P U BLI S H E R ’S N O TE Inspiration - The Common Thread - The Key

Sam dHand

Publisher & Editor-in-Chief Dream Homes of Canada LUXURY LIVING LUXE MEDIA NETWORK

A few minutes ago, I watched an action video of a snow-boader as he went down a snow-capped peak - the amazing quality video, which captured every movement and stunt, was shot by a personal drone which was tracking the geotag on the boarder’s wrist. We’ve seen stuff like this in movies like Star Wars - a personal drone hovering along as you walk, perhaps carrying on a conversation. Did we truly believe it would happen within our lifetime? It is - here and now.

We are living through an extraordinary time, are we not?

There are things being done around the world that most of us thought unthinkable a few short decades ago. Advancements, innovations and creativity in areas like architecture, technology, medicine, philanthropy are everywhere to be found. Our imagination has never been so active and enthralled ever before.

What’s the common thread in all of this? Inspiration. It’s ordinary people doing extraordinary things - people who, through a deep sense of purpose, dedicate themselves to accomplishing incredible things.

This is a shot of Mud Bay, as I rode my hybrid bike along the edge. My photo above is a selfie takenfrom the same bike.

On a recent flight to Toronto I made a new friend who inspired me to take up cycling - something I’d been thinking about for quite some time.

Thank you, Tim Saxer. Hope you and your family are well.

The 5 hour flight was made shorter by the enjoyable conversations we had.

You don’t have to look far to find examples of such inspired individuals. Right here in Western Canada, there are plenty to be found, and you’ll find them in all areas of life. Across this page is a good example. The Lift The Children Foundation, which is dedicated to lifting the fate of under-privileged children, is supported by the tireless efforts and vision of individuals like John Volken, its founder, and Abdul Ladha. In the world of automobiles, Carlo Galasso of Ferrai Maserati is such an individual.

This magazine is dedicated as much to inpiring individuals as it is to those that are inspired by them. It’s a question of commitment to lofty ideals; to higher standards and principles; to quality and refinement; to purpose and the sheer joy of creating the finest of something.

My best regards to you and your loved ones.

Sam dHand sam@luxemedia.net

ABOUT US Lift The Children is a non-profit society dedicated to seeking out the world’s most destitute children and helping provide them with the necessities, training, and inspiration they need to develop, grow, and become self-sufficient.

We work in some of the poorest slums in the world to provide aid DIRECTLY to orphanages caring for their children. 100% of all donations go directly to the orphanages.

Lift the Children is inclusive of all faiths and cultures, and is committed to feeding and educating children and to LIFT them out of poverty. We are currently helping support over 10,000 children in more than 80 orphanages in East Africa and have begun to implement long term self-sustainability programs with a goal of educating the poor out of poverty.

Our strategy is to reorient the agriculture and farming systems currently in use towards methods of food production that are highly productive, sustainable, and drought resistant. Over time, these programs will help to provide mass poverty reduction through education.

Our goal is to educate over 2 million people in permaculture over the next 5 years.

Ferrari’s

SPECTACULAR

California T Arriving behind the wheel of a Ferrari always makes for a dramatic impression. But taking that purring beast out for your everyday mundane errand-running may not necessarily occur to you – until now.

Enter the Ferrari California T. Carrying on the elegant California Grand Tourer tradition, it’s a Ferrari that spearheads versatility – boasting some serious comfort for everyday use, as much as Ferrari’s

exhilarating performance.

A collaboration with Pininfarina, the 2015 California T stays close to its roots with traditional forms: lean and low, with a muscular rear and wings and flanks inspired by the

250 Testa Rossa. A larger grille and sleek bonnet set off the powerful lines, and a new triple-fence diffuser boosts aerodynamics.

The distinctive Ferrari feel continues into the cabin with

classic elements throughout – a clearly divided dash and tunnel, multi-functional wheel, and round air vents, all draped in handcrafted leather and sleek carbon fiber accents. Beyond the sophisticated infotainment and navigation system, a digital touch screen and surround at the dash provide a range of options for optimizing engine performance and efficiency, part of an intuitive instrument dubbed the Turbo Performance Engineer.

California T’s practicality: with a 3.9 L V8, 560 CV, and 755 Nm maximum torque, it hits 62 mph in 3.6 seconds while nevertheless reducing fuel consumption by 15% and increasing range by 20%. Variable Boost Management software adjusts torque delivery according to gear. Weight has been cut with several smart modifications including an allaluminum chassis and bodyshell and the retractable hard-top made with lightweight aluminum panels over structural castings.

An updated steering box improves wheel responsiveness, while new springs and faster dampers enhance handling precision and reduce roll and pitch. A lower engine position improves centre of gravity, and SCM3 magnetorheological suspensions boost the control factor even further for a remarkably smooth ride.

Ready for whatever daily life may bring, the 2015 Ferrari California T starts at $200,000.

by the intricate craft, and shortly a decision is made: Isaac begins learning the jewellery business and the couple invests their remaining $2,000 into their first stock of pearls.

The Levys’ combined talents don’t go unnoticed; three decades later, Yvel (mirror image of the Levy name) boasts a 50,000 square foot stateof-the-art facility with over 100 employees, numerous distinguished design awards under their belt, and a devoted global following – a far cry from the two-person operation they set out with.

You may think of the ideal pearl as a perfect sphere, but perfection, according to Isaac, is overrated.

Yvel’s specialty is the baroque pearl – one-of-a-kind gems in asymmetrical shapes that inspire Isaac’s designs.

“During one of our pearl farms visits, we watched how everyone was fighting to get their hands on the round pearls,” he remembers “but discarded in a corner was a basket of the ‘misshapen’ baroque pearls that were deemed worthless. I looked in the basket and saw myself in those ‘imperfect’ pearls, and that was the moment when I fell in love with baroque pearls.”

untreated multi-colored sapphires from Tanzania’s Umba River Valley; the Biwa Collection, presenting freshwater pearls harvested from Lake Biwa in Japan (Yvel is now the sole source of Biwa pearls in the world, having purchased the entire harvest when the lake’s pearl culture ceased due to contamination); and the brand-new Sunset Collection consisting of natural Keshi pearls, rare gems in shades of green and gold discovered by the Levys on a tucked-away Indonesian pearl farm.

“By augmenting the ‘imperfection’ of the baroque pearl, we have managed to create the perfect and most beautiful pearl jewelry”, says Isaac. “Today, jewelers that once worked exclusively with round pearls have started to use baroque pearls instead.”

Bentley

Presents the Exquisite New EXP 10 SPEED 6 Sportscar Concept Bentley Motors’ stunning new EXP 10 Speed 6 concept is a British interpretation of a high performance two seater sportscar using modern automotive design, highly skilled handcrafting, the finest materials and advanced performance technology.

32

From the racing success of the company’s early years to the international motorsport success of today, ‘speed’ is part of Bentley’s DNA. This inspiration is expressed throughout the EXP 10 Speed 6, where iconic Bentley design cues are fused with progressive craftsmanship techniques and modern technologies.

F

Copper elements are used as accents to both exterior and interior features to highlight the performance hybrid potential of the concept’s advanced new powertrain. Performance goals including top speed are set to challenge competitors and define a new segment benchmark.

The inspiration for the interior comes

from the continuous line that runs around the cabin, driving through the console and into two symmetrical wings before flowing into the door and looping back into the console armrest. Two elegant quilted sports seats are positioned either side of the narrow centre console which houses exquisite driver controls and a highly intuitive 12” touch screen. These features combine futuristic technology seamlessly with progressive Bentley craftsmanship.

The centre console integrates digital information with tactile controls via a curved touch screen housed in an aluminium frame. The fascia instruments deploy from a flat position into the drivers view as

the car is started using the floating “B” button integrated in to a nonsymmetrical gear lever finished in aluminium, copper and cherry wood.

A mechanical rev counter and digital display combine to provide the perfect balance of modern driver information and analogue beauty.

The exterior design of EXP 10 Speed 6 is an expression of muscular, athletic surfaces inspired by the aerodynamic shapes of aircraft fuselages and wings. The ethos of the design was to develop contemporary interpretations of Bentley styling cues, which have been brought together with beauty and precision. The result is a coupe of clean, modern surfaces whilst remaining unmistakably Bentley.

When the wild, untamed splendour of nature encounters exquisite contemporary design, the result is a type of pure unadulterated luxury that is superbly rare. This exceptional majesty can be found at Nettleton 199, an intensely opulent residence located on the side of the Lion’s head mountain, overlooking one of Cape Town’s most exclusive suburbs, Clifton.

The east-facing side of the home reveals equally powerful environmental elements, with a dazzling garden courtyard creating a green living space amid views of the mountain landscape.

Created in 2011 by the award-winning architectural team SAOTA, Nettleton 199 is a contemporary concrete residence with impressive cantilevers that ebbs and flows with a balance of breathtaking natural elements and modern features. The multi-level home

Inside the home, SAOTA has created an interior landscape rich in luxury details and bold architectural styling.

living spaces. The bedroom floor is artfully designed to create a sense of distinct luxury as well; the bedroom floor is hung from the roof to create the feeling of a magnificent floating space.

Throughout the interior, the focus flits between views of the surrounding world and simultaneously minimalist and sumptuous spaces with rich wood panelling, glass, and plenty of crisp white spaces. The abundance of angular windows throughout Nettleton 199 that reveal its dramatic views also allow natural light to become an architectural element in itself—turning the outdoor splendour into a tangible part of the home.

It was Galasso’s teenage dream of excitement and luxury—of Ferrari— however, which ultimately led him to his work as Dealer Principal at Ferrari Maserati of Alberta. We caught up with Galasso for a glimpse at what drives him.

What does being a part of the Ferrari brand mean to you?

The name “Ferrari” excites people, it does; I see that and I never lose sight of that. Who doesn’t love a Ferrari, right? My dream from when I was 15 years old was to own a Ferrari. That dream came true when I was 32, and

44

from there I started getting more involved in the automotive side of life.

And here I am today: now I represent these brands.

Your success with Ferrari is clear— aside from the business side of things, what excites you about your work?

I like motivating people. I’ve mentored a lot of people throughout my life. I like to see people get ahead.

The coolest thing is to watch young kids come into the store and just get completely mesmerized. Often times I’ll set up contests with kids—

like if they can increase their grades, I’ll work with the parents and give them rides, and if they’re old enough sometimes even drive the car. It’s a motivator for a lot of kids.

I also just love to create. I’ve been part of a lot of patents and interesting work, and I think my greatest skill set is my imagination—my ability to think outside the box. I love to be creative.

When I was working on the Car Bras, one of my greatest inspirations was Jean Paul Gaultier—I wanted to do haute couture.

When you leave the office, what are your passions?

My greatest passion in my life is my son. I love spending time with him. In my mind, he will be the greatest legacy that I leave behind. I’m also very dedicated to my health and well-being: I love to exercise and train with my trainer, and I love badminton, table tennis, racquet sports.

afford these cars, and I think they feel that they don’t deserve to walk through the doors, and that bothers me. I welcome everybody into the store. We’re a very open, very welcoming place.

What do you want people to know about you?

I want everybody in the world to know that the store is not about keeping people out: it’s about letting people in. The greatest tragedy is that the bulk of people cannot

LUXURY SUPERCARS

THE SPECTACULAR

Ferrari 458 SPECIALE

58

Ferrari and speed are practically synonymous, but every so often even a known envelope-pusher can surprise – in this case, unleashing a machine that takes Ferrari’s racing spirit to a whole new dimension.

Based on the 485 Italia, the Ferrari 485 Speciale zooms remarkably ahead of its predecessor – faster, mightier, and more agile. Exterior updates are easy to spot: a large radiator vent at the hood, exaggerated rear spoiler, and new composite bumpers. Classic white and blue racing stripes boldly announce the car’s track-focused nature – but the real magic is less obvious.

F

Speciale’s jump in performance is partly due to an emphasis on aerodynamics.

Downforce is upped with turning vanes flanking the front bumper, aerodynamic fins, and an

extra-tall rear diffuser. Two split exhausts replace the Italia’s three pipes, while rear flaps raise and lower electronically to prioritize downforce or reduce drag as needed.

Of course no nifty design tricks can take the part of a truly incredible powertrain, and the Speciale has that covered: a 4.5 liter V8, Ferrari’s most powerful to date, pumps out an astounding 597 hp at 9000 rpm, with a world-record-breaking 133 hp per liter specific output. With 35 more hp than the Italia, and weighing in at 200 lbs lighter, the Speciale hits 0-62 mph in a mind-boggling 3 seconds flat.

A sophisticated array of electronics and software ensures that the supercar is as secure as it is powerful. In a Ferrari first, the Speciale is outfitted with side-slip control, an algorithm

that reads the car’s slip angle in real time to determine whether more agility or stability is required, and adjusts accordingly.

With the aim of eliminating any nonnecessary weight, carbon fiber wraps the interior and seats, trimmed in lightweight Alcantara. In distinctive racing style the

cabin is sleek and pared-down, with nothing but the essentials to weigh the machine down.

Reflecting its status as the most impressive 485 yet, the Ferrari Speciale starts at $298,000.

LUXURY YACHTS & CHARTERS

Heesen’s Spectacular _ SIBELLE SUPERYACHT _ A fully custom vessel, created to the owner’s exacting specifications and christened the M/Y Sibelle

60

The interplay between a yacht and its owner is an eloquent one, a delicate balance formed in the solitude of open waters. And it was in recognizing that one-of-a-kind experience that a seasoned yachting pro has turned to Heesen Yachts with a very particular vision: a fully custom vessel, created to the owner’s exacting specifications and christened the M/Y Sibelle.

T

Since its shipyard beginnings in Oss in 1978, Heesen has earned a reputation

reduction in roll angle at anchor. The design of the hull, the appendages and the propulsion arrangement have been focused on obtaining the best fuel efficiency possible, without sacrificing performance and comfort when running in waves.”

‘Complex simplicity’ was the direction behind the design philosophy, with the architects emphasizing clean, simple lines and sleek contemporary finishes. Contrasting bands of glass

for its solid technological prowess, and the M/Y Sibelle, as efficient as it is elegant, is a remarkable example of the builder’s impeccable craftsmanship tinged with modern luxury. Conceiving the 50 meter beauty was a collaborative effort among Heesen, Frank Laupman from Omega Architects, and Mikhail Labazov and Andrei Savin from Architectural Bureau A-B Studio, with the owner keeping closely involved throughout the process.

A focal request was the dramatic

span the yacht’s exterior, with a clever optical illusion making the lines appear parallel to each other even where they are not. The horizontal pattern continues into the interior, where it plays into the inviting warmth of understated bleached teak wood panelling set off by plenty of airy open space.

Five roomy cabins accommodate up to ten guests; four guest cabins sit on the lower deck, with the master suite

plumb bow allowing for maximum control and effective coursekeeping, particularly under high wave conditions. Weighing in at under 500 gross tonnes and boasting an aluminum hull and superstructure, the vessel hits a maximum speed of 18.5 knots, efficiently using only two 1,000kW MTUs for easy long-distance cruising. “The modest propeller tunnel design allows for 1.5 metre diameter propellers”, comments naval architect Perry van Oossanen.”The hull is fitted with Quantum XT zero-speed fins, and bilge keels, offering a maximum

forward on main deck, featuring 61 square meters of relaxation space, his-and-hers dressing rooms, and two private ensuites. Out on the decks, 237 square meters of outdoor living space means plenty of room for entertaining, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the breeze, while the aft lower deck offers an expansive beach club and wellness spa area, complete with a sauna and easily accessible from the main saloon.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

Spyker B6

Venator Concept

78

2013 marked the global resurgence of Spyker as a creator of meticulously built automobiles. The brand’s revival is heralded by the introduction of the Spyker B6 Venator Concept, a unique alternative in the High Luxury Sports sector.

The B6 Venator is a compact, 2-door mid-engine sports car that offers the discerning driver of the highest standards a new choice, delivering a rare combination of heritage, design, performance and exclusivity.

T

Designed by Victor R. Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Spyker, the B6 Venator makes a defiantly contemporary statement whilst paying homage to its past, making it instantly recognizable as a Spyker. Highly detailed design, bespoke materials and aviation-inspired elements are a core part of the Spyker DNA. With the announcement

of the B6 Venator, the company once again proves its Latin axiom: “Nulla tenaci invia est via” – “For the tenacious no road is impassable.” The name “Venator” is Latin as well, meaning “Hunter” – a nod back to Spyker’s “Hunter” fighter aircraft of the early 20th century.

Exterior highlights include the trademark radiator grille’s mesh is V-shaped, referencing Spyker models of the previous century. The 1903 Spyker logo harkens back to an era when Spyker built racers such as the amazing 60HP. The new headlights, equipped with LED light rails, give the car

an aggressive stance. The aerodynamically shaped glass aircraft canopy extends rearwards to minimize drag, optimizing performance. The 3D LED rear lights are akin to the iris-type after burners of a jet engine from a modern fighter aircraft. The brake light has been sculpted into the rear panel design to ensure smooth, flowing design lines.

the dashboard that lights up as part of the ‘pre-flight check.’ The dashboard is shown with a turned aluminium fascia, similar to those seen on Spykers of the 1920s.

Pressing the engine start button brings to life a powerful V6 engine that delivers 375+ bhp. The trademark exposed gear change mechanism was inspired by early aircraft controls from Spyker’s aviation heritage.

The nterior surroundings are crafted from the finest materials are unusually open and airy for a sports car, the light and glass akin to an aeroplane cockpit. The leather is sourced from the Litano range produced by the Royal Hulshof Dutch Tanneries in Lichtenvoorde. Hulshof uses only West European first choice bull hides and a special tanning process that produces the beautifully rich colour palette. The red cover on the ignition switch evokes the spirit of starting an aeroplane, as does

The introduction of the B6 Venator Concept marks the beginning of a new era for the brand, one that will include a significant increase in production led by a management team that has never been stronger. Since the brand’s rebirth in 2000, the company has lived its motto – “for the tenacious no road is impassable” – making bold moves to ensure that Spyker will continue to be a viable, no-compromise brand.

steakhouse.

Calling itself an urban-rustic roast house, CHARCUT Roast House spotlights a local twist on hearty meat-and-potatoes fare with Italian and Country French accents. And who better to serve up the dynamic mix than the visionaries behind CHARCUT Roast House concept, chefs and owners John Jackson and Connie DeSousa – both raised in the prairies, trained at world-class establishments, and with an impressive restaurant portfolio under their belts, including the award-winning Mobil 5-Star St Regis in San Francisco.

“Food was really a large part of our lives growing up”, say John and Connie, reminiscing about John’s mother’s comforting onepot-wonders and Connie’s Irish-Canadian and Portuguese heritage. “She would have amazing lamb stews and soda bread one night, then a seafood dish with fermented red-pepper sauce the next.”

With such a legacy (Connie’s dad still makes his famous sauce at the restaurant), it is no wonder that CHARCUT Roast House chefdriven menu combines all the elements of a fantastic family supper: comforting, scratchmade, and showcasing beautifully simple ingredients. John and Connie scout local farms and artisan ranches for the freshest picks to transform on the grills and Rotisserie: succulent Berkshire pork, slow-roasted and accompanied by crispy fried onions and homemade pickles; spit-roasted heritage chicken on a bed of arugula and duck bacon salad; smoky Prime Rib, house butchered and dry-aged. In the dining room, under Masonjar chandeliers, a charcuterie bar displays a carnivore’s fantasy of handcrafted meats – heritage pork kielbasa, shaved lamb ham, and pig head mortadella are but a start. Rounding off the plates are herbs harvested daily from the chefs garden. CHARCUT Roast House is located in downtown’s Hotel Le Germain.

While their mission to spark Calgary’s food scene with inspired local cuisine is undisputedly a success, John and Connie say it’s just part of their bigger goal to make the city a better place to eat. The talented duo works with chef communities and civic organizations to plan events and advocate for community through food. And in the meantime, there’s nothing quite like a plate of beautifully charred meat to get the collaborative spirits going.
