Discover the possibilities of investing in real estate in Poland! Cracow is a unique city in the southern part of the country, which was once the capital and the seat of Polish kings. Now, it is an attractive tourist destination, but also a place that has the best universities and is a hot spot for international corporations, such as Capgemini, Comarch, Cisco, ABB, BBH, Deustche Bank, HSBC, Motorola Solution and UBS. It has also been chosen by Fracthon to implement its development investment – Browar Kleparz. Near the picturesque part of the old town, at the very centre of the city an investment consisting of three buildings is currently under construction. One of the buildings – a subsidiary of the Archduke Brewery belonged to the Habsburg family centuries ago. The investment is a mix of residential and commercial premises. Residents can take advantage of facilities such as a gym, cinema room, lounge room and playroom for children. Browar Kleparz creates a kind of urban ecosystem, which is in line with the highest standards and uses only modern, solid building materials. The project is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2021.

Welcome!

Our main focus this issue is the prime property market in the UK. Having lived in the UK for the past decade, I

can certainly say that its cities and counties are teeming

with gorgeous properties, many with beautiful gardens. In light of how much is on offer, I decided to narrow

my search to homes for sale and rent in Cheshire,

Surrey, Greater Manchester and London Mayfair. Beyond the requisite of

luxurious mod cons that many require in their search for high-end proper-

ties, there’s a pull towards wanting recreational activities in close proximity. The areas listed above have all this and so much more - from vineyards and world-class shops to historical and cultural sights.

If, like me, you’re drawn to destinations with maximum amounts of

sunshine, then Florida could be the place for you. With its warm weather, superb properties and no state income tax, the future of the property market looks bright. Depending on your location, a trip to Florida in one of the beautiful yachts we’ve featured in this issue is an absolute must.

We also take you inside some of the most stunning homes for sale that

were once occupied by celebrities. Finally, warmer days are approaching for many and with that comes dreams of barbecues and fun activities which means that our outdoor living feature will provide an endless amount of revamp inspiration.

nveloped in exceptional natural materials, and dotted with high-end furniture brands and crystal chandeliers of unbelievable appeal, this opulent three-f loor penthouse apartment is situated in one of the top residential complexes in Russia. Known as Dominion, this grand project by Bureau 186 is right beside one of Stalin’s high-rises, the Moscow State University building, offering a remarkable picturesque view of the city. The perfectly cosy family haven has an open green terrace. The interiors embody opulence with built-in lacquered furniture in rich black finish throughout the living room that adds delicate rigour.

Despite its humble size, the dining room features a large chandelier helping to achieve a classical mood. The master bathroom’s design is based on a detailed decorative touch; from massive onyx camellia flowers on white marble to the natural pearlescent mosaic of the shower wall. Golden accessories and taps with crystal decorative parts add outstanding contrast and expressiveness to the room. For the home cinema room, the combination of the lacquered surface with the structure of the wood and the velvet upholstery create a beautiful contrast, whilst achieving the required level of sound insulation.

Andrea Marechal Watson welcomes the re-opening of museums and galleries across Europe and Britain. Plus a glimpse of the British Photography Awards shortlisted winners for 2021.

Paula Rego his July sees the start of the most comprehensive ever show devoted to Portuguese artist Paula Rego. With 100 works, it covers half a century in which Rego moved through numerous mediums and styles from comic strip to history painting. At just 15 years old, Rego painted Interrogation as she fiercely opposed the Portuguese dictatorship using a range of sources for inspiration including advertisements, caricatures and news stories. She also explored folk tales as representations of human psyche and behavior. Rego abandoned collage in 1980 and returned to painting with major works such as The Vivian Girls series, in which girls rebel against a coercive society. Storytelling has fascinated Rego throughout her life and in prints such as Nursery Rhymes she explored the strangeness and cruelty of traditional British children’s songs after having settled in the UK. More recent works are the large pastels of single, female figures which are among Rego's most celebrated and arresting pictures. Paula Rego

Seligman, who normally travels to India every year, paints his visions of the country in brilliant colour with a layer of humour: maharajas in flowing turbans riding in a Rolls Royce and so forth.

istoric architecture has its own charm, yet it is no secret that modern architecture has the ability to be inspiring, bearing names that define the legacy of its builders or neighbourhoods. Buildings with meaningful names often possess extra levels of character or prestige, and the Dragon Fairy Project, named by its owner Mr Khoa Ly and designed by award-winning consultancy Alinco, is one such example. A gem of the Ly family, the project encompasses the Vietnamese people’s pride and the Ly family’s hope. In Vietnamese history, people were considered descendants of the son of dragons and the daughter of fairies. This origin gave the Vietnamese people power to get through hardships like the Mongol invasions and the French colonisation, to name a few, allowing them to build a strong and independent nation. Mr Khoa Ly therefore selected the name ‘Dragon Fairy’ to represent the proud legacy of the Vietnamese people.

Also, in line with the Chinese Zodiac, Mr Khoa Ly’s youngest daughter and son Minh Ly were both born in years represented by the Dragon. Mr Khoa Ly’s two daughters are called Tien, which translates to ‘fairy’. Therefore, in addition to celebrating the history of the Vietnamese people, Mr Khoa Ly named the project with immense love to his children, hoping they will become successful individuals who can serve their country. The project itself follows the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Eff iciencies) Standard, ensuring that its environmental friendliness, sustainability and energy efficiency are top-notch. Located on the busy Tran Phu coastal road in Nha Trang Bay, Dragon Fairy provides five-star hospitality services with four-starplus facilities, offering guests and residents a world-class experience at a reasonable price. Thanks to its smart architecture, the building allows all its residents, no matter where they stand inside the building, to take in sights of the charming Bay. Along with modern amenities such as the shopping mall, cafés, and restaurants on-site, the Dragon Fairy is undoubtedly a masterpiece of cultural pride. 89 Tower Company, alongside Alinco, has done a tremendous job creating a development with outstanding appeal.

From more green spaces and added-value wellness to adaptable home studies and urban social distancing, leading architects around the world consider the impact of the pandemic on architectural thinking

Room to work

John McElgunn, partner at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners says the impacts of the pandemic will be felt for a long time: “At RSHP we have discussed this at length. We have been strong advocates of ‘flexibility’ in design for many years and always strive to create buildings that not only fulfil the brief but also provide enough flexibility for future occupiers. We often refer to the mantra ‘Loose fit – Long life’.” He is watching the move away from cities as people opt for cheaper, scenic and more spacious places to work from home. “The shift towards more flexible working will drive down the level of occupancy in buildings. However, with social distancing becoming more of a ‘norm’ in our lives the reduction in occupation will offer the opportunity to create more ‘quality space’ for each individual. “One of our projects, the Hammersmith & Fulham Civic Campus, is built around high-quality

public space. The civic campus will provide the types of space people require outside their homes and apartments. I believe this will also have a major impact on the way we think about infrastructure.” Fast broadband is now far more important than fast trains. As far as the workplace goes, he says that “The office will adapt and evolve. I believe more technology and more ‘Apps’ specific to the workplace and surrounding environment will help the nomadic worker identify the sort of places where they may wish to work, showing preferences for vibrant and dynamic, or quiet and contemplative spaces and live information on levels of occupancy. We are currently working on an office fit-out in RSHP’s The Leadenhall Building and the emphasis is on creating more quality space for fewer staff.”

www.inarc.com

Terry Spinolo is managing director of multi-award winning consultancy Inarc Design Asia Group. He is in no doubt that the pandemic will encourage a positive re-evaluation of the quality of living spaces within the built environment, leading architects to focus even more on wellness and enhanced health. “For far too long, the well-being of the occupants of buildings has taken a back seat generally to the singular goal of most clients and developers to maximise the buildable area for any proposed development. This singular goal in part has been heavily influenced by not only the cost of land and the planning codes imposed by local governments, but also unfortunately, it is the result of little value being placed by the

marketplace on improving the quality of living spaces for people.” He says this is about to change: “The perennial guidelines for good architecture have always been about improving the quality of life and experience for the occupants of the built environment. While the application of technology, product and material improvements all assist in this goal, the basic principles of good architecture still apply, including plenty of access to natural daylight, fresh air, open outdoor areas and a connection to nature, i.e. the focus of wellness for the occupants within all building types including residential, commercial, hospitality and retail, but especially for homes.” “In addition, the implied addedvalue of a ‘view’ will now extend to the implied added value of ‘wellness’ to a home.” But, it’s not just in the home… “While the traditional ‘office’ will not be removed from our working environment, there will also be a new strong focus on the wellness of these built environments including more space allocated per person, increased natural daylight, fresh air, access to open outdoor areas and a connection to nature.”

The nurtung culture of Build-to-Rent

For several months now, global architects and masterplanners Chapman Taylor have been considering the impacts of the pandemic on every aspect of planning and design, from hospitality and retail to cinema and transportation. In addition, residential design has been a key focus. On the subject of residential design, UK Director Michael Swiszczowski says that the pandemic and its impacts have “thrown many assumptions about the way we live upside down, causing developers to reassess their approach.” The company is focused, among other issues, on how lockdown has changed the perception of the nature of work. And that means accommodating that change when designing for the future, particularly the work-from-home phenomenon. They have also been considering the implications for residential design of the need to ensure health security

– particularly lessening the risk of infection transmission – and of how our homes become central to our lives, especially our physical and mental wellbeing, in a lockdowntype situation. Chapman Taylor believe that build-to-rent developments in particular are ideally placed to provide solutions for some of the above issues, identifying the sense of community (physical and digital) and culture of service build-to-rent engenders as a means of helping

protect residents’ wellbeing. On a practical level, the company has presented design solutions to improve the working-from-home experience, including foldable work stations and flexible room dividers, walk-in wardrobes which double as home offices, shared amenities and even co-working spaces. They are currently implementing these ideas on their projects at Anchorage Gateway in Manchester, which is being designed for the needs of the present and the future.

Multifunctional, sustainable spaces

Lee Nellis is managing partner and director of XBD Architecture at award-winning design firm XBD Collective, who have a presence in both London and Dubai. According to Lee “The architecture and design industry will always adapt and overcome short term challenges, however, the pandemic will definitely have a long-term effect in how we think, create and develop.” He says that his team have made changes to the way in which they design social and communal spaces to consider social distancing and that there are changes for the home as well. “Many clients are seeking alternative solutions which have been influenced by the pandemic. With our in-depth knowledge and expertise in luxury private residences, we have noticed a significant increase in the need for home offices, we have many requests to design a functional and tranquil space for clients to work from home. We are also looking at provisions for multipurpose areas. For example if the client has two dining rooms, one for family and one for guests, the latter could be converted into a conference

room when required. The focus on family time and outdoor spaces has become much more apparent.” As for the future, he sees a continuing trend towards sustainability, “We endeavour to create bespoke designs; this is our specialisation and is one of the main reasons why our clients gravitate towards our designs. We have begun adding sustainable solutions to some of our projects which is the way we would hope to design more in the future. We always suggest the possibility of using sustainable solutions in our builds as we like to push the boundaries of architectural design and hope to influence others to do the same.”

How will we live together?

Laura Petruso’s firm Alpex was a successful award winner at the most recent United Kingdom Property Awards for their project, The Garden House. Laura says that the pandemic has had “a repercussion on the construction and property development market and therefore on architecture. On the other side the pandemic has changed people’s lifestyle and created a need for different housing, working places and social building.” Like the other firms we spoke to, she also says that Alpex is making changes to the way they incorporate workspace into home life and also extending outdoor living. She is also mindful of the need for social distancing being incorporated into the urban landscape in the future, saying “people will definitely need more space to respect social distancing, spend time outdoors and improve life wellness.” Laura who is Italian and has been a member of the National Order of Architects Cagliari since 1997, and RIBA since 2001, says there has been much talk of the impact of the pandemic on architecture on various online forums and has been invited to participate in this year’s Venice-based Biennale Architettura the theme of which is ‘How we will live together?’. Although she acknowledges this may well have been conceived before the pandemic, it is absolutely pertinent to the current situation.

eading Bonhams Important Collectors’ Cars Sale at its flagship New Bond Street saleroom on 19th May is a fine example of a racing E-Type – a 1964 Series 1 3.8-litre Semi-Lightweight

FIA Competition Roadster, one of a few recreation tributes to the original Lightweights which are now valued in high seven figures. The Jaguar E-Type, arguably the seminal 1960’s sportscar, celebrates its diamond jubilee this year. From its launch, the icon made its mark on the road and the track. Special Lightweight racing editions successfully competed in Grand Touring races with the likes of Graham Hill at the wheel. Recently restored by a marque specialist, this roadster is finished in ‘Briggs Cunningham’ livery of blue and white in homage to the American entrepreneur, yachtsman, and pioneer champion of road racing in the USA. 1982 De Tomaso Pantera GT5

Ready to race, it is offered with FIA papers valid until 2030.

Another highlight lining up alongside the Jaguar is a 1982 De Tomaso Pantera GT5. Designed by Ghia’s Tom Tjaarda, this midengined sportscar – and supercar of its day – is immediately recognised by its imposing rear wing. One of only 18 known

ALL EYES ON

FLORIDA

The Sunshine State has more than beautiful weather and beaches on offer

ordering the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, Florida is a property investors’ haven. Its warm weather lasts nearly year-round, which, given its other big draw, beautiful beaches, is exceptional news. The state’s other perks include 9,200 miles of hiking, bicycling, equestrian and shared-use trails and over 4,000 miles of paddling trails. Cyril Bijaoui, partner at Westside Estate Agency adds, “Florida is generally attractive for the same reasons it has always been: no state income tax and good quality of life in a tranquil and peaceful environment.” It’s Miami, Pinellas County and Palm Beach that are sharing the property spotlight though. Miami in particular has “grown into a mega city”, says Cyril. “It is now a major metropolis with the benefits of a much improved cultural and business environment. Miami has become the ‘go to’ place for everyone seeking a friendlier business and tax environment without having to sacrifice on quality of life.” If you’re looking to whet your Miami property appetite, it’s good to know how the market has fared in the last year. “Homes have appreciated to the tune of 31% and sales have increased by 72%”, says Cyril. “Sales volume more than doubled the prior year, but this is strictly for properties of $1m or greater in the South Florida area.”

Rosalind Clarke Agent Premier Estates Properties

The future of the market looks as bright as its weather according to Cyril… “I do think our demand will remain strong as we have always had significant year over year population growth. However, sea level rise is a big unknown that we face. Miami is vibrant, exciting and at par on the world stage. I think it will continue to thrive although there will certainly be growing pains and adjustments to the market.” With its friendly job market and excellent schools Palm Beach has seen buyers flock to the area from all over the US, “but most are from the Northeast”, according to Rosalind Clarke, agent at Premier Estates Properties, affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. Luxury properties boast a plethora of amenities and the abodes in Palm Beach are no exception. “Saunas are less popular but are sometimes included in the most expensive properties”, comments Rosalind. “In 2021, the most sought-after requirement is a full gym which, in the higher price ranges, can be quite elaborate. In the equestrian areas, buyers will require a lot of acreage for their barns, paddocks, training and exercise areas.” It’s always good to know what kind of budget you need and in this market “the parameters have shifted with prices steadily increasing,” says Rosalind. “I would say to purchase in the top end of the market the budget would be $20 million and up. The most expensive property sold in Palm Beach history just closed in February – The asking price was $140 million.”

Palm Beach beauty Built in 1960, 300 S Ocean Boulevard is a mid-century apartment in Palm Beach. It boasts one- bedroom, one full bathroom and one partial bathroom. This exceptional ocean front property also comes with high ceilings, while the master bedroom features an extensive space. You will also find doors opening onto a terrace, a walk-in closet and exercise room, an entry foyer and powder room and a kitchen which opens onto the main room. The choice of designs and furnishings is in keeping with the Modernist architecture. £7.21m / €8.32m / $9.9m Premier Estates Properties | Christie’s International Real Estate Rosalind Clarke | t: +1 561 818 6351 | e: rclarke@premierestateproperties.com

Don Howe Agent Coastal Properties

It seems the pandemic has created a mass city exodus. Rosalind states: “New residents have fled cities because it is quite common now for people to work from home, wherever that might be. These factors hugely increased the demand for properties and now the choices are extremely limited and the prices have increased by over 25% – 30% in the last year.” Now turn your attention to Pinellas county, which has “undergone a renaissance,” states Don Howe, agent at Coastal Properties, affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. “This is similar to what has happened in Austin, Texas and Nashville. What you can buy on the water here vs Naples or Sarasota is still a bargain. Pinellas County is surrounded by Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico – we have miles and miles of shoreline to enjoy year-round and the demand for properties here continues to grow.” According to Don, the areas to keep on your radar are “Downtown St Pete and surrounding neighbourhoods. World-class St Pete Beach, which Trip Advisor recently rated #1 in the country, is only 15 minutes away from downtown St Pete.” He adds: “The Florida luxury buyer’s #1 criteria is to be on the waterfront or at least with a good water view. At a certain price point, nearly every luxury property comes with a nice pool/yard, and waterfront properties with a dock/boat lift. It’s a boater’s and sailor’s paradise and that drives a lot of the demand. The St Pete Yacht Club is in the middle of downtown and an anchor of the downtown social scene.” Florida has a seemingly enduring appeal that will certainly make it easier for property tycoons to want to invest here.

Spectacular views This beautiful historic Old Northeast waterfront home is located on a premier street, Coffee Pot Boulevard, just blocks from downtown St. Pete. There are two and a half storeys with a four-stop elevator, multiple outdoor balconies facing the 50ft heated lap pool. A 12ft ceiling on the first floor will command your attention. There is also a great hall entry surrounded by windows along with light and gorgeous polished travertine floors. Other elements include a spectacular living room chandelier

and a Murano glass chandelier in dining room. Two-car oversized garage with adjacent workroom and alley access is also included. All bedrooms are upstairs, with a separate guest quarter area.

Exquitely built Located on the corner of Worth Avenue and Ocean Boulevard, 101 Worth Avenue is a stunning condo with three-bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a partial bath area. The home, built in 1974, is beautifully proportioned and offers expansive direct ocean views, high ceilings, and a grand entrance hall. Family gatherings are made even more exciting owing to the sheer size of the lovely family room. Beautifully decorated throughout, potential residents will fall in love with every corner of this abode. £6.5m / €7.55m / $8.98m Premier Estates Properties | Christie’s International Real Estate Rosalind Clarke | t: +1 561 818 6351 | e: rclarke@premierestateproperties.com

Mayfair

ondon’s Mayfair is one of the most exclusive addresses in the world but what is it about this area which continues to draw people in? Rob Windsor has worked in the area for 20 years, and for the last decade has led Mayfair-based Clifton Property Partners with business partner James McManus: “Mayfair has become a brand synonymous with luxury owing to the variety of world class shops, restaurants and amenities, but it’s more than that. Its diverse range of architectural styles, vast array of green open spaces and sense of community really appeals to our residents. It is ever evolving and improving whilst being very mindful of its history and heritage. With two very dominant landlords in The Grosvenor Estate and Astrea, there is a sense of comfort that Mayfair will be preserved as London’s most important address for years to come.” Oliver Bernard is a private office specialising in real estate matters in prime Central London and Greece. They offer a bespoke service providing expert advice for those looking to rent, buy, manage or let out their property. George Vernon is Managing Director and he says that it’s Mayfair’s architectural charm and character and its people which make it unique: “The pink clay tiles are seen nowhere else in London. But property aside I can go from chatting over coffee in Prada’s Marchesi with the CEO of a FTSE 250 company to having a beer with the local landlord who’s run the same pub for 20 years, all within a 100-yard walk. I believe it will always hold its place as London’s No. 1 location. There is

a certain element of subtle undistinguished class, the flow of high-end retail makes for the perfect walk and then to have brunch at one of the many exclusive clubs, The George… the hidden Mount Street Gardens provides a peaceful yet tranquil setting to relax. Where else do you get all this?” Mayfair properties are in a class of their own and exclusivity is key. Rob Windsor comments: “Mayfair is a globally recognised address and with only around 4,350 residential dwellings and on any given year around 100 property transactions, competition is clearly rife. As you might expect, the make-up is predominantly apartments, the bulk of which are one-three bedrooms. Large apartments and grand houses make up only around 15% of availability which means they are exceptionally sought-after. A lot of our buyers we have known for years and have sold either to or for multiple times as they scale up or downsize.” George Vernon says: “Mayfair is traditionally a series of narrow buildings occupying lateral apartments very few of which have a lift or a porter – on Mount Street alone, only nine buildings have a lift and only one has a lift and porter; these flats demand a premium. It is quite tricky to explain this to an international client, so it’s generally a learning curve for Mayfair investors. Some of the bigger freehold houses that you would associate Mayfair with are predominantly on Charles Street, Hill Street and Upper Grosvenor Street. Recently you will see a series of new build schemes collaborating with a 5* Hotel Group offering full in-house services. They have rubber stamped Mayfair back to the top as the best neighbourhood in London, possibly the world and this is where we see the future of real estate.”

Offeng a lift and conerge Danish Arif, associate sales director at Chestertons, told us “Mayfair spans 285 acres and 144 streets with a combination of houses, purpose-built buildings, period conversions and high-end luxury new £6m / €6.9m / $8.3m Chestertons t: +44 207 629 4513

developments. In Mayfair, traditionally buyers prefer turn-key properties with large lateral living spaces. An interior-designed property will be much more appealing to potential buyers rather than a property in average condition, and these properties usually sell for a premium. Even more so if the properties have been designed by a renowned designer.” This first floor threebedroom apartment with high ceilings and bay windows is in a newly developed period building, with direct lift access and concierge services. Queen Street is moments from Berkeley Square, Grosvenor Square and the wide-open green spaces of Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’s Park.

Claire Reynolds is head of sales at the Savills Mayfair office. She says “If you want a suit tailored where do you go? Savile Row, of course. Or maybe you're planning a visit to one of London’s most fashionable restaurants, a highbrow casino or one of the world’s leading and most nostalgic hotels for a cocktail or a room for the weekend… To do all these things and more you need to be in Mayfair.” Luckily, this impressive four-bedroom house for sale in Bruton Place will give residents the opportunity to experience what Mayfair has to offer. Recently refurbished, the property

An exceptional manon Rokstone’s Becky Fatemi told us “Mayfair is considered the centre point of London. The A40 links straight to Heathrow airport, and you are moments from Paddington and St Pancras stations and, most importantly, Bond Street which offers the best luxury shops and the finest restaurants. There are several high-end schools in the area and universities are moments away.” This exceptional six-bedroom Mayfair mansion on South Street represents the sensitive modernisation of a townhouse which includes the creation of a wellness suite complete with indoor swimming pool. The property is an exceptionally wide five-storey home which boasts a stunning double-fronted Edwardian façade, elegantly decorated with Portland stone quoins and a beautiful Beaux-Arts style Portland stone doorway. Becky says that the mansion’s width provides a degree of lateral living rarely found in central Mayfair, with the principal reception areas of the ground and first floors alone boasting the capacity to accommodate over 100 guests. £40m / €46m / $55m Rokstone t: +44 207 580 2030

S Ben Dickinson Sales Director ME Developments

Alex Newall Managing Director Hanover Private

Tim Firth Director Jackson-Stops, Weybridge

James Grillo Associate Knight Frank Guildford

ituated in the South East of England, Surrey is a quintessentially English countryside location. Ben Dickinson, sales director for ME Developments says that the allure for Surrey goes a great deal further. “Surrey has always been a popular area to live. It offers an enviable work life balance thanks to beautiful open green spaces such as Surrey Hills, excellent schooling, great commuter links via rail and motorway to the main airports and London, yet you’re within equal distance to the south coast and beaches.” In terms of recreation Alex Newall, managing director at Hanover Private says that “Surrey has it all”. Golfers usually turn their attention to “Sunningdale, Wentworth and St. George’s,” he adds. “There are a number of vineyards, more specifically in Denbies, High Clandon and Greyfriars and for football lovers, Surrey is the home of the Chelsea FC training facility.” To satiate a desire for the best properties on the market, where do high- and ultra-high net worth individuals flock to in Surrey? Tim Firth, director at Jackson-Stops’ Weybridge branch explains: “For buyers looking at the top end of the market Weybridge, Cobham and Oxshott are the most popular areas to move to”. James Grillo, Associate, Knight Frank Guildford also comments: Guildford is a hugely important part of the luxury market in Surrey – especially as you head towards the Downs where there are spectacular views. The villages in the surrounding countryside are also usually high up on buyers’ wish lists.” The property market has copious rentals, abodes for sale and newbuilds and property investors are always keen to find out about the buoyancy of each. Ben states that in terms of

Combining the very best of contemporary architecture, design and building technology, the property has six-bedrooms, a large kitchen located on the first floor, a balcony sun-terrace overlooking the ground floor swimming pool, coupled with stunning views across the property, over fields and to ‘Hunters Hill’ beyond.

sales, “Outside of London the South East region has the highest average asking price in the UK (according to Rightmove) and as a county Surrey is only second to Greater London with an overall average price of £596,982 over the last year. In Surrey specifically, the increase in average asking price is as high as 9% (plumplot. co.uk) whilst sold prices in Surrey over the last year were up 11% on the previous year (Rightmove).” Chris Druce, senior research analyst, Knight Frank comments: “Exchanges were up 43% versus the five-year average in Surrey last year, as buyers looked for more space and greenery during successive lockdowns. While 21% of London-based prospective buyers were searching for a property in the South East at the start of March 2020, this peaked at 40% by the end of September.” In terms of newbuilds, Laura Hackney, head of South East new homes at Knight Frank says: “New prospective buyers looking to purchase, resale and new build homes in Surrey rose 61% in 2020 compared to the five-year average. This figure rose dramatically among applicants in London.” In terms of rental statistics, Jamie-Leigh Harvey, associate, head of lettings at Knight Frank’s Esher, Cobham & Weybridge offices comments: “Demand remains high due to an improved sales market and there is a general lack of stock. From 2020 to February 2021, there were 14% more new prospective tenants than in the previous 12-month period.” She adds, “There is a good mix between sales and lettings demand as some applicants go straight into a purchase, while others rent initially to try out the area, prior to committing to a purchase – as it is a far bigger decision due to stamp duty.”

Wild flower allure Alex Newall, managing director at Hanover Private, says that individuals seek a “feeling of space and a garden,” when looking for a luxury property. “Also, secure car parking for multiple cars is often high up on the wish list. Almost all the houses we sell have a swimming pool and six plus bedrooms. High ceilings, lots of natural light, high quality of finish, a lift (for international families) and AC are also important tick boxes.” This Kingsmead property in particular, located in Farnham comes with a double-height oak panelled reception hall, master bedroom suite with his and her dressing rooms and bathrooms, a wild flower meadow with pond, indoor swimming pool hall and an outdoor swimming pool. £14.99m / €17.25m / $20.66m Hanover Private Alex Newall | t: +44 203 405 5324 | e: an@hanover-private.com

Cheshire & Greater Manchester

I Stuart Matthews Managing Director Miller Metcalfe Prestige

Stephen Chesire Director Jackson-Stops, Chester

f you’re in search of one-of-akind character properties set in beautifully scenic locations yet which still represent great value for money, then England’s north west could be for you. With excellent motorway transport links, an international airport, and a major city centre only a short distance away, as Stuart Matthews, MD of Miller Metcalfe Prestige puts it, “There really is no better place than the north west. You don’t have to travel far for something to take your fancy: everything you need is right on your doorstep. Manchester city centre is the beating heart of the region and there is nowhere else in the UK where you would experience the same level of community and inclusiveness.” Stephen Cheshire, director at Jackson-Stops’ Chester branch, comments: “Cheshire has long been popular with buyers searching at the top-end of the market. Villages in the affluent South Manchester commuter belt area are particularly sought-after, including Alderley Edge, Bowdon, Hale and Prestbury. In the more rural parts of the county buyers are heading towards picturesque villages such as Christleton, Tarporley, Bunbury and Tattenhall.”

Allung areas

Stephen also comments: “Buyers are attracted to the idyllic and rural lifestyle that Cheshire offers, without being too remote. All parts of the county are within 30-minutes of either Liverpool or Manchester airports, and train journeys to London are circa 1 hr 30mins from Crewe station.”

Architect degned This unique home is located in a prominent position on one of historic Worsley village's most prestigious residential roads. This architect designed property includes porcelain tiled flooring and integrated entertainment systems. On offer is a split level reception hall, contemporary open plan living space incorporating a designer fitted kitchen, a basement games room and four bedrooms. The property is ideally located for commuting throughout the North West, and the famous Trafford Centre and its shopping opportunities are only a short drive away. £1.1m / €1.28m / $1.54m Miller Metcalfe Prestige | t: +44 1 204 275 175

Julian Ferrier from Pearson Ferrier Black Label says of Greater Manchester: “We are a haven for outdoor sports, there are excellent transport links, extensive shopping, and it’s only a short drive into Manchester city centre. Greenmount, Holcombe and Ramsbottom have a wealth of cafés, bars and restaurants.” And that’s not all… Ed Lucas from advisory company Property Vision reminds us that “Manchester has two premier league football teams, good golf courses and there’s racing at Aintree, Haydock and Chester as well.”

Julian Ferrier Director Pearson Ferrier Black Label

High Spec

In terms of property in Greater Manchester Ed says “High spec finish is important. Homes need to offer good flexible accommodation. Cinemas, home gyms and home studies are increasingly important”. Many properties at the top of the market come with indoor pools, and sit on large attractive plots of land with amazing views.

Rental demand

Idyllic rural setting This beautifully presented, five-bedroom, stone built detached home in Rossendale dates from the late 1800s. It is set in over an acre of gardens and grounds including a large pond and enjoys extensive countryside views. Set behind remotely operated entrance gates, the driveway leads to an extensive parking and large detached double garage. As well as five double bedrooms, a bathroom with a steam room and further shower room, there are large cellars with access from the large farmhouse style kitchen and a games room. Outside the house are extensive gardens, patio and lawns with a mixture of mature trees and shrubs and a very large ornamental pond. For rent £4,000 / €4,600 / $5,500 per month Pearson Ferrier Black Label t: +44 1 706 822 630

In terms of the rental demand in Cheshire, Helen Bunch, director of Benson Bunch says “Similar to the sales market there is a shortage in properties available to let. There is a very high demand for three to four-bedroom houses and on average people are looking at properties around £3,000 per month. The rental properties tend to go very quickly at the moment because of the shortage of what is available.” Stuart Metcalfe agrees, “Rents are skyrocketing, due to high demand among some tenants who are migrating to properties with more space, both indoors and out. This is causing our prestige market to be the best it has ever been. Rents are rising at a 2.3% annual rate across

the UK, matching pre-Covid levels, and demand is up a whopping 21% year on year. At present, the sales market is looking very buoyant and strong. We have seen a huge increase in buyer demand in the last 12 months, which has been fantastic. Properties are coming to market and having an offer accepted in as little as a few hours!”

Newbuilds

Helen comments: “We are seeing a really good new build market in Cheshire as there is a high demand for it. We are very often selling out on new build projects by just selling off plans. There is a shortage of both good quality family homes being build and also for apartments for people who are looking to downsize or who are first time buyers. Therefore, these properties tend to go very quickly. “We have for example recently sold a newbuild apartment of approximately 1,600 sq. ft. for £725,000 which features three bedrooms and three bathrooms. If you are looking at a detached property, we have recently sold a six-bed property for £1,795,000 including furniture, both properties are within easy reach of Wilmslow town centre.”

In concluon

“Our countryside is superb,” says Julian. “Schools are excellent, commuting links are good, the airport is nearby. The ongoing investment in and around Manchester by the Northern Powerhouse seems to be securing a bright future for most of the North West” and Ed Lucas agrees: “the economic importance of Manchester is only increasing and the area will become more popular. Prices are predicted to rise in the next 5 years or so.”

Gated abode

This stunning newbuild home is located off Wilmslow town centre. On the ground floor of this light and airy modern home you’ll find an entrance hall, spacious open-plan kitchen, dining room, living room, utility room and lounge. A spacious master bedroom with luxury en suite and fitted wardrobes can be found on the first floor along with two

design. Out of these, only companies which have excelled in every aspect of skill and expertise have gone on to achieve a coveted ‘World’s Best’ award.

From gigantic engineering and infrastructure projects by architects and developers to interior designers who have become trailblazers and standard-bearers in their field, there are many designs that have left the judges in awe. It has been an honour to see how styles have evolved, technologies have advanced and challenges propelled. There is also an elite number of estate agencies listed that are passionate about what they do and work hard to put their clients’ interest ahead of their own, and by that we are continuously inspired. Despite the current climate, we were able to put a new spin on our much-loved gala dinners. Award-winners celebrated each win with our new and hugely successful Red Carpet Gala: a virtual event commending each company’s accomplishments. It has been a whirlwind of a year, but we are so happy to join in with you on all your hard work and dedication. Many congratulations to all the companies listed in this publication and we wish you every success in the future.

   prestigious Best International Mixed-use Development award for four consecutive years now, Waterfall Management Company continues to raise the benchmark for urban design with the beautifully presented project, Waterfall. Waterfall was designed to grow with its community and integrate seamlessly with the surrounding infrastructure, ultimately combining over 28,000 residential units housing an estimated 80,000 people, with approximately 2.5 million square metres of Gross Leasable Area (GLA) for commercial, retail and office space, which will eventually accommodate a further 95,000 people. Situated on a 2,200-hectare tract of land, Waterfall is the first property development project in South Africa where developers have come up with a method of creating bankable leased land, with major banks financing both

property development as well as end-user residential property acquired on a leasehold basis. It is an extraordinary project in the sense that, unaffected by the constraints of older developments and existing infrastructure, it has allowed developers and planners to create a new city from a blank slate, all in accordance with contemporary urban design philosophy and planning principles. Offering integrated live-work-shop-play environments that are secure, ecologically sensitive, convenient and easily accessible, Waterfall provides unsurpassed quality of life in a vibrant urban setting. It features everything from secure residential developments and retirement villages, private schools and a hospital, to office buildings and business parks, hotels, fitness centres and a range of entertainment and shopping destinations like the iconic Mall of Africa.

Bangkok Penthouse Bathroom

Knightsbridge Apartment London

 I  established in 2004 and is helmed by partners Nikki Hunt and Andrea Savage. Over the past several years the company has garnered a multitude of awards and accolades, at the national, regional and global levels, across the full spectrum of the design field including public sector, retail, leisure, architecture, office, product and residential design. However, the firm’s greatest achievement will always be the creation of environments that put a smile on the faces of its clients. The Bangkok penthouse bathroom redesign project was at the request of a client who is a bachelor in his 30s. The company was tasked with creating a bathing sanctuary, with requirements including an expansive space to include a bath tub, as well as a double vanity with good lighting. Design Intervention was also instrumental in re-designing the rest of the Bangkok penthouse. The client asked for

an apartment with a wow-factor, worthy of a Hollywood set with a streamlined masculine feel. Design Intervention was also tasked with the redesign of a London apartment, bought by a Singaporean-based family who planned to use it as their holiday home. They wanted the apartment to feel quintessentially English and reflect the history of the Victorian Era building but with a relaxed and humorous vibe. The apartment is on the first floor of an 1850s building and had been converted into apartments in the 1970s. It had not been updated since and the electrical, heating and plumbing systems all needed replacing. The unit is north facing, with the bedrooms opening to an internal courtyard, resulting in cold, dark rooms. The company’s challenge was to brighten and bring warmth and character to the dim rooms. Striking a balance between old and new, the redesign perfectly matched the client’s brief.

DUBAI

Asia Asia

HIPA

  , Broadway Interiors specialise in unique solutions across f&b/hospitality, office, government, leisure and residential sectors. The company’s brief for its Asia Asia project in Dubai was to create a unique, authentic Asian setting, with a discerning ambiance for a multi-functional restaurant, bar and weekend entertainment venue. The project is located on the 6th floor of Pier 7 – a new dedicated sevenfloor restaurant building in The Marina. The design concept embodied a tasteful selection of finishes, rich textures, and attention to detail. As you enter the reception, you are greeted by hand carved marble foo dogs, while traditional Chinese decoration techniques adorn the walls. The VIP Shanghai Lounge conveys sophistication, while the bar, designed as an Asian ship, is strategically placed alongside the back wall to maximise the

space. The Dom Perignon Lounge includes ruby red distressed velvets – it is the perfect place for a relaxed drink. The elevated dining area surrounds the entire bar, maximising the panoramic marina vista. Broadway Interiors needed to create a workspace for Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Awards (HIPA) – a fast-growing team that needed a platform to conduct workshops, gallery presentations, create photography and work efficiently in a multi-functional and adaptable space. The project consumes the full 15th floor of Emaar Boulevard Plaza Tower 2, and due to its diversity, an eclectic mix of spaces was required including a creative reception, an auditorium to facilitate training, and a photographic studio. Luxury and comfort were certainly two factors involved in the design of this project.

Specialising in the renovation of historically significant buildings, KR Properties manages a portfolio of major assets including offices, apartments, commercial premises and warehouses. Situated in central Moscow, just a short walk from Red Square, the club house Kuznetsky Most 12 by Lalique was constructed in 1877. This immaculate 19th century building has been sympathetically restored into 61 luxury apartments by KR Properties in collaboration with the iconic crystal manufacturer. This unique partnership has led to Lalique creations being incorporated in many of the fixtures, fittings and furnishings in the interior.

The project comprises three buildings with separate entrances, lobbies, lifts and stairs, decorated with Lalique fittings, along with the bathrooms of each apartment. For the renovation KR Properties was even able to refer to the original plans for the building to ensure a sympathetic restoration. The project aimed not only to remove relatively modern unsympathetic additions to the interior, but to pay tribute to the original architects by reinstating many original features which had been lost. Marketing for this project included specifically designed logos and colour palettes. In keeping with the concept of sales privacy, there was no direct advertising and the website carried only minimal public information. Marketing was further enhanced by beautifully presented bespoke literature, beautiful events and even a film.

The four award-winning projects this year represent but a handful of the company’s outstanding portfolio of designs. The first project, Spectrum, is located at Bischoffsheimlaan, along Brussels’ most important arterial road, in the heart of the business district, near the Madou Tunnel. This striking corner structure has 11 floors of office space, and at the back, on the much quieter Noordstraat, there are six stories for offices and housing units. Etterbeek City Hall was born out of an effort to create synergy between the various public services and to provide optimal service to the public. The new City Hall incorporates

ZIN is a multifunctional circular building that is comprised of offices, 127 apartments and a hotel with 240 rooms, as well as sporting and recreational facilities, restaurants and commercial businesses. It is located in the North District of Brussels, a business area of 1,200,000m2 with a layout comparable to that of La Defense in Paris or Canary Wharf in London. Eden Tower is a top-notch example of new urban in-and-out living in the middle of a bustling metropolis. The 98-metre-high residential building with its 263 flats is a prime combination of a striking high-rise architecture with spectacular views, overall clarity and omnipresent lush greenery – it is a new icon of sophisticated living.

The brief highlighted the need to create a 140-metre high wheel, whilst optimising on safety, structure, circulation, operation, and visual considerations. The wheel will act as the attraction anchor, energising and activating a promenade full of other leisure, sports, retail, food and beverage activities. The development brief included the following components: all buildings should be fully accessible for people with physical and visual disabilities; parking should be located in a green ‘park’ area; cycle paths and bike areas must be clearly marked; service loading, unloading zones should be concealed

and connected throughout the buildings by a carefully planned corridor/lift network. Landmarked by the tallest observation structure in Europe, the project celebrates Newcastle’s iconic Geordie culture with a vibrant mix of food/retail and entertainment activities. The final client-approved design embraces a passion for experience, immersing visitors deep into the hearts, heights, and horizons of Newcastle and beyond. The project extends, activates and energises the public use of Newcastle’s famous Quayside environment. The architecture expresses the heritage of the site, morphing reused brick, oxidised steel and distressed concrete surfaces in fresh and unusual ways. These rich textures and tones evoke a strong sense of comfort and context, while the angulated rooflines and façades evoke a sense of old wheat bins, in a very abstract and contemporary way.

SOUTH AFRICA

 L,  Co-Arc International Architects, was certified as Africa’s tallest building in 2020. Co-Arc’s design for a complex mixed-use high-rise building was so successful that the project grew from its initial brief of 32 floors to its current 57. Consisting primarily of apartments, but with significant retail, conferencing, office, leisure, educational, and hotel facilities, its modular design approach facilitated a dynamic development, capable of responding to a rapidly shifting Johannesburg property market. The design was finalised just prior to each stage of construction, permitting the uses and number of floors to be flexible until the programmed construction of each floor. The orientation and layout of the plans provide floor space at

every level of the tower, maximising views and minimising climatic effects. The simple modularity and clear expression of structural forces ensured a homogeneous appearance. Unlike some of its hermetically sealed neighbours, this is a building which uses the significant depth of its façade and long slender orientation to provide solar protection and natural ventilation, ensuring every user has access to a balcony or outdoor space. Consideration of local context and urban conditions ensures seamless integration into the city fabric, whilst the installation of a permanent contemporary African art collection by local artists in its public spaces provides generous and welcoming public floors, which signal a focus on its users that extends to every aspect of the building.

The firm is an interdisciplinary architectural and interior design studio that has designed projects on every scale, including residential, commercial, hospitality, interior design and master planning varieties. Singularity and uniqueness are the main concepts that have guided the design of Don Majestic Hotel, as the creation of an architectural icon was the main objective. The hotel, with its 52 rooms, has spacious, luxurious and elegantly designed interiors and offers special services and amenities, including a gourmet restaurant, outdoor and indoor heated pools, a fitness centre, conference room, working areas, flexible meeting spaces,

concierge services, valet parking and spa services, as well as a solarium area to enjoy the green landscape that surrounds the building. Each interior element including furniture has been chosen with the same concept that has guided the architectural design of the hotel; with curves and a very pure, simple but elegant and singular design. For the interior design of the rooms, the main aspect is the overall view, coupled with light and transparency, which are crucial attributes – they are part of the essence and the identity of the project. The hotel has 360 degrees of floor-to-ceiling curved glass, which allow residents to have incredible views of Punta del Este. This approach maximises the sense of connection between the guests and the external landscape.

    of expertise acquired in the interior design field, real estate entrepreneur, Barbara Martinuzzi creates high-end interior architecture and design concepts that anticipate the market, adding consistent value to each project. The company has been successful in winning awards for two different projects: Doppio Gusto and Villa Raggio Di Sole, both located in Switzerland. Doppio Gusto is an Italian refined restaurant and pizzeria. The authenticity and sophistication of the cuisine had to be translated into this open-plan space. The 600m² area had to be divided into the following spaces: Two different dining areas, an open pizza bar in the middle of the restaurant and a terrace. Martinuzzi Interiors therefore designed a modern space, combining typical elements of an Italian restaurant with luxurious design pieces. The

bistro in particular features contemporary green velvet custom-made seating, while olive trees and emblematic photography give the feel of a real Italian Osteria. The brief for Villa Raggio Di Sole focused on revamping the character of a magnificent property located close to Lake Zürich. The villa needed to be restyled in only two weeks, maintaining its original charm and character. Elements of change included bringing the interior and exterior together with the use of mirrors, using gold accents to match the golden mirrors that reflect the stunning view, as well as adding colours and materials that unify the dining area, kitchen and living room. Darker and cooler tones were decided for the master bedroom, combined with art and interesting textures. The resulting villa features a multitude of characteristics that create a beautiful haven for the clients.

The company’s Crest Residence is phase 2 of The Metropole Thu Thiem project, which was envisioned to embody 21st century cosmopolitan living through an integrated livework-play concept. The brief called for the development of a high-end mix of residential apartments and a commercial podium that would add to the high quality, river facing developments of Thu Thiem. Featuring 240 elegantly-crafted luxury homes, residents will be offered the best highend amenities, such as green spaces injected above podium level. The residential podium’s rooftop will be designed as a resort-in-the-sky, featuring infinity-edge pools and a fitness area.

The Crest Residence’s architecture is without a doubt modern and timeless, and the office towers have been designed with crisp, clean modern lines to define the Thu Thiem and Ho Chi Minh skyline. The geometrics have been sculpted to create a bold and dynamic architectural form. However, the middle office tower will be constructed further back to ensure the residential tower gets a clear view of the Saigon River. SonKim also drew inspiration from the organic nature of and proximity to the river. With staggering towers that mimic a natural rock formation, the project is a sight to behold. In terms of location, the towers will be conveniently connected to all the main roads on the New Urban Area (NUA) and towards District 1, including the Thu Thiem Bridge 2, Water Front Park Drive and Crescent Boulevard.

The design brief for PSJ I’ Vily Třebonice near Prague was to achieve simple shapes and forms, with innovative use of the available space, along with maximum privacy. The client requested that the 12 homes offered a high standard of living using quality materials but always remaining mindful of the environment. In creating the property, PSJ I had to consider how the buildings would sit on the existing plot whilst making best use of the natural resources available, such as land, soil, and rain water.

The project was based on one house shape with a variety of details – a unique but unified set of structures, offering an overall character for the location. The design concept was for imposing high ceilings, up to 3.6 metres, creating spaces with personalised interiors suited to each home. Each property boasts an enormous terrace with a connection between indoors and outdoors in every room. To further enhance life in the development, the project included communal areas for socialising and play, such as an adult workout zone and basketball court, as well as children’s playground. The properties enjoy cooling and radiant ceilings, plus underfloor heating via heat pumps, a green roof offering insulation within the house, and an integrated rainwater irrigation system.

Each design is bespoke to the individual requirements of the clients and carefully planned to maximise functionality and style. Dr D Aesthetics Medical Clinic in Orchard Road, Singapore, provides a holistic approach to aesthetics, using clinically proven noninvasive and non-surgical technologies. The client’s needs were for an opulent, luxurious but non-intimidating space that did not feel too clinical or cold to the guests. However, the practical needs for a working clinic were also important, with facilities for equipment, storage and concealed staff areas. Curved, feminine walls were employed using bronzes and golds, in sync with the clinic’s aims to enhance beauty. A marble-topped reception desk is wrapped in gold, with a ‘D’-shaped lighting feature adding visual interest. Golden

wall-mounted display boxes present a variety of the clinic’s products for sale. A VIP lounge is separated by a sheer curtain, providing a calm, relaxing area for customers. The consultation room is characterised by a bright, airy ambience using creams and light wood flooring to create cocoon of comfort. In contrast, the spa area is distinguished by textured tropical wallpaper, with a meandering corridor creating a sense of separation and tranquillity. Throughout the project, lighting accents are used to deepen colours, adding contrast and depth to the space while creating a warmth that can so often be missing from a clinical environment. The Mansion in the Woods is a four-storey, five-bedroom landed property in the north of Singapore, spanning 4,000 square feet. The client desired a usable but sophisticated space for his family of six. Prestige employed careful space planning to create a practical but sophisticated space. Beiges, browns, greys, blacks and whites form the predominant palette of calming, neutral tones.

A gourmet kitchen with dark marble counter has its theme continued into the dining area, where the same marble is used in wall features. Reconfigured wardrobes and cabinetry provide unobtrusive storage to keep living areas free from clutter, while walls were altered for a more airy flow. Each bedroom is tailored to its occupant, from the master suite to the children’s rooms. The result is an impressive family home that balances style and usability. Sky@Eleven is a 3,000 square foot apartment near to Orchard Road, the retail heart of Singapore. Prestige was tasked to design a contemporary dream home for a family of five, following Feng shui principles. A private lift opens to the white-grey marble floor and carefully selected Bonsai of the foyer

area. The main living area has an expansive view through a bay window, enhanced by a glossy black marble counter and decorative screen. This is set off by a striking white Tai Chi sculpture. A silver portoro marble feature wall with vertical veins accentuates the modern contemporary look. A particular feature of the apartment is its two wings. Prestige constructed a modern French double leaf door at the edge of the study area to segregate these areas while maintaining light and visibility throughout. The study is also where the clients’ collection of Bearbricks is prominently displayed – a specifically requested feature. Part of the adherence to feng shui was that Prestige relocated a number of doors that were previously in inauspicious positions. Sky@Eleven is a warm, contemporary family home with extensive scope for guests and perfect for an expanding family. It demonstrates Prestige’s expertise in fulfilling and even going beyond their clients’ needs.

   new project in the historical centre of St. Petersburg, Russia, constructed by RBI. The company aimed to create a ‘handmade’, truly elite and unique residential complex, which can compete in artistic value with works of art. At the same time, the project is meant to link the art of past epochs, embodied in the historical building of Levashovsky Bread Factory, а masterpiece of Soviet constructivism in architecture, with the present and future of development, with modern ideas about elite, ‘luxurious’ and prestigious housing. The style of the project’s facade was partly defined by the Levashovsky Factory. But also its beautiful beige jura limestone, elegant rosettes and decorative ornaments of architectural

concrete and bronze are more linked to the Art Deco style, making Futurist luxurious and unique. The eclecticism of the residential complex is largely inspired by the graphics of the avant-garde, but also ideologically connected with modernity. This style combines historical motifs, expensive materials and rich decor. Another prominent feature of the project is its unique courtyard, which is designed extremely carefully. Each square metre has both artistic and functional values. The inner courtyard is a green space, completely private and inaccessible for outsiders, which is divided into thematic zones. On the kids’ playgrounds equipment from the German brand Richter Spielgeraete is installed, making the interactive zones original, eco-friendly and safe.

The 350m² penthouse condominium Inner Peace in 108 BRAHMA Residence draws influences from the world’s first design hotel: Denmark SAS Royal Hotel. In this loft penthouse featuring a fabulous view, modern artworks and features echo the classic furniture by Danish designer Arne Jacobsen, integrating natural organic lines into the airy space. Neat lines, plain surfaces, natural textures and brass

elements are matched with the symmetry of Chinese culture. Jacobsen’s Egg Chair forms the centrepiece of the living room, taking advantage of bird’s eye views through 6.8-metre floor-to-ceiling windows. The Design Director, Idan Chiang, introduced principles of rounded forms, smoothing down the sharp edges of everyday life. This concept was applied not only to the choices of furniture and decoration, but to the shape of rooms too. Melt lighting pendants and the jade dining table bring rich colour and elegance to the dining area, with elaborate table tops evoking exquisite paintings. Private areas are thought out with equal care, including world-renowned Savoir beds to ensure comfort, paired with selected artworks to create inspiring living atmospheres.

Much inspiration was drawn from the owner, whose design concepts are deeply rooted in a curiosity and enthusiasm for Europe and France. It was to be a project of layers. The client was focused on circulations and gentle curves, maximum openness and enjoying large views towards the garden. It was to carry a simple yet elegantly refined palette – beige stone and marble, bronze and cherry wood. And most of all it was to be a celebration of artisanal crafts. As many elements as possible have been commissioned and handcrafted specifically for the property. From the sculptural, ribbon like staircase to the very last drawer, each part of the project has been explored, discussed, implemented and refined.

This equestrian centre is located in the curtilage of a listed farmhouse and facilitates participation in horse-related activities for all ages, levels of skill and mobility. Its operators encourage people from all social backgrounds to explore and enjoy riding, for exercise and to give alternative insights into the natural world. Operational in all weathers and seasons, it needs ample lighting – as much natural as possible – shading for climate control and to avoid glare, and copious natural ventilation. All these features help to provide the needed large

enclosure which serves to reassure nervous riders as well as horses with behavioural challenges, on which specialist advice was incorporated into the design. Specialists in adding new to old, Atelier’s design rises to this challenge with a series of innovative construction techniques, many used here for the first time on an equestrian centre in the UK. These include an exo-skeleton of glulam timber frame to make a large, clear internal span, ringed by floor to ceiling curtain walling which allows light in and views out. It also gives a low pitch to the roof, reducing the impact in the landscape and effect on the farmhouse which remains the most important part of the composition.

The right side of Dry Salon hosts a half-arc bar area with four seats so that visitors can indulge in a drink or two, whilst stone and wood blocks are strategically placed allowing people to use them as tables or chairs.

The idea of the project is an original development of Howard’s ‘garden city’ concept. The neighbourhood plan was made to resemble the landscape of a natural meandering river. The architecture features simple and elegant aesthetics, while an enclave of greenery provides comfort and privacy. The design of the low-rising three-storey housing complex incorporates sloped roofs, a horizontal arrangement with cornices, bold glazing of staircases, building entrances and windows. Every resident gains a unique view

and a space of individual character, with an opportunity to privately take in the benefits of the ‘garden city’. The large-scale glazing and the layout of windows provide the apartments with enough exposure to guarantee the wellbeing of the residents. Individually designed sliding wooden and steel window shutters allow windows and balconies to be shaded. The interior design is simple and elegant, using materials of the highest quality. The neighbourhood is equipped with a fitness zone with showers, saunas and a relaxation room, as well as a lounge room for the residents. The company’s goal was to create a place of nobility, naturally embedded in the area. Achieving this was assisted by filling the space between the buildings with vegetation using a variety of species.

Located in downtown Timişoara, Iulius Town is one of the most impressive real estate projects opened on the Romanian market in 2019, and it is the largest investment in the region by companies Iulius and Atterbury Europe. Iulius Town benefits from an ultra-central location and creates a direct and natural connection within the city centre of Timişoara, linking important tourist objectives and central attractions with the main relaxation destination and the largest regional business hub. With its transition from an early 2000s enclosed mall to a shopping and business district, Iulius Town is not an average realestate development. The mission was to

develop a unique regeneration project and fit it like the final puzzle piece within one of the strongest cities in Romania. With the suspended garden as the new star of the development, a variety of cafés and restaurants were added with terraces and panoramic views overlooking the green area. The ground levels of the newly added office buildings include new retail services aimed at catering to the employees working within the project. New atriums inside the mall were created and the overall circulation was simplified to allow seamless access for visitors to park. With three office buildings in operation (50,000m² GLA) and another one under construction (52,000m² GLA), Iulius Town is also the regional business hub and a creative multinational community accommodating over 30 companies and 5,000-plus employees, being a genuine force of development.

 C LLC is a full-service, licensed interior design and renovation firm. Founded in 2004, the company designs and undertakes both residential and commercial projects. Lauren’s Villa Blanca design took into consideration a dynamic, young couple with three young children. Great care was taken to help build and design their long-term, dream home. She curated a powerhouse team of Cook Architectural Design Studio, Legacy Custom Homes, and Lauren Coburn LLC to collaborate with the clients on creating the perfect vision for their home. Together, they decided on a Mediterranean-style aesthetic for the exterior with a bright and airy interior, highlighted clean lines, and sunlight flowing in from every direction. Massively-scaled

moldings were used to fit the proportions of the home and multiple giant daybeds were incorporated throughout, for lounging and enjoying time together. Lauren was commissioned by her client to create the beautiful Glen Ellyn Estate project. The client wanted to transform their traditional estate’s dark and heavy interior into a coastalesque, light-filled haven. The over scaled, French-inspired furniture pieces – most of which Lauren custom designed – pay homage to the grand proportions of the home, and gave the client unique pieces that fit his tastes, passion for overseas travel, and his personal vision. Given the fact that three young children and two dogs also call this place home, Lauren used practical, yet beautiful, stain-resistant fabrics throughout.

The interior materials were carefully chosen with a range of neutral colours taking centre stage, whilst a clever balance of natural and artificial lighting allowed for an airy and well-lit environment. Natural oak wood planks were fitted throughout, with the exception of the shower rooms which were clad with porcelain tiles. The bespoke kitchen was designed and built onsite with MDF natural oak veneered panels, quartz worktops and simple appliances, while the shower room in the basement features a slightly illuminated area that is made possible by a Velux sun tunnel. All the elements incorporated elevate the project to a higher sense of luxury.

The clients requested a modern design with an open concept, alongside a large and spacious outdoor place to meet with friends and family. Materiality, warmth and movement are three words that perfectly define this single-family home, for which the search for harmony in its lines and balance in the use of its materials represented a great challenge. Known as Padovan’s House, the design needed to enable the owners to interact with nature. The more than 40 hectares of green and common spaces within Terravista, along with the central park with its lagoons and sports spaces created the perfect atmosphere to accomplish this.

In addition, the use of pure lines allowed for a minimalistic aura which resulted in the owners being able to fully appreciate and enjoy the abode in its entirety. The interior is enveloped in pure white with touches of colour to create an exceptional space. The use of integrated environments enhanced the relationship with the outside, while comfort remained constant with the implementation of a central air conditioning and heating equipment. The signature bathrooms were designed with state-of-the-art coverings, toilets and taps. The kitchen/dining room opens into the living room and, through glazed doors, to the gallery and to the back garden, creating an environment that from a visual point of view has no limits, while the bedrooms are enveloped in white carpentry with hermetic double glazing, porcelain floors, plaster ceilings and luminaires embedded in them.

To date, it has successfully completed 18 high quality residential projects across Sydney with a further three major developments currently under construction and planning. Completed in 2019, Prime is an $800 million project located in Macquarie Park, Sydney, and is designed in collaboration with PTW Architects. The brief was to create luxury apartments, resort-style leisure facilities and a retail plaza located next to Macquarie Shopping Centre (Sydney’s largest suburban shopping centre), a Metro Station and university that will become the centrepiece of the Macquarie Park community. A strong urban strategy guided the

design of the tower buildings and spatial framing of lush, expansive landscaped open spaces. The development offers unparalleled convenience with an enclosed bridge that seamlessly links to the adjoining shopping centre from its podium level. It provides its 1,500 residents with an expansive pool, gym, barbecue and entertaining facilities. To start, the aroma of fresh coffee and al fresco breakfasts will welcome you down to the buzzing café culture that animates Prime’s lively plaza retail precinct. Elevated above the urban hum, upper level apartments enjoy stunning views to the glittering Sydney and Chatswood CBD skylines and the expansive green of nearby national parkland.

The firm delivers holistic design solutions with the aim to curate lifestyle experiences using its deep knowledge and forward thinking approach. Crystalville is a fully realised 43 hectare masterplan for a beachfront resort town in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, close to Phnom Penh. It is a mixed-use development embracing commercial, residential and leisure facilities. The entire site includes eleven zones encompassing residences, hotels, lagoon, retail mall, convention centre, resort and a marina. The location has excellent transport links but retains a connection to nature by bordering the Ream National Park.

Taking its cue from the surrounding environment, the concept integrates large villas with Jacuzzi pools that dot the beachside, while modern compact villas with pools and cabanas are intertwined with mangrove swamps, connected by boardwalks. The primary residential zone is car-free, with residents exchanging their cars for buggies between the separated car parks and their homes. This creates pedestrian-friendly living that engages with nature. A shopping mall provides residents with retail and restaurant opportunities. Architecture makes use of exposed reinforced concrete that will weather naturally over time, while timbered louvres create shade, reducing cooling load and improving energy consumption. Crystalville represents a desirable and self-contained living experience embedded in nature while retaining modern conveniences.

This unique 11,000 sq. ft. custom home design has six large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and is a three-storey one-of-a-kind house. The Scottish-born Caymanian client wanted to have a comfortable living space for his growing family while incorporating both European and Caribbean design aspects. The interior space planning resembles that of a modern style castle with its high walls and columns, grand passageways and surprising stair systems. Far from being a traditional Caymanian cottage, Chersonese utilises large roof overhangs, maximises outdoor living space, and provides a view to the expansive lap pool with

double negative water edge, a 12-person jacuzzi and island planter with palm tree floating in the centre from most rooms in the house. The open kitchen and family room are located with direct access to the pool with views to a bamboo garden, the water and many palm trees along the water’s edge.

On the second floor, a long corridor connects each of the five bedrooms on multi levels. A sixth self-contained guest bedroom, is located above the parallelogram shaped three-car garage. Finally, the third floor, which houses an office and private gym, gives the owner direct east and west views from one end of the island to the other allowing full enjoyment of the magnificent sunrises and sunsets every day.

JSC F-E has presented an impressive project that has won three awards. The design of Reef Residence, which is a new deluxe clubhouse, reflects passion and artistry. Located on the Sochi Black Sea Coast, the unique natural landscape of this area, along with the concierge service and a beautiful multiservice, including spa and fitness centres, a complex of swimming pools as well as walking and children’s areas represents the gold standard of high quality of living in the Russian Riviera. The architectural solution exploited by the Reef Residence complex was developed by Project Meganom, which is considered one of the most successful design companies in Russia. The main building of Reef Residence is a 12-storey complex, and in an effort to offer residents the opportunity to feast their eyes on the views, the architects designed a cascade of wide terraces. Transparent insets in the

terraces’ parapet walls are key to the everchanging sea becoming an inherent part of every apartment’s interior. The Reef Residence complex also includes two villas with separate entrances and their own outdoor lounge zones with swimming pool, waterfall and tropical gardens. Both are situated below the apartment building level and are in close proximity to the calm waters of the Sochi Black Sea Coast, while being totally autonomous. Setting the highest quality standards for seaside apartments, the Reef Residence complex provides an example of responsible and lean development of the Sochi coastline. Its elegant and bright memorable shape, which does not distort the existing city panorama, and a well-thought-out range of façade colours combine to make this project a seamless extension to the relief and nature of the only Russian subtropical resort.

The company excels in combining modern and contemporary trends with an eye to the long term, creating designs that stand the test of time by uniting aesthetics with functionality. Hilltop Mansion is a Hong Kong apartment built in 1965 that needed a full overhaul of both its layout and design to accommodate a family of three, while working to an economical budget. This involved the opening up of the lounge and dining area to foster family unity while creating an airy balcony and introducing floor-to-ceiling fully opening windows. The space is decorated with shades of white, soft grey and wooden tones. A marble

TV wall and elements of gold bring glamour and elegance, while geometric wooden flooring and rugs add visual interest. Frosted glass screens and doors with gold-finished stainless steel frames divide areas to create privacy without compromising visibility. To expand the master suite, walls were extended in the living room. The sense of space is enhanced by a glass-walled walk-in dressing room. A reconfigured layout and softer pink and grey palette in the daughter’s bedroom generated a more practical space despite its smaller size, with custom built-in cabinetry providing concealed storage. The result of inT Design’s work is an elegant and far more practical home that provides a calm, welcoming environment for a close family.

The design ethos for this project was to embrace and make the most of the natural surroundings offered by the location and provide the residents with an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The large windows of the main living area look out onto a grassy courtyard with a beautiful panoramic view from the garden. Inside, the private areas each look out onto their own courtyard garden, offering not only a view of lush vegetation but providing dappled shade and a natural feel. High ceilings make the rooms airy and are bathed in light. Garden roofs overhang the main buildings, providing shade and a contrast in materials from the main concrete structure to areas finished in wood.

   by Uira, an Indonesian architect and project director, Artalenta Indonesia provides prestige multidisciplinary architectural, interior design and construction services with a particular focus on opulent residential and retail projects. Sajni Ka Ghar is a summer residence in Bali that integrates with the local landscape and steep limestone cliffs. Artalenta believes that tropical design is as much about the surroundings as it is about architecture, so the home was arranged around prominent existing trees on the site. White stone introduces linearity in juxtaposition with the natural elements, while an infinity pool makes excellent use of the cliff-side location. Saba Haven is designed to house up to 12 people with a resort-like feel, with modern

cubic forms that have been elongated and perforated into a continuous structure, unified by the graphic elements of roof and wall claddings. Brown and beige tones hearken to the surrounding landscape, complemented by a cantilevered flat roof that weaves the structure into the coastal environment. Finally, 131 Cove Drive is the reconfiguration of an established family home in Sentosa, extending and upgrading to allow more room for the owners’ children. The entire ground floor was reconstructed into a spacious open-plan area, creating a focal point for the family. This looks onto the outdoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Attic space was repurposed to create a master suite with separate spa and semi-outdoor areas. Artalenta specified and installed fixtures, fittings and furniture throughout the project.

   10 years TAG Urban Properties have established a portfolio of refreshingly unique and stylish homes. The company’s Jury Place residential development project located in Warwick is testament to the superb craftmanship involved. The company worked with TateHindle to convert the Grade II listed Lord Leycester Hotel in Warwick Town Centre into a residential-led mixed use development aimed at the downsizers and young professionals. The local landmark was reconfigured to create 10 apartments with a retail unit at ground floor, while new townhouses at the rear of the site provide an additional 10 homes. The hotel’s red brick frontage was retained and restored, giving back the building its refined elegance. The existing timber structure was also retained with new steel insertions

causing minimal impact to the historic fabric. Apartments were enhanced by the retention of features including a stone gable end wall reinstated with stone mullioned windows to match original details. New build townhouses designed in red/blue brick and white render also include stone details. With a mix of twoand three-bedroom accommodation arranged over three floors, the residences include spacious open-plan living, generously sized double bedrooms and private rear gardens. Large windows, dormers with balconies and large sliding doors onto the rear gardens provide the interiors with much improved natural light and views. The car parking, landscaping and frontage of the houses were redesigned with a view to creating a better sense of community with greater connectivity between the new houses and both the central courtyard and church to the rear.

With offices in South Florida and the Cayman Islands, the company’s projects range from commercial, hospitality, and multi-family developments to private multi-million-dollar homes. For Rost Residence, Trio Architecture implemented its client’s vision seamlessly. A devoted kite surfer, John Rost’s love of the wind, water, flora, white sandy beaches and blue skies had to be directly linked to the home’s interior spaces. Located about 45 minutes from downtown George Town, Rost Residence finds its home at the East End of Grand Cayman, next to Kite Beach. Originally intended to be a vacation home, John’s list of requirements included an independent structure comprising of a

four-car garage, and a guest apartment with a small living room and kitchen. For the ground level of the main building, he wanted a great room with a large kitchen, dining and living area, ample outdoor decking, and three guest bedrooms. For the upper level, a master suite with a separate office. All these areas needed to be harmoniously enveloped in a modern structure designed to echo its surrounding beauty. The design of the house maintains a modern aesthetic yet honours the natural surrounding elements with the use of generous glazing. The stone cladding references the colour of the sand, while the white stucco and dark bronze accents pay homage to the traditional colour schemes found around the island. With Rost Residence, Trio Architecture has created a unique place where each space is designed to awaken the senses.

The New Tuition Building of Our Lady of Fatima Girls’ School is the extension of a traditional and well established kindergarten to secondary Roman Catholic school catering to 2000 students and staff. The design of the new buildings needed to integrate and complement the existing architecture while modernising, expanding and improving the facilities. The new development needed to provide a long list of requirements including more multi-purpose rooms, a weather-shield playground, large canteen, activity rooms, a new library, basketball court, car parking and more.

The lower levels of the building were rebuilt, with the original timber window louvres retained as a memory of the school’s history and identity. Above this, double-skinned aluminium-clad storeys were added, creating expansive vertical spaces across seven floors, plus a rooftop terrace and basement levels for the canteen and underground parking. Inner facades use semi-open corridors to access classrooms, maximising air flow and creating an open, welcoming atmosphere. Above the central courtyard with its sports courts is a sky ladder of stairs between each floor, symbolising a ladder to heaven, ending at the chapel. The school has long cultivated grapevines – in harvest season these will bedeck the sky ladder, creating a green corridor. The result is a school set for future generations of students, taking them onwards to success.

Her work for private clients and premium property developers is appreciated worldwide. To date, Dominika has completed over four-hundred interior design and architectural projects. Her Stellio Residence project in particular is testament to her creativity. The investors are a couple with two children, who decided to return to their homeland in Zambrow, a small town in north-east Poland. They purchased an old wooden thatched house and wanted it to be transformed into a unique architectural shape with well-designed accommodation, encompassing a big, bright kitchen and study with a library. The clients also wanted a swimming pool with an adjacent relaxation area, space to exhibit art

pieces, and a garage. Overall, they wanted a style that corresponded with the XIX century surroundings. The hall welcomes guests with its brave design and a decorative staircase that catches the eye. The saloon has a fireplace, with two sofas. The kitchen at first glance doesn’t look like one – it appears as an elegant continuation of the saloon. Decorative front panels cover refrigerators and the cargo compartment, whilst induction heating was embedded in the dark-coloured stone. The dining area is a highly important part of the home – it is calm, warm and welcoming, and at the same time quite refined. The master bedroom and children’s bedrooms are all located on the first floor. The swimming pool is the most important part of the house. It was designed in an artistic style within a flair of avant-garde and surrealistic elements.

The aesthetically designed landscape draws inspiration from nature, and these distinctive natural traits have created a perfect combination of colours and patterns displayed throughout each section of the property. The main entrance in particular towards Sathorn Road hosts a kangaroo sculpture, which is the

development’s signature piece and symbolises success and prosperity. The private summerhouse, which is in the shape of a bird cage, stands poised and graceful in the extensive garden area of 1000m². Designed in a modern luxury style, the one- to four-bedroom suites and the five-bedroom skyline penthouse are all built from world-class materials, such as Italian tiles for the floors and double-glazed windows for the bedrooms. In terms of world-class facilities, there is an enormous infinity-edge pool where residents can enjoy moments of relaxation, as well as the exclusive use of a Jacuzzi, man-made beach or the wooden pavilion. You will also find a pool deck garden on the 11th floor with views overlooking the beautiful city. For fitness enthusiasts, there is a dedicated area offering a range of health-related activities.
