Welcome!

With so many wonderful wintry destinations to explore it can be difficult to choose exactly where to visit, let alone where to invest in a permanent or secondary home.

Luckily, we’ve come to the rescue and made the decision far easier for you by narrowing the locations down to the French and Swiss Alps.

Firstly, the mirror lakes, ice-cold rivers and crevasse-scarred glaciers of the French Alps are possibly the most beautiful you will ever see. It is no surprise that the area is a magnet for people looking to escape for a deep breath of the rejuvenating mountain air. Areas such as La Clusaz, Val d’Isère, Chamonix, Courchevel, Méribel and Megève are a few that you should turn your attention to. We won’t reveal too much more though as we explore the French Alps further in this issue.

Next is the Swiss Alps with their astounding alpine scenery. Once here you will uncover some of Europe’s most dynamic views. Trails criss-cross the mountains

While the two locations listed above each have their own special draw we can’t forget our regular London feature. St John’s Wood takes precedence, and while the façades are usually stunning, the internals have often been completely and uniquely renovated.

Daniel Daggers Director Daniel Daggers Real Estate

W

ith a prime London location adjacent to Regent’s Park, St John’s Wood owes much of its housing stock today to the Eyre family, who developed the area in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. According to London agents Beauchamp Estates, who recently published a full report on the area, “while it catered and appealed to relatively affluent merchants and successful authors, artists, and scientists, the gentry considered it just outside their orbit. However, the then relatively inexpensive villas, with large gardens and tree-lined avenues, have never lost any of their appeal and St John’s Wood has steadily established itself as a discrete, ‘under the radar,’ part of ultra-prime central London.”

It is these very houses of course which still draw people in today.

Daniel Daggers, founder of Daniel Daggers Real Estate, has been in the business for over 20 years and has managed the sale of more than £3bn of residential property. He loves this area: “It’s that great mix of beautiful housing stock. Many, if not most of the super-prime houses have been refurbished over the years, so while the façades are usually stunning originals, the internals have often

been completely, and uniquely renovated. Residents thus enjoy every modern convenience in a beautiful historic building.”

Ian Green, Director of Ian Green Residential says, “The broad, tree-lined avenues and stucco-fronted villas are the trademarks of this well-heeled district of north-west London, with new developments and redevelopments popping up all the time for those with contemporary tastes. The biggest changes in the last five years have been along Avenue Road where houses have been demolished and new mansions built that will one day sell for between £30 million and £75 million. To the west, there are wide streets of early and mid-Victorian white stucco and brick villas and terraces. Along the busy thoroughfares, numerous apartment blocks range from Victorian mansion flats to Art Deco edifices and others built in every decade since.”

He adds: “There are many attractions that draw people here – the American School, Lord’s Cricket Ground and a high street with its designer boutiques and restaurants. Mainly though the area is the first suburb north from the West End and central London, offering spacious tree lined roads with family houses and large gardens. Its public green spaces plus its proximity to Regent’s Park make it a lovely place to live and it also has great transport facilities with easy access to the city and Heathrow airport.”

Jeremy Rosenblatt, Director of Vantage Residential states that “Living in St John’s Wood provides the best of both worlds. You feel like you could be far from the hustle and bustle of town but are very close to it. It has a warm village feel about it and having sold properties in the area for the past 28 years, I often find that my clients move within the area and seldom move out.” Similarly, Marc Schneiderman founded Arlington Residential in the area over 30 years ago: “Today prices range from £2.5m plus for a 3 bedroom apartment in an established quality building, to larger detached houses on streets such as Hamilton Terrace or Avenue Road requiring a budget of £20m upwards. There are a handful of homes in the area able to achieve £60m plus if you are fortunate enough to be able to persuade the owner to part with it – some of the more special houses have been in the same family occupation for many decades. The owners of these super rare homes know they are almost irreplaceable, and a privilege to own.”

Rosy Khalastchy, Head of Office in St John’s Wood for Beauchamp Estates, says in their report: “Both buyers and tenants are placing an ever-greater emphasis on space, green space and living local, particularly since the pandemic, which has meant that people spent more time at home. The market for houses in St John’s Wood, sales and lettings, has steamed ahead, outperforming every area of central London. The combined price advantage, lifestyle benefits and location of St John’s Wood all conspire to indicate that there remains substantial scope for further growth in this evergreen market.” »

Howeson led the extremely successful migration of Savills Auctions into a new live-stream online format at the start of the first UK lockdown in March 2020. The new format has allowed Savills to hold a greater number of auctions, provides more flexibility in responding to clients’ requirements and ultimately has significantly raised the firm’s average sale price.

imothy Oulton was influenced from a young age by traditional British craftsmanship. His father had opened a small antiques shop in the late 1970s located in Hale, near Manchester, UK. Tim took the helm in 1990, worked with trusted experts in the fields of wood and

leather and, having opened his first gallery in New York in 2008, gradually a global business of almost 30 outlets, which now includes not only furnishings, but a hugely successful design studio, restaurants, and much more besides, was born.

This Rex dining table from Timothy Oulton recaptures the magic and romance of a glamourous golden age. The entire Rex Art Deco inspired collection shares its name with an historic cinema in England; a 1930s gem boasting a beautiful auditorium with dramatic lighting. This wonderfully lit table juxtaposes its raw iron frame with glowing prisms of optical grade glass, refracting the light in a dance of

Beautiful Blooms A bouquet of floral watches

Pink Perfection This pink diamond watch from Graff is truly captivating. The creation of this remarkable piece involved the matching and setting of more than 380 pink diamonds weighing almost 16 carats into the dial, the bezel and the bracelet, creating a single high jewellery watch – an extraordinary feat. The round silhouettes of the stones inspired the elegant, circular design, with the minimal rose gold settings allowing each pink diamond to dance with colour and light.

These stunning timepieces are created in the bouquet style of a beautiful bunch of Piaget Roses. Each dial comes to life in the hands of Dick Steenman who sculpts and engraves the miniature Piaget Roses in gold. Anita Porchet then adds the perfect shade of enamel and Dick delicately hollows the flower’s centre to prepare it for the setting of the diamonds, sapphires, and tsavorites that will become the pistils.

Wuhan UI Center "I want that the whole space is filled with a pleasant sound.

The space and sound have a close relationship but are separate each other."

- Yu Zhao

About Yu Zhao

Yu Zhao, a famous interior designer in China, contemporary art collector, and race car driver, serves as the Founder and Art Director of YU STUDIO. He adopts flexible patterns for artistic creation, and emphasizes the interestingness of space and the injection of artistic emotions.

Like a floating city, Wuhan floats on the surface of rivers and lakes. The project design was inspired by the unique water culture of Wuhan. Based on "water", the designer invited his friend Ouge, a musician, to create a piece of unique music for this space, and integrated the sound art into space expression here.

"Sound and space constitute the framework of the design concept.

Sound is integrated into the context of contemporary art and sound tracks are interwoven and mixed invisibly in the space, so that visitors walk as if in a sound field, interacting with the art installations in the space and motivating the emotions of the whole space.

Visitors start their tour with a tea space, where the sound of water droplets activates visitors’ auditory system. Then they enter a high corridor, which provides a sp atial atmo sphere of temple s for instantly silencing people.

In the corridor, the light and the sky colour mix mutually, and the sound of water droplets is high sometimes and low sometimes. The sound source is located in the roof of the second floor just above the spiral staircase. Therefore, the guidance of

Yu-Studio-DPS.indd 3

the tour route is beyond ordinary visual guidance, but a process of "seeking for a sound source".

Listening to the sound whiling going upstairs from the corridor, visitors can also "view" the stairs in the box, the bronze mirror on the f loor, and the hanging stone which constitute a complete art installation with a special art environment.

The light darkens here, and the reflection in the mirror looks like the surface of a pool of water, attracting people to stop and feel their blurred environment around.

The sound of water droplets does not correspond to the real dropping water, but to the art stone hanging from above. So far, illusion and reality coexist, and sound and space are integrated.

walls separate the space into a series of continuous pictures, which depict the warm, delicate and romantic sceneries of spring, river, flower, moon and night in the traditional Chinese style.

"When a building stays, the river doesn't stop f lowing ." In Wuhan, Qingchuan Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower stand b eside the river, and the river f low s constantly all day and night. In UI Center, an art installation that combines a stable building with unstable mirror images through which the suspension bridge passes. The instability of the suspension bridge and the swinging of the perforating copper give people a kind of dreamlike feeling.

The stairs outside the door, the bamboo forest out of the window, the fire in the stove, the musical instrument under the flower, the water droplets in the air...are reflected in the water. The water on the first floor statically expresses a kind of extreme quiet, while that on the second floor emphasizes the sense of mobility of the space.

The second floor is connected with the first floor. Those regular windows and

TATE’S (NON-IDENTICAL) TWINS

Jah Shaka | 1983 Collection Shane Akeroyd, London | © Denzil Forrester

Lubaina Himid Between the Two My Heart is Balanced | 1991 | Acrylic on canvas © Lubaina Himid

t's hard to know whether to start at Tate Modern for the Lubaina Himid solo exhibition or at Tate Britain for Life Between Islands which explores artists who came to the UK in the 1950s as part of the Windrush generation as well as artists influenced by the Caribbean heritage. Either way, these two major exhibitions shine a light on a hitherto overlooked collection of black artists who have one way or another transformed post War British culture and society.

The landmark exhibition connects 40 artists with works of photography, sculpture, portraiture, drawing, painting, video and other installations. Artists represented include Frank Bowling, Peter Doig, Chris Ofili and Aubrey Williams alongside many less wellknown names. Among the subjects covered in photographic panels are the rise of Black Power and the Black Arts Movement and London's' grime scene. The continuing resonance of colonial history is a powerful recurring theme and a sense of apartness and separation from homelands is often present in the works. While graphic reminders of the slave trade are thankfully few, this show inevitably leaves one with a sense of disquiet.

Tate Modern's Lubiana Himid celebrates the life of this 67-year-old Turner Prize winning artist and curator. Born in Zanzibar, Himid came to the UK when she was just a baby after her father's premature death. An early member of the Black Arts Movement, her work was largely overlooked until 2017 when she won the Turner Prize and was projected onto the world stage.

There's also a lot of theatre in this show and surprising references to European art history. One of Himid's most sassy works, A Fashionable Marriage, is a room full of life size cut out figures inspired by the 18th century satirist Hogarth's series of paintings of an

arranged marriage. Another work (Between The Two My Heart Is Balanced) showing two woman in a boat is a riff on a painting by the 19th century French painter Tissot. Himid has said she was "trying to write herself ... into the history of British painting" and she has certainly done that.

interview

Describe your childhood…

I was born in Libya and had a very peripatetic childhood, travelling from country to county in Europe mostly. I was quite shy and yet madly creative – not at all interested in books other than art. I came to live in the UK when I was fifteen, so memories are vast and varied.

One of the best moments I had was at one of my schools (I went to 12!) – my art teacher was so amazing and encouraged me to enter an art competition which I won.

I then had the confidence to start drawing images of pop stars and selling them to my peer group at school; that was when the fun began as I found out I had some kind of talent that was recognised.

Black and white features prominently in your designs. What is the story behind this?

I have always had a love of the simplicity of graphics and the contrast between the mark and the background – so what simpler than the purity of black and white with which to make a statement? This personal vision I had developed into part of the TF company’s brand ‘look’ when we started and it went from there.

Obviously education is key and training helps us all to develop an understanding of whatever is good or bad within our specialisms. So this feeling is no different to that.

I teach a lot whenever I can and the experience of working with different designers and students helps me to understand the language we speak as designers.

What’s the strangest request you’ve received for a job?

Nothing feels too strange because everything is a challenge and I love that. The more diverse my commissions are the more exciting I find it.

“I have always had a love of the simplicity of graphics and the contrast between the mark and the background – so what simpler than the purity of black and white with which to make a statement?”

How did you get started in interior, product and textile design?

I started off by doing a degree in Fine Art, which in my case was sculpture and print-making.

I then did an MA at Edinburgh and was lucky enough to do a second MA at the Royal College of Art. By the time I started there I had transitioned to design – the printmaking side of my work had become key to my creative ideas. Plus, as I was a single mum I was able to make more of a living from my application of print to product.

I then went straight to Japan after winning a major travelling scholarship when I left the RCA. I had a list of numbers to call when I arrived in Tokyo and had no idea that the first number on the list would not only turn out to have the most amazing contacts in the fashion and interior scene, but would end up being my agent for 25 years.

What was your ambition for the Timney Fowler business when you first started?

None other than make a living at the beginning – by then I had 2 children – and I had begun to travel to Japan frequently. Grahame Fowler and I opened a studio in Portobello and had begun to build up a reputation for interior design, fabrics and wallpapers in London.

How has the business grown?

In the thirty years since Timney Fowler started we have grown in size. We’ve had good times and once or twice harder times.

However, our philosophy has basically stayed the same with regards to our creative attitude and never seeking the mainstream.

Your clientele is high-end. Was it always your dream to design for those type of clients?

When we started out it was our dream to design for like-minded people who had no real products on the market to put into their edgy homes… as I said our first studio/ retail outlet was in Portobello and we just found that actually it was the hub of the creative community at that time – So they were our clients. The wonderful thing was that as our creative clients grew and their work was well recognised – then so was ours, so it was a completely natural step that took us to designing for what turned out to be the ‘high end’.

What has been your most memorable design and collaboration?

TF’s most memorable design has to be the Roman head and my most memorable personal collaboration has to be with Linda McCartney. Paul contacted me originally to work on the World Tour and then I met Linda. She and I worked together for the last 10 years of her life and it was a complete privilege… she taught me so much in so many ways and I still hold our friendship and partnership dear to my heart.

How do you know when interior design is ‘good’?

It’s a feeling very often that is built through the experience of making and doing.

Tell me a bit more about The Grand Designs Water Tower project? How did you feel when it was nominated for a BAFTA? I designed this project for clients who were also friends – Lee and Graham. They had already started filming for the Grand Designs TV show, but they needed help, really, with the whole design concept and just getting it up to scratch. I think my budget was a credit card, which was shocking because it didn’t have any limit on it. But I gave myself a tight budget as no budget is a rather scary concept! The colour theme became a big starting point and led the design process.

I started with a darker blue at the bottom, and then used a white and pale blue colour scheme at the top of the building. The top room was actually an old water tank, and we cut out windows all around that tank to make it into a 360-degree view. When I heard the project had been nominated for a BAFTA, I didn’t expect it. I think I was surprised because time had gone on and I moved on quite fast. That's what I do. I always multitask. Overall, it was lovely and very surprising.

Your work keeps inspiring the interior design community. What does the future hold for Sue Timney?

More please! I really enjoy the challenge nowadays of working with Timney Fowler and my own ST design consultancy in a more commercial market – large hotels, or interesting developments that have a fresh way of approaching the market. I’m very interested in looking at those larger companies who are looking forward and making more eco- and creative-friendly developments.

or high-end residential property owners, a home is not just a place to live, it’s also a place to be proud of, a place that shows their identities and proves their success in life.

At Ralph, the customer’s satisfaction is the most important goal of each project. We spend time to discuss their needs and how they want their dream home to look.

Our designers then create the mood and tone that will be the guideline of the overall project. Our high-end clients’ favourite luxury elements tend to be warm colours with a touch of gold, or some may prefer white with silver and some shade of blue. The entrance hall is the first impression that guests get - this is where we first make them notice the subjects or stories the owner wants them to see.

Our designers ensure that guests are drawn to the main attraction the owner wishes to display - a marble design on the floor always works effectively. The area should not be filled up with too many furniture; only a few selective pieces will do, and that will make it more exclusive and welcoming. We also found that high ceilings will make the space airier and grander and it also works well with a nice chandelier and wall decor. We believe that a carefully designed project is the perfect reflection of the client’s taste and lifestyle and we always try our best to enhance their luxury lifestyle to the fullest.

A New Icon Almost 70 years ago, a sports car was launched in Stuttgart and immediately became a legend. Shortly after its début in 1952, the 300 SL found success after success on the race tracks of the world.

The new Mercedes-AMG SL returns to its roots with a classic soft top and sporty character. At the same time, this luxurious roadster is particularly suitable for everyday use. With all-wheel drive, high-tech components such as the AMG Active Ride Control suspension, rear-axle steering, the option for AMG ceramic highperformance composite braking, and the standard-fit Digital Light; in combination with the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, the model offers a driving experience of the highest order as well as good looks.

TESTING TIMES

The 2019 Geneva Motor Show saw the debut of the Piëch Mark Zero electric sports car concept. This autumn the company announced that progress is being made on the production model under the name Piëch GT, which is now in trials phase. Piëch say that the all-electric model with a nominal range of 500km, can be charged to 80 percent capacity in eight minutes, faster with some technologies. The market launch is expected as early as mid-2024 with the GT the first vehicle in a product family of three variants, all of which aim to transport typical sports car handling into the electric age.

The French Alps

S Benoît Clerc Real Estate Professional Agence Clerc, affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate

tunning architecture, a romantic atmosphere and beautiful homes make France a popular destination for property investors the world over. For those who also fancy a bit of adventure, the country is brimming with a host of activities, including skiing.

As France’s main mountain range, the French Alps offers a cornucopia of breathtaking views, pretty villages and picture-perfect slopes.

“In fact, this mountainous region offers visitors many ski slopes with varied landscapes and perfect snow conditions,” says Benoît Clerc, Real Estate Professional at Agence Clerc Agence Clerc, affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate.

Benoît adds: “The most famous ski resorts for ultra-high and high net worth individuals are La Clusaz, Val d'Isère, Chamonix, Courchevel, Méribel and Megève. Chalets are not the only investment that property investors seek.

More and more real estate programs are being created. The apartments are very sought-after and become for the most part secondary residences.”

“The location is a determining factor for the purchase of a property in the French Alps. In addition, if the ski area is large and connected to others, it will be easier to rent it out later. Finally, the proximity to shops is a criterion that remains essential.

“People love family resorts because there is something for everyone in the family with many activities available all year round like in La Clusaz. In

addition to skiing, in the summer it is possible to go hiking in the mountains, mountain biking, summer sledding or horseback riding.”

In terms of how the ski market has fared throughout the Pandemic, Benoît states that “With Covid, ski resorts were unable to welcome tourists last winter (2020). However, some people came in spite of that to practice other winter sports or simply to recharge their batteries in the mountains. We actually did experience a drop in activity, however in the last few months demand has been a stronger than supply.

“Also, for this year, having a health pass became obligatory, and in terms of the future, activity will resume gradually, but unfortunately nothing is certain. Until then, all our staff are on hand via various types of digital platforms to ensure that the properties that we do have for sale are easily and readily available to be viewed by our French and foreign customers.”

Beautiful chalets Les Chalets Celenia is a stunning new set of seven luxury properties located in the La Gittaz hamlet of Meribel and just a few minutes from the Olympe Lift. The chalets will be finished to a very high standard by a renowned developer who has already built a number of prestigious properties in the region.

Spread over 4 or 5 floors, each will have spacious living areas, fantastic views and its own private wellness area, some of which include an indoor swimming pool.

The Swiss Alps

T Maxime Dubus Managing Director SPG One, affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate

Alex Koch de Gooreynd Partner Knight Frank

he Swiss Alps are renowned for being a “sought-after holiday destination for both international and local clients,” says Maxime Dubus, Managing Director at SPG One, affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate.

He continues: “Offering a change of scenery, a prestigious residence in a renowned resort allows you to indulge in numerous sports activities all year round – skiing, of course, but also hiking, mountain biking or golf – to take time for yourself in a wellness centre or to practice chic shopping at altitude.

“Whether you are a sports or relaxation enthusiast, the choice of an Alpine resort is of paramount importance in order to take full advantage of its many qualities.

With the phenomenon of semimain residence, the owners do not take advantage of their properties

only for vacations; they buy to come with their family, friends or to work.”

In terms of rules and regulations for foreign citizens, Alex Koch de Gooreynd, Partner at Knight Frank says: “There is a law there called the Lex Koller Regulation, and this is a regulation that limits the purchase of residential real estate across Switzerland. The law basically says that a non-Swiss resident can buy one property per named individual with a maximum of 200m² of official living space, and you cannot rent it for more than about 10 months of the year. You cannot sell it within the first five years of ownership for a profit. For those that have a Swiss passport or people who have a Swiss residency permit, they are allowed to buy effectively anywhere they want across the country.”

There are a host of popular locations that ultra-high net worth and high net worth individuals seek in

the Swiss Alps. “Sporty and festive Verbier is a great place to live with its characteristic chalets and their slate roofs,” says Maxime.

“Also located in the Valais region and boasting a vast ski area, Crans-Montana also owes its reputation to the organised sports competitions that take place there, notably the Omega European Masters golf tournament and the Ski World Cup. It remains a popular resort for families, the majority of whom are Swiss.

“Discreet and quiet Gstaad is the posh resort par excellence, the preferred drop-off point for all luxury brands. Frequented by the jet-set who know they will not be disturbed, the village is distinguished by its chalets with a sophisticated architecture that is perfectly integrated into the landscape. Only wooden constructions are allowed, in order to preserve the authentic and intimate character of the village.”

How the ski market has fared throughout the pandemic is one of the most important questions that property investors want answered.

Alex says: “The COVID situation has really driven many more people to the mountains to enjoy this sort of big outdoor space.” Maxime agrees, “this year has highlighted the health benefits of mountain living. The combination of fresh air, wide open spaces, recreational activities, quality health care and a reliable internet connection makes alpine living an obvious choice for people seeking protection from the pandemic.”

With regards to the future, “In times of uncertainty, the Swiss franc is the safest currency in the world alongside the US dollar”, says Maxime. “With interest rates now negative (-0.75 bps), the attractiveness of Swiss property is increasing.

Negative interest rates mean that Swiss banks are charging their clients for the investment of capital, prompting many to look at real estate investments to preserve their wealth and generate income.”

celebrates and elevates the achievements and progress of companies the world over.

As always, our judging panel had the exciting task of scoring entries from these two highly competitive regions, and the entrants went above and beyond expectations. Several projects won multiple awards for Arabia including B5 Design and Balwin properties which attained no less than 7 awards for 5 projects. Receiving three 5-Star awards was Naseej BSC with its CanalView project: luxurious residences set in beautifully landscaped gardens in the heart of Dilmunia, Bahrain.

Among the highest scoring entrants for Africa was Magnolia Realty Ghana. The company’s residential development called The Mulberry features homes with elegant architecture that’s simplistic yet eye-catching. One of its stand-out elements is The Hive, an interactive family-oriented urban space with amenities to foster entertainment, relaxation, health and wellness. In addition, Pam Golding Properties in South Africa secured three 5-Star awards for outstanding work in the real estate realm.

These are of course but a few of the top Africa and Arabia entrants who will go on to compete against other exceptionally talented award-winning companies from Europe, the UK, Asia Pacific, Canada, the USA, Caribbean, Central and South America to find the World’s Best in each category.

Many congratulations to all those listed in this publication and continued success in the future.

B 2021-2022

5 Design was established with the vision of offering creative design and fitout solutions that meet their clients’ expectations. Each one of the company’s projects is truly unique and delivers a special experience through the seamless fusion of design and operation.

B5’s private residential palace design in Qatar is one such project that exemplifies exclusivity and elegance. The project’s classic interior design is inspired by 18th century French décor and includes a timeless layout that emphasizes luxury. Influenced by the study and analysis of some of the best buildings and palaces that have been constructed in the past, the residence is truly magnificent.

The central atrium, at a total height of 16m, connects all the floors in the home.

It is the main circulation area between all of the spaces as it includes elevators, staircases and corridors. The atrium was developed using carved patterns across the floor, walls and ceiling. Glass fibre reinforced gypsum coated walls with classic decorative moulding and heavy-textured wallpaper and cove lights are but a few of the elements that envelop this beautiful home, and they blend together in perfect harmony. The choice of furniture and lighting adds a striking balance to the design. Overall, achieving this look without adding excessive detail was key to the success of this project.

Private Royal Majlis

B5’s Private Royal Majlis project is inspired by 17th and 18th century European décor. All the elements used embody a timeless style that is redolent of elegance and comfort. It is truly the joy of creation that has enabled B5 to create another stand-out design.

Initially, the company faced several problems including height limitations and issues with ventilation, but creative thinking dissolved all the dilemmas.

Functionality and shape are the two main elements that have been considered and on this basis these components provide a sense of harmony throughout. Everything from the furniture and lighting to the wall décor was taken into careful consideration and in line with 17th and 18th European style.

The grandiose interior includes lots of neutrals that will never go out of style.

Paired with a variety of textures, including the curtains, the B5 team created plenty of interest and layers – important factors when strong colours are out of the picture. Neutrals also create a calming setting, where one can focus on the tasks ahead or unwind at the end of the day. Even the selection of pillows and artwork creates a quality and enjoyable environment.

Additionally, the ornamentation that graces the walls and ceilings throughout gives off an air of luxury and sophistication. In capturing the essence of unique design, this project makes a lasting impression on all who step through the door.

Qatari Diar Real Estate and Tourism Investment Company, Egypt (LLC) Building no.65, 90th Street,

atari Diar Real Estate Company was established in 2005 by the Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Qatar.

Headquartered northeast of capital Doha on the coast of the Arabian Gulf, Qatari Diar was entrusted to support Qatar’s growing economy and to coordinate the country’s real estate development priorities.

The St. Regis Cairo hotel project is part of a 197,000 square metre mixed-use development on a prime site along the banks of the Nile River just north of downtown Cairo, Egypt. It is a five-star, full service luxury hotel with 286 guestrooms and suites, 98 serviced apartments and luxury condominiums.

Hotel guests and future residents will experience luxury from the moment they arrive. Exceptional materials and detailing create a first impression on the exterior and

carry through the entire interior, down to the furnishings and fixtures. The design team focused on creating a guest experience unlike any other in the world; think a water garden, bright artwork and an Asian restaurant that transports guests to another world.

The entire development on which the hotel sits is known as the Nile Corniche project. The development consists of two towers, connected by four levels of underground parking for 654 cars and an eight-level podium.

Tower 1, with 36 stories above grade, contains three levels of offices at the base, 30 levels and 103 units of luxury condominiums, and a four-storey reserve penthouse. Tower 2 is reserved largely for the L-shaped hotel, and contains 35 stories above grade. Setting a new paradigm in mixed-used experiences, the Nile Corniche Project is one where luxury and comfort coincide.

he National Social Security Fund, Uganda (NSSF) manages assets worth over $4.3 billion, invested in fixed income, equities and real estate in East Africa. The NSSF currently owns around 2000 acres of prime land in Kampala and other metropolitan areas. Its real estate strategy entails the unlocking of value on prime land, by conceptualising mixed use residential and commercial projects.

The 550-acre Solana Lifestyle and Residences project provides 3,000 housing units, with supporting retail, commercial, leisure, institutional and sporting facilities. Set in Lubowa, a highly desirable green suburb of Kampala, there is a sense of being in a semirural environment, but the Central Business District is close by, as is Entebbe Airport

and its expressway. The surrounding area is well served with private schools, medical facilities, childcare settings, convenience retail and places of worship. Solana will be the first development in this area to offer a true live, work, play and stay environment.

Embracing the concept of New Urbanism, with pedestrian friendly communities and a great range of leisure options, the project sets out to create an oasis of calm. Strong urban design principles encourage communities attractive to people of diverse ages, income levels and cultures.

Leisure, hospitality and green open spaces will offer respite while four linear parks along the riverine system will create a formal green lung – unique in this part of Africa – a restored habitat-rich open forest, a

communal food garden and orchards, as well as boulevard parks along the main roadsides.

Residences include a range of beautifully designed villas, bungalows, townhouses, apartments and penthouses created to satisfy the requirements, lifestyle, needs and aspirations of their owners, whether they be for occupation or investment. Green building principles are used in the design of all buildings. Architecture here responds to the traditions and forms of buildings of East Africa and the Indian Ocean Basin – in essence, a timeless architecture which also captures the innovation of modern design.

A key element is the inclusion of the outdoor room or “braza”, a traditional public meeting place – apartments feature courtyards, while villas and bungalows all have verandas and outdoor entertainment areas. Each residential

community enjoys its own clubhouse facility and swimming pool, and will have a central estate management centre, and police and fire station.

The planned retail, commercial and leisure offerings will appeal not only to purchasers of Solana Residential units – whether they be young professionals, families or retirees – but also those living in the surrounding affluent area of Lubowa, young people from Kampala seeking the amenities on offer, and ex-pats from Entebbe. A great deal of time, thought and innovation has been devoted to services such as efficient and effective waste management, ICT, voice and data provision, digital satellite television and security, all elements which can often be taken for granted, but only if they are well considered, as they have been here.

aterfall is the largest mixeduse development in Africa and the largest property development in South African history, ultimately combining over 28,000 residential units housing an estimated 80,000 people, with approximately 2.5 million square metres of Gross Leasable Area for commercial, retail and office space, which will eventually accommodate a further 95,000 people. This extensive urban concept development can be found in Gauteng, the economic hub of South Africa.

Situated on a 2,200-hectare tract of land, Waterfall is extraordinary in the sense that, as a ‘greenfield’ development, 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, utilising the latest urban design principles for infrastructure, services, open public spaces and the buildings themselves.

Offering integrated stay-work-shop-play environments that are secure, ecologically sensitive, conveniently located and easily accessible, Waterfall provides unsurpassed quality of life in a vibrant urban setting. As a world-class mixed-use development and a true lifestyle and blue-chip business destination, it features everything expected from a lively modern city: eight secure residential developments, two retirement villages, three private schools, a teachers’ college and a hospital, four hotels and South Africa’s only heliport.

The development also includes extensive commercial and office parks, vast green spaces and high-tech fitness centres, a range of dining and entertainment options and inspiring shopping destinations like the iconic Mall of Africa – the largest mall on the continent to be built in a single phase. All this, along with a state-of-the-art fibre optic and wireless communication network, as well as on-site

alternative energy provision, make Waterfall a one-of-a-kind mixed-use development.

Waterfall strives to promote an integrated, eco-friendly environment. At the epicentre of this energised precinct, the 130,000m² superregional Mall of Africa is a beacon celebrating connected living. The mall’s award-winning architectural form is inspired by the geological beauty of Africa. It reflects this splendour using wood, stone, glass, concrete and other natural materials. An interior example here is the glass roof and light wood used to create ‘trees’ in the centre court of the mall, which takes its inspiration from the forests of central Africa.

The layout of the mall is unique in that it comprises both straight and curved walls with high shopfronts and an abundance of natural light. The main court areas are accentuated with their own identity and this, in combination with the racetrack layout, makes it easy for the shopper to navigate. The central spine is a key area of the design in that it links

various offerings to provide a seamless retail experience with an incredible, dramatically large, environmentally friendly roof covering.

Many of the Waterfall City tenants have taken a stance on sustainability and environmental sensitivity, like international business brand Deloitte. Their impressive 42,500m² South African head office was awarded a Silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating in April 2021. This smart building’s energy performance is optimised with solar panels, renewable back-up power, and enhanced ventilation to reduce electricity usage from air-conditioners.

Other features include blinds that track the sun, rainwater harvesting and storage, indigenous landscaping, and a bottling plant in the basement of the building to provide glassbottled water as an alternative to plastic bottles.

Without a doubt, Waterfall is a truly trailblazing city, setting new standards in property development.

BD Collective is an award-winning design firm focused on materialising sophisticated design into inspired physical spaces.

Positioned in the exclusive area of District One, Dubai UAE, XBD Collective were approached by a young family of four to design a villa tailor-made to their unique tastes. The design brief was to create a four-bedroom residence with an impeccably detailed interior scheme.

Large open spaces were necessary for hosting family and peers, whilst more understated family spaces were needed for privacy and comfort. The design consisted of rich materials and textures, specialist joinery, high-end finishes and strategically placed decorative and indirect lighting to create

ambience and heighten the sense of luxury.

Upon entering the property, an impressive entranceway is covered in Crema Dolce marble, vertical gold accents and crystal elements. Eyes are further drawn to a black St. Laurent marble window that features a custom-made crystal chandelier design of molded glass leaves.

Situated within the sought-after gated community of Emirates Hills in Dubai, XBD Collective transformed a commercial project into a striking residence for an influential family of four. The client wanted a u-shaped structure with indoor-outdoor living experiences. Organised across two levels, the layout of the villa comprises different multipurpose spaces to support functionality.

Within the u-shaped structure, the ground floor is divided into two wings, customised

with floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the outdoor landscaping. Upon entering the home, a statement Vibia wire-grid chandelier is suspended above a Cattalan Italia centre table.

Terraces Villa is a modern-style luxury residence in the middle of the trendy Emirates Hills suburb in Dubai. The villa is to house a family of three generations. As is the case with any home that is to be constructed in the context of a city that never sleeps, it was important for the client’s family that the building was designed as a warm home; a place of retreat and serenity. The client wanted the team to explore the idea of a large central atrium that visually connects all levels. In addition, a grand front entrance with a strong identity became a requirement, as well as a rear garden and terrace area for hosting occasional events.

The client’s brief for The Ariant Residence located in the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai was to create a contemporary classical ninebedroom family home that maximises outdoor spaces, and directs itself toward the views overlooking the beach facing the prestigious Dubai Marina. The client was also very eager to explore energy saving systems and green building techniques. The hardscape design utilises a neutral colour palette that complements the main villa design. A light travertine stone to the terraces and balconies is used throughout to offer a natural feel, whilst the swimming pool tile is aqua blue to enhance the effect of water in the proposed infinity pool. The project was tailored to stand out as an exquisite home and XBD Collective provided that and so much more.

ward-winning Legaro Property Development delivers upmarket residential and commercial properties.

Based in Johannesburg, the Legaro team firmly believe in fundamentally changing the way buildings are created.

The six stand-alone villas of Melrose Walk, in the suburb of Melrose North, provide accommodation which offers modern families a dynamic and comfortable living environment whilst maximising privacy, security and luxury. Project outcomes here are focused on convenience, sustainability and lifestyle, and are successfully delivered.

Adjacent to the Legaro HQ, the high-end office block at 76 Corlett Drive incorporates the pinnacle of cutting-edge sustainable technology. With three storeys and a rooftop venue, this development is destined to be the first of its kind when it comes to green credentials, maximising the

building’s performance, whilst reducing development costs.

Collaborating on the above, Daffonchio Architects was founded in 1996. The firm is also based in Johannesburg, and is active in Africa and Europe. Projects range from product design to entire precinct developments; from luxury homes to sustainable housing in Africa’s booming cities.

Hyde Park Square by Legaro Property Development is designed by Daffonchio Architects. Here the team worked to create an iconic street presence which reflects the ethos of both companies; demonstrating sector leadership, and taking into consideration context, environment and the wellbeing of those living there. Here strikingly beautiful louvered screens incorporating green walls ensure privacy, while the building’s elegant colour palette is enhanced with the use of diffused lighting throughout.

ore Z Architects work across a range of residential, commercial, hotel and mixed-use projects.

The company has a reputation for bringing both a personal touch and a wealth of experience to every project, from conception all the way to completion.

The first of many projects which showcase the company’s undeniable abilities is the Skills Tower office design. It encompasses a bold and contemporary tower that changes appearance as it rises, emphasizes transparency and lightness, and responds to the balance between architecture and nature.

In order to make the most of natural light, a variety of materials was used to create a softer and more subtle play of light and shadow. The impressive building rises to the tenth floor, with the first two floors being dominated by a magnificent entrance hall.

Villa Azalea was built to offer guests total relaxation and a unique experience. The Atlas Mountain that the site overlooks was motivation for the design’s open, outward facing orientation. The villa is characterised by its high transparency which allows the construction to fit harmoniously into the surroundings, with open fragmented glass walls showcasing views of the mountains.

Almas Delux 5-star hotel consists of 99 bedrooms and suites as well as various leisure functions such as a large lobby, two restaurants, a bar and sitting areas. The project is surrounded by carefully treated gardens, while the façade of the building is clad in wooden slats used in combination with an exposed concrete slab and a series of glass panels along the terraces. The use of these durable and natural elements embodies the special interest of integrating sustainability into design.

WA International PO Box 42, Dubai

United Arab Emirates

A International is renowned for creating exquisite interiors for the hospitality market. The company has established an enviable clientele with longstanding relationships reflecting its commitment to perfecting unique interiors.

With a passion for ancient Egypt, WAI’s client wanted to mirror specific elements throughout the design of Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk. The building itself is shaped as an immense obelisk standing 51-storeys tall in the heart of Dubai.

Impressive pharaonic columns stand tall within the 18-metre high entrance lobby, carved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. A nine-metre wide golden falcon sculpture takes centre stage over the reception desks. The falcon symbolises the Egyptian god of the sky Horus, representing immense power. Falcons are also the UAE’s national bird and a potent symbol of the nation’s strength and heritage.

The French restaurant’s design elements include luxurious Egyptian motifs and bold colours such as white, black and gold. Fluted columns, plaster reliefs and bulbous light fittings appear throughout. The client also wanted WA International to deliver an English gastropub.

The design concept was inspired by the client’s fondness for cats, therefore the cat goddess Bastet became the Egyptian reference. Her story is carved in hieroglyphic stone panels, while large images of her silhouette adorn the rear walls.

The executive club offers an impressive 360° view of Dubai. The colours were kept light and fresh with touches of pale green. Mirrored columns with art deco palm leaf patterns were used to reflect the views throughout the space. Touches of French sophistication and contemporary ancient Egyptian accents are also evident. All these interior elements blend to create a truly spectacular design.

eld Architects is a modern architectural design studio that specialises in designing bespoke luxury homes that not only bring endless joy but also have a cohesive relationship with nature.

The company’s ‘Ode to the Industrial Revolution’ project located in Johannesburg, South Africa was designed to allow for adequate privacy from neighbouring properties. The client asked for a playful and functional interpretation of the barn house and industrial style which fully embraced the potential of the surrounding natural landscapes. Living spaces were required to work in harmony with the trees and to be spread out across the site, creating a variety of scenic walkways and visual linkages, all complemented by the garden spaces.

In terms of style, the client sought a feeling of cosy simplicity accented by the bold geometrics and volumes more reminiscent of internal industrial environments. Strewn across the site are extruded, sunken and raised forms which are interpretations of the traditional barn style home creating a playful and exploratory experience.

Furthermore, the client wanted to make use of simple, durable materials that require minimal maintenance. They wanted to create a sustainable home to harness the optimal potential of the site. Sustainable principles such as rainwater harvesting, natural ventilation and lighting, green roof strategies and solar collection were explored. Overall, the end result is a house which makes a visual statement while still blending seamlessly with the exterior.

NGS Architects

GS Architects is an award-winning multidisciplinary practice established in early 2009 in Dubai, UAE. The company specialises in residential, commercial, retail, landscape and multi-use sectors.

The company’s 0/2 Mudon project is situated within one of the most revered residential areas in ‘New Dubai’. The initial design and structure were inspired by the clients’ lifestyle and current economic situation. The Covid pandemic meant that they would be spending more time together, therefore the design would need to function as a workplace, for the family to get together as well as a place to relax and unwind.

The brief was very concise: to create zones for greeting guests including a work area, a play area for the kids, swim/spa, an outdoor dining setting, and a BBQ area overlooking the pool. The project was to be fully automated and controlled by the touch of a button. The client

also asked for the architecture to be crisp, clean and efficient.

NGS architects kept existing trees and added a larger variety of plants to make the surroundings more exotic. The man cave was pivotal to the arrangement and architecture of the whole project. It was fitted out with a pantry equipped with a bar, fridge, sink and ample cabinet/drawer storage and houses a working area extruding from the TV wall that sits opposite the pantry.

The pool area features a Jacuzzi, hydrotherapy jets, a water curtain, nozzles and year-round temperature control. The BBQ area is a one-piece marble slab structure with storage underneath. It has a stainless-steel BBQ pit as well as a lighting system/sink and a smoke extractor feature which sits opposite a towering custom designed pergola. Overall, the project is a place to be alone, indulge in hobbies, work and hang out with family and friends.

The ethos for their interiors is about more than just beauty; their focus is on creating spaces which represent the style and personality of the client, whilst keeping in mind the structure of the property and the spaces they are designing.

Royal Green is the thread which runs throughout this beautiful private residence in Kuwait. The colour, which is used as an accent in furnishings, light fittings and even accessories, brings the various rooms together with one cohesive design theme. Central to this

project is the client’s passion for fashion, which is apparent in the modern accessories used to finish the rooms, and which add luxurious yet practical touches.

Layering and texture plays a vital part in the design, with the use of a wide variety of sumptuous fabrics and materials including velvet, silk, marble, metal and glass. Each area of the accommodation has been thoughtfully considered, and the warm colour palette creates a welcoming ambience. The expansive master bedroom is divided with a clever use of screening doubling as a wonderful piece of practical furniture, while the bold lines throughout create added interest and distinctive shapes.

s renowned interior architects and designers, Jackson and Co Designs provide exceptional services from the drawing board right through to the finished project.

The production studio, which is currently under construction, and belongs to one of the longest standing TV stations in Ghana will be a wonderful sustainable and solar-powered build.

It is one such project where the architecture and interior design is being handled by Jackson and Co Designs. The final result will be an area used by award-winning producers, actors, dignitaries and celebrities, as well as to educate upcoming media talents and much more – a first for Ghana.

The project site had three blocks of twostorey structures on it. With the client’s budget and brief in mind, Jackson and Co concluded on remodelling block A and B and demolishing part of block C for the design of a three-storey mixed-use building consisting of a production

studio on the ground floor and offices on the first and second floors.

This forward-thinking design has taken the environment into consideration via solar power and reserves in place for back-up, water storage and recycling. Non-flammable recycled material was used for the exterior cladding without compromising on style. Further elements include wooden parquet floors and plenty of natural light. Once completed, the public will be treated to a café that will lead into a rice field-inspired garden, a first in the capital. By thinking of the users wellbeing, the architect has allowed the ample inclusion of natural light and ventilation throughout the build.

There will be editing studios, along with radio and recording booths. For added appeal, changing rooms, a training centre and the studios can be spilt to accommodate live audiences when needed. Overall, this project is thoroughly thought through and will be an eye-catching and noteworthy design.
