s offer an unexpected yet vibrant atmosphere. Oversized artwork titled ‘silent whisper’ combines drama and serenity.

The great room impresses with cascading custom glasswork, highlighted by a captivating dropped sphere. Gold accents and a Minotti accent chair add sophistication.

The powder room showcases elegance with charcoal grass cloth walls, a high-gloss vanity, and oversized luxury sink. The main stair hall boasts a unifying theme of mixed metals and a captivating LED fixture. The kitchen features high-gloss lacquer cabinets, a Dekton island, and brushed gold counter stools, while the primary en suite is a luxurious retreat with custom shower and vanity. This stunning fusion of aesthetics and practicality leaves a lasting impression on all who enter.

2023-2024

Dorata Empreendimentos embarked on a mission to create a project of exceptional architectural and design standards in Brazil. Seasons, situated along the Rio Grande do Sul coast, was conceived as the epitome of condominium excellence, marked by expansive leisure spaces and minimal land usage. Spanning 30 hectares and comprising 221 lakeside plots ranging from 450m² to 900m², it stands out in a region where average plot sizes fall far short, at around 350m².

Nestled in Xangri-lá, on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Seasons enjoys a strategic location, offering proximity to key attractions and commanding a privileged view of the western mountains. The development is thoughtfully divided into various zones, including the central Clubhouse, the heart of the project. In addition to the Clubhouse, the complex features an exclusive-access party hall,

HBR Realty, a subsidiary of Hélio Borenstein S.A. – Administration, Holdings, and Trade, entrusted Marchi Arquitetura with designing the HBR Corporate Tower Pinheiros.

2023-2024

This project harmonises functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability, reflecting HBR Realty’s commitment to excellence in urban real estate. As a prominent player in the São Paulo market, HBR Realty focuses on strategic locations and offers diversified real estate services. The HBR Corporate Tower Pinheiros, designed by Marchi Arquitetura, not only stands as a high-end corporate tower but also enriches São Paulo’s urban fabric. This collaborative effort epitomises the fusion of their expertise, delivering a development that caters to the real estate market while enhancing the city’s landscape.

It all began with a commitment to preserve a native Brazilian Pau-Brasil tree,

an endangered species, standing tall on the property. This tree, which lends its name to the nation, became the heart of the project.

From a pedestrian perspective, the design seamlessly connects the development with the surrounding streets, fostering interaction and a sense of community. The corporate tower itself, with its innovative and fluid design, respects the existing vegetation, opening up to both streets and creating a welcoming corner. Transparency is achieved through the extensive use of glass, establishing a visual connection between the tower and the central square.

The project is an amalgamation of elements – a central square at the junction of Teodoro Sampaio and João Moura streets, a versatile ground floor with shops, restaurants, a convention room, and the majestic corporate tower. Terraces link the interior spaces with the lush greenery outside, blurring the boundaries between nature and architecture.

Situated in an expanding downtown São Paulo, the project aligns with the city’s development strategy by enhancing the land around established infrastructure and transport routes. Mixed-use spaces invigorate the area, offering a diverse range of activities for residents and visitors alike.

In a region marked by significant vehicle traffic, the project benefits from excellent access and surrounding roads, capitalizing on the city’s flow of people and services. Pedestrian-friendly design principles enrich the urban experience, encouraging a vibrant street life.

Adhering to height regulations, the project sprawls horizontally, minimising shading impact on the square, neighbouring buildings,

and streets. This approach respects São Paulo’s zoning laws and ensures unobstructed views of the city’s landscape. Trees, a hallmark of the region, find a place of honour within the project. The incorporation of greenery not only enhances sustainability but also offers occupants a refreshing connection with nature. Views from the building focus on the common green area, reinforcing the idea of integration with the environment.

Inside the main lobby, a striking sculpture crafted from metal strips pays tribute to the native trees on-site. LED lamps adorn it, symbolising the thorns of the iconic PauBrasil tree, a fitting emblem for a project that champions nature, sustainability, and innovation.

Lyra by Astra, the visionary Master Planned Community in Monterrey, Nuevo León, embodies a comprehensive approach to modern living, seamlessly addressing economic, social, and environmental challenges.

At the heart of Lyra lies its four experiential areas, seamlessly transitioning between spaces. The Commercial Walkway, reminiscent of iconic shopping districts like Champs-Élysées and Oxford Street, offers an unparalleled shopping experience, intertwined with a linear park and expansive squares.

The University Area, hugging La Cañada, forms Lyra’s youthful core. A boardwalk-style pedestrian avenue encircles a natural space, adorned with cafes, bars, and shops, appealing to a younger demographic. The Lifestyle Area combines various commercial offerings, with a culinary emphasis, harmonising with Central Park’s vibrant cultural dynamics.

The Family Area, located between two linear parks, offers a private, tranquil residential experience that maintains a connection with nature and the city, all without compromising

on privacy. Lyra’s living spaces are versatile and multipurpose, reflecting a recurring theme throughout the community. Rows of trees soften transitions between sidewalks and commercial fronts, while wooded areas within the park offer diverse landscaped spaces, accommodating a range of activities.

The South Linear Park connects with Central Park, featuring outdoor plazas and living areas adorned with art installations. The heart of Central Park welcomes visitors with an amphitheatre, stone steps, terraces intertwined with lush greenery, and Aleph, providing a backdrop for community activities.

Lyra’s architectural design, mirroring its ethos, revolves around creating distinct character and flow. The transition from one end to another masterfully harmonises various materials, from modern and austere textures like concrete to the warm embrace of wood, adapting to the area’s purpose.

As a stand-out of modern residential community development, the project serves as an inspiring model for a brighter, more inclusive future.

This luxurious spa bath, designed by The Nielsen Collection, promises to provide a truly rejuvenating experience for the senses. With a fresh and contemporary atmosphere, it leaves nothing to be desired but pure indulgence. The combination of a moody charcoal geometric tile and a natural woodlook tile creates a striking contrast, enhanced by a shimmering waterfall tile that adds a touch of glamour.

For this busy couple, a contemporary retreat with spa-like amenities was the goal, along with functional storage solutions to declutter the countertops. It was important for the bathroom to seamlessly blend with the bedroom in terms of style and comfort.

Upon entering the bath, a rolling ghost door adorned with an artful panel catches the eye,

coordinating with the accent colour used in the bedroom. To optimise space, the tub and shower were positioned side by side, allowing for a larger contemporary soaking tub accented with a linear fireplace and chromotherapy lighting. This arrangement offers both health benefits and a pop of colour and warmth when desired.

Elevated features like a heated floor, steam shower, and bidet radiate luxury and wellbeing. Glossy lacquered floating cabinets with integrated solid surface sinks showcase the modernity of the bath, while floating mirrored cabinets create a clutter-free environment and provide additional lighting. The highlight of this luxury spa bath is the custom-designed LED lighting that creates a cohesive and soothing atmosphere throughout the space.

The transformation of this residence in the prestigious Yucatán Country Club in Merida, Yucatan, is nothing short of extraordinary. The client’s request for an interior that combines elegance, uniqueness, cosiness, and freshness set the stage for an unparalleled design journey. With Aida Traconis at the helm, this interior design masterpiece was elevated to new heights of luxury, resulting in a home that seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings and breathtaking golf course views.

The interior design concept was ingeniously anchored around the double-height room, a true architectural gem. Granite elements were introduced to provide a sense of continuity within this expansive space. The use of tempered glass allowed the developer to harness the double height’s potential, while exotic Toulouse marble, skillfully utilised

by Aida, linked both levels with an air of sophistication. Artificial lighting played a pivotal role in this design endeavour. Lamps in the dining room, living room, lobby, and main bedroom, made from brass and cut glass with a 30% lead content of Egyptian origin, were expertly crafted by Mexican hands.

The main terrace, adorned with Toulouse marble elements, became a tranquil oasis, offering a seamless connection with nature. The second outdoor terrace, designed and furnished locally, provides a distinct vantage point for enjoying the spectacular views.

Even the client’s office was not spared from the thorough design process. From the tropical quartzite-lined walls that embody strength and stability to the geometric base of the desk, crafted from tzalam wood by skilled Yucatecan artisans, every detail reflects the client’s desire for a space that embodies beauty and elegance.

The design challenge presented to Haute Architecture DPC for the Chelsea Residence project in New York was transformative: expanding and optimising a six-storey brick townhouse. The primary objective was to reconfigure and expand the triplex penthouse, making it suitable for a family of five. Full-floor apartments below were also refreshed for a contemporary look. A stunning rooftop terrace was also crafted on the newly expanded upper floor.

The sophisticated clients selected the design solution that maximized every available square foot while meticulously optimising the proportions of the triplex’s living spaces. Haute Architecture also proposed adding a glassfloored balcony at the rear, creating valuable usable space in the urban setting without sacrificing daylight for the rooms below.

Upon entering the dramatic double-height living space, one is greeted by expansive

windows and a pendant light sculpture. Moving to the heart of the home – the kitchen and dining area – there is an open and interconnected space serving as the central hub for family gatherings. A breakfast bar at the north end provides views of the quintessential New York City street.

Upstairs, the primary suite occupies the entire top level. Translucent and blackout shades ensure privacy as needed, while operable skylights infuse the space with natural light and ventilation.

The rooftop terrace features a kitchen, dining area, and lounge space, crowned by the stair bulkhead. Concrete pavers underfoot ensure comfort, while glass guardrails frame uninterrupted vistas. Through meticulous attention to detail, innovative design choices, and a commitment to maximising every available square foot, Haute Architecture has breathed new life into this urban gem.

The Lake House is a magnificent architectural masterpiece located in a cold and mountainous area, near Gravatá, Pernambuco, in the northeast of Brazil. This building is a testament to the skill of its visionary architects, Nadjânia Gomes and Eric Dayan from ND Studio Architecture.

They not only crafted the building’s architectural design but also curated the internal ambience, adorning the spaces with beautiful Benetti furniture and ensuring excellent permeability for users, along with natural ventilation and light through the use of thermo-acoustic panels and PVC provided by Armony, featuring double laminated glass.

Initially, a couple of young clients approached architect Eric Dayan, already awarded for designing other beautiful houses in the Gravatá Country condominium, to make their real estate dream come true.

In ND Studio Architecture’s quest to connect three of the six social suites through a single balcony overlooking the social area and the infinity-edge pool, which seamlessly merges with the lake in front, this architectural gem was born.

It features straight lines in a contemporary style but gives the impression of gracefully embracing the landscape, captivating the observer from every angle. This design transcends the ordinary, redefining the essence of architecture with its sense of lightness and opulence.

The building draws attention for its dynamic shape and impeccable integration of its environments, living up to the award for Best Single Residence Architecture in Brazil, marking the culmination of 20 years of excellence in projects for ND Studio Architecture’s discerning clientele.

Adynamic architectural and design studio, m+ estudio de arquitectura y diseño has left its indelible mark on two remarkable projects that epitomise functionality, and environmental harmony.

Located in the heart of the Las Lomas neighborhood in Asuncion, Paraguay, m+ estudio de arquitectura y diseño crafted an architectural masterpiece. This single residence project, the b|f residence, spans two lots, each measuring 15 by 42 metres. The challenge was to create a harmonious space that catered to both family gatherings and private moments.

The residence seamlessly integrates with the lush, green surroundings, taking advantage of abundant vegetation. It boasts a substantial garden with a pool as its centrepiece and a versatile barbecue area that can be enjoyed year-round. The studio’s strategic approach led to a linear design, with a strong emphasis on internal circulation. The building opens toward the east on two levels, offering captivating views and optimal orientations.

The studio’s versatility extends to office architecture with a project that blends multiple pharmaceutical companies under one roof: the ovs corporate building. Tasked with creating a space that reflected the client’s values and commitment to technology and people, m+ estudio de arquitectura y diseño embarked on a unique journey.

The project showcases the changing dynamics of corporate environments, driven by the realization that many tasks can be performed remotely.

The building is characterized by its permeable and inviting design, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding forest. It provides a sense of unity and collaboration among different companies.

Simple yet honest materials, including exposed concrete, iron, glass, and aluminium parasols, were chosen to blend with the natural surroundings. These materials, combined with the interplay of light and shadow, create a poetic atmosphere and a powerful connection with nature.
