PUBLISHER’S NOTE

The start of the fall season is one of my personal favourite times of the year. I come from a place where fall took a grand total of one week. The leaves would start to fall, and by the end of the week, it would all be over. But, here in Vancouver, fall happens gradually. From the first hint of yellow in the leaves, starting in September, we’re indulged with a full spectrum of blazing and beautiful autumn colours that enthrall our senses. And what I love most is that it happens slowly over a two month period giving you ample time to fully enjoy the splendour of fall!

Speaking of being enthralled by spectacular beauty, we’ve got a fantastic line-up of luxurious lifestyle & stunning real estate content for you. The premium property collections presented within these pages offer spectacular and lavish opportunities for the most discerning of home buyers to make their own private dream residence.

Enjoy!

memorable DINING fairmont defines a new culinary benchmark for green dining

Going local is so 2009. Upping the ante when it comes to sustainable food sourcing is Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, which has broadened the “go local” mantra by adopting local goats and chickens, allowed diners to catch their own dinner and gone out of its way to create homemade tofu. Long an advocate of green, fresh and healthy cuisine, the brand’s properties were some of the first to add onsite herb gardens and honeybee apiaries, and have pioneered myriad innovative projects that have brought farm and fork closer than ever. Across the portfolio, Fairmont’s Green Cuisine program includes initiatives that cater to specific local and regional needs. In Quebec City, Executive Chef Jean Soulard of Fairmont Le Château Frontenac recently added five hens, who are the newest neighbors of the hotel’s resident honey bees. Chantecler hens, the only 100 percent Québec breed, have been carefully selected by Chef Soulard and have been placed in a coop

equipped with a copper roof that matches the architecture of the hotel. Fed only organic grains, each hen produces about one egg per day with the collected eggs served up to guests dining within the hotel. Fairmont Newport Beach in California is constantly in pursuit of the best local produce, and the recent adoption of seven goats is the hotel’s latest culinary initiative. In collaboration with Drake Farms Goat Dairy, where the female goats reside, the animals are cared for by dedicated farmers and staff and receive regular visits from the hotel’s Executive Chef. The farm uses the goats’ milk to produce organic and sustainable goat cheese, which the chef picks up and brings back to use in dishes for the restaurant and lounge as well for in-room guest amenities. Fairmont Newport Beach follows in the footsteps of Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth in Montreal, which adopted two goats, affectionately named Blanche Neige (Snow White), in 2010. While living at the local Fromagerie du

Vieux St-François, the goats produce cheese for the menu at The Beaver Club, as well as for sale at the Fairmont Store. At Fairmont Pittsburgh, Executive Chef Andrew Morrison of Habitat restaurant not only offers eggs from local heritage chickens, but has a side of grass-fed beef from Burns Angus Farm delivered each week so the culinary team can specially prepare every cut to their liking. The team butchers their own steaks, roasts and ground beef, utilizing every piece of the meat down to the bones, which are used to make stock. The hotel’s signature house-made soap is made using the leftover tallow (rendered beef fat) along with coconut oil, lye and natural scents. Many of the brand’s properties, from China to Washington, D.C., have added honeybees to their onsite herb gardens or partnered with local parks and organizations to source local honey for cocktails and menu items. Fairmont Yangcheng Lake in Kunshan, China has developed 200 acres as a private, organic herb and vegetable garden along the resort’s namesake lake, and has recently added 10 beehives housing 2,500 honeybees, which produce around 40 kg of honey in spring. In Seattle, The Fairmont Olympic Hotel plans to install five rwooftop hives, while in nearby Victoria, The Fairmont Empress has installed 10 hives in the hotel’s Centennial Garden. With close to 20 active Fairmont bee programs in place around the world, new hives have also recently been installed at The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Fairmont Southampton in Bermuda, Calgary’s Fairmont Palliser and Fairmont Newport Beach in California. Toronto’s Fairmont Royal York has cultivated rooftop beehives for a number of years, and has recently partnered with nearby Mill Street Brewery to create a unique honey beer, called “Royal Stinger”. To make the beer, brewers add the roof top honey at the end of the aging process, immediately before sealing it in kegs for distribution. But, Fairmont chefs are taking advantage of more than just local honey - in Vancouver, chefs at Fairmont Pacific Rim go the extra mile to make their very own tofu. Homemade tofu allows the guests to taste the nuances and flavor profile of the soy bean, and is used in a dish with braised daikon, gai lan and shiitake mushrooms. Some Fairmont properties have even taken their search for hyperlocal cuisine under the sea, such as Fairmont Battery Wharf, which offers access to the only lobster boat tour in Boston. Guests can arrange a private excursion with a Fairmont Chef aboard an authentic down-east style lobster boat to learn firsthand how to bait, drop, and haul in lobster traps. After a day at sea, guests return with their catch and stop in at the hotel’s restaurant, Aragosta, where the Chef will prepare the lobster to their liking.

In Toronto, The Fairmont Royal York’s EPIC Restaurant has recently introduced the new Thisfish lobster tagging program, which involves tagging and tracing lobster from ocean to plate. When fishermen land their catch, they tag individual fish or entire fish lots with a distinctive code. Information about the fish - who caught it, where, when, and how - is linked to the code and uploaded to http://www.thisfish. info/, where diners can retrieve details about how their lobster was handled and processed through the supply chain.

GET JET, GO! jaguar’s new turbine powered cx75 is no longer just a concept

Jaguar’s showstopping C-X75 concept supercar first made its appearance to wowed audiences at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, with its dramatic exterior fronting revolutionary new technology. In a futuristic endeavour, the British automaker unveiled a first-of-itskind jet powered hybrid, propelled by two micro-gas turbines that would power four electric motors, one at each wheel, to generate an astounding 780 hp. A year later, the impressive debut was finally followed with muchawaited news from Jaguar: Project C-X75 will be making the jump from concept to production – albeit with some modifications, including replacing the micro-turbines, still in development phase, with a high-boosted combustion engine. Nevertheless, the supercar

remains a study in state-of-the-art engineering, taking the original jet-inspired performance concept on the road.

To harness the best of elite motorsport engineering, Jaguar is enlisting the collaboration of Williams F1 who will be bringing advanced expertise in areas such as aerodynamics and carbon composite manufacture. The supercar’s unparalleled performance – surpassing the fastest production cars on the market – will begin with the carbon-fibre body for optimal lightness and rigidity, retaining the original striking shape showcased in the concept. From there, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, designed to withstand rigorous Formula 1 testing, will deliver a 0-60 mph time of under 3

seconds and top speed of over 200 mph, with an underbody system featuring moveable aerofoil and directional control of exhaust gases for maximum downforce and ultra-low drag. No less significant, however, are the hybrid’s novel features allowing for an all-new level of efficiency and incredibly low CO2 emissions – under 99g/km. Paving the road to a cleaner, more sustainable future, Project C-X75 will utilize an innovative battery Kinetic Energy Regeneration System (KERS), originally developed for Formula 1. With silent electric running and an extended range of over 50km, Jaguar’s bold new brainchild is a true pioneer of the hybrid’s foray onto supercar ground.

ROLLS-ROYCE

SERIES ii PHANTOM COUPé inspired by the j-class racing yachts of the 1930s

While the Rolls-Royce is renowned for its legendary position at the pinnacle of automotive luxury, it may not immediately conjure the qualities inspiring the strikingly modern Phantom series: freedom, creativity, and an easy, sociable sensibility. Yet the brand’s relaxed, informal side is beautifully expressed in the 2012 Phantom Drophead Coupe. Inspired by the J-class racing yachts of the 1930s, the Drophead Coupe offers a uniquely companionable design and intimate setting epitomising the romance of the open road. “We wanted to create a car that is a shared experience,” explains Charles Coldham, Chief Stylist Interior Design. “The occupants are surrounded by the finest natural materials, evoking the experience of being on board a yacht.” The Phantom’s timeless yet contemporary look speaks to its progressive character while maintaining the brand’s instantly recognisable characteristics. Innovative elements feature Adaptive LED Headlamps, optional brushed steel bonnet, and signature hood made from five layers of material including cashmere. Behind elegant coach doors, harmonious comfort prevails. Seating showcases a modern three-flute design with hand-stitched leatherwork; the rear lounge seat is shaped to turn passengers towards each other encouraging easy socializing. A versatile boot

offering space for a hamper and picnic seat invites unbarred enjoyment of the great outdoors. Under the hood, the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular engineering ensures an effortless yet commanding drive. Noteworthy features include a rigid aluminum spaceframe, V12 engine, advanced air suspension system and 8-speed gearbox. Camera systems provide 360 degree views of the road, while a redesigned Rotary controller allows for complete fingertip control.

For ultimate indulgence, the Bespoke program offers ability to customize your automobile down to the smallest detail. Buyers can choose a favourite paint color mixed from a swatch, and select from 12 different wheels, with five designs and up to three finishes. For even more recreational possibilities, optional additions include a hand-made teak deck inspired by racing yachts; a teak picnic hamper; and a refrigerator hidden in the luggage compartment, along with a glass holder containing hand-engraved glasses designed by the Rolls-Royce team. For social occasions, sporting events or simply the thrill of the open road, Rolls once again delivers an ultimate motoring experience like no other.

executive indulgence bentley’s exquisite ‘executive interior’ for the mulsanne

In an ultra-wired world, nothing is more important than staying connected – no matter where you are. Now, an all-new interior concept from British luxury automaker Bentley Motors will enable customers to stay in touch on the go – whether at work or at play. Debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Executive Interior Concept for Bentley’s flagship Mulsanne will introduce two specification options, “Theatre” and “iPad”, to meet their clients’ diverse needs. Aimed at those seeking on-the-road entertainment, the Theatre specification offers a cabin outfitted with LED lighting, and showcases a centrally-mounted, high-definition 15.6 inch LED screen, and two eight inch screens mounted in the front headrests and equipped with Bluetoothlinked headphones, allowing each occupant to enjoy their selection of movies, TV, or music. A trunk-mounted Apple computer with dual USB ports enables uploading of media or documents, while an integrated iPod Touch serves the control function through a pre-installed Bentley app. Completing the indulgent experience, the interior includes a bottle chiller and crystal champagne flutes for a truly pampered ride. The iPad specification caters to the business-oriented customer, and features two iPads with wireless keyboards embedded into electrically-deployed picnic trays in the front seatbacks. Rear passengers enjoy complete iPad functionality, including work, Internet, or conferencing capabilities. Both specifications also allow full integration with users’ own mobile devices.

In keeping with Bentley’s tradition of bespoke sophistication, each interior is customizable with a range of personalized options – a Tibaldi fountain pen or yachting-inspired veneer, to name a few. Staying on top of your day has never been so easy – or so luxurious.

HAWKER! commemorating 50 years at the forefront of aviation evolution

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation announced that this year marks the 50th anniversary of its Hawker 125 midsize business jet series. The Hawker 125 – one of the world’s first business jets – completed its maiden flight on Aug. 13, 1962, in the form of the Hawker Siddeley DH125 Jet Dragon and the first delivery took place nearly two years later on Sept. 10, 1964. Almost 1,700 Hawker 125-series aircraft have been produced throughout the last 50 years. “The Hawker 125 series is one of the most iconic business aircraft in the industry and we are proud to be celebrating such a momentous milestone in the program’s history,” said Ron Gunnarson, vice president, Hawker Marketing. “Its unique design allows for travelers to fly with absolute freedom, negating the need presented by some aircraft to sacrifice fuel, number of passengers or baggage when embarking on a flight. This, coupled with the 125 series’ renowned range, speed and comfort, makes

it easy to see why the series has enjoyed so much success for five decades.” Today, the series is represented in the company’s lineup as the Hawker 900XP which boasts technology enhancements that include new fuelefficient engines, advanced aerodynamic composite winglets, digital cabin pressurization, auto-throttles, synthetic vision, enhanced vision, LED lighting, satellite weather and communications, and wireless cabin entertainment options. These advanced systems seamlessly integrate with a strong airframe with an excellent reputation. The Hawker 900XP offers superb cabin comfort, increased performance, range and efficiency at an tremendous value.

“Due to these features, it’s no wonder the 900XP continues to lead the midsize jet market,” Gunnarson said. “In 2011, the Hawker 900XP captured

34 percent of worldwide sales, more than any other aircraft in the segment.” The company will hold a series of special flights and activities to mark this milestone occasion, including a gala reception on Aug. 13 at the London Science Museum in Kensington. Hawker Beechcraft is a world-leading manufacturer of business, special mission, light attack and trainer aircraft – designing, marketing and supporting aviation products and services for businesses, governments and individuals worldwide. The company’s headquarters and major facilities are located in Wichita, Kan., with operations in Little Rock, Ark.; Chester, England, U.K.; and Chihuahua, Mexico. The company leads the industry with a global network of more than 100 factory-owned and authorized service centers.For more information, visit www.hawkerbeechcraft.com.

When the crystal access door and the hard top are open, the cockpit and the saloon become a single, airy and extremely lightfilled space (about 38 m2). The dining area, immediately to the left of the entrance, and consisting of a table and chairs for 8 people, is serviced by the galley, at the stern section of the lower deck, with a dedicated gangway. The saloon flooring laid with wengĂŠ wood and carpet inserts create a fresh, light and modern space. The galley, which is located in the crew quarters, is spacious and well-equipped allowing a chef and sous-chef to cook

conveniently at the highest professional standards. The lounge area is on the left-hand side and accommodates two different adjacent socialising areas, furnished with four small two-seater sofas, a coffee table that doubles up as a dining table and a comfortable pouf. Full-beam owner suite located at the centre of the boat. The light coming in through the window illuminates an expansive and airy space. The bed takes centre stage and is further enhanced by a headboard adorned with brown leather squares. The cabin entrance is concealed by a mirror that gives further depth. This multiplies the effect of indirect light, creating an atmosphere of total relaxation. VIP cabin, in the bow section - bed with large storage base is located at the centre of the room. Natural light is guaranteed through the 4 side opening portholes for extra fresh air. Lockers, drawers and the storage bases of the beds allow you to store all you need to have a pleasurable experience aboard. The bathroom is large and equipped with a shower compartment embellished with marble. Water jet propulsion: easy driving and handling thanks to Hamilton Jet and dynamic intruders. Speeds of up to 42 knot bring sheer joy to boat owners who love excitement, sports, and high speeds.

HAUTE HORLOGERIE blancpain celebrates ‘year of the dragon’ with an elegant new watch

Blancpain presents a world-exclusive version of the first wristwatch equipped with a traditional Chinese calendar. The Manufacture in Le Brassus thereby wishes to honour this age-old culture of which the modern-day representatives show a keen interest in haute horlogerie, by introducing a useful yet symbolic model that is destined to take its rightful place among the ranks of the finest horological achievements. The Traditional Chinese Calendar watch by Blancpain is based on fundamental principles established for millennia and profoundly rooted in Chinese tradition. On its fascinating dial, the hours, minutes and the Gregorian calendar rub shoulders with the main indications of the Chinese calendar: traditional double-hour indication, day, month with indication of leap months, signs of the zodiac, as well as the five elements and the 10 celestial stems. The combination of the latter with the 12 animals of the zodiac that represent the terrestrial branches follows the sixty-year cycle that is central to Chinese culture. The moon phases, a key element in Blancpain complete calendars, are also presented and play a particularly important role in this model, given the link between the lunar cycle and traditional Chinese months.

Contrary to the Gregorian solar calendar which uses the solar day as the base unit, the traditional Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, meaning a solar calendar with the lunar cycle (29.53059 days) as its base unit. Since a year comprising 12

lunar months (354.36707 days) is approximately 11 days too short compared with the tropical or solar year (365.242374 days), a leap month is sometimes added to preserve the match with the cycle of the seasons. Given that each month of the Chinese calendar, including the leap months, begins on the day of the new moon, its length is either 29 or 30 days. This means that when a year comprises a leap month, this 13-month year will be longer than the tropical year. On the contrary, when there is no leap month, the year of 12 lunar months is shorter than the tropical year. This distinctive feature is the reason behind the variable date of the Chinese New Year. The new self-winding Calibre 3638 powering this watch is endowed with a 7-day power reserve, despite the presence of 434 parts including 39 jewels. Its complexity stems as much from the number of indications to be displayed as from the irregular nature of their cycles. The hours, minutes and the Gregorian calendar are presented in the centre. The counter at 12 o’clock indicates the double-hour numerals and symbols (24-hour cycle); while the one at 3 o’clock shows the elements and the celestial stems (10-year cycle). The month of the Chinese calendar (12-month cycle), its date (30-day cycle) and the leap month indicator appear at 9 o’clock, while a 12 o’clock aperture reveals the zodiac sign of the year in progress (12-year cycle); and the moon phases are displayed at 6 o’clock.

rare & elegant beauty the haunting beauty of the wiesmann gt mf4 roadster

From the country that re-invented the Mini as a baby BMW comes this BMW-based cod-classic that emulates an entire ensemble of British sports car icons. The Wiesmann Roadster, lovingly crafted by brothers, Martin and Friedheim Wiesmann, has been in production for over 15 years. Seemingly a cross between the Jag XK, an E-Type, an Austin Healey 3000 and a Morgan Aeroma, the Wiesmann is a rather beautiful coupe with rare elegance and grace in design. The brothers have displayed admirable dexterity when they this â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s-inspired roadster using modern BMW running gear. Qualifying as something of a classic itself, the Wiesmann is unlikely to become a household name any time soon, though enthusiasts who fancy the image of a classic sports car without the hassles or the antiquated driving experience have never had it so cushy. Key to this is the notion of exclusivity and the luxury of a bespoke specification. With a range of handmade leather interiors with conspicuously stitched, padded, quilted and distressed finishes, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much sit in the Wiesmann as wear it.

GUCCI BAMBOO from necessity emerges a unique and elegant jewellery line

A prime example of how necessity fosters invention, the Bamboo range was first introduced in the 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as an innovative solution to a lack of raw materials during World War II. Bamboo went on to become one of the most distinctive Gucci icons to the extent that, as of 1971, the Bamboo stem shape was reproduced in a bracelet, available in silver and enamel or 18 karat gold. This form proved to be a surprisingly modern and timeless element, which has been reinterpreted by successive Gucci designers in line with customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contemporary tastes. Today, Frida Giannini has successfully interpreted the beautiful contours of the Bamboo plant across the Gucci Fine Jewelry line. From rings, earrings to bracelets, cufflinks and necklaces, the Bamboo icon is created in 18kt gold and can be decorated with white or brown diamonds. The 2010 new Fine Jewelry Collection includes an innovative Bamboo spring line which combines exceptional design with technical expertise new to Gucci.

existing 4,400 square-foot home has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, plenty of natural light, stunning views and several outdoor seating areas. The home itself requires some attention, but the real value is the breathtaking property itself. Rarely is an acre of such premium real estate available to mold and shape to your desires. The land is comprised of two south facing

legal waterfront lots with close to 200 feet of private shoreline . Set right at the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge is a separate 465 square-foot cottage and large swimming pool, a perfect place to enjoy fresh ocean breezes and watch the pleasure boats go by. This ideal setup is perfect for guests or a private hideaway from the rest of the home. Imagine sweeping views of sea, sun and sky, fresh ocean air, unobstructed sunsets and unlimited freedom to create your private oasis. The real beauty of this property is in the number of options it offers you. You can either build one grand estate on what is one of the most impressive parcels in all of Greater Vancouver, or

build separate waterfront homes on both lots, or build on one and hold the other lot as an investment. With expansive views from Bowen Island to Point Grey, this property is bathed in sunshine from sunrise to sunset all year round. Immersed in nature and only 20 minutes away from either downtown Vancouver or wild and rugged Cypress Mountain, where you can ski down your choice of 53 runs, explore the backwoods on snowshoe or cross country skis, or hike to the top during the summer for jaw dropping views of Vancouver and beyond, life here presents you many exciting options. If ground level is more your style, the opportunity to explore 185 acres of virgin rainforest and

beaches at the famous Lighthouse Park is just a few minutes away,. Carved into the natural rocky ocean-front landscape, this rare plot of land is perfect for someone with distinctive taste and uncompromising approach to the ultimate home of their dreams. It is the ideal location for

building a private oasis away from the buzz of the city, yet close enough to satisfy any of your urban needs. Offered at $10,800,000

text :: Adryn Sumner When planning a Hawaiian holiday, many enjoy the delightful deliberation over which tropical island paradise to visit. Recently listed as one of the top three destinations in the country, Maui frequently wins the contest no doubt in great part due to the remarkably diverse terrain and offerings throughout which give the impression that one is enjoying a multi-island adventure.

Wailea, with its palatial hotels and perfectly manicured gardens is positioned on the desert side of Maui where temperatures are considerably warmer than Kapalua, the oldest part of Maui where clouds and rain make more frequent visits. Ka’anapali encompasses the best of both with warm, sunny skies tempered by cooling tradewinds, long stretches of pristine beaches and abundant natural flora and many “old Maui” favorites

such as Whaler’s Village where local artisans have showcased their creations for generations. Nestled amidst Ka’anapali’s distinctive relaxed elegance is Honua Kai Resort & Spa, the first full-ownership resort development allowed on Ka’anapali Beach in 25 years. The 628-unit luxury property boasts extraordinary panoramic views from its prime location directly on approximately 38 acres of the West Maui shoreline on world -famous Ka’anapali Beach. Honua Kai is celebrated for its convenient proximity to adventurous tropical aquatic and land activities, as well as its fresh island dining options at either the resort’s signature beachside restaurant, Duke’s Beach House or the trendy Aina Gourmet Market which offers all organic items grown in local farms within 100 miles of the resort.

Spacious studio, one, two and three bedroom homes are priced from the low $500,000’s to $3,813,900 and reflect a contemporary open floor plan with ocean and/or mountain views, ranging from 580 to over 2,715 square feet - some with lanais as large as 3,200 square feet. All three-bedroom residences are equipped with upgraded gas ranges, Viking kitchens and wine refrigerators and direct oceanfront residences have fully equipped Viking outdoor kitchens on the lanai while some also include private BBQ’s. Each home comes equipped with custom NanaWall® System Trifold Accordion Doors and glass-railed lanais (except for 1st and some 2nd floor homes) to fully showcase the stunning views and further enhance the indoor/outdoor

island living experience. Full gourmet kitchens with Bosch and/or Viking appliances as well as stone entryways, granite countertops, fine linen and bath products and beautiful wood cabinetry round out the carefully-considered luxe appointments. Ideal for couples and families alike, Honua Kai is also a high-end resort and home owners enjoy the benefits of onsite luxury resort amenities including three outdoor heated pools (including one quiet pool), five hot tubs, boogie boarding, snorkeling, stand-up paddling

and a state of the art fitness center. The friendly and knowledgeable concierge is happy to arrange myriad island activities such as championship golf, zip lining trips, fishing and sailing tours, biking inside volcanoes – almost anything on the list for a tropical adventurer. A luxury spa is anticipated to open early 2013 with plans to offer therapeutic body treatments that combine the cultural attributes of the island’s unique healing traditions with the very latest advances in wellness. Honua Kai Resort & Spa endeavors to anticipate every need and for those who wish to experience the property first, they offer a “Stay and Play” vacation package – guests who visit and decide to buy their piece of Maui paradise receive their stay with the compliments of Honua Kai.
