A TRUE METROPOLIS

Growth, trends, and investment opportunities in

Dubai

The Dubai property market has demonstrated remarkable growth and stability over the past year, characterised by several key trends. Peter Blenman, a Senior Global Property Consultant at Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty, highlights a notable shift in market dynamics. “Due to the number of transactions over the past four years, villa communities such as Jumeirah Golf Estates have transformed from being predominantly investment properties to being largely owner-occupied,” he notes. This shift has created a scarcity of new properties, leading to a “year-on-year increase in prices in the region of 30%.”

The luxury sector continues to thrive, attracting interest, particularly in areas like Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Islands, and Dubai Hills Estate. Peter explains, “The luxury real estate market continues to attract significant interest, with high-end properties performing exceptionally well.” He attributes this trend to an influx of high-net-worth individuals and developers building to a “luxury standard similar to the likes of Europe and US that has not been seen in Dubai to date.” Furthermore, sustainability is becoming increasingly important, with developments like Sustainable City emphasising eco-friendly features such as solar-powered homes and car-free zones.

Tamara Getigezheva, CEO of Mira Real Estate, observes a general rise in property prices and rental rates. “From 2023 to 2024, property prices in Dubai have increased by 10-15%, depending on the area,” she states. This is partly due to an influx of expatriates and a 15-20% increase in tourist numbers, which has positively impacted the short-term rental market. Tamara points out that Dubai’s “robust economic growth and the continuous emergence of new projects make it a magnet for international talent.” Investment opportunities abound in Dubai. Peter highlights Downtown Dubai, describing it as a “perpetual hotspot” due to iconic landmarks and high visitor traffic. He mentions the Baccarat development as a standout investment, offering “unobstructed views of the Burj

Khalifa.” In Jumeirah Golf Estates, Peter notes the trend of renovating older villas for resale, citing an example of a “five-bedroom villa with a basement...currently on the market for AED 17,450,000.”

Tamara advises investors to focus on emerging areas like Al Furjan and Al Jaddaf. “In these locations, you can acquire branded residences with luxurious finishes and attractive instalment plans for just $4,500 per square metre,” she recommends. These areas, while not yet as popular as others, offer significant growth potential and are strategically located close to major attractions.

Foreign investors are a vital component of Dubai’s property market. Peter emphasises their importance in diversifying the buyer base and adding market stability. He explains, “A foreign investor would look at the market in a slightly different light, as they could have exited an investment elsewhere in the world that has not necessarily been performing well.”

“Dubai’s robust economic growth and the continuous emergence of new projects make it a magnet for international talent.”

Sustainability and innovation are becoming more prevalent in new developments. Peter points to the adoption of international green building standards and renewable energy sources, like solar panels, as significant advancements. These measures not only support environmental goals but also enhance the long-term value of properties.

Looking ahead, both Peter and Tamara express optimism about the market’s future. Peter believes that the market will continue to mature and remain stable, driven by factors like population growth and regulatory changes. “The sentiment in Dubai is that the property market will continue to mature and remain stable over the next decade,” he asserts.

Tamara credits Dubai’s positive outlook to “visionary government reforms that continuously enhance business conditions and attract foreign investors.”

The Dubai property market is set for continued growth, bolstered by a mix of luxury offerings, sustainability initiatives, and a supportive environment for investors. The city’s focus on innovation and development positions it as a leading destination for real estate investment in the coming years.

Azizi Developments

MODERN Masterpieces

Dubai’s future shines bright with Azizi Developments’ iconic projects

As one of the leading private developers in the UAE, Azizi Developments is confident that its mega projects will leave a long-lasting legacy in Dubai. One of the key developments is Burj Azizi, which is destined to be the second tallest building in the world. Strategically located on a prime plot of land on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road, the tower is scheduled to be completed within four years. It will feature a vertical shopping mall, luxury residences, opulent penthouses, a seven-star hotel, a unique observation deck, and numerous high-end food and beverage options, among other unique and impressive features and amenities.

Another significant project is Azizi Venice, which will comprise more than 36,000 residential units across approximately 100 apartment complexes, and over 400 luxury villas and mansions. At the heart of Azizi Venice lies its luxurious pedestrian-friendly boulevard, which will be open-air in the winter and glass-covered in the summer to ensure a temperature-controlled space with year-round activity and visitors. Lined with three-storey buildings planned to host the world’s top retailers and brands,

nightlife, and entertainment options, as well as eateries that will represent a vast number of countries from across the world, Azizi Boulevard will become a new and distinctive point of interest on Dubai’s map of notable sights.

Another major attraction to be developed within Azizi Venice is Azizi Opera. Situated at the heart of the boulevard and built to the highest, most contemporary standards in design and architecture, Azizi Opera will become a significant venue for cultural and community events.

A prime tourist attraction and high-end local hotspot, Azizi Venice is planned to welcome over 30,000 visitors daily. The community will have a pair of Aziziowned and operated five-star hotels at the entrances, as well as a boutique hotel located on an island in the middle of the lagoon.

LONDON Riverside Living

A market of unmatched potential

London’s riverside property market has been an attractive option for buyers and investors for many years. With panoramic views and luxury features in high demand, this segment of the market has evolved significantly, driven by regeneration projects and a growing interest in properties that offer a connection to nature. “Properties with panoramic views and luxury features have always been in high demand along the riverfront,” says Sarah Bennett, Associate and Sales Manager at Knight Frank Battersea & Riverside office. “Regeneration has been a huge trend over the past few years with projects like Battersea Power Station attracting substantial global interest.” Sarah notes that another emerging theme is the appeal to pied-à-terre buyers and tenants, particularly those looking for properties close to nature, which makes London’s waterfront properties an attractive choice.

Nick Austin, Head of Residential Sales at RiverHomes, highlights a different aspect of the market’s evolution. “Due to the financial implications such as interest rate rises and the increase in the cost of living, there has been a softening in the market over the last 24 months. However, riverside property, along with any lower density commodity, will always hold its value compared to the conventional market.” The investment potential and long-term appreciation of riverside properties are significant. “The appeal of riverside living extends beyond the UK countryside,” says Sarah. “Knight Frank’s latest Waterfront data shows London’s riverside properties typically command a premium of 11%. This appreciation underscores the enduring attraction to waterfront

living in the heart of the capital.” Nick agrees, adding, “Riverside properties will always hold their values compared to other stock. Its kerb appeal means that there is a larger pool of buyers trying to break into that market. The obvious space constraints – there is only a finite amount of river frontage – results in higher demand for a limited amount of housing stock.”

The desire for rental properties along the London riverside has seen a significant increase. “Demand for rental properties has accelerated exponentially over the last three years,” says Nick. “In terms of percentage values, we’re seeing yields of 22% over the last 18 months. River frontage not only gives you a sense of tranquillity but better amenities such as pools, gyms, parking, and concierge services in most of the riverside developments.”

New developments and infrastructure projects continue to enhance the appeal of riverside properties. Nick mentions the Stag Brewery in Mortlake as an example. “This development shows great initiative for a community-led project. It is mixed-use and has a wide range of housing stock from small flats to larger homes. It will transform the area for the next 100 years.”

When purchasing a riverside property, there are unique challenges to consider. “There is undoubtedly a premium that comes with properties offering a direct riverside view, but this is something buyers are willing to accommodate,” says Sarah. Nick adds, “Two things that you do need to check: first, who

Sarah Bennett Associate and Sales Manager
Knight Frank Battersea & Riverside

is responsible for the river wall. Particularly for houses, riparian rights dictate responsibility for the river wall structure. This can be costly if overlooked. Second, check the flood risk.”

Riverside properties offer numerous lifestyle benefits and amenities. “Riverside locations not only offer fabulous views but many are now cultural destinations in their own right,” Sarah explains. “Looking at Battersea as an example, residents have a range of wonderful restaurants and shops on their doorstep. Plus, the Thames Clipper offers an efficient and scenic way to commute into the city, and you have one of the best parks in London to explore. The river also offers many opportunities for watersports, from rowing clubs near Putney Bridge to open water swimming in Canary Wharf.” Austin also highlights the unique benefits of riverside living. “Other than feeling like you’re in the middle of the countryside but with all the amenities of the city, the other benefit is that you’re probably able to have a boat at the end of the garden. And who wouldn’t want that?”

London’s riverside properties present a compelling option for buyers and investors, offering strong investment potential, unique lifestyle benefits, and the appeal of scenic waterfront living.

“Properties with panoramic views and luxury features have always been in high demand along the riverfront.”

SWISS SERENITY

Inside Switzerland’s exclusive property market

he Swiss high-end property market presents a distinctive landscape characterised by unique regulations and specialised market segments. Russell Collins, Head of Sales at Andermatt, emphasises that “demand for real estate in Andermatt exceeded supply in 2023.” As a popular destination for ambitious skiers and snow sports enthusiasts, Andermatt has attracted a diverse buyer demographic. This shift is largely due to significant investments in expanding the ski areas, developing summer sports, and enhancing the dining scene, including several Michelin-starred restaurants. Russell highlights that Andermatt now offers “the widest range of luxury real estate options for international buyers in Switzerland,” making it a prime location for high-net-worth individuals seeking modern and diverse architectural designs.

Nicola Christinger, an Associate at Knight Frank, provides insight into the diverse aspects of the Swiss high-end property market. She explains, “The high-end property market in Switzerland remains a niche market and therefore positions itself as quite unique.” This uniqueness is largely due to stringent regulations, such as ‘Lex Koller,’ which restricts the purchase of residential real estate by nonresidents. Nicola notes that there are distinct markets in Switzerland, with ski resorts like Verbier and Crans-Montana being accessible to non-residents, while major cities like Geneva and Zurich are not. These regulations ensure that the market remains specialised and exclusive, catering primarily to those with residency status.

Economic factors have significantly influenced demand, with Switzerland benefiting from global taxation changes. As Nicola states, these factors “have confirmed Switzerland’s status as a safe haven for buyers.” The country’s attractive lifestyle, high-quality international schools, and easy access to major airports further enhance its appeal. Specific areas like Cologny and CollongeBellerive in Geneva, known for their luxurious villas and proximity to the city centre, are particularly sought after. “Stunning views, superb range of international schools, and proximity to the international airports” make these locations highly desirable for affluent buyers.

Edouard Fragnière, Exceptional Properties Officer at Cardis Immobilier Sotheby’s International Realty, offers further insights into the market’s offerings. He highlights the “complete privacy and a remarkable location” of many high-end properties, such as those that provide waterfront access and proximity to world-renowned ski resorts. Edouard notes, “We have houses with nine holes in the garden or another one with a paddle court,” showcasing the luxurious and exclusive nature of the market. This appeal extends to wealthy individuals from various backgrounds, including families relocating for the educational opportunities and entrepreneurs seeking a more favourable tax system.

The purchasing process in Switzerland varies for international and domestic buyers. Edouard explains that while EU citizens enjoy similar rights to Swiss nationals when purchasing properties, non-EU buyers face stricter regulations and limitations on property size. He notes, “For people outside Europe, the process can be longer,” emphasising the importance of legal expertise in navigating

these complexities. Despite these challenges, the Swiss property market remains attractive due to its stability, safety, and high standards of living. Looking ahead, the trend towards highend residences with hotel-style facilities is expected to continue. Nicola mentions that these properties, which offer amenities like concierge services and fitness centres, are increasingly popular among wealthy investors. The

desire for second homes and branded residences is driven by “rising affluence and the desire of wealthy investors to expand their residential property portfolios,” she adds.

Edouard also anticipates stable prices and continued demand, noting that Switzerland will always be an appealing place to live due to its political stability, security, and quality education.

NATURE’S HARMONY

Inspired by architect Richard Neutra, this property, dating back to the 1960s, was completely renovated in 2010.

Situated amidst greenery, it offers a serene escape with 4,334m2 of land featuring a swimming pool and a stunning view over Lake Lugano. The villa embodies Neutra’s modernist philosophy, merging glass-walled rooms with nature, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

The main house, spanning approximately 182m2, includes a spacious living area with a fireplace, a contemporary kitchen, and a master bedroom with an en suite. An annexe with a distinct 60s flair adds extra charm. The property boasts beautiful gardens, a veranda, and exceptional views. Located in Loggio, Valsolda, it offers privacy, lake and mountain views, and access to trekking and water sports. £2.4m / €2.8m / $3.1m Sara Zanotta t. +39 0344 32219

FUTURE FLIGHT

THE RISE OF EVTOL AIRCRAFT AND THE FUTURE OF URBAN AIR TRAVEL

This year’s Farnborough Airshow resulted in over £81 billion worth of deals over five days, with almost all the aircraft sold powered by Jet A1 aviation fuel. This could be about to change forever, as a new aircraft industry is on the brink of transforming how we travel short distances to escape congested cities worldwide. Several electrically powered “taxi” aircraft were displayed at Farnborough, some having already completed test flights, while others are in their final stages of development.

Some of these aircraft will be piloted, while others will operate autonomously. Science fiction movies have depicted a future where the skies above cities are filled with flying cars; this will soon become a reality. Several firms showcasing their eVTOL (Electrical Vertical Take Off and Landing) included AutoFlight’s five-seater aircraft, which completed its inaugural flight across the Yangtze River in China. The flight covered a distance of 25km and took 10 minutes. In comparison, the 5.5km straight-line distance between Nanjing UAV

Base and Yuzui Wetland Park requires a 20km drive by car, taking 25 minutes. AutoFlight’s aircraft can cover this distance in just five minutes, cutting travel time by 80%.

Luxaviation Group, the world’s largest private jet management company, and Sigma Air Mobility are partnering with Volt Aero and their hybrid-electric Cassio aircraft, with the first prototype expected to fly by the end of this year. CEO of Volt Aero, Jean Botti, described the initial five-seat Cassio 330 aircraft as a game-changer, making executive travel accessible to more people rather than just an elite few who use current business jet aircraft.

The first prototype will be fully assembled by the end of 2024, with flight testing in early 2025. If everything goes to plan, the aircraft will have certification to fly commercially by the end of 2025. The three-model range planned, consisting of 5, 6, and 12-passenger versions, will be capable of a 300-plus kilometre range. Californian eVTOL developer Wisk Aero

Midnight eVTOL aircraft

– the only western company pursuing an exclusively pilot-free autonomous approach – is confident in the success of its four-passenger, uncrewed aircraft. Wisk displayed their sixth-generation aircraft mockup and is building two prototypes, planning their first flight at the end of the year. As their aircraft is pilot-free, Wisk is planning another round of public perception studies, as having no pilot on board may concern many people about trusting robotic systems to fly safer than pilots.

Wisk is not putting their aircraft on sale; they will own and operate all their fleet as an “air taxi” operator and generate income from charging for the flight.

Hyundai subsidiary Supernal unveiled its full-scale eVTOL concept, the S-A2. While it may not be the first to enter service, Supernal plans to learn from the experiences of others who take to the skies beforehand and aims to book commercial flights as soon as 2028.

Almost all the eVTOL projects under development are not being carried out by aviation giants Boeing or Airbus. However, Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer, known for building commercial and business jets, founded Eve Air Mobility. The company unveiled its first full-scale prototype, dubbed the ‘Eve 100,’ which is expected to start flight testing by the end of this year. The full-scale prototype aircraft features eight propellers for eVTOL flight, one pusher propeller at the rear powered by a total of nine motors, and skids instead of landing gear. A 15m wingspan will enable the aircraft to operate from existing rotorcraft infrastructure, pending the development of dedicated vertiports.

Testing will initially be uncrewed. Eve is also considering other evaluation methods for piloted elements, including assessing the human-machine interface.

Construction of the prototype is set to commence this year at Embraer’s test facility in Gaviao Peixoto, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. Embraer intends to make the cabin flexible to carry a range of payloads, including seated passengers, cargo, or for medevac purposes. Eve’s total order book value stood at around $14.5 billion before the show concluded.

British company Vertical Aerospace has successfully completed the first tethered flight of its next-generation VX4 aircraft. The eVTOL’s ‘wheels up’ achievement marked a significant milestone in Vertical’s development. Loosely tethered to the ground, Vertical’s second prototype aircraft lifted off from the tarmac at Gloucestershire’s Cotswold airport, the company’s flight test base.

This is the first time the eVTOL innovator has conducted a flight test since the inaugural flying prototype’s crash in August 2023. With Vertical’s chief test pilot Justin Paines at the controls, the company measured over 20,000 system parameters to verify thrust, handling qualities, and system performance.

The first company to get an eVTOL operational may secure the largest market share. However, the aviation world has seen pioneers such as the Hindenburg airship and the world’s first commercial jetliner, the de Havilland Comet, face significant challenges as early developers of new technology.

It is generally observed that the introduction of regulations will be necessary to allow the skies to accommodate both piloted and unpiloted aircraft safely, ensuring the airspace remains a safe, economically viable, and widespread mode of transportation in the coming decades. One of the main issues could be integrating piloted and autonomous aircraft in the skies, but by the end of the decade, these aircraft are expected to become a common sight.

Supercar Restoration

Maintaining the beauty of classic and modern performance

hances are, almost all classic cars and many modern performance and luxury cars have resprays or some paint work to maintain their showroom condition.

Even cars placed in heated garages that have never seen a drop of rain and have been lovingly polished by their owners or valets reach a point where the elements take their toll. There is a myth that the best paint job a car ever has is the one done at the factory. This is not the case. Many years ago, my at the time three-year-old Ferrari 360, with less than 8,000 miles on the odometer, had paint damage caused by corrosion of the aluminium bodywork on the upper door surface and other panels not vulnerable to stone or grit kicked up by wet or damp roads.

The car was just a few months out of the manufacturer’s paint warranty, and the local dealership said the volume of paint placed on the car by the manufacturer was kept to a minimum to lessen the weight of the car. This may well have been the case, but aluminium rusts just as readily

as steel and will cause the paint to blister. Needless to say, the maker would not agree to repair the faulty paint free of charge.

The car was beautifully restored to better than factory condition by an Essex-based accident repair and paint specialist, and they assured me they would be adding more paint and lacquer to the vehicle than the factory did. That was almost 17 years ago, and the car has completed well over 60,000 miles and has been driven throughout all seasons and weather, including rain and shine, with the exception of snow in the UK.

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale in the London showroom of HR Owen back in 2011 looked slightly menacing in its Grigio Granito Opaco (Matt Metallic Grey) paint. Was it wrapped? It wasn’t. Less than one year old, with less than 500 miles, it was as close to new as made no di erence. It sported a half roll cage, four-point racing harness, and carbon fi bre bucket seats fi nished in red leather and Alcantara. With its 4.7-litre Ferrari-built engine, it sounded amazing. Matt painted cars look fantastic in showrooms, but in the real world, the

cars

lack of lacquer to protect the paint allows all pollutants deposited by other vehicles, bird faeces, and acidic rain to damage the paint more readily. The same Essex-based paint specialists, now known as Lusso Auto Care, transformed the car by adding a red stripe, colour-matching the brake calipers down the centre line of the car from the rear and framing the distinctive nose shape edged in a white pinstripe. The fi nish has been so skillfully executed that the transition between the paint lines is free of any ridge. The grey wheels were powder colour coated in satin charcoal to match the darker body colour, and the car was de-chromed.

If you wish to fi nd out what Lusso Auto Care charged for the preparation and new paint, you can always call or email them to fi nd out; you might be surprised at the price.

GOODWOOD EVOLUTION

GOODWOOD FESTIVAL MARKS THE END OF AN ERA AS ELECTRIC CARS TAKE CENTRE STAGE

The smell of rubber, blinding smoke, and the sound of a thousand petrol-powered horsepowers bellowed across the lawns of Goodwood House as dusk settled on an era of over 100 years of fossilfuelled cars, to be replaced by the dawn of silent electric motors emerging from the unstoppable industrial power of China.

I witnessed an attractive sports saloon by BYD (Build Your Dreams), where the excited head of marketing urged me to watch something very special. A big crowd gathered, music blasted from four huge speakers, and the car began to dance and body pop, pirouetting in circles. The driver may have punched a button or spoken a command, and the car did it hands-free. Very useful if they allow owners to take their cars into

nightclubs. If the car performs as well on the road as it does on the dance floor, then the Fords, Ferraris, and BMWs may have to plan their next moves for the BBC’s new “Strictly Come Dancing Cars” show planned for next year.

The Chinese car manufacturers put on an impressive display, dazzling the crowds with styles going in different directions than western cars and priced very competitively. MG, a British car brand dating back to the 1920s and loved by many for building affordable sports cars, foundered when the state-owned British Leyland stopped making small roadsters in 1980 and badge-engineered their bland products, hoping the MG brand would make a difference. It has taken another state-owned enterprise from China to show the Brits how it’s done, and the Chinese paid for a huge circular steel statue placed in front of Goodwood House to make their point in the most spectacular way possible.

The Goodwood Festival began in 1993, and the event just gets better and better. This is where the latest technology is displayed alongside history, both on four wheels and in the beautiful setting of Goodwood House. And it’s the electric cars that can no longer be beaten up the track by combustion-engined vehicles—perhaps someone will strap a solid fuel rocket to the back of a chassis to win back the fastest time as the last hurrah for burning fuel rather than rubber.

SPEED SPECTACLE

ust one week after the Goodwood Festival of Speed, hundreds of Ferrari owners and fans of the marque gathered for their main annual event at the Goodwood racing circuit on the 20th and 21st of July.

UK’S BIGGEST DISPLAY OF FERRARIS AT THE BIG GOODWOOD WEEKEND

They celebrated several important anniversaries, marking the launch of various Ferrari models, resulting in a rare opportunity to see so many beautiful cars lined up together for everyone to admire.

Saturday featured many of these iconic cars at full throttle, driving around the famous Goodwood track, allowing spectators to see and hear what makes Ferraris so special. The sounds of V8 and V12 engines were occasionally drowned out by the Rolls-Royce Merlins as Spitfires from the Goodwood airfield took to the skies.

Sunday saw the best-preserved cars lined up on the track in front of the pit lane to compete in the Concours, with trophies presented for the best in class.

The club is brilliantly organised and has over 4,000 members split into regional area groups. Activities throughout the year include tours around the UK and overseas, racing, and discounted entry to many car events. Membership gives Ferrari owners and fans the chance to really enjoy their cars and learn about the full potential of their vehicles.

THE HORSE IN MAJESTY

An unusual exhibition about horses and their place in civilization has transformed the halls of the Palace of Versailles, the venue for several equestrian events during this August’s Olympics.

More than 300 examples of equine paintings and sculptures have been loaned for the show where the role of the horse in politics, art, diplomacy, science, and society across 400 years of European history is viewed thematically in sections entitled Of Horses and Kings; The Horse: Master of War; Horses and Science; and so forth.

We meet with stories and images of the most famous horses and their riders, and delve into the special relationship that has elevated the horse above almost all other of man’s conquered beasts of the animal kingdom, beginning with the legend of how Caligula proposed to make his horse Incitatus a consul. (The mad emperor was however assassinated before the idea became a reality.) Frequently in history we learn of wild horses that are tamed by exceptional men or boys, such was the case with Alexander the Great and Bucephalus. Another most famous of these semi-regal

horses was Napoleon’s mount Marengo, immortalised by the painter David.

Horses have always occupied a special place in the animal hierarchy, as if they are spirit companions of man. Their combination of strength and docility, of bravery and fear, of resistance and speed is baffling while their special relationship with man is a mystery. “A whole world to be studied” was how the 19th century painter Eugène Fromentin viewed the horse. The last section of the exhibition is called ‘Galloping into a new world’ and this marks the seismic change

Collection of the Duke of Northumberland, Alnwick Castle

in the equestrian world. The demise of the horse as a means of transport with the arrival of combustion engines has had far greater consequences that could ever have been anticipated.

The transformation of our landscapes and towns into dreary expanses of concrete and climate change are two factors which might make us mourn the passing of this magical animal.

Until November 3rd at the Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France.

Leonora Carrington: Rebel Visionary

his summer the Newlands House Gallery in Sussex opens its Georgian doors to allow a glimpse into the incredible life of the runaway English debutante, Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) who today is lauded as one of the greatest Surrealists of our time.

Defying her newly-rich family’s desire to marry ‘up’ during the London season and fleeing instead to France, American and finally Mexico, Carrington was a born rebel.

“This girl will collaborate in neither work nor play,” her convent school report noted. But as you can see wandering through the rooms at Newlands House, while she was no good at conforming she was very good at other things: writing, drawing, tapestry, theatrical costumes, jewellery and painting. Overlooked in England but feted in Mexico, the art world was jolted recently when a work by Carrington – Les Distractions de Dagobert – sold for $28.5 million, smashing prices for British women painters.

‘Prim’ (as she was ironically known in the family) is examined in some 70 works as well as photographs and a video with her cousin, Joanna Moorhead, who has curated this show and written her biography.

Paintings that Carrington made in later life hark back to the strange (to her) atmosphere of the neoGothic mansion Crookley Hall in Lancashire where she grew up. There was a pond which she believed had no bottom. She wrote that the house was haunted. Her father, a wealthy mill owner, and three brothers enjoyed all the traditional pursuits of proper Englishmen – hunting, fishing, golfing – but Leonora was a girl and expected to be ladylike and decorous and sit at home. She resented this enormously but not for long because she bolted at the age of 20.

“My mother used to paint biscuit boxes for jumble sales,” Carrington says in the film. “That’s the only art that went on in my home.”

Where did the inspiration for her extraordinary works come from? No one is sure. She persuaded her parents to let her study art at Chelsea and that was the beginning of her life of adventure.

Meeting the much older and married Surrealist painter Max Ernst was to change Carrington’s life. Their short but idyllic time together is recorded in the rooms at Newlands House in photos by Lee Miller –wife of the English Surrealist Roland Penrose – taken in Cornwall and later France.

Upstairs there’s an eclectic collection of works including theatrical costumes and masks made for The Tempest and other productions in Mexico. All this emerged not just from the mind of a rebel but from chaotic studio spaces where Carrington experimented endlessly right up to her death at the age of 94.

Carrington never courted publicity but on film she takes a dig at her homeland and admits: “It’s never too late to mend the fact that I am ignored in my own country.” She needed the money that came from sales and patrons but she positively hated the critics and intellectuals who tried to weave all sorts of meaning into her work. Art for her was a di erent country, a space in which she existed alongside all the fantastical creatures she drew. Her son Paul Weisz says: “For her, the imaginary and real worlds were juxtaposed not alien to one another. She inhabited the places that she drew.”

A quote by Carrington on the walls of Newlands House reads. “I often feel I am being burned at the stake because I have that wonderful strange power inside me.” This glimpse from a Sussex gallery into Carrington’s strange magic whets the appetite for more.

The affair ended badly on all fronts: Ernst was interned as an enemy alien after the Nazis occupied France and Carrington was committed to a psychiatric ward where she received damaging shock therapy treatment – paid for by her parents.

After escaping from the hospital she fled to Madrid, married a Mexican diplomat and made it to New York along with other exiles. The running away from her past finally ended after she moved to Mexico City with her husband. She rarely left Mexico for the rest of her long life which was devoted to creating. Alone and in a strange country, Carrington, who later remarried and had two boys, explored her psychic, mystical, legendary worlds in stories and paintings inhabited by creatures from other dimensions, rich with vivid imagery, haunting but rarely frightening.

Until 26th October at Newlands House Gallery, Petworth, Sussex, UK.

A glimpse of these realms can be seen in the room at Newlands House where a bronze Minotaur stands in front of a lithograph of her painting And Then We Saw the Daughter of the Minotaur. The original painting belongs to MoMA – but a copy can be purchased.

WOMEN IMPRESSIONISTS

It was the year 1874 and the art world was rocked by an exhibition of paintings by an outlandish group of artists who came, as a result of a comment by the critic Louis Leroy, to be known as the Impressionists. Leroy, after seeing a sunrise by Claude Monet, dismissed it as an “impression not a finished painting” - thus establishing his name in art history for entirely the wrong reason. The group, including Monet, Sisley, Degas and Renoir have reshaped forever the way in which we view nature and the world. They have helped us see differently. Impressionism today almost guarantees a blockbuster attendance and is a staple of museums and galleries.

Part of the revolution that took place at that exhibition 150 years ago was that works by women were prominent. This latest exhibition in Dublin focuses on four women integral to the Impressionist movement – Berthe Morisot (1841-1895), Eva Gonzalès (1849-1883), Marie Bracquemond (1860-1914) and Mary Cassatt (1844-1926). All except Eva Gonzales exhibited at Impressionist exhibitions in the eight years following the 1874 show.

There are 60 works - many on paper - and the show explores the complex personal and professional obstacles that women faced when embracing art as a profession.

The Impressionists are renowned for using friends and family members as models and this is especially true of the women painters who had less access to models and indeed the outdoors, where so many of the Impressionists drew their inspiration. The women tended to paint in the intimacy of their homes and gardens, taking as their subjects family members and children, or still lives and sometimes interiors.

Highlights of the show include an exceptional portrayal of an intimate domestic scene, The Artist’s Daughter, Julie, with her Nanny, by Berthe Morisot.

Mary Cassatt was one of the most original painters of women and children in 19th-century art. Her painting, Susan Comforting the Baby, shows a young woman soothing one of the artist’s infant nieces or nephews. In keeping with her Impressionism, Cassatt has left areas of canvas unpainted, and others sketched in with loose brushstrokes.

Cassatt and her peers were never to produce the vibrant and monumental paintings and series which the men - Monet, Pissarro, Cezanne and others – with their all-weather outdoor easels and paints could. Given the skill of the ladies, it would be fascinating to know what they would have achieved if their corsets had not got in the way of their creativity.

Until 6th October at the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, Ireland.

he autumn exhibition at the Kunstmuseum, Bern, offers a chance to view Chaim Soutine’s artistic journey through just 60 works including landscapes, portraits and still lives and it highlights his lingering influence on modern art. Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and notably Francis Bacon are his best-known admirers.

Contemporary artists such as Dana Schutz and Thomas Hirschhorn cite Soutine as a pivotal inspiration. Soutine’s life was marked from the start by calamity and drama. He was born in 1893 in what is now Belarus, into a Jewish family of 13, and a life of poverty and persecution. His passion for art was not supported in his conservative Jewish community and he was famously once beaten for presenting a drawing to the local rabbi.

SOUTINE

Le groom, (the Bellboy) Chaïm Soutine, 1925, Oil on canvas Centre Pompidou, Paris

Unsurprisingly he fled to Paris in 1913 where he lived in extremely squalid conditions. His friendship with Modigliani led to a meeting with the dealer Léopold Zborowski and his first important sales. He used the money to go south where he painted dramatic landscapes in the Pyrenees and Provence which are clearly marked by inner turmoil and angst. The works met with favour from the American collector Albert C. Barnes whose huge purchase of 60 pieces in one go marked a turning point in Soutine’s career. But fame and financial stability were marred by his OCD, emotional outbursts and erratic behaviour. In such states, he would obsessively rework paintings often to the point of destruction.

With the Nazi occupation of France in 1940, Soutine was forced to go into hiding and the constant stress and fear exacerbated his already fragile health, leading ultimately to his premature death aged 50. Unlike many of his contemporaries who embraced abstraction, Soutine’s style remained figurative, marked by a powerful, restless line that impart his paintings with unique expressive force.

Until 1st December at the Kunstmuseum, Bern, Switzerland.

THOMAS SCHÜTTE

Working across a range of media, the German artist Thomas Schütte (b.1954) produces everything from intimate watercolours, figurative sculptures and vivid ceramics to architectural models. He is however best known for his monumental sculptures, many of which can be seen in public spaces where by walking around them multiple impressions are gained. “I try to see one thing from five different viewpoints,” he says.

The impressive variety of his work is explored at MoMa (the Museum of Modern Art) in New York in the most important exhibition of his life as Schütte stands on the brink of his 70th birthday.

Schütte studied art at the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf and his work often considers personal and historical connections to Germany in his lifetime.

In his restless pursuit for an artistic home he has explored and rejected Minimalism and Conceptualism and has sought to revitalise some of the genres rooted in past traditions and make them relevant to the modern world. For example the gargoyles which feature on many ancient cathedrals and churches could be seen as the inspiration for many of his unsettling sculptures of heads featuring twisted and malevolent expressions.

From September 29th until January 18th, 2025, at MoMA, New York, USA

In the market, his works has reached phenomenal heights. A cast aluminum sculpture of a ghostly figure, Großer Geist, $4.1 million in 2010 and another bronze Großer Geist (Nr. 6) fetched $5.3 million at Christies New York in 2014.

Although Justin enjoyed art from a young age, he only began to pursue it seriously in 2018, spurred on by the overwhelming positive feedback on social media for his painting ‘Hardship’, a hyper realistic portrait of a Moroccan man. His family, astounded by his innate talent, had no idea of his artistic prowess until then.

The Terrae collection’s modular seating showcases a dramatic contrast between a “shell” made of rigorous, defined marble tops and plush, inviting upholstery. The marble ends cradle the cushions, accentuating their softness.

The design’s profile and asymmetrical backrests disrupt conventional shapes, crafting a dynamic and varied visual

A curated selection of premium leather, fabrics, and distinctive stones enhances the collection’s allure.

Magnetic MUSCAT

A city of growth, beauty, and opportunity

The Muscat property market has seen considerable transformation, characterised by three notable trends. Ihsan Kharouf, Head of Oman at Savills, highlights that “the first is the significant number of new projects hitting the market, such as Sultan Haitham City, Aida, Sustainable City, and others. After many years of limited launches, we have seen a substantial increase in supply, particularly in the residential sector, with thousands of units planned for delivery between 2025 and 2030.” Furthermore, “the second trend, linked to the first, is the significant expansion of Muscat’s urban area, with the eastern edge reaching Yitti and the western edge extending to the edge of Barka.” Ihsan also notes, “the final trend is a shift in the market focus from expatriates to nationals due to government policies aimed at increasing job opportunities for locals, especially in white-collar positions. This shift aligns Oman’s market more closely with a standard real estate market, moving away from the expatriate-focused markets seen in the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar.”

When discussing investment potential, Ihsan says that “Muscat has many excellent fundamentals, especially in infrastructure and a young, growing national population, although the expatriate population fluctuates.” The city is expected to benefit from “an ambitious government plan to diversify the economy and attract businesses.” He advises that “as with all investment decisions, detailed due diligence on the developer and their history of delivery is crucial. Investors should also have a clear long-term plan and consider historical real estate values, leasing yields, and projected supply and demand.”

Regarding rental properties, Ihsan observes that “demand has been growing steadily since 2020. However, the highest demand is for units priced within the range affordable to the average earner. The demand for luxury units is limited compared to markets like Dubai. Rental yields are typically around 3.5-4.5% net, though this varies depending on purchase price, service charge costs, and property management quality.”

Upcoming developments are also set to influence the market significantly. Ihsan notes, “the development of Sultan Haitham

City has been a game-changer for demand and desirability in the extreme west of the city. If the first phases of the development are completed on time and according to the plans described by the developers and the Ministry of Housing, we expect surrounding areas to benefit from proximity. There has already been an increase in residential land values in nearby areas.”

Prospective buyers in Muscat should be aware of several unique challenges and considerations. According to Ihsan, “the most significant challenge is monitoring supply and demand levels, which will

“The development of Sultan Haitham City has been a game-changer for demand and desirability in the extreme west of the city.”

greatly impact asset values.” He also points out that “regulatory changes expected in the second half of 2024 and 2025 could affect freehold rules and expatriate purchasing rights. Other real estate regulations might impact agency and valuation practices, potentially boosting buyer confidence if designed to protect consumers. Non-real estate regulations, particularly those affecting the labour market for expatriates, will also impact potential demand.”

In comparing Muscat to other cities in Oman and the Gulf region, Ihsan states, “Muscat is quieter compared to other

cities in the region and is particularly suitable for families. It has niches of interest, such as a decent arts and sports scene. The city offers a variety of international cuisines, though unlike Dubai or Manama, which have a number of nightlife hubs, these are spread over a wide area. The cost of living is lower for rent and comparable for daily expenses. Muscat has close-knit communities, which were affected by significant expatriate exodus between 2018 and 2022, but this is counterbalanced by the closer relationships between expatriates and nationals in Oman compared to many other regional countries.”

On the topic of Muscat’s natural beauty, Ihsan adds, “unlike many other regional cities, Muscat is not

flat. It is located where the Hajar Mountains meet the ocean, creating a stunning landscape. The city features varied terrain, from flat areas with beautiful beaches to cliffs and hills enclosing picturesque bays. The old city of Muscat and its corniche offer breathtaking views and opportunities to explore the city’s history through tours of the old fort and museum.”

Ihsan concludes that “Muscat offers an excellent quality of life, access to a rich history, and stunning natural surroundings. It is a place where outsiders can develop deep friendships and integrate into Omani society due to its inherent openness.”

Lead8’s ITC Shanghai project, slated for completion in 2024, aims to become a crucial urban connector within Xujiahui district. Covering 700,000m2, it integrates grade-A offices, premium retail, and a luxury hotel, directly linked to Xujiahui metro station where three lines converge. Its forward-looking design merges with the lively shopping and entertainment hub. Elevated footbridges enhance city integration, connecting to major commercial buildings and heritage sites. The development employs a multiple-ground-floor strategy and innovative façade techniques, including a mega-scale LED façade. With its multi-modal design and three-dimensional green spaces, ITC Shanghai transforms the site into a dynamic mixed-use quarter.

In neighbouring Jing’An, K11 Shanghai, Huaihai Middle Road is poised to transform Huaihai Road Commercial Circle into a

cultural, artistic, and luxury landmark district. With a focus on blending history, retail, dining, and art, it offers immersive brand experiences in individual ‘maisons’. Preserving historic building styles, the design celebrates an East-West fusion in architecture and provides connectivity through pedestrianfriendly planning and access to Huaihai Park. Maison North, the centrepiece, features a 360-degree open-air terrace for art, dining, and luxury experiences. Maison East activates surrounding thoroughfares with highly pedestrianised open space planning. Maison West boasts a Winter Garden inspired by Huaihai Park, while Maison South entices visitors with multi-height shopfronts along Songshan Road.

Kong International Airport. It integrates three grade A office towers operated under K11 ATELIER, offering office space for Greater Bay Area (GBA) enterprises. The project aims to become Hong Kong’s largest hub for retail, dining, and entertainment, serving as a superregional connector accessible by air, sea, and land. Positioned strategically, it benefits from the connectivity of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and other major transport links, accessible to 86 million residents from the GBA and airport passengers. The vision for 11 SKIES is to transform Hong Kong into an ‘Airport City’, offering world-class retail, entertainment and workplace opportunities while completing the travel and leisure experience on Lantau Island. The project’s location, its green plinth design, and complex façade concept contribute to its prominence as a landmark in Hong Kong’s commercial landscape.

Finally, MixC Nanjing, located in the city’s central 700-year-old district, Sanshan Street, is a retail-led, mixed-use development. The project respects Nanjing’s rich architectural heritage while envisioning a vibrant future. Lead8’s approach balances traditional and modern elements to ensure long-term sustainability. Positioned between two protection zones, the design blends historical textures with modern functionality. At its heart stands the Yunzhang Guild Building from Nanjing’s silk industry.

This protected structure is the scheme’s centrepiece, and has been adapted into a space celebrating the city’s history in silk brocade craftsmanship. MixC Nanjing offers a unique city destination, harmonising modern commercial life with local history. Since its opening, it has enriched Nanjing’s Qinhuai Tourist Area, honouring the city’s past while embracing its vibrant future.

The south-facing roof is larger to receive more sunlight and melt snow faster, while the northfacing roof is smaller.

In response to the post-pandemic era, the office includes concealed automatic temperature detection devices, alcohol hand sanitisers, and storage spaces for epidemic prevention barriers at various entrances and exits. To address construction schedule pressures, materials and equipment were selected based on market production capacity, and the spatial planning incorporates modular design to expedite the construction process.

Tint Design Co. Ltd undertook the interior renovation for the Miracle Grand Convention Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. The project aimed to restore and modernise the hotel’s image, transitioning from its early 90s design to a more minimalist and contemporary style.

The hotel, conveniently located near Vibhavadhi-Rungsit Road and close to the domestic airport, serves as an ideal venue for conventions, meetings, and conferences, attracting guests from various provinces.

The renovation in 2022-23 included significant upgrades to the function room and accommodation areas. The transformation was marked by an elegant and modernised look, intended to bring joy and a fresh appearance to guests and visitors. A central theme of the renovation was the “miraculous occasion,” aligning with the hotel’s name and celebrating unique special events.

In early 2023, Tint Design Co. Ltd. was again commissioned to revamp the all-day

dining area, coffee shop, and the newly connected space between the building tower and podium. This phase introduced a juice bar that linked the dining area and lobby lounge.

The hotel’s extension included adding a coffee shop with seating along the pathway connecting the concierge to the hotel room lifts. A juice bar, also serving liquor, was designed to enhance guest experience, particularly in the evenings. A three-storey pavilion with a crystal lamp and copper-gold stainless finishes was created to make a striking impression on passersby.

Furthermore, the show kitchen area was expanded to offer a broader range of food services, including international cuisine and a dessert station.

This space integrates with the living areas, enhanced by a continuous material palette and thoughtful details such as a veneer ribbon ceiling detail that extends into the kitchen to improve spatial flow. The bathroom mirrors the apartment’s cohesive design, employing similar materials and colours to ensure the entire suite feels unified and soothing.

Millimetre Design Sdn Bhd was involved in two notable projects: Sentral Suites and The Bousteador. For Sentral Suites, the client sought a design that would add commercial value and foster interactions among different generations and local residents. Residents expressed concerns that the building might not represent their heritage or harmonise with the community. Millimetre Design responded by creating a design inspired by traditional games, integrating them into the complex’s fabric.

This approach aimed to honour Malaysia’s heritage and create a vibrant tribute to the nation’s cultural diversity. For example, the Sepak Takraw lobby features patterns mirroring the rattan woven ball used in the game, with lighting and materials capturing its essence. The Congkak Lobby reflects the game’s rhythmic motion, with carved wooden walls and warm lighting evoking traditional Congkak boards.

The Bousteador, a 23-storey building located in Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, draws

inspiration from Boustead’s long-standing reputation and adaptability. The design aimed to meet various needs while showcasing the company’s strength, business acumen, and culture.

A three-pronged approach – ’A Game Changer’, ‘A Post Pandemic Office’, and ‘Inspired Spaces’ – was adopted, focusing on creativity, integrity, and innovation. Outstanding bold designs, glass doors, and one-of-a-kind interchangeable layouts allowed spaces to be reconfigured easily for coworking, seminars, training, events, or private meeting areas.

The ground floor features an open office with private areas sectioned by glass panels, softened by smooth curved walls. The 3rd, 4th and 10th floors have similar layouts with textured countertops and lounge areas. The design aimed to create a transformational space, which resulted in a 62.4% reduction in office space. Equipped with technology and moveable screens, it highlights the company’s commitment to flexibility and innovation.

Located in Qianhai, Shenzhen, the Shenzhen Qianhai CTF Finance Tower mixed-use development features two office towers: a 202m tall landmark office to the north and a 118m tall headquarters office to the south. These are situated on a terraced podium that includes loft studios, retail shops, F&B, exhibition areas, green terraces, and community facilities. The total accountable GFA is approximately 170,000m², while the total CFA is approximately 244,000m².

Taking ‘Park in the Valley’ as its theme, the design creates dynamic layers of green terraces along the central podium valley, with organic balconies extending up to the two office towers above. This design forms a unique public landmark, contributing to the urban space concept and providing sea views.

The project redefines commercial space by merging art and nature with retail areas, transforming traditional shopping malls into stages, galleries, and gardens. It also explores creative office spaces to encourage communication and sharing at work, including

lofts, a conference centre, and a clubhouse as a signature space for office users.

The development aimed to protect the natural environment and encourage sustainable lifestyles by adopting LEED certification standards from the planning stage. It includes energy-efficient buildings that use on-site renewable resources, reduce resource waste, and promote the reuse of materials.

Incorporating biophilic design, the interiors blend natural elements with innovation, art, and commerce, creating a dynamic work environment. Abundant natural light and greenery enhance the well-being and productivity of the workforce.

This project integrates diverse functions, such as commercial spaces, offices, an elderly day care centre, and a bus terminal, which are interconnected and designed to meet the planning requirements for the Qianhai area. The development prioritises community convenience and well-being with dedicated wellness facilities and thoughtfully designed spaces for community engagement.
