LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
B
eing challenged to deliver a unique level of tailored
services as one of the youngest brokers in the luxury real estate marketplace has afforded me the opportunity in understanding the importance of positioning and building relationships.

Its natural splendor and piquant wit make it the ultra luxury lifestyle. In Summer '2016 issue, we focus on the art of storytelling. We take a journey behind the hedges of some of the most beautiful listings and dive into the souls of the people and businesses that make this a magical place to be. From the tasteful infused dishes at the new Oreya restaurant at the Capri, to the vision behind East End Building with top builder Michael Crocitto, we give you an inside look on how the power of design uplifts your spirit, shapes the world around us and transforms people's lives. This issue would not be possible without the support of my team, clients, friends and family. I would like to personally thank Robert Nelson and BROWN HARRIS STEVENS for giving me all the necessary tools to be successful. In the next issue, we grant you a personal invite into the masterminds of some extraordinary architects, artists and developers as we gear up for Art Basel in Miami.

verlooking picturesque views of where Mecox Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean lies an exclusive property on 100 Crescent Avenue, in Water Mill of incomparable serenity where one escape the worries of everyday living in this intimate two acre treasured estate. Located ninety miles from New York City, in the chic seaside village of Water Mill, this property lends itself to being one of the most sought out destinations to live throughout the world. The symbiotic relationship between landscape and locus is contributed to the master craftsmanship of 456 development group LLC., John Devito and Philip Rossillo. Their contribution to intellectual design can be compared to a conductor of a symphony. It is not only that we can appreciate the most beautiful sounds coming from nature's instruments, but the baton in the hands of artisans becomes a concerto of palatial textures and architectural contexts, enhancing the dialogue between the constructivist and it's natural habitat. The home embodies the spirit of the modernist vanguard, glissading the exterior in and the interior out, as form follows feelings, architecture is the paintbrush to our living dreams. "Come and walk the home. The distinction of detail creates its personality", shares Philip. The versatility of function and lightness of the luxurious 13,000 square foot property unites in a flair of artistry. The tale begins when the two partners of N.J.C. Contracting Corp. and PRDG combined their passions of wanting to eliminate the barriers between the demands of the industry and skilled workmanship, with the focus of preserving home value and offering a high-end luxury product to the discerning Hampton's buyer.
Their inventive prophecy was born after purchasing the acreage that stretches out beyond a verdant estuary of combed clouds and cerulean seas over the horizon. The fulcrum was to seek solutions to overcome wetland restrictions of zoning that allow a fruitful bounty of fauna and flora remaining unalloyed, where human existence and wild cohabitate in peace leaving vestiges in the vegetation. With the team's oracular directives to reflect and connect with perspicacity of life's essential elements, the amenity of a tennis court redeemed feasible of demarcation and sink assemblage onto the rooftop, serving the intent of environmental conservation without visibility from the road and surrounding walls for ball manageability. It's from this design flexibility that explores and unleashes spatial movement and form with an acute lens on contemporary aspects. Intersecting the rear of the courts dwelling invites the kiss of adagio breezes with access to the sky's touch. Supporting the cause in the fight against breast cancer and celebrating visionaries of interior design, 456 development group collaborated with HC &G, and Holiday House on the scheme of the space, inviting 21 designers to execute the feel of the vision. The interchange between the romantic and whimsical interiors delights in a juxtaposition of enchanting subtleties. The allure of objet d' art moves in between the softness of color, clean lines of furniture, and lush fabrics, personifying the feeling of comfort and home. Open terraces mirror to the ocean indulges a majestic theatre of colorful sunrises and sunsets. 100 Crescent - The Architect of your life. Your destination awaits you.

n the thick of vertically-lined evergreen
hedges and hornbeam trees, steps away from South Main Street lies a surreptitious stately classic home on 60 Herrick Road in the heart of the village of Southampton. Architect Brian Brady's composition of harnessing natural light and landscape is the perfect sonata that gestures a sense of levity open to many interpretive views surrounding the property. From the brise-soleil off the pool deck to the skyline of trees wafting through the breeze and free-flowing waterfalls - between the verbal and the visual they convey an unexpected languid serenity. An infinity of white abounds the seven thousand square foot space in nuances of musical orchestration. The juxtaposition of old Hollywood glamour and Belgian modernism interiors meet in a setting that's inviting and warm. Designer, John Bjornen expresses, "The scale of the rooms are comfortable and livable. Our goal was to create a custom home for an aspirational buyer that feels a sense of place and appropriateness to their lifestyle." A portamento of subtle accents in colours of slate, pale silvers, and dreamy creams create a sense of movement while interplaying with the natural effect of the variation of light that embodies the rooms. An emphasis on dark-toned woods, marble, and stone suggest a richness while keeping the palette crisp and clean. Lighting fixtures in deco flair and trompe l'oeil add an eccentric Palladian chic. "It's aesthetic therapy with all the high tech amenities one could ever ask for. The topographical vastness of the property secludes you with the sweet reality of a walk into town", shares Bjornen. Enter into the mystic.

Slip deeply into its aura

t is only as you round the corner to the property known as “Twin Peaks” and discover what is hidden behind the classic Hamptons Privet hedge that the magnificence begins to unfold. The minimalistic elements of wood shingles and classic, beautiful stone of this pristine, traditional yet modern home are timeless. Your eyes spill over to the crisp, manicured landscapes that have been designed with impeccable taste, meshing perfectly with the surrounding lands, then allowing your gaze to fall gently upon the azure ocean that lies beyond the rich green lawns. You have found a place you can breathe, yet your attention is drawn upward to the uninterrupted empyrean skies, and instantly your breath is taken away. Award winning Kean Development has created an experience from the moment you step inside and enter the foyer. Their impeccable attention to detail, method and execution is palatable and echoes throughout this home. At over fifteen thousand five hundred square feet, this home is the antithesis of cold and intimidating. The stained white oak floors throughout create a deep richness that is pure and clean, yet creates a warmth that leaves you yearning to explore further. The white walls and ceilings are fluid and

draw your attention to the magnificent views readily available at the rear of the home. Further enhanced by the 18’ of motorized doors and a loggia of natural stone, this home brings every aspect of outdoor living seamlessly indoors, as you have become one with your location. Although you are firmly planted in Southampton, accents within the home bring you to the south of France, the classic far North East, or the South Pacific as it is only your imagination that limits you. The vibrant, yet soothing colors within the décor dance around the space like a perfectly choreographed ballet. The four levels of living truly bring you on a journey. With each turn of the corner you are invited into luxury. This home is designed to be a sanctuary that bodes for the very best of life and living to be experienced within its walls. On the lower level, the cobalt floors transport you to the ocean and provide every aspect of rest and relaxation you yearn for. You close your eyes and breathe as you become attuned to your body’s desire to relax, revive and replenish. As you ascend to the next level, your mind is enraptured by the feel of the beach, where the sunlight warms your soul. It lays the spaces to nourish,
entertain, and truly live. The décor touches upon all the natural elements while being anything but rustic. It’s pure elegance commingled with wood, glass, metal, fire, air and spirit. The upward slope of white plank ceilings create an effect of snow-capped peaks above your head, ascending to the next level. Calm, peace and healing energy encapsulates the master suite and surrounding rooms. It's here, where you imagine the sweet music of the South Pacific and smell the fragrant orchids that permeate the space. The Atlantic is right there, providing its song for rest and relaxation. Atop the promontory, a coup de theatre jostles every sense of what is expected and entertains you with a rooftop putting green designed to further connect you to the green fields and vistas that surround you. From that vantage, you spy the gunite pool, sunken clay tennis court, and the multilevel patios and the fire pit that concludes with an energetic ovation. There is a level of opulence that is unmatched, yet relaxation and comfort will never escape you. It's a beach home that exceeds every expectation."Twin Peaks" has truly reached the summit of design.

SACRED SPACES
CONSTRUCTING DREAMS
Delighting through the natural ambiance of landscapes and materials, East End Building Company's approach to Hamptons development is to create a "song" that remains in the listeners ears. The fusion of their nature-provoked ideology and custom building practices leaves an indelible mark on the townships' enriched heritage. Founder Michael Crocitto voices, "We construct with a process. Prior to making plans, we survey a property; we live the property, we listen to its native surroundings, and we immerse ourselves in being one with its environment. We don't want a home to be in an area, we want it to be part of a community. We are the storytellers of its timeless existence." Cultivating an experienced team of architects, design experts, and master craftsman, they harmonize the integration between personal custom characteristics and conceptual aspects making a personal connection between the client and the property. "It's always a work in progress. The true magic begins when something starts to unfold. Recognizing that human beings are part of nature, there 50 otiluxury.com
are three fundamental energies that govern our inner and outer environments. These are movement, transformation and structure. It's the architect and designer that bring it to fruition, it's the builder that brings it to life. One can only ask, what if a roof could talk? We apply living and breathing textures to epitomize a spirit with a concentration on form and function, disseminating style and the desired needs of the client. It's all of these components that allow our senses to play into a higher level of spirituality," shares Crocitto. The company's philosophy has a direct effect on how they see growth in the Hamptons market. The overall objective is about instigating a positive impact through environmental consciousness and integrating that awareness through a deeper sense of community. "Existing properties are redeeming properties" -MC Their referral-based clientele is not of the impulse buyer, rather it's the client who looks beyond the box and feels a greater sense of belonging to home. Look into the greater beyond with East End Building.
"You are actually constructing... what your head understood about what your eyes saw."

ohn Barman has taken a traditional, understated 1950s cottage, evolving it over 30 years with well-planned additions, and has created a piece of elegance interjecting contemporary glamour into traditional trajectory architecture. He takes your mind on a personal journey through easy, carefree beaches and eclectic European country fields suggestive of Paris in Spring. Although he considers himself a designer and not an artist, you immediately accede to the seamless transitions between the architecture, the chosen art and dĂŠcor, and the landscape that surrounds this home.

The warmth of rich floors create a palatable connection to nature, grounding and personal peace. His choice of crisp white walls, use of light, and vaulted ceilings throughout create an uplifting functional space that fits a lifestyle. The 10' mahogany French doors allow you to bring the outside environment into an interior space. The aroma of salty air wafts through the space with the terrace overlooking dunes and you find yourself completely at one with the beauty that is naturally Sagaponack. The glissando of white has allowed him the freedom to bring the turquoise ocean, the tangerine hues of sunset, the azure sky and the rose and salmon
flowers fields into the home. There's a sense of being centered, yet an energy that celebrates the “Vibrato of Life.” As you walk through the home your eyes are willingly assaulted with a plethora of textures, patterns and fabrics that satisfy the tactile. The artwork has been carefully chosen with giant sunflowers, zebra rugs, and dynamic geometric shapes in a variety of styles. The vivacious colors within the décor carry your eyes from room to room, leaving you unsure where the home ends and the beautiful English style country gardens begin. From the stone framed pool, the wood shingled exterior to the peaceful outdoor living spaces, John has created a cinema to your soul.

aking our taste buds on an excursion of the archipelago, Oreya restaurant which is located at the Capri hotel is a culinary temple of nonpareil Mediterranean cuisine. Bestowed as Southampton's premier destination, OTI speaks to Chef and owner Greg Grossman about refining the dining experience with a twist on Aegean influences. The ideology behind the maestro's vision was to create the ultimate destination in Hamptons backyard for the savvy connoisseur. "We wanted to depart from the simplicity of Italian and French influences, and incorporate interesting elements and ingredients from Greece and other Eastern Mediterranean locations, offering European appeal to a sophisticated palate", shares Grossman. Inspired by the Flora of Capri and Riviera, the Sands of the Cote D'azur Beach and the Blue Hues of the Aegean, designer Chris Kofitsas of New World Design Builders, enhanced the space by bringing in pops of color in lilac and seafoam, and light woods with copper

and brass accents against white, reminiscent of the beauty of the locations afar. As if the restaurant were rocks that occupy the space within the sea, an outdoor bar, pool and pool deck promenades the exterior into the interior. Fig, lime and olive trees surround the seating with the sweet aroma of Rosemary and Lavender. Greg adds, "We are here to provide a much needed destination for a community that's level of exclusivity is on par with that of the most affluent destinations worldwide. There has been no project that has risen to the occasion and properly invested in a venue to be open year round -to provide the same level of service, food, and beverage whether it be on a Saturday night in July, or a Thursday in November." Dedicated to the importance of working with locally produced farms, Greg utilizes fruits and vegetables to complement the menu. "We get a good amount of produce, including our signature CruditĂŠ with Baby Vegetables, grown for us at The Chefs Garden in Huron, Ohio. I have been working with them for many years, and Farmer Lee Jones grows the best product in the U.S., which is shipped overnight to the top restaurants in the country. The food and cocktail programs are aligned, utilizing many of the same components and flavors, from nuts to herbs and aromatics. Lavender, Rosemary, and Pomegranate are all prevalent in our dishes. We care about the sustainability and freshness of the food", says Grossman. The pairing of food and cocktails are aligned with the components and flavors of the coast. A wine list has approachable options by the glass and bottle, including an extensive Champagne and RosĂŠ selection. Sublime food - Sublime experiences

"ROMAN SANFORD is comprised of the finest and most professional personnel possible to ensure that our clients, their families and their assets, are safe." - Luke McNamara President/RS
OTI: What sets ROMAN SANFORD apart from other Protection agencies? LM: Our interactive branding platform in and of itself is extremely unique to the industry. The importance of implementing private security with a lifestyle element brings forth a humanizing aspect to it. Our clients relate to someone who listens to their primary concerns. We refer to this process as “tailored assessment.” We ascribe ourselves as the "concierge of the private security industry", due to our exceptional network of relationships for all components of security. If we are not able to fulfill a particular service, our industry-leading affiliates can. We are committed to staying up to date on the most sophisticated technology and assets in today's political climate. While we brand ourselves in private security, our client’s privacy is of the utmost importance to us. None of our work is advertised and the details of our operations are highly classified. OTI: How do you mitigate risks and threats without disruption to normal business practices? LM: There are two key elements that distinguish a strategic blueprint for a particular client. In the consultation phase, we gather all pertinent information needed to meet the client’s overall objectives. The security operation will vary with the specific requests and services needed to devise a plan that meets the skill and excellence required. In the action phase, sophisticated tactical security measures are taken to devise solutions to matters before they present themselves. Our aim is to deter, deflect, and apprehend situations before they arise without interference to our clients' daily practices.

OTI: How do you define “minimal impact”? LM: Quality services with low visible presence. Our motto is "care with discretion". We are able to deploy experienced personnel and advanced equipment necessary in a fine-tuned capacity, while operating in obscurity.
"Targeting is at its highest peak. Complacency is the mindset of vulnerability. We have to allude to the fact that everyone is at potential risk from robbery of assets on their immediate persons, ransom by kidnapping, cyber hacking (bank accounts and identity theft), money laundering, and organized terrorist cells- many of which operate in OTI: What can people do to protect the shadows of our very own countries themselves against common, everyday and cities.
