HARMONY

& Refinement

Unique in the history of watchmaking and symbolic of Breguet’s own origins, the emblematic Tradition 7027 design returns in a two-color version. Its now-celebrated caliber 507DR displays the entire movement, built on either side of the mainplate though mostly on the front of the plate. Its pink gold case holds an anthracite grey movement that emphasizes its bridges and bars, in particular the escapement’s, fitted with its celebrated old-style “pare-chute” in hand-beveled steel. The movement proper has received a grey anthracite surface treatment, basically an improved electroplating technique, employing an alloy of precious metals of the platinum family darker in hue than the ruthenium traditionally favored by watchmakers.

The visual contrasts between the anthracite movement and the pink gold case add to the watch’s crisp contemporary good looks with a revolutionary touch or two, not least the time of day displayed on a lustrous black dial off-centered at 12 o’clock.

The Tradition 7027 is also available in pink gold with pink gold mainplate, bridges and bars or in a white gold case fitted with the new anthracite movement.

Good Karma

The Fisker Karma is a plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan.

The Karma is powered by Quantum Technologies’ Q-Drive technology, an innovative petrol engine/electric motor combination; Q-Drive is a series hybrid system meaning that the engine is mated with a generator to provide an electrical connection to the motors and also recharge the batteries and as such the electric motors are the only mechanical driving force connected to the wheels.

As a factory option the Karma can be fitted with a solar paneled roof not only to aid in the recharging of its LithiumIon batteries but also to aid the cabin climate control system.

The solar roof is capable of generating a half kilowatt-hour a day and is estimated to provide up to 6.4–8.0 km of additional range a week assuming continuously sunny days.

Additionally, the car offers a set of solar panels for the garage/ house which may charge the Karma entirely ‘off the grid’.

Although Fisker Automotive has yet to release solid statistics regarding Karma’s fuel economy, the company estimates the average driver will only have to refill the fuel tank annually provided they do not drive more than 80 km a day. Fisker Automotive has also suggested that when in ‘sport-hybrid’ mode the Karma will be capable of 2.4 l/100 km of fuel consumed for a range of 480 km. Despite its eco-friendly background the Karma features a 201 km/h top speed and is capable of reaching 97 km/h from a standstill in 5.8 seconds.

The Karma’s two 201 brake horsepower (204 PS) motors produce 1,300 newton metres of torque, more than the Bugatti Veyron at 1,250 N·m.

Now, that’s what I call good Karma.

The Oculus is the first “design launch” of Schöpfer Yachts LLC. This 250-foot vessel was designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer, founder and owner of his namesake company.

Designed to accommodate 14 guests in extraordinary comfort and style, Oculus is a long distance cruising yacht capable of speeds upwards of 21 knots.

The exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht’s armature balances an elegant

expression of symmetry and structure.

In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a “low rider profile”. This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness. Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated.

The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas.

The second level is the dedicated Owner’s suite.

Living areas and bedchambers are divided by a series of four freestanding tubes, which house

bath and storage necessities.

In addition to the main common stair, the second Owner’s stair connects to the third level aft private salon and deck / water feature.

The third level also contains the forward pilothouse and separate captain’s quarters. The generous open decks with separate water features are located forward and aft for convenient guest use.

DESCRIPTION

Dennis Plintz presents: Truly Beyond Description

Dream Homes

Located in the sophisticated community of Aspen Ridge with wider streets and large family homes, this home is architecturally unique, and stands distinguished among others with its distinctive design and curb appeal. Perched high on an oversized corner lot that is beautifully landscaped and looks over the Elbow Valley and picturesque mountain vistas.

As you enter under an enchanting pergola, through a beautiful garden landscape and front entrance, you are greeted by a 20+ foot wall of Southwest facing windows, capturing a tremendous amount of sunlight, and yielding mountain views that take your breath away. Open faced concrete stairs leads you to a contemporary style wood and glass entrance.

Once inside, the modern yet timeless design that characterizes the home is continued in every detail of the high quality finishing. The dark Fir window trims contrast with walls and polished beige limestone flooring to produce elegant results. Four different wood species, with various wood stains, are used in combination, and their interplay has a dramatic effect on the senses. A curved, two-storey wall, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a twosided fireplace separating the formal living and dining areas, defines the living room. The coarse stone texture against the natural lustre of the wood creates a striking effect.

Photography by Brett Bilon

A beautiful modern kitchen is the center of the house. Custom made Sapele wood cabinets with attractive glass tiling produce a chic and stylish look. A large curved granite island, designed to complement the curved walls, maintains a flow in the design. Beautiful and thoughtful design elements are seen everywhere, such as how the stone used outside, which is duplicated on the fireplace walls inside the home for continuity of design and materials.

A welcoming pergola deck space is an efficient extension, taking your living space outside and accenting the grand outdoor entertaining area.

It sits a few feet above the garden with a modern style glass railing.

Extreme Luxury in Lower Springbank

The ambiance within is soothing and refined, with elegant recessed lighting and beautiful, unique pieces of a fine art collection light fixtures and chandeliers adding to the aura.

Flanked by an open and uniquely gourmet kitchen on one side, the great room features a magnificent 6-ft Italian Travertine fireplace, the single most expensive feature in the house, which was custom made by Vancouver based designers at a cost of $30,000. At night time, the view of the fireplace is simply exotic, with the warmth and the brilliance of the 6 foot long fire dominating the entire scene.

A unique feature of the home is the 5500 square feet of beautiful natural-colored limestone flooring, believed to date back to the Jurassic period, complete with 75 Million year old fossils embedded within.

The custom-cut, over-sized 2-foot by 2-foot limestone pieces were brought in from Germany for this home, by Dauter Stone Inc. This unique limestone full of prehistoric seashells and other fossils is seen throughout the home and includes walls, backsplashes, showers, as well as the floor areas.

In the kitchen, a 15-foot long gourmet centre island finished in beautiful Brazilian granite infused with bronze, copper and jade, eliminates the need for an informal dining area. The same granite is also used as backsplash above the top-of-the-line Dacor cooking range and oven. Every slab is different reflecting distinct and unique colours.

A gleaming, custom designed and manufactured hood, by Hammersmith, captures the eye as you gaze at the seemingly infinite storage cabinets in the kitchen area. This contemporary 2-tiered hood-fan features recessed lighting on its curved perimeter. Two wide Thermador fridges customized to blend with the interior, an additional Dacor oven, open pull-out cabinets and a very exclusive touch-free faucet are some of the other special features of the kitchen.

The subtle earth tones help accentuate the distinct colours and luxurious textures of the natural stone. Along the side of the kitchen wall, just by the entrance is a striking waterfall that cascades down a gorgeous slab of slate imported all the way from India.

The unique Brazilian granite in the kitchen,

by Alberta Marble, adds a dash of colour and reflects beautifully under the Fine Art Collection pendant lighting over the counter and the exceptional ‘Black Marinachi’ in the bar and spa downstairs are

a rarity.

To create a smooth flow from upstairs to the downstairs, a curved artistic staircase with extra wide steps and a beautiful wrought iron balustrade was custom designed for the space. A row of windows along the curved staircase wall keeps both floors bright and open. As a result, the basement feels like a continued flow of the main level. There’s roughly 1,000 square feet of main level deck space, 1,000 square feet on the lower level, 600 sq. feet under open skies on the lower level, as well as 450 square feet of main deck designed as BBQ/grilling space.

A grand piano below the staircase defines the purpose and sets the tone of the lower floor which is set up lavishly for entertainment and recreation. A fine bar, with Italian Black Marinachi counter, shows off beautiful custom made forged iron brackets that hold the glass shelving against travertine walls. A grand theatre room with a majestic 120 inch screen, a two-tier floor for clear viewing, and powerful top-of theline speakers and technology, all set up for a great entertainment experience that rivals the best of commercial theatres.

Sliding doors lead out to the lower deck, creating a flow of space from the inside to the outside and making for great entertaining, especially during the warm summer months. An elegant ‘spa bathroom’ downstairs shows off the sauna room, complete with floor-to-ceiling glass entrance, custom made curved benches and pillows.

Upstairs, an elegant master bedroom with another spa-like en-suite gives the feel of being on a holiday in a luxury resort. A jetted tub sits beside a fireplace and a TV. Phoenix style recessed mirrors embellished with glass tiles on the sides sit above limestone bowl shaped sinks perched over beautiful granite counters. And, to complete the picture of the chic spa-like space, there is also a beautiful leopard print couch set by a large window for some extra R and R.

EXQUISITE

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

by BDA Architecture A bold robust beach house was the vision for this unique beachside site. The 10m wide x 50m deep site running east west attracted numerous design constraints. From tight setback and height constraints, to existing context constraints, to the environmental constraints the building design responds to these whilst addressing the clients brief.

The program responds to the constraints by devel-

oping a courtyard house which divides the house into two parts, providing separate living spaces for a large family and creating a private retreat away from the public street and harsh southeast winds.

The built form is conceived as an arrangement of bold forms layered with different robust materials including honed blockwork, shiplap timber and zinc panels.

The dynamic extruded forms are made possible by the integrated structural design. Complex steel portal frames and cantilevered beams act as a rigid skeletal frame covered by skins of texture.

Integrated lighting design and landscape design reinforces the bold gesture this house brings to the streetscape.

The central courtyard allows for internal rooms to have more adjacent windows and cross ventilation detracting from a singular rectangular plan form full of hot rooms. Plantation pine timber frame and cladding and zinc cladding form part of the response to a sustainable designed building. The livability and comfort of the house resonates from all members of the family.

In the public realm the dynamic form of this house adds to the revitalisation of the prominent beachside esplanade.

The Wiessmann A Rare and Elegant Beauty

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 ’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 don’t so much sit in the Wiesmann as wear it.

The Psychology of Home

The PSYCHOLOGY

OF HOME

Can My Marriage Overcome an Affair?

It depends. It can if this is the first indiscretion and both of you are open to working on rebuilding the marriage. To rebuild, here are just some of the factors you will likely have to address: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Loss of trust Anger and resentment Feelings of betrayal Urges to lash out Confusion Depression Broken communication Fear of losing the relationship, the life you have together, and the future you had assumed would always be there Shame – about doing what you did, about others finding out, etc.

Guilt Embarrassment Recurrent thoughts about what has happened Obsessive need to find out exactly what happened down to the minutest details Tendency to distrust everything, even those things that have nothing to do with the affair Periodic desire to give up Emotional upheaval – sometimes feeling optimistic and sometimes feeling hopelessness Obsessive thoughts about your partner being intimate with someone else Feelings of revulsion when your partner, who has been unfaithful, touches you Learning to love again Learning to forgive Becoming normal

The list is long and no doubt overwhelming but I have created it only to give you an idea of what issues arise in a relationship in which a partner has been unfaithful. Many of these issues are addressed at the

It takes more than wood and steel to make a home; most importantly, it takes people. To that end, every month we at Dream Homes of Canada feature an article related to the Psychology of ‘Home.’ Registered Psychologist Alexander Dhand offers perspectives on how to achieve serenity in your home and how to maximize the mental and psychological well-being of your family.

same time so don’t feel disheartened about how you will deal with all of this.

Sometimes an affair will actually save a marriage – it can become a poignant catalyst - though admittedly a painful one - that gets two partners who may have stopped communicating to talk. The result can be a rebirth of the marriage as partners now faced with the real possibility of a breakup bring much-needed attention to their relationship.

To answer the question, a marriage can recover from an affair but it can be helpful to have someone to guide you through the work you will have to do to bring your marriage back together. The role this third person, a psychologist perhaps, plays is a multidimensional one that includes expert guide, coach, mentor, educator, confidential support system and communications and relationship specialist to help the couple come together again. To do this, the goal of the guide has to be to help the couple identify the areas of dissatisfaction in their life that have caused the current situation, teach communication skills to the couple to give voice to the issues in a constructive fashion and train them in relationship skills that will help them come together from their polarized position. The psychologist must also guide and coach the couple on how to cope with hurt, rebuild trust, develop hope and be with each other again.

An affair no longer means the end of a relationship, relationships do manage to survive, even flourish after an affair, so a little bit of effort after to heal the relationship can lead to very good things.

Alexander Dhand is a Psychologist who works in the areas of Relationships, Addictions, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Trauma, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Chronic Pain. He can be reached by phone at 2400488 or by email at Info@spinc.ca.
