Expanding horizons

n a dynamic conversation with Benjamin Hunter, the visionary founder of LH1 Global, we delve into the origins of LH1 and its rapid evolution into an international powerhouse in property consultancy.

Benjamin Hunter’s experience spanning over two decades in the property industry has paved the way for LH1 Global’s outstanding approach to off-plan property sales on a global scale.

“…our model is unique. The original goal was to build the largest distribution channel in the business and that is exactly what we’ve done,” Benjamin explains, echoing Richard Branson’s sentiment that there’s always room in the market for the best.

The recent launch of LH1’s Dubai office is a pivotal moment in their expansion journey. Benjamin explains, “…opening an office there enabled us to strengthen our presence…This is an exciting period for LH1 Global and our international

presence will only grow following our expansion into the Middle East.”

LH1 Global’s focus on emerging markets with exceptional capital growth potential is a defining aspect of their strategy. Benjamin highlights, “Saudi Arabia is of particular interest…we are also at final stages of negotiations in two European cities and a residential resort development in Asia.” This expansion reflects their tried and tested expertise and the trust they’ve built in various markets.

The rapid success of LH1 Global’s projects, exemplified by the full sell-out of apartments in just 12 weeks, is underpinned by a selective approach. “If it ticks the right boxes, we will sell out fast!” Benjamin states, highlighting their stringent criteria for development partnerships.

Benjamin and Rayna Hunter’s journey from LH1 London to LH1 Global is a testament to the power of innovation, dedication, and a commitment to excellence. As LH1 Global’s presence continues to expand across the globe, their unique approach to property consultancy is redefining the industry, one successful project at a time.

Hunter’s words encapsulate their ethos: “…we’re always striving to be at the top of our game and delivering the best results.”

A glimpse into architectural grandeur, distinctive hotels, and a conversation with H2R Design's creative brothers

Visionary brothers forge design powerhouse in Dubai

ailing from the UK with proud Iranian heritage, Hasan and Husain Roomi, the visionary brothers behind H2R Design, have orchestrated a remarkable journey that has transformed their design firm into an undeniable powerhouse in the Middle East. Crafting spaces that focus on meaning, influence, and soul, H2R Design has made its name in Dubai and London, captivating audiences with their multi-award-winning prowess across continents. Specialising in hospitality, food and beverage, retail, and corporate sectors, H2R Design has breathed life into a myriad of spaces, each one narrating a unique story.

The genesis of H2R Design is rooted in an insatiable appetite for knowledge, a passion that guided them even as students. “We started off by grasping every opportunity we could to learn, absorb, and gain experience in the industry,” Hasan and Husain share. Their pursuit of growth extended to projects undertaken while studying in London, a testament to their unyielding dedication. This philosophy of organic growth remained steadfast as they ventured into the UAE market. “We believe in organic growth, and it’s a mentality that we kept when we hit the UAE market and things snowballed,” they reflect, an ethos of expansion coupled with grounding that became the cornerstone of their journey.

Dubai’s opulent design landscape posed a unique challenge, yet H2R Design deftly navigated the terrain, forging a path distinctly their own. “We try not to give in to what is usually done in Dubai,” they assert. Their design ethos is a symphony of purpose, context, and emotion, and while this approach might be unconventional, they illuminate their vision with meticulous detail to their clients. “This sometimes isn’t fully understood by the market; however, we try to explain in detail and with attention the thought process and merit behind our approach to our clients,” they state, a clarion call for authenticity in a world that often seeks the ordinary.

H2R Design’s foray into hospitality and food and beverage design is adorned with iconic gems, like the F&B enclaves Cassette and Nette. In these spaces, the brothers’ creativity knew no bounds, as they moulded concepts that seamlessly blended context and identity. “The design in these two spaces was unfiltered and allowed us to really take in what the surroundings had to offer,” they both recall, an ode to spaces that resonate with authenticity and purpose. The Al Alamein Hotel on Egypt’s North Coast stands as a poignant testament to H2R Design’s reverence for history, a cherished endeavour that embodies their commitment to heritage and legacy.

Sustainability, a burgeoning concern, finds its place at the heart of H2R Design’s philosophy. Their design ethos echoes sustainability, embracing an approach of purposeful minimalism. “We are very much believers in not placing elements/materials where they aren’t serving a purpose,” they explain, a sentiment that finds form through sourcing local materials with a low carbon footprint.

Honesty, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the craft set H2R Design in a league of their own amidst Dubai’s competitive design realm. “Honesty is our best policy,” they affirm.

Their client relationships transcend transactions, evolving into partnerships rooted in trust and shared vision. “Nothing makes us prouder than creating spaces that have a line at their doors even years post-opening,” they both declare, a testimony to the lasting impact of their creations.

The creative journey undertaken by H2R Design is a dance of balance, a symphony of client aspirations and artistic vision. Each project becomes a canvas where their creativity meets context, fostering an environment where design needs harmoniously coexist with client demands. “We try to approach each project individually, and strip away our initial personal visions of the space,” they explain, a testament to their commitment to spaces that resonate with authenticity. The accolades adorning H2R Design’s path bears witness to their exceptional talent. Yet the most cherished recognition is one that extends to their team. “The best [awards] are always ones that recognise the team,” they confide, a nod to the collaborative spirit that fuels their creative fire.

As Dubai’s horizon continues to evolve, H2R Design remains unwavering, a beacon of innovation rooted in timeless aesthetics. “We always want to create an aesthetic that’s timeless,” they reflect, a steadfast resolve that transcends fleeting trends. Innovation, materiality, and technology converge, echoing their commitment to both design and sustainability.

Amidst their journey, future horizons beckon H2R Design, with a renewed focus on their F&B origins. “Dubai has kept us incredibly busy when it comes to working on a number of larger projects,” Hasan and Husain remarks, hinting at their ventures into reimagining spaces like Brew Café. The culmination of their artistry and design prowess is evident in Riina, a restaurant concept marrying interior design and art.

For aspiring designers seeking to make their mark in Dubai, Hasan and Husain advocate for unwavering determination. “Staying grounded and close to your roots will always be to the benefit of the projects,” they advise, a testament to the power of authenticity in a landscape defined by innovation. The inexhaustible well of opportunity that is Dubai awaits, as the Roomi brothers exemplify, a testament to the city’s ability to unfurl doors for those who dare to dream and create.

Karim Yazji CEO, ASK Real Estate

Located within the Arabian Gulf, Bahrain holds a unique position, intricately woven into the fabric of history and culture. Its geographical location and ancient legacy have bestowed upon it an unparalleled cultural heritage, fostering an atmosphere of diversity and tolerance that has flourished for ages.

With a rich history spanning over 5,000 years, Bahrain stands as a living testament to the passage of time. It is a tale of civilisations converging and rising, creating a tapestry of identity marked by remarkable pluralism.

As 2023 unfolded, Bahrain’s real estate market embarked on a journey teeming with promise and potential. It beckoned both local and international buyers with enticing opportunities, setting the stage for a year marked by growth and prosperity.

A testament to Bahrain’s resilience, the real estate market has already displayed signs of recovery.

Transaction volumes and prices have climbed in recent months, heralding the market’s reinvigoration. A coordinated effort by the government, characterised by incentives for foreign investors and ambitious infrastructure ventures, further fuels this resurgence, promising to redefine the landscape.

Karim Yazji, Chief Executive of ASK Real Estate, encapsulates this optimistic sentiment: “We are pleased to see the healthy growth of Bahrain’s economy in 2023 and the recovery of the real estate sector, thanks to the initiatives of the government that contributed to the development of a transparent and sustainable sector. These initiatives have encouraged investors and created more opportunities for new projects. The outlook for the real estate sector in Bahrain remains positive.”

marinas, and leisure facilities, it is a haven for those seeking a premium residential experience. Juffair, a vibrant neighbourhood in Manama, adds another jewel to Bahrain’s crown.

Modern apartment complexes, commercial properties, shopping malls, and entertainment hubs converge, creating a dynamic living environment. Its proximity to business districts and international schools renders it a preferred destination for expatriates and professionals.

The Seef District, a financial hub, epitomises Bahrain’s progress. Impressive skyscrapers, upscale shopping centres, and a thriving business ecosystem paint a vibrant urban portrait.

Amidst recent stagnation, Bahrain’s rental market stands on the brink of transformation. A surplus of investment properties, a result of a construction boom, has contributed to this equilibrium. However, with demand anticipated to catch up, rental rates are projected to embark on an upward trajectory, signifying a shift in the rental landscape.

Beyond economic dynamics, Bahrain beckons property buyers with its enchanting locales. The allure of Amwaj Islands, boasting waterfront properties and luxurious lifestyle offerings, is undeniable. With captivating beaches,

Investors seeking commercial properties and premier office spaces are drawn to this district, embodying the fusion of heritage and modernity that defines Bahrain.

Bahrain’s property market transcends mere economic trends; it is a vibrant expression of a nation’s journey through time. It embodies the harmonious coexistence of history and progress, offering a landscape where investors, locals, and expatriates alike can find a haven of opportunity and prosperity.

The country’s real estate market shines as a place of opportunity

Charming Chelsea

Where heritage meets prestige

s one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in prime central London, Chelsea continues to captivate property investors with its rich heritage, vibrant culture, and top-notch amenities. We spoke to industry experts Jo Eccles, George Lee, Will Pitt, and Lulu Egerton to gain insight into what makes Chelsea a prime destination for luxury property investment.

Jo Eccles, the Founder and Managing Director of Eccord, sheds light on why property investors should consider Chelsea: “The Cadogan Estate’s success in transforming Pavilion Road into a bustling and vibrant village hub is a blueprint for placemaking, which is helping attract a new generation of investors to Chelsea who recognise the potential impact on property values and tenant demand.” The rejuvenation of Pavilion Road and the ongoing redesign of Sloane Street showcase the commitment to enhancing Chelsea’s allure.

Chelsea’s artful and bohemian heritage remains at the heart of its identity, a vision that the Cadogan Estate carefully curates. “Chelsea’s arty, bohemian heritage remains very central to its identity, and the benefit of living somewhere with a central freeholder, which in Chelsea’s case is the Cadogan Estate, is the coherent vision they can achieve for the area,” says Jo Eccles. This curated approach results in a wide collection of high-quality shops, hotels, restaurants and bars, adding to the area’s exclusivity and allure.

In terms of price, Jo Eccles reveals that buyers in Chelsea can expect to pay anywhere between £2,000 and £3,000 per square foot for luxury properties. For premier new build developments, such as the prestigious Chelsea Barracks, prices can even soar to £5,000 to £7,000 per square foot, underlining the premium commanded by this prime location.

As for upcoming developments, Jo Eccles mentions Chelsea Barracks as one to watch, offering a modern take on Chelsea’s Georgian townhouse heritage. With five-bedroom townhouses priced around £40m, it particularly appeals to overseas buyers seeking a long-term investment in London.

George Lee from Savills Chelsea office underscores the timeless appeal of Chelsea’s village-like atmosphere, which draws families to the area: “Often described as providing a sense of village living, Chelsea is perennially popular with families who are attracted by its well-established and independent schools and green space.” The mix of townhouses, mews houses, modern apartments, and new developments caters to a diverse

market, ensuring that Chelsea remains a highly regarded and desirable location.

Will Pitt, Senior Director at UK Sotheby’s International Realty, highlights the reliability of Chelsea as an investment destination: “Chelsea has a rich and vibrant history, fantastic shopping and restaurants, and as such, it is home to HNWIs who feel it has a sense of excitement. As such, it commands higher rental prices to have all this on your doorstep. Capital appreciation and rental yields have both stood the test of time.”

Chelsea’s appeal transcends the leafy location and amenities, as Will Pitt points out that luxury developments with exceptional standards of finish and detail are becoming more prevalent. Prices in Chelsea can range from £2,000 to £5,000 per square foot, making it a versatile market catering to various buyer preferences.

Lulu Egerton from Strutt & Parker Sloane Street accentuates the historical significance of Chelsea and its enduring relationship with the Cadogan Estate: “Chelsea is an historic enclave of central London, with the Kings Road – so named because it took King Charles II directly to his palace at Kew.” The Cadogan Estate’s association with Chelsea, spanning over 300 years, has been instrumental in

Lulu Egerton Senior Director Strutt & Parker Sloane Street

Jo Eccles Founder and Managing Director Eccord

preserving the area’s character and attracting investment through regeneration projects.

Lulu Egerton points out that new developments like The Lucan, a Marriott Autograph Residence, are set to celebrate the SW3 postcode and the essence of Chelsea. Such developments breathe new life into the community, enhancing its desirability.

From the vibrant King’s Road to charming garden squares, Chelsea

boasts a variety of neighbourhoods and property types that cater to different lifestyles. As Lulu Egerton notes, the area offers an array of housing options, from gaily painted Chelsea cottages and discreet mews houses to grand villas in leafy streets such as Tregunter Road and Cheyne Walk.

In conclusion, the luxury property market in London’s Chelsea is a true embodiment of heritage meeting prestige. The Cadogan Estate’s commitment to placemaking and ongoing investments, coupled with the area’s vibrant culture, make it a prime destination for property investors seeking timeless elegance and a promising return on investment.

Whether it’s the allure of its artful past or the appeal of its contemporary amenities, Chelsea continues to be a beacon of luxury in the heart of London.

Years of Rang

he Le Mans Classic takes place at the historic racing circuit every two years. However, in 2023, being the hundredth year of the world’s oldest sports car race, the organisers decided to run the race again between June 29th and July 2nd, even though the Le Mans Classic took place last year. The 2023 Le Mans Classic attracted more than 235,000 spectators, an increase from 200,850 in 2022.

The event featured 24 hours of racing and three races for each of the six grids, with more than 800 racing cars competing. This extraordinary four-day event included 9,200 rare and valuable cars showcased by car clubs. Vehicles were driven from across Europe and the UK to enjoy the festivities, accompanied by 150 exhibition stands and displays in the Village.

OVERALL TEAM STANDINGS

ith a combined 144 laps covered, spanning 10 decades of race development, Team 20 emerged as the leader in the overall standings. They achieved the greatest distance by aggregating the performance of the cars from the six grids. The earliest decade represented cars from the 1920s, and the fastest lap was completed by François Fabri and Timothy Dutton, who covered 21 laps in a 1928 Bugatti T44 G in 2 hours, 25 minutes, and 42 seconds.

In the 1950s era, the fastest driver was Michel Verliefden, completing 22 laps in his 1951 Aston Martin DB2 Sports Saloon Coupé in 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 14 seconds. Representing the 1960s, a 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB driven by Christian Dumolin and Pierre-Alain Thibault achieved 24 laps in 2 hours, 19 minutes, and 52 seconds. The same driving

team managed 23 laps in a 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350 in 2 hours, 18 minutes. The 1970s period saw Jamie Constable manage 25 laps in a 1971 Chevron B19 in 2 hours, 16 minutes, and 37 seconds, while Nicolas D'Ieteren and Pierre Lalmand covered 29 laps in a 1979 Porsche 935 K3 in 2 hours, 22 minutes, and 43 seconds.

Grid 2, comprising cars that participated in the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1949 and 1955, witnessed a great battle between British manufacturers Jaguar, Cooper, and Aston Martin. The victory went to a Jaguar D-Type 1954 driven by Team Niklas Halusa and Lukas Halusa.

Rivalry between Ferrari and Jaguar characterised the cars of the late 1950s. As a tribute to history, this duel returned to the track. Andy Wallace won the first two races in a 1957 Jaguar D-Type. Team Harrison Newey, Joe Macari, and Christian Hore came second in their 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with Remo LIPS in his 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB securing third place.

The Ford GT40 dominated endurance racing at the end of the 1960s, winning four Le Mans races in a row between 1966 and 1969. Fourteen GT40s were registered for Grid 4, with no fewer than 10 models occupying the first five rows. Diogo Ferrao took first place, while second place went to Emile Breitmayer, and Shaun Lynn came third, all driving Ford GT40s.

The distinctive Lola T70 of the late 1960s and early 1970s won at Daytona and Watkins Glen but never managed to shine in the Le Mans 24 Hours. This model was well represented and achieved three victories in three races.

The Le Mans Classic marks the world’s oldest sports car race. Stuart Shield discovers more

Half of the cars entered in these six grids ran on synthetic fuel, in partnership with Aramco. Le Mans Classic is aligned with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where all the latest technological developments in motor racing are tested. This initiative by Peter Auto and Aramco significantly reduced the carbon impact of on-track activities and contributed to progress in the world of historic competition.

The Group C Racing cars once again provided a spectacular show on track. Emblematic of endurance racing in the 1980s and early 1990s, the prototypes raced through the Mulsanne straight at speeds exceeding 300 kph. The 1989 Porsche 962 C even clocked a top speed of 330.1 kph.

The iconic Bentley established legendary status at the outset of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with over 70 iconic Bentley models from the inter-war period participating in tribute to the British firm, which had won five Le Mans 24 Hours races between 1924 and 1930.

THE DATE IS SET FOR JUNE 26-30, 2025, FOR THE 12H EDITION

With a multitude of people descending on Le Mans for the races, the city’s hotels are booked well in advance, as petrolheads eagerly relive the golden era of motorsport at the place where it all began 100 years ago.

The Sarthe département, located in the Pays de la Loire région in Northwestern France, where Le Mans is the capital city, offers a wealth of interesting places to stay, all less than an hour away from the circuit.

One of the finest places to stay is Château de Chéronne. The estate has been passed down from generation to generation for 500 years. In addition to offering accommodation during the Le Mans 24 and Classic events, the estate hosts prestigious events, including weddings, seminars, corporate gatherings and launches.

Thundering Triumphs

otor racing champions Sebastian Vettel, Francesco Bagnaia, Giacomo Agostini, Mika Häkkinen, Damon Hill, Mark Webber, and Jenson Button thundered past the crowd on the one-mile road at the Goodwood House Estate. This electrifying spectacle unfolded during the annual Festival of Speed (13-16th July 2023), commemorating its remarkable 30-year legacy in the world of motorsport.

The event embraced other notable milestones, including the 75th anniversary of motorsport at Goodwood, Porsche’s illustrious 75-year journey, the centenary celebration of Le Mans 24 Hours, the enduring legacy of Lotus spanning 75 years, the dynamic spirit of NASCAR flourishing for 75 years, the trailblazing 60-year journey of McLaren, and the half-century mark of the World Rally Championship.

Over four days, the festival drew famous drivers, riders and ardent fans, creating a fusion of motorsport and lifestyle experiences.

The festival’s essence revolves around the challenge of pushing machines to their limits up the iconic hill climb. McLaren’s factory driver, Marvin Kirchhöfer, triumphed in the shootout, clocking an impressive time of 45.34 seconds in the newly-revealed McLaren Solus GT. This car was conceived in the virtual realm of the Gran Turismo Sport video game and brought to life by McLaren. A mere 25 Solus GTs are destined for creation, powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine producing a potent 840PS and 650Nm of torque, all in a package weighing less than 1,000kg.

The Festival received an inauguration as the Duke of Richmond took the wheel of his iconic Jaguar D-Type, the very vehicle that marked the inception of the festival back in 1993.

Porsche’s 75-year legacy was showcased with a selection of their most iconic models. Their anniversary was further

exalted by the Festival’s centrepiece sculpture that graced the front of Goodwood House. This sculpture featured the legendary Porsche 804, 963, 962 356, and the evolution of the 911, represented by the 992 and 997 variants.

Four-time Formula 1 World Champion, Sebastian Vettel, enthralled the audience by piloting a selection of cars from his personal collection. Noteworthy among these were his ex-Nigel Mansell 1992 Williams FW14B and the ex-Ayrton Senna 1993 McLaren MP4/8.

The Bonhams auction witnessed a captivating collection of 240 vehicles, headlined by gems such as the 2007 Koensigsegg CCGT GT1 Competition Coupé, the iconic 1964 Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond lore, and the exquisite Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The auction recorded an astounding sales total exceeding £10 million.

Colourful Tranquillity

INDULGE IN TUSCAN SPLENDOUR

uxury holiday home brand, August, recently renovated this 4,000 sq. ft. villa in Tuscany into a colourful family-friendly home overlooking the hilly landscapes of Montecatini Terme & Carrara. Led by the company's Head of Design, Max Lozinski, the five-bedroom villa blends traditional Italian charm with modern amenities to create an awe-inspiring sanctuary that exudes luxury and comfort.

Expertly renovated over four months, Max and the August team highlighted the property's original features, showcasing the locally sourced Carrara marble, wooden

beams, and flooring. The team worked closely with local artisans and tradespeople to retain authenticity and a sense of place, from the respected 80-year-old upholsterer and furniture maker who produced bespoke items for the home to the village farmer who tends the garden’s olive groves.

Inside, the villa has been refurbished as a treasure trove of antiques and mid-century furniture. Many items were sourced from a traditional Brocante in the nearby town of Pietrasanta; these luxuriously rustic pieces are complemented by bright, patterned contemporary lighting and fabrics from Soho Home, Pooky, and Victoria and Albert, alongside re-upholstered striped chairs and loungers.

One of the delights of the interior is the expansive kitchen, complete with ornate marble worktops and a traditional wood-fired pizza oven that transports you straight to the heart of Italy. Both indoor and outdoor dining spaces offer sweeping views over the rolling hills and mountains beyond, creating an unforgettable setting for endless suppers with friends and family. The terraces and exterior are just as impressive as the interior, with a large pool surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and lush greenery, creating an oasis of tranquillity and relaxation.

A Constellation of Distinction

Imagine a vision brought to life through different sparks of light to form a beautiful constellation that shines around you, with you in mind. A constellation where every detail is handcrafted with each stroke, creating a variety of decors that grace your homes.

Signature Living by Majid Al Futtaim

n this remarkable project, a six-bed, six-bath property spanning three floors underwent a complete top-to-bottom refurbishment. The existing space was gutted, and a fresh layout was meticulously reimagined. A remarkable feat was achieved as all but one original door opening on the ground floor was replaced with brand new ones, including two bespoke glass doors designed for the kitchen and family room, adorned with beautiful arched doorways that flood the once enclosed hallway with natural light.

Architectural features were diligently reinstated, paying homage to the building’s original charm, from coffered ceilings and cornices to ceiling roses, panelling, joinery detailing and concealed doors.

In the kitchen, a new back kitchen was designed in place of the old utility room. It features traditional shaker-style units, cast iron shelving, and creatively designed tiles. The standout challenge was importing and installing large marble pieces for the island worktop and surfaces. The ground floor’s joinery package was extensive, encompassing a bespoke kitchen and back kitchen, a family room unit concealing

a TV, a built-in desk in the music room, and a stunning bespoke bar in the formal living room, complete with walnut internals and antique mirrored details.

On the first floor, the layout was adjusted to include two new en suite bathrooms, making use of every available space, including custom drawers and cupboards under the stairs. The master bedroom was transformed into a full master suite, boasting a full-height dressing room with a bespoke ladder and a spacious en suite. A utility was incorporated in place of an original bathroom, while the child’s bedroom now features a mezzanine level with a rope leading directly to the bed, alongside an impressive full-height climbing wall.

The guest bedroom received a new en suite, characterised by a more traditional design. The second floor underwent a complete transformation,

with mezzanine levels added to both bedrooms to create private snugs. One bedroom featured a dormer and window, turning eaves storage into an en suite and dressing room, complete with a bespoke curved bookcase. The second bedroom received an en suite with new windows and additional bespoke joinery seamlessly linking the dressing area, wardrobes, headboard, and bedside tables.

Style-wise, the design brief called for an impactful, unique, and fun space that caters to both adults and three children. Practicality and storage were paramount, while adults enjoyed their oasis of calm in the formal living room and master suite. Bold and personalised design choices were embraced throughout the property, evident in custom window treatments, cushions, upholstered furniture, joinery, frosted glass windows, arched doors, and exquisite cornicing, culminating in a truly one-of-a-kind home that reflects the client’s personality and taste.

A BESPOKE COASTAL HAVEN

An A-lister client purchased this contemporary coastal property in Canford Cliffs, Poole, as their UK base and second home. They desired a home that bridged the gap between their contemporary American property and the style they wished to introduce.

As the couple has older children, the house needed to be multi-purpose, especially the entertainment space that was crucial for larger social events. The property required a refresh, as the original paint colours made the house feel dark, especially the master bedroom. Bedroom three had been converted into a media room with dark ceilings and walls, which needed lightening to create a relaxing bedroom with garden views. The local environment was vital in designing this property, taking inspiration from coastal views and surrounding greenery. Natural colours were incorporated to fuse the interiors with the exteriors, and the designs needed to work seamlessly into the garden and poolside areas.

The project highlight was working closely with the client to create their perfect second home, with a successful outcome. To create a similar ambiance, rich tones such as blues, greens, or burnt oranges can be used in cushions, and a flower arrangement in the room’s theme can create a homely feeling.

Photography Contemporary African A World in Common:

his dazzling show at Tate Modern opens with a series of regal portraits by George Osodi, the kings and queens of presentday Nigeria’s various peoples. They wear ornate ceremonial robes – one patterned with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II – and heavy ancient strands of coral. Whether sitting on a gilded throne or an old armchair in front of a mud building, their status is undoubted.

Under the gaze of these powerful custodians of Africa’s past, you pass into a room where Kudzanai Chiural re-imagines Biblical narratives, placing women at the centre of heroic stories. There are many more powerful women to come in this exhibition, notably the series of portraits of the Kesh Angels (a riff on Hells Angels) by Hassan Hajja who says: “I wanted to show the energy, the attitude, the inventiveness and glamour of street fashion, the fantastic graphics on everyday objects and products, people's happy outlook and strength of character.”

The broad sweep of this show covers many perspectives. Issues of colonial and post-colonial attitudes are explored through vistas of ruined landscapes and maps, in objects, video works and portraits. The power of African ritual and spiritual practices finds many treatments, my favourite being M-eating where Islam meets Christianity in a Last Supper style series of panels by Maïmouna

Guerresi. The rise of studio photography in the 1950s and 60s when many African nations gained independence is another theme, while Mário Macilau captures details of life on the margins of society – the waste heaps of Mozambique where youngsters glean through ‘recycled’ materials.

There’s a mute sense of anger at the appropriation of cultural artifacts, primarily masks, in the series of photos by Edson Chagas, who places precious antique Bantu masks over the heads of businessmen and photographs them as anonymous

mugshots – the masks presumably more valuable than the people.

Many exhibits and images reference outrage at the exploitation of the African continent but as with everything, it depends where you look. I was left with an overwhelming sense of the celebratory and positive, of beauty and power, of the importance of Africa’s future rather than its past in the hands of women and men.

Until 4th January 2024 at Tate Modern, London, UK.

Grayson Perry: Smash Hits

You can’t miss the name Grayson Perry plastered on the front of Edinburgh’s National gallery as Scotland gets a taste of this flamboyant entrepreneur cum artist. The one-time potter who built his reputation by demystifying art and bringing it to the people has enjoyed a stellar career. Perry, now Sir Perry, caught the tide at its flood and went on to make his fortune. Being transgender was just part of the story.

He/she is a hugely charismatic personality who has elevated pottery, of which I am personally very fond, to its rightful place in the art hierarchy. His wonderfully detailed and colourful tapestries are another pillar of his canon; you can spend literally hours exploring the stories that unfold in these pieces and I have sat next to people doing just that. Inevitably, Perry has his detractors and one vitriolic reviewer has castigated him for doing what he does best which is rather like being annoyed with Monet for painting water lilies.

A LOVER'S TEMPLE

“A temple to love” is how Joana Vasconscelos describes her most monumental work to date, Wedding Cake, at Waddesdon Manor. At 12 metres high, this towering pavilion in the form of a threetiered cake is entirely clad in glazed tiles inspired by the exuberant Baroque buildings of her native country, Portugal. A riot of fancy elements – fish, mermaids, scallops – leading to a star studded done decorate the interior of this ensemble, which has taken Vasconcelos five years to complete for the Buckinghamshire seat of the Rothschild family. Wedding Cake stands alongside the 19th-century Dairy, a grand working folly built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild to entertain guests and now itself a wedding venue.

he rise of the private art museum has been a 21st century phenomenon. According to the latest count in Larry’s List (www.larryslist.com) there are 446 such privately funded museums in the world, many having appeared in just the past decade. Last year luxury goods mogul Francois Pinault (net worth $46bn), owner of Christie's, added to his small portfolio of private museums with yet another in Paris. As in Venice, he chose Japanese architect Tadeo Ando to convert the historic Bourse du Commerce, a former grain exchange building, into a suitable place to exhibit contemporary art. It will host several exhibitions each year, the latest being Ghost and Spirit by Detroit artist Mike Kelley. The sequence of works includes the spectacular Kandors, futuristic cities under bell jars, which will be featured in the Rotunda room of the old Bourse. Almost inevitably there are also some ”immersive experiences.”

In Somerset, Hauser & Wirth are celebrating their Swiss heritage

HAUSER & WIRTH: NEW HORIZONS

Billionaire Swiss gallerists Iwan Hauser and Manuela Wirth are celebrating a decade since they ventured into deepest Somerset, a rather unlikely destination for contemporary art, many thought, but not so. They have converted 17th century Durslade Farm in Bruton into a phenomenally successful gallery with gardens and dining.

The current show Gruppenaustellung, which is free and runs to the end of the year, celebrates their Swiss heritage, with a playful presentation of 20 artists. Another outpost of the Hauser & Wirth empire is in Menorca where they helped fund the final stages of restoration of the 16th century

Oober’s LONDON ART FEST

Rents for art spaces have rocketed, leading to an explosion in the number of art fairs – a cheaper alternative for many small gallerists. Frieze London (October 11th to 15th) remains among the top five, with more than 240 booths this year. It is also the priciest – a combined entry ticket to Frieze and Frieze Masterpiece on opening day is £245 but prices do drop dramatically over the weekend.

An overwhelming number of pop up events, shows and parties take place during and before Frieze while Phillips, Bonhams, Sotheby’s and Christie’s also all hold major evening sales of modern and contemporary art. Check out Artlyst’s comprehensive guide at artlyst.com to all the 2023 fringe events.

Among the October fringe events is the ever-popular Battersea Decorative Arts Fair (October 3rd to 8th) where you can hope to find something nice as well as affordable and entry prices are also very reasonable.

When it comes to buying art, a nice view from one New York collector is just to 'relax'; spending £5,000 on a work of art is no more than a family holiday and you get to keep more than the Instagram pictures. The other thing that is essential when buying art is a pair of comfortable shoes.

naval hospital on the Illa del Rei. Here, works by Christina Quarles are currently on show.

Judging by the crowds who flock to the island by shuttle barge, Hauser & Wirth’s experiment with placing art in out of the way places continues to pay off but the latest addition to their empire is wholly central and urban. The new gallery is located in the heart of Paris close to the Champs-Élysées. Occupying an 18th century hôtel particulier, it will opens on October 14th in advance of Paris+ Art Basel. Works by the Los Angeles Henry Taylor will be on show until January.

ARTISTIC COMPASS

Bovet has created a unique timepiece for the 10th edition of Only Watch, a charity auction that raises funds for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The watch features a magenta guilloché dial with seven layers of vibrant magenta lacquer, a world time display, and a 42mm red gold case. The watch is named Orbis Mundi, Latin for “the world,” and is easy to set using only the crown.

The dial displays the in-house Bovet balance wheel and regulating organ, with

its three-arm rotating second hand and a 20-second dial at 6 o’clock.

The power reserve indicator highlights the seven-day power reserve with one single barrel. The watch is finished with an exhibition back, allowing collectors to appreciate the finely finished manual-wind manufacture movement.

he Jacob & Co Epic X Titanium Sky Blue is a masterpiece of watchmaking that embodies the essence of lightness.

The titanium case weighs almost nothing, while the skeleton movement is as graceful as they come, and the baby blue colour of the flange and strap is the perfect pop of colour.

The open-worked timepiece allows the movement to be visible through the dial and the back of the watch, with as much metal removed as possible without compromising functionality.

The turning escapement at 6 o’clock is fascinating to watch, made possible by the amazing skeletonisation of the exclusive Jacob & Co. manual-wind movement. The Epic X is bold, elegant, and sporty – perfect for any occasion.

COSMIC COLLABORATION

rederique Constant and Christiaan van der Klaauw have collaborated to create The Majestic Planetarium, a stunning timepiece with two main complications on an aventurine dial.

The planetarium, designed by Christiaan van der Klaauw, is located at 12 o’clock, featuring six moving discs with each planet completing its orbit around the sun in real time.

At six o’clock, the Manufacture Tourbillon, designed, assembled, and finished by Frederique Constant in its Geneva manufactory, is integrated into a hand-finished movement. The meticulous finishings of each component were done by two watchmakers using traditional tools and instruments, with beading and graining done entirely by hand. The dial also features two counters, resulting in perfect visual harmony. This unique timepiece is a proud partnership between Frederique Constant and Christiaan van der Klaauw.

MB&F’s automotive-inspired timepieces, starting with the HM5 in 2012, have garnered much acclaim. The HM8 Mark 2, the brand’s latest and most technologically advanced model to date, features an instantly recognisable speedometer-style display on the case, recalling the futuristic design of the 1970s.

Founder Maximilian Büsser’s childhood dream of becoming a car designer inspired the watch’s design, which uses a sapphire prism to display a jumping hour and sweeping minutes vertically.

The numerals are created back-to-front as they get reversed in the prism, and Super-LumiNova is added underneath for a flat luminescence. The HM8 Mark 2’s construction is inspired by the automobile world, with a water-resistant chassis and body panels.

Properties Prestige

ituated against the backdrop of the mighty Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town stands as a global gem of elegance, attracting investors with its charm and beauty. From the cosmopolitan city life to the serene suburbs, the property market in Cape Town offers an enticing array of opportunities, as echoed by industry experts Samantha Nel and Claude McKirby.

Samantha Nel, Area Manager for Pam Golding Properties in the Western Cape, speaks of Cape Town’s appeal, “Cape Town is recognised as a prime global city, acknowledged worldwide for its natural beauty, extensive amenities, leisure and entertainment activities, and exceptional lifestyle.” The city’s governance and financial stability further enhance its attractiveness to property buyers, both local and international.

The prestigious 2022 World Travel Awards bestowed upon Cape Town the title of Africa’s Leading City Destination of the year. This recognition cements the city’s status as not only a remarkable tourist destination but also a coveted place to call home, whether permanently or seasonally.

Cape Town’s property market dances within the constraints of its geographical boundaries. The coastline and Table Mountain, icons that define the city, also limit its space for new developments. As Samantha highlights, “The value offered by prime real estate in Cape Town is very hard to beat.” The scarcity factor imposed by these geographical features leads to elevated land values, especially in prime residential areas such as the Atlantic Seaboard, City Bowl, and Southern Suburbs.

Muizenberg Beach, Cape Town

South Africa’s opulent enclaves in Cape Town and Johannesburg

Cape Town

Claude McKirby, Owner of Sotheby’s International Realty Cape Town, echoes this sentiment, emphasising the ongoing demand for properties in prime areas. He adds, “Cape Town offers an inimitable lifestyle which is very difficult to beat when one considers the value to be had with the exchange rate very much in foreign buyer’s favour.”

For ultra-high and high-net-worth investors seeking the pinnacle of luxury and convenience, the Atlantic Seaboard emerges as a top choice. As Samantha elaborates, this draw lies in the proximity to the iconic Waterfront precinct and the charming city buzz.

However, those yearning for a quieter suburban life gravitate towards areas like Bishopscourt and Constantia in the Southern Suburbs, enjoying a more spacious lifestyle. The palette of property types in Cape Town reflects its diverse appeal. While freehold homes have historically dominated, the trend is shifting towards lock-up-and-go convenience.

Claude explains, “This depends largely on the suburb and the buyer’s requirements.” The Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl, constrained by land scarcity, witness the popularity of apartment living, offering stunning views and cosmopolitan living. In other areas, apartments are gaining traction as the lock-up-and-go lifestyle becomes more sought after.

Cape Town offers more than just exquisite properties. It’s a world of experiences waiting to be embraced. From the renowned V&A Waterfront with its abundant restaurants and shops to the lush Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, the city indulges every interest. The list is endless – from hiking Table Mountain’s trails to savouring wines in the Cape Winelands, the city weaves a tapestry of adventure.

Samantha assures prospective foreign investors that South Africa imposes no restrictions on property ownership, except for illegal aliens. Non-resident buyers can seamlessly engage in the market, though some procedural requirements apply, like registering entities purchasing property. Claude adds, “South Africa has one of the best Deeds Registry systems in the world, offering certainty and security in respect of property ownership.”

Cape Town’s property market shines amidst the backdrop of South Africa’s economic fluctuations. The city’s resilience stems from its enduring

appeal, attracting not only local buyers but also those seeking to relocate from other major cities. The stability of the high-end market stands out, particularly for international buyers, who find exceptional value in Cape Town’s offerings.

The future of Cape Town’s property market intertwines innovation and tradition. With space at a premium, the city embraces densification. As Samantha makes clear, “Single-family freehold homes in prime areas [are] being replaced with small developments of several sectional title units.” The demand for prime locations, coupled with top-tier amenities and reputable schools, promises a bright future for Cape Town’s property market.

In the end, Cape Town’s property market transcends the realm of bricks and mortar. It embodies a lifestyle, an experience, and an investment in the unparalleled beauty of a city that is as unique as it is desirable. With panoramic landscapes, cultural richness, and a flourishing real estate landscape, Cape Town continues to call on those seeking a slice of heaven in every sense.

Johannesburg

Mckenna Senior Property Practitioner Fine &

he vibrant city of Johannesburg, often referred to as the “City of Gold,” has long been a magnet for property investors seeking a blend of economic prosperity, cultural diversity, and unparalleled natural beauty. With its bustling energy, historical significance, and a dynamic property landscape, Johannesburg stands as a testament to the evolution of South Africa’s real estate market. In an exclusive interview with key players in the local property industry, we delve into the facets that make Johannesburg's property market a captivating investment opportunity.

Janet Erasmus, a Property Practitioner for Fine & Country South Africa, highlights, “Johannesburg is the economic hub of South Africa, and its northern suburbs, including Bryanston, are currently seen as areas of huge opportunity for investors to buy.” This sentiment echoes the city's vital role in the country’s economic landscape, serving as a thriving epicentre for various industries.

Isobel McKenna, Senior Property Practitioner at Fine & Country South Africa, expands on the allure of the city’s residential areas, stating that ultrahigh and high net worth investors tend to gravitate towards northern suburbs such as Bryanston, Sandhurst, Hyde Park, Melrose, Houghton, and Westcliff. These locales, with their proximity to the Sandton business district, exude an air of exclusivity and luxury that attracts discerning investors.

The attractive quality of Johannesburg’s properties emerges from their seamless integration with various amenities. Janet further explains, “Easy access to various amenities, including shopping centres, excellent schools, world-class healthcare facilities, and recreational facilities, make it an attractive choice for professionals and families.” The convenience of

modern living, coupled with a touch of opulence, defines the character of the city’s properties. Cobus Odendaal, CEO at Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty - Johannesburg & Randburg, provides deeper insights into the most sought-after residential areas. “Sandhurst is the quintessence of the phrase ‘where the other half lives,’ and this northern Johannesburg suburb is regarded as the most exclusive and prestigious in Gauteng,” he explains. The aura of Sandhurst’s privacy and security combined with its lavish homes creates an irresistible combination for high net worth individuals.

Westcliff, with its panoramic views and a strong sense of community, also entices those seeking a harmonious blend of tradition and tranquility. Cobus highlights that “Bryanston, which is traditionally regarded as the domain of the wealthy,

offers a property landscape dominated by expansive family homes on generous erven.”

The rich tapestry of attractions in Johannesburg complements its thriving property market. Cobus points out that activities such as world-class golf courses, botanical gardens, cycling parks, outdoor sports facilities, street markets, and game parks are within a short drive of the city. For those within Bryanston, the Bryanston Country Club offers a haven of recreation.

Game Reserve, Johannesburg

Foreign investors eyeing Johannesburg are welcomed, with Cobus clarifying, “Yes, they can and there are no restrictions except when it comes to bank loans which are capped at 50% of the property price.” Johannesburg’s property market stands as a flicker of transparency, thanks to South Africa’s robust Deeds Registry system that guarantees ownership security.

Comparing Johannesburg’s property market to other major cities in South Africa, Cobus points out that while growth might be slower in Johannesburg than in Cape Town, the city remains an attractive investment hub due to its status as the financial epicentre of the nation. He advises, “Currently, the best investment in Johannesburg is in the luxury market as you are getting a lot of bang for your buck.”

Looking to the future, Johannesburg’s property market brims with promise, albeit amid cautious optimism. As Cobus notes, investors are awaiting positive indicators in the eco-political sphere before fully seizing the opportunities that Johannesburg presents.

The real estate market flourishes in Antigua and Barbuda, Cayman Islands, and Turks and Caicos

Antigua & Barbuda

ntigua & Barbuda, a stunning Caribbean island nation, has long been synonymous with beachfront luxury and exclusivity. From villas with private plunge pools to over-water bungalows and private island resorts, the twin-island destination offers a myriad of options for those seeking their ideal property.

Kathleen Mcdonald, Director of Sales and Client Services at Antigua and Barbuda Sotheby’s International Realty, eloquently describes the appeal of the country: “Antigua and Barbuda is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and captivating islands in the eastern Caribbean hemisphere. Our island is the perfect environment for the discerning real estate investor desirous of owning a little piece of paradise.”

The appeal of Antigua and Barbuda goes beyond its stunning landscapes; it boasts a developed economy, a high level of medicine and education, and a growing focus on tourism, agriculture, and investment. Foreigners are enticed by the prospect of obtaining citizenship through the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Programme, offering visa-free travel to the Schengen countries, the UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Antigua, famous for its 365 beaches – one for each day of the year – has earned its reputation for incredible white-sand beaches, making it a sanctuary for Caribbean beach getaways. Kathleen Mcdonald emphasises the accessibility of an Antigua vacation, stating, “Everything from luxe resorts to simple beach houses makes an Antigua vacation more accessible than you might expect.” Besides its picturesque coastline, Antigua is renowned for its rich sailing history, with historic UNESCO-protected forts and harbours that beckon adventurers to explore the island by sea.

In contrast, Barbuda offers a more off-the-beaten-path experience, with its less crowded beaches sprinkled with light pink sand, stretching for miles. The two islands together form a perfect blend of history and culture, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in vibrant carnivals, sip drinks at beachside rum bars, and enjoy unique experiences like swimming with stingrays and dancing to the tunes of a steelpan orchestra.

With Antigua and Barbuda positioned as an ultimate real estate and lifestyle destination, the luxury property market thrives, attracting new investors searching for their dream holiday homes or those seeking to embrace the Caribbean culture. Kathleen explains, “The real estate market in Antigua and Barbuda is bolstered by our thriving tourism sector’s influx of travellers to our shores. Foreigners seek to own a piece of paradise, the quintessential Caribbean lifestyle, beautiful sea views matched with a stunning villa, and modern amenities.”

Kathleen highlights the sought-after features and design trends in highend properties: “Indoor-outdoor living, open concept layouts, expansive

outdoor entertainment centres, fitness and wellness components, modern amenities, waterfront or beachfront locations, private jetties, and contemporary styles with Caribbean flair are some of the key elements.”

Antigua and Barbuda’s real estate market is highly favourable for investors, thanks to its political stability, strong investor protection, and tax efficiency with no income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, and property tax rates as low as 0.1% to 0.5%. The Citizenship by Investment Programme also offers generous financial incentives, making it even more appealing to potential investors.

Current market trends indicate increased demand for foreign properties, and Antigua and Barbuda are no exception. As the islands witness new and exciting developments, the real estate sector is expected to experience substantial growth, meeting the high demand for both sales and rentals.

“Antigua and Barbuda is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and captivating islands in the eastern Caribbean hemisphere.”

Cayman Islands

he irresistible charm of the Cayman Islands is as crystal-clear as its turquoise waters, captivating the hearts of property seekers from around the world. With its stunning beaches, remarkable oceanfront properties, and a burgeoning real estate market, this island paradise stands as a testament to sophistication and refinement.

Sheena Conolly, the Owner and Broker of Cayman Islands Sotheby’s International Realty, along with Kristy Rivers, Vice President of Business Development & Leasing at Dart Real Estate, offer invaluable insights into the draw and prospects of this captivating island’s luxury property market.

With its unmatched quality of life, the Cayman Islands welcomes seekers of affluence. Sheena Conolly affirms, “Boasting one of the highest qualities of life anywhere, The Cayman Islands offers a wide selection of properties.” The past five years have seen a remarkable surge in luxury property sales, a trend that is projected to persist, as Sheena predicts.

“The Cayman Islands is a destination of choice for those HNW & UHNW families and executives seeking a warm climate, and tax-free residence,” asserts Sheena Conolly. This international appeal is mirrored by Kristy Rivers’ observation: “Buyers of luxury properties in the Cayman Islands have historically been a mix of residents and high-net-worth individuals from North America and Europe.” The island’s tax-neutral status and wealth of investment options make it a charming prospect for both personal enjoyment and financial gain.

The island’s appeal is not limited to its breathtaking beaches. The iconic Seven Mile Beach, Cayman’s Ritz Carlton, and a constellation of private condominium residences accentuate Grand Cayman’s enticement. Kristy Rivers illuminates the demand for canal properties in proximity to golf courses and communities like Camana Bay, where opulence meets convenience.

In the Cayman Islands, luxury living transcends beachfront paradises. Homes equipped with cutting-edge technology, smart features, and

sustainable designs are the new stars. Kristy Rivers explains, “What we are seeing in high demand are smart homes with high-level finishings, top-of-the-line appliances, and built with premium materials.” This evolution redefines luxury, making eco-friendly living a coveted aspect. The Cayman Islands’ tax neutrality is a cornerstone of its appeal. Sheena Conolly emphasises, “The Cayman Islands is a tax-neutral destination.” This financial stability translates into growing property values and investment opportunities, fuelled by the island’s flourishing economic landscape.

As the Cayman Islands continue to attract discerning individuals and families, the luxury real estate market’s trajectory is clear. Kristy Rivers envisions a future where homes harmonise with eco-consciousness: “It is becoming increasingly important to our tenants and residents to be located within developments that can demonstrate a commitment to sustainability.” The Cayman Islands’ proactive approach to green

urks and Caicos, a jewel of a destination, has emerged as a premier choice for those seeking to invest in the luxury property market. With its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and a flourishing hospitality sector, this idyllic country has become synonymous with exclusivity.

“Turks and Caicos is home to an ideal combination of accessibility from the US from major hubs, exceptional beaches and waters, developed infrastructure and high-quality design and construction – all supported by a strong hospitality and high-end service industry,” shares Nina Siegenthaler, Vice President of Turks and Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty. The enchantment of Turks and Caicos lies not only in its natural richness but also in the diversity of its residential areas.

Nina explains, “The interesting thing about the Turks & Caicos is that you have more than one high-quality area.” From the enclaves of Leeward and Grace Bay to the exclusive pockets within Turtle Tail and Chalk Sound, the island offers a plethora of options. The Amanyara resort and private villas grace the northwestern shore, emitting an air of exclusivity and privacy.

Parrot Cay, a private island resort managed by COMO hotels, has witnessed noteworthy sales, including transactions valued at a staggering $27 million. Beyond the main island, South Caicos with its luxurious Sailrock development and Ambergris Cay with its private runway have attracted high-end investors, further solidifying the island’s appeal.

What makes properties in Turks and Caicos so irresistible? Nina explains, “The combination of ease of access and exceptional quality of the waterfront with the design and quality of the homes combine beautifully with a sought-after short-term rental operation.” Owners have the option to rent out their properties for high average daily rates, tapping into the vibrant resort operations or private villa management companies.

The recent addition of Rock House to the market has added a fresh dimension to the island’s offerings. This new style and nature-driven setting have captivated discerning visitors seeking a unique and authentic experience.

The tapestry of experiences available to potential property investors in Turks and Caicos is rich and diverse. Nina highlights, “Visitors and owners are blown away by the amount of excellent dining venues, grocery stores, and activities available.” From local gems like Da Conch Shack and Omar’s to refined dining experiences at resorts and independent favourites such as Coco Bistro and the newly opened Marine Room, culinary adventures abound. Beyond dining, the island offers a spectrum of activities. The Royal Turks & Caicos golf club, crowned the #1 Caribbean

golf course, tempts golf enthusiasts. Horseback riding with Provo Ponies and a selection of water-based excursions like snorkelling, diving, wake-boarding, and kite-surfing create an irresistible appeal, drawing enthusiasts from around the world.

Looking ahead, the prospects for properties and property prices in Turks and Caicos are promising. While housing stock shortages pose a current challenge, the completion of exceptional homes and new developments is anticipated to bolster re-sale inventory. The island has witnessed steady appreciation since the aftermath of the 2008-2010 financial crisis, with double-digit appreciation from 2020 to 2022.

Turks and Caicos also stands apart from volatile markets, with demand consistently on the rise. The expansion of the airport and increased flights, including direct flights from London by Virgin, heralds a new era of growth. With ongoing improvements in infrastructure and amenities, the emergence of out-islands as evolving markets within the TCI is on the horizon. Scarcity of beach and waterfront properties, coupled

with island-wide enhancements, is expected to fuel pricing upwards in the mid-to-long term.

In essence, Turks and Caicos stand as an oasis of investment opportunity, seamlessly weaving together natural beauty, architectural brilliance, and a vibrant hospitality sector. As Nina Siegenthaler aptly summarises, “There is a wonderful blend of local and international talent supporting these service environments that high-end travellers and investors desire.” With each sunset painting the sky in hues of gold and coral, the allure of Turks and Caicos shines ever brighter, beckoning discerning investors to make their mark on this slice of paradise.

“The enchantment of Turks and Caicos lies not only in its natural richness but also in the diversity of its residential areas.”

Archicam’s Koh Krobey Weekend Home project offers a serene retreat just outside the bustling capital city of Phnom Penh. Located in the Koh Krobey district along the Bassac River, this modern and minimalistic house provides a much-needed escape for a client and his family.

The client’s main desire was to incorporate the river view into the master bedroom and living room, while also enhancing the overall enjoyment of the family.

Given Cambodia’s hot and humid climate, living with an open space is essential to receive natural light and air, as well as to connect the house with the surrounding greenery. The architects aimed to create a recreational atmosphere where people could gather and interact, while still respecting traditional styles.

The location of Koh Krobey, next to the Bassac River, provides a fertile environment

for cultivation and a connection to nature. Tranquility, trees, water, and fresh air are all integral parts of the lodge’s design. The architects carefully planned the arrangement of each function, including the backyard, riverside house, swimming pool, minibar, porch, dining room, cooking area, and parking lot.

The Veil house design features a layer of screens and facades that maintain a connection between the inhabitants and their surroundings, while also offering privacy when needed. The two-storey structure respects the height of neighbouring houses, and the white colour blends humbly with the village.

The interior space welcomes visitors with a calming white ambiance that contrasts with a few splashes of colour to create a fresh atmosphere. Square-shaped ventilation blocks serve as a modern yet humble façade, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal.

Koh Krobey Weekend Home

Villa 42, named after its house number, is a contemporary architectural masterpiece designed to enhance the beauty of its neighbourhood in Phnom Penh. Situated in the peaceful Toul Kork district, known for its villas and gated communities, the house offers a liveable space for the client and the ability to host gatherings of up to 30 guests.

Privacy was a key consideration for the client, who wanted a clean and impressive house that added to the street’s aesthetics. The architects successfully combined contemporary lines and sophisticated materials with a focus on integrating nature into the design. The white wall surrounding the property acts as a symbolic element of privacy while also revealing a vibrant interior when viewed from within.

The building follows district regulations, with a setback of over seven metres from the

street, respecting the surrounding views. The ground floor, raised 1.8 metres above ground level, features two distinct areas: the staff section on the left and the homeowner’s area on the right. The open floor plan connects the living area, playground, dining room, and kitchen, with a corridor leading to the bedrooms. The first floor houses a significant master bedroom and three additional bedrooms, all connected by an open living area around a courtyard.

The top floor is designed for relaxation and recreation, featuring a gym hall with a glass wall facing the central swimming pool. A private rooftop garden offers a serene green space in the heart of the city.

Villa 42 harmoniously combines contemporary design, privacy, and a connection with nature, providing a luxurious and tranquil living experience.

Xiamen Winland International Finance Center is a development that embodies the very essence of modern-day Xiamen, China. It comprises four main sections, each complementing the other in terms of function and business value. These sections include office towers, retail space, an art and design boutique hotel, and serviced apartments. Together, they form a community that is characterised by contemporary art and lifestyle, which has the potential to be extended to the neighbouring area.

The development of Xiamen as a modern city is rooted in its rich history. Gulangyu Island, a renowned symbol of Xiamen, is considered one of the starting points of modern-day China. With the development of the business centre near Kaiyuan Road,

Zhongshan Road, and Datong Road, and the rise of Xiamen University and Jimei School Village, Xiamen has transformed from a traditional town into a modern metropolis. Looking out over Kinmen Island and the Taiwan Strait, Xiamen Winland IFC is the closest building complex from mainland China to Taiwan. The axis of this landmark building complex directly faces the heart of Taiwan, symbolising and embracing peace across the Taiwan Strait. It takes the form of a grand architectural gateway, indicative of the open and inclusive urban culture of Xiamen, creating a new skyline for the modern-day city.

In support of the development of the Cross-Strait Financial Centre and Xiamen Winland IFC, the Xiamen government

approved the re-routing of Metro Line 2 to connect to the Winland project, naming the metro station ‘Cross-Strait Financial Centre Station’. Both the north and south sunken plazas are connected to the metro station, forming a vertical space with its every corner accessible by leisurely walking. Arranged along the walking paths, the retail spaces serve as amenities to the office towers, the hotel, and serviced apartments, forming a vertical urban community.

The complex is an outstanding example of art, functionality, and engineering. The project’s form relates to the surrounding natural environment, the sea, and the twisting shapes of the towers correspond to the undulation of the waves, ensuring a view of the sea from as many angles of the

towers as possible. The horizontal design concept ensures the integrity of the buildings as a group and creates visual grandeur and harmony. The use of blue glass panels for the curtain wall and the silver horizontal aluminium for sunshades achieves a harmony of colours on the appearance of the towers. The architectural form of the project is inspired by the hemlines of Mazu’s skirt, the most influential goddess of the sea in Chinese maritime culture. The project uses eye-catching modern architectural language to embody the important folk beliefs of the region, adding a touch of cultural significance to the modern development. The project is truly a beautifully-curated modern marvel that seamlessly blends art, functionality, and engineering.

Zhixiong Yang is the founder of Shanghai Lingke Architectural Design Company - ALK Design. He received rigorous and systematic education in architecture in the UK and graduated with Distinction grades. After that, he worked for many years at internationally renowned design companies. Since the establishment of ALK, they have gained rich practical experience in the fields of luxury residences, scientific and technological innovation headquarters, and industrial communities. They have also won several well-known foreign design awards.

ALK recently completed an impressive project in Xinhua County, Hunan Province, China. The project is a high-grade residential development located along the Zijang River,

covering an area of 57,300m2 with a total construction area of 236,800m2 . It comprises 10 high-rise residences with double-height gardens, seven high-rise houses with spacious balconies, a community club in the central lot with a stepped garden, and 21 townhouses, the ground floor of which is used for commercial purposes.

The design of this project was inspired by the local landscapes, specifically the terraced landscape. It was created to form a beautiful city skyline and a vivid architectural group by incorporating the image of this famous local landscape. Moreover, the design aimed to differentiate itself from traditional residential projects by providing more natural space both indoors and outdoors.

BEST RESIDENTIAL HIGH RISE ARCHITECTURE HUNAN PROVINCE, CHINA Dajing Huating Garden Residential Community by Shanghai Lingke Architectural Design Co., LTD (ALK DESIGN) & Hunan Jindi Hongsheng Real Estate Development Co.LTD

The architectural design of this project stands out from its surrounding plots, highlighting its signature and uniqueness. It also creates a distinct sense of privacy and a rich and vibrant urban space. The facade is simple and modern, and the floor plan is efficient and flexible. The volume is fully responsive to urban design guidelines, featuring elegant and classic hanging gardens. The unique double-height balcony design ensures the best views, creating an excellent living space.

One of the significant advantages of the project is its location along the Zijang River. The houses primarily face the river, while the secondary direction is the north hill peak, which provides a mountain backdrop. Approximately 78% of the units offer a panoramic view of the

river, and 22% of the units provide close-range views of the mountains and gardens. The layout of the houses also ensures privacy protection for the residents. To comply with planning regulations, the project required a large underground area for parking. The client wanted the parking area to be separated from the high-rise residences and the townhouses. This requirement was successfully incorporated into the design, ensuring that the parking area did not interfere with both indoors and outdoors. This project serves as an excellent example of a residential community that combines urban planning concepts with local landscapes. The design is modern, and flexible, with a focus on creating a sense of place and establishing a landmark image.

Prestige Global Designs’ new showroom occupies a 3,600 sq. ft. two-storey shophouse in the centre of Singapore. When the directors of Prestige visited the site, they were amazed by its different pockets of spaces and the beautiful airwell. The company wanted to create a showroom that would look different and interesting, and where guests would be able to experience beautiful vignettes and experiential zones that demonstrate the local firm’s design prowess. Stepping into the showroom is like entering The Enchanted World.

Consistent with the eclectic theme, bold colours, strong motifs and textured materials were used throughout the showroom. The facade of the shophouse was painted in white, giving a very simple and clean impression. The

design firm wanted their guests to feel inspired and excited. Therefore, a dramatic contrast was needed between the exterior and interior. At the entrance foyer, guests are greeted by a pair of regal art deco sliding doors. The walls in the foyer are cladded in fluted veneered panels to add texture, yet maintaining simplicity so as to create a dramatic contrast with the lobby. In the lobby, bamboo detailing, arranged in playful geometric patterns on the hand-painted walls, offers a touch of the Chinoiserieinfluence within the same space.

Prestige then went on to create a contemporary kitchen, nicknamed The Golden Goose & The Golden Eggs, using touches of eclectic elements alongside leading luxury brands. The original 228 sq. ft. layout was dimly lit. By widening the opening between the

The Golden Goose & The Golden Eggs

courtyard and the kitchen and introducing a good amount of artificial lighting, a bright and spacious kitchen was created with a good visual flow. The ceiling lighting works well with the granite flooring, creating a visual impact, while the colourful rice buckets displayed above the kitchen cabinets add a touch of fun and contrast.

For their residential interior project, a home in Singapore called The Hobbyists Wonderland, Prestige worked on improving its layout with a lot of consideration given to spatial planning, to achieve an interior that looks more inviting and spacious without feeling too cluttered. The clients are a family of four, with a huge collection of Lladro porcelain so Prestige had to cater for enough display areas to showcase them. The family also requested for different areas of the home to echo their individual personalities.

With its mirrored walls and art deco-styled decorative screens, the living area is certainly the home’s most glamorous space. Accented with colourful cushions from Jim Thompson and Christian Lacroix, the generous proportions of the Ditre Italia sofa offers an inviting space to lounge. The wife regarded the dining room as the happiest place for family gatherings. The Zanotta Reale dining table was therefore created with a compact, transparent skeleton embellished with a crystal top.

Prestige’s dedication to understanding their clients’ vision and translating it into a functional and beautiful space is truly commendable. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality ensures that each project is executed with precision and care.

Located in the Noge neighbourhood of Yokohama, the Hinode-cho Station area has experienced gradual architectural decay over the years, resulting in a decline in its vitality. However, the City of Yokohama has recently made efforts to revitalise this historically commercial district through the construction of commercial-residential complexes along the Hirado-Sakuragi Doro thoroughfare. These complexes typically house retail stores and service businesses on the lower levels, while the upper residential levels aim to repopulate the urban area.

While the ground level of the Z Yokohama Sakuragicho residential complex has a retail store, the exterior design features uniformly aligned openings concealed by an outer skin, intentionally obscuring the distinction between residential and other uses. In Yokohama, a preference for classical design can be observed, as seen in the restored red-brick warehouse quarter and other historical buildings. To capture the essence of Yokohama’s architectural heritage, a grooved pattern with an additional 15mm thickness was used to create the appearance of brickwork, evoking a sense of classic charm. The balcony interiors were designed with a wood finish to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere. The project stands as a testament to the pursuit of redefining traditional concepts in large apartment block design. With a focus on uniqueness and familiar characteristics, this development has made a significant impact on the architectural landscape.

Corporation’ Core Pacific Plaza is more than just a commercial project – it’s a symbol of Taiwan’s commitment to sustainable construction and innovative design. By 2025, the 16,485m tower will stand tall in Taipei’s Songshan District, setting a high standard for the city’s urban landscape.

But what sets this project apart is its dedication to fulfilling ESG’s sustainable development criteria. Core Pacific Plaza will receive international construction certificates such as LEED and WELL, as well as Taiwan’s Green Building Label, Intelligent Building Label, and Structure Accreditation Building certification. These outstanding certifications will ensure that the building meets the best and highest environmental, health, intelligence and safety standards.

But that’s not all. Core Pacific Plaza has achieved contribution incentives for its resilience, liveability and intelligence, thanks

to several innovative design features. The basement and first floor offer retail functions, while the public halls on the first and second floors feature stand-out high ceilings. The first basement level contains a cinema, conference hall, food court and dining spaces, while the third to nineteenth floors are dedicated to grade A offices.

What’s more, the plaza’s pedestrianfriendly streets contribute to its liveability and resilience, while the arbor greenery on the east side of Dongning Road shapes the viewing of the national historic site. The south side of the base is set back to an open space with an average depth of about 25 metres, while the west side of the base is combined with leisure and commercial trails to create an open space for large-scale public activities.

The Core Pacific Plaza, once completed, will become a new landmark in the city, reminding us of the importance of sustainable development and innovative design.

Urban Green, developed by Kusto Home, offers plenty of green space, and various healthcare amenities. With a construction density of only 32.33%, the project is like an oasis surrounded by generous green space, inheriting the resort lifestyle from Kusto Home’s other beautifully constructed project, Diamond Island. Urban Green aims to create a harmonious living environment model by combining the dynamic urban rhythm and peaceful nature. The project consists of two towers. The Aster comprises 177 residential units where residents can enjoy an exclusive and nature-oriented living experience with selfcontained, high-class amenities and a limited number of apartments. On the other hand, The Bliss tower offers generous open

spaces and a variety of internal amenities to cater to the needs of gatherings with family and friends.

Additionally, Urban Green Walk is a combination of beautifully constructed shophouses located at the podium of The Aster and The Bliss towers. This place will provide a series of entertainment, culinary, shopping, and healthcare services for all Urban Green residents and the surrounding community, thereby forming a dynamic commercial district as colourful as the streets in the city centre of Saigon.

To create a feeling of the best of both worlds, Urban Green offers top-notch amenities, including gardens, BBQ stations, gym, yoga room and a BioDesign swimming pool with technology from Italy.

Diamond Island, a luxurious condominium project, has revolutionised Vietnam’s real estate market by introducing resort living standards. With a modern design consisting of six towers, Kusto Home has focused on creating beautiful vast green spaces and amenities to maximise the land area.

Nestled by the Saigon River and Giong Ong To River, Diamond Island has become a precious gem offering a unique home resort concept and a luxurious riverside lifestyle in Ho Chi Minh City. After phase 1, Diamond Island has become the benchmark of luxurious riverside residences in Ho Chi Minh City. The project’s second phase, known as Family Island, offers a great foundation for every generation to live a happy life. Diamond Island offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the

rivers and the central business district of District 1, bringing daily freshness and health benefits to residents.

NQH Architects, founded by Mr. Ngo Quang Hien, one of the most reputable resort architects in Vietnam, was responsible for the architecture of the second phase. The phase’s purpose is to continue developing the honeycomb structure, modern architectural style, and inherent values of phase 1.

Kusto Home used 87.5% of the land area for green spaces and amenities, meaning that almost every square metre served family members’ needs for relaxation and enjoyment. Specifically, the green area for each resident at Diamond Island is 16m² per person, which is four times higher than the green area planning target of Ho Chi Minh City.

Lead8 has demonstrated its ability to deliver innovative and culturallyfocussed developments across China and Taiwan. From the creation of a beautifully vibrant mixed-use destination in the heart of Wuhan, the celebration of Hakka culture in the design of the Far Eastern Department Store in Zhubei to the integration of a new city centre in Nantong, Lead8 has shown its commitment to creating dynamic spaces that engage with their surroundings and enhance the lives of those who experience them.

MixC Wuhan is a new retail development that forms the centrepiece of a major lifestyledriven urban destination for central China’s most populous city. The vision for the scheme was to be a jewel in the heart of the city. The concept looks to create an interactive city interface, creating a pulse in the central district

and bringing an energy that harmonises with, yet also contrasts the city’s natural and urban edge. The destination is imagined as a place where people can shop, dine, live, work and be inspired – the heart of the community that nourishes a balanced life.

The landmark retail development features the 190,000m2 MixC retail mall and a pedestrian shopping street, which are connected to and support the wider mixeduse scheme including two commercial office towers and four residential buildings.

In Taiwan, Lead8’s Far Eastern Department Store design in Zhubei introduces a distinctive and new addition to the department store experience in Hsinchu County and has also been welcomed as a platform for cultural inheritance in the area. The development is located in Zhubei Zhuangjing North Road,

MixC Wuhan, Wuhan, China

adjacent to the Hsinchu Science Park and near the highspeed railway station. The department store is spread over eight aboveground levels and two basement levels with a design that has taken inspiration from the importance of celebrating local culture, innovatively reimagining spaces using key values and elements of the Hakka culture.

Hakka culture is a dominant part of the surrounding Hsinchu Country with Hakka family groups accounting for over 80% of the total population. The design team sought to interpret elements from the local culture through the use of colour, texture and lighting, and transpose them into different settings to create an array of experiences for visitors.

In the heart of the Nantong’s new Central Business District, Nantong Golden Eagle World occupies one of the developer’s most

prestigious sites in China. The brief for the scheme was to conceive an integrated, visionary mixed-use project that would form a new contemporary and meaningful world-class city centre for the city.

The site enjoys views of the surrounding Langshan mountains, the urban cityscape and the world-famous Yangtze River. Canals flow through plots of the site, creating a waterfront landscape and opportunities for active waterside experiences.

Totalling 16,000m2 of land area, the development will spread across 650,000m2 of above-ground space and a further 260,000m2 below ground. Once complete, the scheme will comprise an incredible lineup of waterfront retail, F&B streets, super high-rise towers, premium office, hotel and serviced apartments.

Rose Apple Square is a project by Urban Living Solutions (ULS), founded in 2016 by Cambodian entrepreneur Mr. Kimleang Kean. ULS aims to create residential and commercial spaces in response to the kingdom’s rapid urbanisation. The project is a unique mixed-use community development intentionally designed for the next generation of urban professionals moving to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Everything a resident needs can be found in the first truly mixed-use development in the city.

The goal of Rose Apple Square was to bring an international-level development to the town of Siem Reap – a city known primarily for Angkor Wat, its tree-shaded river running through the town centre, a wide selection of restaurants and nightlife, and the welcoming smiles of the locals. As

the capital city of Phnom Penh continues to densify, ULS observed the expanding draw of Siem Reap for those coming from the rapidly developing capital in search of a home with more access to nature that also offers big-city opportunities and amenities.

Stretching over an area of roughly 6,400m2, Rose Apple Square is a contemporary hub spanning four different uses, each tied to a dedicated space. The project’s residential component offers the perfect housing option for those looking to invest in a permanent or part-time home in Siem Reap. The 207 units come in four different sizes.

Rose Apple Offices have 1,710m2 of customisable workspaces spread throughout three floors. It also boasts Siem Reap’s first strata-titled office space, available for sale to the city’s booming SMEs ecosystem.

The commune is an adaptation to the evolving idea of co-living, featuring 40 private units, each with a bathroom and balcony. These share 140m2 of lounge space with a fullyequipped communal kitchen.

The exterior includes a unique plan and vertical geometry painted white to minimise heat absorption. The site layout and use of skylights maximise natural sunlight to the central courtyard and interior corridors. The interiors include tile throughout all floor plans to provide a comfortable cool-to-

touch surface suitable for the local climate. Exceptional wood finish accents are provided within the kitchen cabinetry to balance the surrounding white and hard surfaces, and full-height sliding glass doors open up to the balconies to maximise natural light, natural ventilation, and expand the living areas. Another exquisite project by Urban Living Solutions is Odom, an eye-catching mixeduse skyscraper in the capital’s swankiest neighbourhood. Odom is set to be the new architecture gold standard within Phnom Penh’s ever-evolving and one-of-a-kind urban landscape.

The exterior of the exhibition hall presented a vast, unused space that yearned for a vibrant centrepiece during the exhibition. The project aimed to transform this vacant area into more

than just a furniture showroom; it would serve as a meeting point and a restful oasis for visitors during their exploration of the exhibition.

This choice allowed for easy recycling and secondary use of the materials once the exhibition concluded. With 821 pieces of market-standard plywood, the construction process adhered to an economical design structure that significantly reduced both construction time and costs.

Furthermore, the architect embraced the ethos of recycling by repurposing the entire building to create 410 sets of tables and chairs for rural communities in the most costeffective manner. By incorporating designs that encouraged interaction and fun, these furniture pieces served to enrich community activities and foster interpersonal relationships within these small rural areas.

Setting the stage for the ApartHotel experience, the drop-off area and entrance lobbies exude an ambiance of elegance. Warm tones resonate throughout the design, reflecting the theme found within the suites. Oakwood, a renowned hotel operator, has been chosen to operate the hotel within Quayside JBCC, ensuring guests receive exceptional service. The project stands as a testament to modern architectural brilliance, seamlessly integrating luxury, convenience, and panoramic views.

Idan Chiang, the brilliant designer of Luxe Bénin, has elevated interior design with her visionary approach.

Luxe Bénin’s opulent design seamlessly integrates traditional silhouettes with artistic pieces that create a natural atmosphere. Ornamental lighting fixtures resembling blooming flowers add an elegant touch. The combination of varied hues and textured materials results in a visually stunning and artistic scene, imbuing the space with a captivating texture.

Entering the foyer, guests are greeted by whimsical artworks by Swiss painter Thierry Feuz. These pieces, adorned with sweet hues and romantic floral motifs, transport visitors to a world of colour and fantasy, offering respite from the urban jungle. At the end of the foyer, another painting by Thierry Feuz and a flower-inspired chandelier by Serip create a visual harmony that encapsulates and preserves beauty within the home.

This remarkable residence boasts a master bedroom, a second bedroom, a staff’s room, two bathrooms, a changing room in the foyer, walk-in closets, and other thoughtfully designed areas. The one-of-a-kind living room, encased in eye-catching floor-to-ceiling windows, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery and floods the space with abundant natural light.

A standout feature of the living room is a regal circular sofa, cleverly concealing a hidden TV behind a sliding art door. This design promotes family togetherness and a creative atmosphere. Metallic accents adorn the elegant trim, while beautiful black mirrored panels embellished with GUAXS’s creative floral designs lend a shimmering and luxurious feel to the base of the shelves.

In the enchanting embrace of Luxe Bénin, Idan Chiang merges artistry with practicality, creating a space where beauty and functionality intertwine seamlessly.

The Modiz Collection Bangpho by AssetWise is situated along Pracharat Sai 1 Road, running parallel to the enchanting Chao Phraya River, Bangkok. The design of this development achieves a harmonious balance between its exterior and interior architectural elements. White hues dominate both the exterior and interior design, skillfully intertwined with marble and black lines, embodying the project’s concept of contemporary classicism.

The crowning jewel of the design is the top floor, dedicated to lavish facilities for the residents’ enjoyment, accompanied by the mesmerising view of Chao Phraya River. Amenities include a swimming pool, fitness centre, and a rooftop garden, ensuring the epitome of luxurious living.

The interior design focuses on the opulence of marble and marble tiles, elegantly

contrasting with bold black lines. This design approach creates an atmosphere of ultimate luxury in every facility area, while providing open spaces perfect for various activities throughout the day.

Among the project’s main highlights is the Sky Vista Wine Bar, adorned with black tiles that beautifully contrast with the white ceilings. A large ceiling-to-floor window allows residents to savour views of the Chao Phraya River while indulging in the bar’s exquisite offerings. The Sky Vista Pool provides a serene sanctuary for residents to unwind, while the Sky Sunken Area and Rest & Relax Zone are adorned with lush greenery, fostering a tranquil ambiance.

AssetWise’s Modiz Collection Bangpho project encapsulates the epitome of luxury living, combining breathtaking views, meticulous design, and exceptional amenities.
