WELCOME RESIDE, ISSUE ONE e are proud to introduce you to our fabulous and new Reside W magazine! In its pages we hope to
inspire you, inform you, and dream with you! I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the 1980s, I was in my 20s. I had big dreams, each one an invigorating possibility. I dreamt of having my own place, decorated by me, furnished by me … a respite for all my friends to enjoy … and envy. In my mind I pictured one of those wine commercials where good friends gather in an urban high-rise on a snowy night, the city sparkling below. Drinking fine wine, dressed in awesome sweaters, fire in the fireplace. t was going to be perfect. y very first purchase was that dream reali ed. riends, wine, fireplace, and all. And I have owned many places since, fulfilling dreams as dreamt them. My husband and I have experienced the pain and euphoria of renovating a charming, historic urban manse and a midcentury deep in the
woods with koi ponds and deer. Each one, a dream come true. I just turned 60, and as I play back the movie of my life, it is clear why my passion has been to associate myself with Sotheby’s International Realty. We are here for the sole purpose of interpreting your dreams and partnering with you to see them realized. We are here to listen, establish trust, forge friendships, and celebrate your milestones. And when you dream your new dream, whether it’s your first purchase as in a wine commercial, a manse in the woods, or your last cozy downsize, they are all dreams to us. We are “Sotheby’s Dreamweavers,” and with each new issue of Reside magazine, we will inspire you no matter your age, and remind you that all dreams are reachable. Welcome to Reside … Enjoy!

WHAT’S NEW IN ART, ARCHITECTURE, AND DESIGN FROM FRAMING TO CEILINGS TO “MINI HABITATS”

hether we’re talking trends in art, architecture, or design, it’s all W about seeing the beauty of traditional
materials used in new ways. It’s looking at ordinary ob ects in a different light. It’s rethinking the purpose of conventional spaces. But most of all, it’s about being open to possibilities. ART
Picture frames increasingly are being recognized as objets d’art that raise the aesthetic as well as the monetary value of the masterworks they surround. “Every great artist, from Michelangelo and Van Gogh to Thomas Hart Benton, got involved in designing and sometimes even building great frames for each work they created,” says master framer Eli Wilner, whose namesake studio in Manhattan has restored and replicated frames for private clients and museums around the world. “The frame is a tool by which art gets elevated and energized. I consider it an adjunct to the artwork.” Wilner, who replicated the mammoth $3.5 million frame for Emanuel

From left: The Cooper Tower in Chicago's Southbank neighborhood; Ken Tate's ceiling treatment for a New Orleans villa; Eli Wilner & Co. made this frame for the portrait of Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in the Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi.
Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, says that “when the right frame is paired with the right picture, it can add 10% to the value of the work.” And, he adds, “With major artworks selling for upwards of million, that s a significant amount.
“The Southbank development is about the synergy among the residences, the river, and the green space, says Per ins ill design principal Todd Snapp. “It’s designed to bring the public and the tower residents to the riverfront by weaving in water-taxi stops, fishing holes, and aya ing stations.
ARCHITECTURE
DESIGN
The newest residential towers in big cities are merging working and living spaces to create self-sustaining communities. Long-underutilized riverfront properties in cities such as Chicago, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh are becoming prime places for mixed-use “mini-habitats” that pair public and private spaces for a vibrant human/nature interaction. Southbank, a seven-acre development on the south branch of the Chicago River—built by Lendlease, an international firm based in ydney, and designed by the global architectural firm Per ins ill recently opened the first of five buildings on a half-mile stretch that incorporates the city’s riverwalk into its design. The 29-story, 452-unit luxury tower, known as The Cooper, is anchored by retail stores and features an amenity level, with a listening lounge with playable musical instruments, a shop space with sewing machines and craft supplies, a hairand-makeup studio, a game room with a pool table, a club-level fitness center, and co-wor ing rooms. An outdoor terrace, complete with pool and spa, has a pizza oven and grilling stations, a bocce court, a movie-screening area, and fire pits.
Elaborate design treatments elevate the status of the ceiling, enhancing its role as the fifth wall. “In classical styles of architecture, the ceiling was the sky, the cosmos,” says New Orleans architect Ken Tate. “It was something grander and bigger than the wall.” Tate says the treatments, which reference the style of the architecture, imbue the space with personality that “can be subtle or over-the-top.” In a 12,800-square-foot Palladian-style villa in New Orleans that he designed, Tate allowed the vast ceilings to soar in high style with groin and barrel vaults, antique wood beams supported by classically carved brackets, and plaster coves. “I kept the plaster walls neutral,” he says, “because not only is it in keeping with the Italian Renaissance style, but it also was a way to make the client’s large contemporary artworks stand out on their own.” And for a British Colonial–style home he designed in the Bahamas, Tate created traditional, pyramidal tray ceilings for a climactic effect. As an architect, see myself as a composer and conductor,” he says. “Ceiling designs can reference each other like the repeating notes in a song.” 7

THE A- FRAME REIMAGINED THE CLASSIC STYLE IS UNIQUE, BRIGHT, AND MAKING A COMEBACK ON THE HIGH END

ew building styles are as distinct as the aptly named A-frame. Starting in the 1950s, these triangular homes became staples in ski towns and other resort areas around the U.S. and Canada. Although interest faded for some time, the e cient design wasn t lost on modern architects and homeowners, and the A-frame has seen something of a renaissance over the past decade. here s a lot more interest in postwar design in general, says Chad Randl, author of the book A-frame and a visiting professor at the niversity of regon s chool of Architecture & nvironment. he uir iness appeals to people. n Victoria, ritish olumbia, otheby s nternational ealty agents inston han and ogan ilson are offering an almost 4,500-square-foot double A-frame for 6 million Canadian dollars (US$4.6 million). The structure was recently updated, keeping the oldschool look while adding modern amenities.

The 1.21-acre gated estate also features a second, newly built modern guest house, a fully finished tile garage perfect for showcasing several automobiles, and state-of-the-art technology to control and monitor the home from near or far. Nearby, in Sooke, British Columbia, a 2,907-square-foot original A-frame home is being offered at . million by otheby s Glynis ac eod. he five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home dates to 1969, and both the home and the extensive acreage surrounding it have been meticulously cared for by the original owners. “This is one of those rare properties preserved by a family who care for the land and respect the environment, ac eod says. he home sits on acres of virtually untouched forest, with waterfalls at the ocean and access to a dock in a sheltered bay. Designed by German architect ony Burkhart and built by European craftsmen, the home has a 1,360-square-foot deck cantilevered over the water and almost 2,000 feet of ocean frontage on Sooke Basin, plus a protected dock.
he double A-frame has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, providing an ever-changing light show that is the source of constant entertainment, says co-owner Virginia Wyman, whose father had the home built. t s a cathedral of light, she says. very hour of the day brings a subtle difference. ost potential buyers are een to update the historic abode, rather than scrapping it to build anew. “This home is sited closer to the water than current zoning would probably permit, so it is definitely worth eeping, ac eod says. nstead, potential buyers have tal ed about eeping the existing footprint, and extending the house behind it. A-frames, with their severely pitched roofs, make great vacation houses in wintry areas like Canada. “Snow is unlikely to collapse the roof, andl points out. Ski resorts—Squaw Valley and others near Lake Tahoe, for instance—are known for A-frames for this reason, as well as because the peaks of the roofs echo the peaks of the nearby mountains. But Randl says they were popular at other resort areas established after World War II, including places in Oregon and the Adirondacks in New York. hey were playful and whimsical. hey were different than the everyday, he says.

Whereas the classic Caribbean experience once took place on a resort packed with honeymooners and vacationing families, present-day visitors choose from luxury boutique resorts, design-focused hotels, and eco-lodges. hese five destinations each uite different from one another offer a welcome contrast to touristclogged hot spots.
Among the 100-plus restaurants, rare is the menu that doesn’t focus on seafood; Anguillan crayfish spotted spiny lobsters are a must for first-timers. ther local delicacies include tamarind balls, saltfish, ohnnyca es simple uic bread found alongside many meals and rice with pigeon peas. Annual highlights include Anguilla Day in May, commemorating the Anguillan Revolution of 1967, and the Anguilla Summer Festival, a 10-day celebration with street parades, dancing, competitions, fairs, and boat races.
ANGUILLA
SAINT LUCIA
One of the northernmost of the Lesser Antilles’ Leeward Islands, this British Overseas Territory consists of the main island of Anguilla (population: 15,000) and smaller islands and cays none of which are permanently inhabited. Popular pastimes mostly take place in the water: diving, snorkeling, sport fishing, windsurfing, itesurfing, and kayaking. For a less strenuous experience, head to Sandy Island, a small cay accessible by boat. Anguilla makes up for its lack of conventional visitor attractions with its blindingly white beaches all open to the public and rarely crowded and renowned luxury resorts. American designer Kelly earstler s first international project, Four Seasons Resort & Residences Anguilla, thrills with chic interiors featuring natural materials. After a comprehensive, nine-figure renovation closed it down for more than a year, the Belmond Cap Juluca has reopened, offering a plethora of new facilities and guest experiences. Zemi Beach House is an award-winning boutique option on Anguilla’s East End. If price isn’t a concern, consider Altamer, an ultraexclusive resort comprised of three villas on the secluded West End. Guests enjoy 24-hour butler service, personal chefs, in-villa spa treatments, and boat charters to neighboring islands. For a tiny island, Anguilla punches above its weight, culinarily speaking.
With its lush rainforests, waterfalls, and hot springs, this sovereign island nation (population: 168,000) in the Lesser Antilles is a magnet for nature lovers. Adventurers can zipline above the rainforest, and active types challenge themselves with myriad hiking paths, none more famous than the trek up Gros Piton, the taller of the two volcanic peaks that form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other key activities: seeing wildly colorful flowers and birds at the Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens, and taking a dip in the famous hot springs at Sulphur Springs. Expect large crowds during the island’s annual Soleil Summer Festival. Highlights include the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival (May) and Carnival (June-July). Two of the island’s most lauded resorts reside in the shadow of the Pitons. Dramatically carved into a hillside, Jade Mountain is one of the most unusual resorts in all of the aribbean. t offers jaw-dropping views from its 24 “sanctuaries as guest rooms are called , each with its own infinity pool. ugar each, a Viceroy Resort, provides a livelier, more versatile option guests choose from cottages, villas, bungalows, and residences facing a stunning beach. Visitors dining off-resort are rewarded with the island’s unique blend of French, African, and West Indian cuisines. Classic Saint Lucian fare includes the national dish of green figs unripe 13
bananas and saltfish, lambi conch , breadfruit, accra salted cod cakes), rice and peas, and johnnycakes. otable beaches are everywhere silver- and blac -sand beaches in the volcanic southwest, and rugged beaches on the east coast, where endangered leatherback turtles go to nest. Island-hoppers are drawn to the BVI (population: 32,000), one of the few Caribbean destinations where sailing from island to island is common. This British Overseas Territory consists of the main islands of Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, and Virgin Gorda, plus dozens of smaller islands and cays, only a handful of which most notably the gorgeous Guana sland and ir ichard ranson s legendary ec er sland are inhabited. The BVI is perfect for sailing novices; well-protected from the Atlantic, the islands are clustered near one another, making it easy to sail from one to the next. Many visitors skip the resorts and spend the night on residential boats or chartered vessels, sailing by day between key attractions. These include The Baths (Virgin Gorda), a beachfront area of unique geologic formations where visitors explore natural tidal pools, tunnels, and scenic grottoes; Flamingo Pond (Anegada), a salt pond where colorful aribbean flamingos can be viewed hite ay (Jost Van Dyke), a secluded, popular beach with snorkeling close to shore; and Sage Mountain (Tortola), the islands’ highest point, offering hi ing trails through the rainforest. he V offers world-class windsurfing and fishing opportunities, too. Scuba divers tackle one of the Caribbean’s most famous wreck dives, the RMS Rhone, where underwater scenes for the film The Deep were filmed. Among the most notable hotels, Guana Island Resort and Scrub Island Resort have both recently reopened after renovations; others, such as Virgin Gorda’s Rosewood Little Dix Bay and Bitter End Yacht Club, are reopening in 2019. Tortola, the largest and most populated island, is best for those looking to visit historical ruins or experience native 14

Epicures visit in November for the annual BVI Food Fête, a collection of food festivals and celebrations. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
As one of the largest and most versatile destinations in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic (population: 11 million) provides a worthy alternative to the smaller, pricier options nearby. The DR, as many call it, shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, its western neighbor. Santo Domingo, the bustling capital, delights cultural-minded visitors with its merengue-fueled nightlife and colorful Colonial Zone (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Other options run the gamut from sleepy beach towns to lively megaresorts. While the DR has long been lauded for its excellent rum, chocolate, and coffee, young chefs have elevated Dominican cuisine to the point where anto Domingo reputedly home to more restaurants than any city in the aribbean and the resort hub of Punta ana offer a variety of fine-dining destinations that wouldn’t be out of place in Miami or Medellín. There are hundreds of miles of coastline, and adventurers choose among eco-tourism activities spread across national parks, mountain ranges (including Pico Duarte, the tallest mountain in the Caribbean), and rivers. One notable option is Punta Cana’s Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park and Reserve, a pristine nature reserve with freshwater lagoons, lush forest trails, and native animals. And with 26 attractive courses, the country was named the “2019 Golf Destination of the Year for atin America and the aribbean by the nternational Association of Golf Tour Operators. The DR’s wildly colorful and boisterous Carnival celebration consumes the entire country throughout the month of February, with the biggest parties often taking place on Dominican Independence Day (Feb. 27). One of the DR’s most famous natives, the late designer Oscar de la Renta, contributed to two resorts: Casa de Campo Resort & Villas (where de la Renta kept a lavish estate), in the popular seaside city of La Romana, and Punta Cana’s Tortuga Bay, where de la Renta designed the interiors. Sanctuary Cap Cana is another big-ticket Punta Cana destination, a Spanish Colonial-style property that’s the country’s most exclusive adults-only resort. ore recently, et-setters have been floc ing to the northeast coast for the private Playa Grande Golf and Ocean Club, which includes Amanera, a romantic, Balineseinspired hideaway that’s part of the Aman Resorts collection.

water activities (snorkelling tours, boat charters, kayak eco-tours). The islands’ underwater topography and thriving coral reef ecosystem attract expert divers who gawk at sharks, rays, turtles, and dolphins, plus migrating humpback whales. To most visitors, the islands’ tony resorts and idyllic beaches are the main draw, none more so than Grace Bay. This five-mile stretch of white sand along the northeast coast of Providenciales houses several notable properties, including the Grace ay lub, an all-suite, all-oceanfront resort the host site of the annual Caribbean Food and Wine Festival. A few miles away is the first resort on ong ay each, the hore Club, which opened in 2017 as one of the most anticipated luxury newcomers in all of the Caribbean. Como Parrot Cay, situated on a private , -acre island, offers bree y beachfront villas that are popular with celebrities. Islanders are known as Belongers, and many can trace their heritage back to the African slaves who were brought in to work the islands’ salt pans and cotton plantations. To get a taste of the local culture, see out authentic dishes favorites include conch, blue crab, boiled or fried fish, and peas and hominy grits, which are easier to find at casual eateries away from Providenciales.

DECORATING LIKE A PARISIAN IT’S ALL ABOUT ECLECTICISM AND PAYING HOMAGE TO THE PAST
MIX TIME PERIODS
t is very modern and rench to mix pieces from a wide array of periods and styles in a balanced and harmonious way, a arian says. he pieces, she says, should resonate with you Perhaps a piece that reminds you of a favorite destination or time period. he furniture needs to function for the space and reflect your personality. Plus, she says, t s important not to overdo any one style or incorporate too many elements. e want rooms that always feel fresh and modern when you are in them. MAINTAIN FLOW
armonious flow from one room to the next is ey. At the same time, a arian says, ou do want rooms to be independent from one space to the next it s a delicate balance. sing the same flooring throughout can be a good way to achieve flow, she says. PROVIDE UNEXPECTED POPS
a arian recommends using natural, earth-tone colors throughout the space, since they provide a great radiant warmth. hen you can add in more touches of color. or example, a arian uses neutral colors, mainly whites, for upholstery fabrics, then incorporates more-vibrant colors for damas draperies in the dining room, adding fresh bou uets of flowers for a pop of color in rooms throughout a space. LET LIGHTING SHINE
here’s a certain chicness about a Parisian home that s so effortless, T even the most hapha ardly strewn

FOCUS ON FURNITURE
or me, the furniture era that defines a Parisian-chic home is the th-century rench Art Deco period, a arian says, noting that this period s designers including mile- ac ues uhlmann, ean ichel ran , Andre Arbus, and ac ues Adnet created interiors and furnishings that were the epitome of sophisticated simplicity. hile she says any furniture, either anti ue or modern, can be incorporated into a Parisian apartment, the use of side tables and occasional tables with different types of chairs is a very rench way to decorate.

Location is everything, and that’s never more apparent than at the chef’s table set on an idyllic private island at the W Punta De Mita. Seven courses come with expert wine pairings, optional mescal tastings, and house-made sangrita (a cilantro-based chaser).

residential buildings, which date to the s, are filled with long, narrow units that have windows only in the front and back. Aside from some renovated buildings, most do not have elevators.

Opposite page: Getty Images. This page: Amsterdam Sotheby’s International Realty
e Pijp, which in English means The Pipe, is the hippest neighborhood D in Amsterdam, The Netherlands’ city
of canals. Located directly south of the city center in the Oud Zuid, or Old South section, De Pijp originally was a working-class neighborhood and has three districts—Diamantbuurt or Diamond, Nieuwe Pijp, and Oude Pijp. “It’s the hipster section of the city,” says Marianne Joanknecht, managing partner, at Amsterdam Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s comparable to SoHo or the Meatpacking district in New York.” Many of the residents, she adds, are students at the University of Amsterdam or VU University Amsterdam. Throughout its history, De Pijp has been home to creative notables, including painter Piet Mondrian, folk singer André Hazes, and actress Carice van Houten. And De Pijp’s bohemian charm starts with its streets, most of which are named for Dutch painters—Jan Steen, Frans Hals, and, of course, Vincent van Gogh; they lead to a variety of chic shops, bars, and restaurants. APARTMENTS WITH CHARACTER
Apartment living defines De Pi p. he
De Pi p offers a variety of activities during the day and at night, and its youthful residents keep it ahead of the trends. “There’s a good range of unique shops and restaurants and little bars and cafes with terraces,” Joanknecht says. A favorite spot for residents and visitors alike is the Albert Cuyp Market, a 260-stand, open-air grocery that’s the largest day market in Europe and is named for the famed 17th-century painter. The neighborhood, home to some 150 nationalities, has an abundance of ethnic restaurants that feature Syrian, Moroccan, Surinamese, Turkish, Japanese, and Spanish dishes. Joanknecht mentions Brut de Mer, an oyster bar, and Caron, a French restaurant. Bazar, which is in a converted church, specializes in Middle Eastern and African dishes, and Chocolate Bar serves drinks and holds weekly DJ nights. For dessert, there’s Taart Van M’n Tante, known for elaborate custom cakes—just like your tante used to make. The concept shop Miuse carries fashion, interior, and beauty brands created by emerging local designers. ne of the neighborhood s defining buildings is the former Heineken brewery, a national monument that’s on the European Route of Industrial Heritage. The imposing redbrick structure has been repurposed into a tourist attraction. The area also has its own park, Sarphati, a two-block-long rectangular green space in the center of the neighborhood that features a Victorian monument honoring its namesake, doctor and philanthropist Samuel Sarphati. De Pijp is a short walk from Museum Square, home of the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk—which has a world-renowned collection of modern art—and the Concertgebouw or concert hall. It’s also close to the Vondelpark, a 120-acre green space that features an open-air theater. It’s easy to get around De Pijp—it has its own metro stop, and as Joanknecht notes, recent upgrades to the subway system have given residents easy, e cient access to all parts of Amsterdam as well as the airport. 27

city confidential: Portland, Oregon, After Dark from a whiskey library to a european - style drinking den, there are myriad nightlife offerings
Multnomah Whiskey Library
Though the list to get in is long, this suave whiskey bar is well worth the wait. Old-fashioned regal in the extreme, no detail—in drink, decor, or cuisine—is overlooked. Try a shot of the single-malt Macallan Royal Marriage for $1,785. Or, for mortals on a budget, there are nearly 1,000 other less pricey whiskeys to try, as well as an impressive selection of top-shelf tequila, gin, cognac, vodka, and other spirits. The bartenders need ladders to access much of it. Multnomah’s food offerings, most sourced locally and paired with your whiskey choice, are also well worth sampling, especially the lamb tartare. Doug Fir Lounge
With 14 years on the Portland scene, this popular log-cabin-esque music venue in the centrally located East Burnside neighborhood, adjacent to the Jupiter Hotel, knows exactly what works. By its own description, Doug Fir’s interior design is “Twin Peaks meets the Jetsons,” which, in a very
28
Portland way, works spectacularly. The focus rests squarely on the music; most anywhere you are in the place, you can see the stage. The lounge’s designers commission a unique poster to be made by a local artist for each show. Recently the place underwent a mini-revamp, with a new food menu focused on local ingredients and vegan fare, more advanced cocktails, and the addition of a custom photo booth. Mississippi Studios
If there is anything one can expect from a former Baptist church turned recording studio turned concert venue, it is variety. This late-night legend, located on the always-hopping Mississippi Avenue, puts on some of the best and most intimate shows in town, from garage rock to indie folk to reggae (tickets from $5 to $20). The joint next door, Bar Bar, is also part of the attraction, with people often going between the two spots. At Bar Bar, there is great patio space and a hidden garden. It also boasts some of the best burgers in the city.
The Solo Club
For a more subdued experience, snag a table and sip one of the expertly designed cocktails at this bilevel, European-style drinking den in northwest Portland. It is known for its amaro-based libations, such as the fernet and cola, or cava served with your choice of amaro. The carefully crafted food menu, with seared diver scallops and lamb meatballs, is also wonderful, as are the pastries and coffee. Its popular patio is a good spot for enjoying “coolers”—combos of beer, soda, and bubbly wine. Expatriate
Nestled in the Alberta Arts District is this slightly surreal cocktail lounge. Consider the Hollygrove: Pierre Ferrand 1840 cognac, yellow chartreuse, lemon, foreign palm sugar, fresh orgeat, and blue Curaçao. Or try the Alibi: Pueblo Viejo Blanco tequila, fresh lime, hibiscus, local honey, ginger, and prickly pear cactus. Bartenders here are also known to customize drinks based on tastes. Not to be missed, though, are the Asian-inspired “drinking snacks,” out of the mind of Naomi Pomeroy, the 2014 James Beard winner for Best Chef Northwest. We’re talking about Laotian Tacos, with toasted coconut, tuna belly, nectarine, lime, chili, dried shrimp, candied peanuts, and fish sauce; Burmese Coconut Noodles with chicken; and more.
The Solo Club is all about amaro-based libations.
The Solo Club
P
ortland has a reputation that precedes it. Oregon’s most populated city is associated in the national imagination with both hipsters and hippies, crowded as much with tattoos as Birkenstocks. But while much of Portland lives up to the stereotype, the city is also incredibly diverse in its urban offerings, a trait best exemplified through its nightlife. An evening in Portland offers everything from swanky, dimly lit cocktail lounges to dingy dives to raucous music clubs. Connecting all of them is Portland’s oftlampooned but seriously followed modus operandi: Individuality reigns supreme.

VICTORIAN WARMTH THE ABUNDANT ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS OF A VICTORIAN BUILDING MAKE FOR A HOME FULL OF PERSONALITY By Claudia Gryvatz Copquin 32

ith towers, turrets, gables, and trim, a Victorian house makes a distinct statement. It says quaintness. Craftsmanship. Grace. By definition, it also says history. A Victorian house “speaks of the time that it was built and how people lived there,” says Celia Dunn of Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty. In Savannah, Ga., where her firm is based, Dunn says the historic district offers an excellent sampling of desirable, Victorianstyle houses. In the U.S., Old Louisville in Kentucky and the seaside Cape May district in New Jersey have a large assortment of Victorians. Of course, London is also replete with these gems. Popularized during and after Queen Victoria’s reign (1837–1901) and the Industrial Revolution, Victorian architecture is a term that includes Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, and Italianate styles. What these have in common is charm: from ornate porches and balconies to arched or Gothic windows, ornamental wrought iron, asymmetrical facades, hardwood floors, and carved fireplace mantels. And according to Spence Kass, principal of architectural firm Kass & Associates, based in Philadelphia, Pa., these properties are easily adaptable to modern living. “We are preserving the main rooms of the house, and combining a lot of very small spaces to make grander rooms,” Kass says. The key is maintaining the integrity of these houses. “There’s a real warmth about living in a Victorian home,” adds Dunn.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME THERE ARE MANY PLACES ACROSS THE GLOBE THAT WELCOME THOSE LOOKING TO PURCHASE A SECOND HOME IN A DREAM SPOT By Claudia Gryvatz Copquin
P
urchasing a second home away from the mainland is an exciting adventure—one with many thought-provoking decisions to make before signing on the dotted line First, consider the type of climate you’re seeking and how far you’re willing to commute to a vacation home. Then visit geographic locations, and spend as much time as possible at each one. Is exotic Hawaii an option? How about a beachfront abode in the Bahamas? Perhaps you’d like to venture to real estate hot spots such as Malta, the Philippines, or Portugal. “Algarve is the most touristy place in Portugal. There’s warm weather all year long, amazing beaches, and tons of things to explore. It’s also known as the best golf destination in the world,” says Miguel Poisson, managing director of Portugal Sotheby’s International Realty in Algarve. He also cites Lisbon and Cascais as popular with second-home buyers. Aside from considering proximity to your main home, climate, lifestyle, language, and security, when evaluating locations loo at countries that offer investment-based citizenship and residency programs. For example, Portugal and Malta are attractive to second-home buyers since, depending on the amount invested in a property, they offer Golden Visas. A Golden Visa is a residency permit offered to people who invest in a country,” explains Kathleen Peddicord, author and publisher of the website Live and Invest Overseas. ased on certain ualifications and investment re uirements, the Philippines allows foreign property buyers to reside there indefinitely, under a pecial nvestor s esident Visa (SIRV). Once you’ve chosen your dream location, retain experienced professionals. “Work with well-known and established real estate companies,” Poisson cautions. “There are a lot of different people and companies in the real estate business and some of them don’t have the capability of delivering a good customer experience.” And with varying foreign-ownership laws, special permits, plus title and transactions costs, make sure you work with a savvy real estate attorney from the get-go, Peddicord says. Lastly, she says, once you’ve made your purchase it’s imperative that you retain a caretaker to look out for your property when you’re not there. After all, you want your home away from home to be safe and sound, all year round. Claudia Gryvatz Copquin is a New York-based journalist.

rivate social clubs, traditional bastions of upper-class decorum, are reinventing themselves as democratic gathP ering spots for a diverse, younger generation of members.
The old clubs are easing membership rules, dress codes, and even fees, while new clubs like the one being planned by David Beckham and Guy Ritchie in West London’s Notting Hill are catering to the chic sneakers-and-cellphone crowd. “It is not about removing the previous generations but evolving the concepts so they work for all ages and breathe fresh life into quite often traditional members clubs with quite a traditional clientele,” says Carlo Carello, managing director of Onslow Holdings, which operates the London clubs ahi i, Albert s at eaufort ouse, and a es. Megan Stromberg, general manager of The Battery in San Francisco, says, “We like to think of ourselves as avant-garde, not old guard.” The club, which opened in 2013 and counts 4,900 members, includes a 120-seat restaurant, a public hotel with 14 rooms and a penthouse, a library that’s used for events instead of reading, several bars, and a wine cellar with 1,200 unique labels. “It’s a cheeky nod to the past of clubs,” she says. In addition to world-class programs on music, literature, and culture, he attery offers what tromberg calls “thoughtfully curated experiences” such as yoga retreats and women’s wellness hot-tub hang outs. Its subclubs, which include one devoted to adventure and one for LGBT members, are designed for special interests. Its philanthropic arm has donated some million to over nonprofits. “The goal is to bring together a diverse group of leaders from various fields and professions, she says. t s a place for people to connect and share ideas, but it’s social, not business.” The Island Yacht Club, which has been on Canada’s Toronto Islands since its founding in 1953, recently revamped its property and programs—moves that increased membership from 40 families to 225. “We used to have only boating memberships, but we added a social membership whose fees are significantly lower, so it has become a neighborhood boutique club,” says Andrew Birch, director of membership. “People see it as a summer resort. We have families that come to swim in our pool, play tennis, and hike on nature trails.” He added that not only has the number of boating members doubled, but “some of the social members have been
converted to boating members.” In place of lectures and readings, the club hosts themed nights in its glassenclosed clubhouse. he exican fiesta night, which features food and music and children taking swings at a piñata, is quite popular, he says. Since its opening two years ago, Albert’s at Beaufort House in London has attracted 2,000 annual and 200 life members from varied professions. Those under 30 are eligible for reduced-rate quarterly memberships. he decor reflects a younger aesthetic,” Carello says. “The interiors are still luxurious but with touches designed for the highly visual Instagram generation,” he says.“Our events schedule is designed for our young members, with world-class DJs and fancy-dress parties.” For the 125-year-old Chelsea Arts Club in London, which has always possessed a bohemian atmosphere, change meant spending 2 million British pounds (US$2.62 million) on its clubhouse just so things didn’t change. “It was a restoration, not a refurbishing project,” says club secretary Geoffrey atthews. e offer a friendly and informal home for artists who are ta ing time off from the studio our approach continues to appeal to the creatively minded of all ages. We’ve never had a dress code and we’ve never allowed the use of phones or computers, and our subscriptions remain less than half the average of other London clubs.” The institutions are likely to keep changing with the times, because as Carello says, “A club cannot rest on its laurels.” 53

ye is a spirit with lots of history. The peppery drink was a favorite of the forefathers of R the U.S., including President George Washington, and was a
staple right up until Prohibition. But rye distillers never recovered from that 13-year dry spell, and until recently, the spirit was all but extinct. Now, with bespoke bars and craft cocktails making everything old new again, it is having a more-than-triumphant return to the top shelf. Between 2009 and 2017, sales of the spirit rose a whopping 934%, according to the Distilled Spirits Council. Craft distillers have led the rye trend, but bigger brands such as Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, and Bulleit have joined in as well. The rise in rye “has amazed everyone in the industry,” albeit pleasantly, says Wes Henderson, co-founder of Angel’s Envy distillery in Louisville, Ky. “If you’d asked me 10 years ago if rye would even still be around, I would have said, ‘Hell, no,’ ” he says. “But it makes sense in terms of the premiumization of spirits and the rise of the classic cocktail.” Colin Spoelman, co-founder of Brooklyn-based Kings ounty Distillery, agrees. e re ust coming off a time when the cocktail culture was looking back rather than forward,” he says. “Bartenders got interested in rye because it’s called for in so many classic cocktails.” To be a rye, the spirit must be made from at least 51% rye grain the higher the percentage, the more rye flavor. raft ryes, made in small batches, are traditionally more “grain forward,” says Spoelman, and have “that sort of rich mouthfeel.” Kings Distillery has teamed up with five other ew or distilleries to create a standard Empire Rye within the state, which calls for ew or grown rye and barley malt and is aged two years in charred-oak barrels, giving it notes of maple, mint, and cut grass with a spicy finish. At Angel’s Envy, Henderson started making rye once he realized how wrong he was about its future. His version is made from rye and finished in aribbean rum barrels, combining “the classic rye spice with the sweetness of the rum.” Rye is just one of many whiskies made at Angel’s Envy and Kings Distillery, but WhistlePig in Vermont is dedicated to rye alone. At what was once a dairy farm, master distiller Dave Pickerell has created a collection of ryes, including its annual FarmStock estate release, which is made with the distillery’s own grain and finished in Vermont white oa barrels. Rye can be pricier than other spirits. WhistlePig’s Farmtoc starts at a fifth, but its premium whis ies can cost $300 or more. The spirit can be served in a number of ways. Rye brings its spicy notes to yesterday’s tipples, like Old Fashioneds or Sazeracs, and mixologists are making it their own with modern recipes. The spirit is also as good neat or on the rocks as it is in cocktails, Henderson adds. “I don’t care how your drink it, just drink it,” he says. 59

gold medal for singles, and he has been labeled the “King of Clay” for winning more than 50 matches on clay courts. But while tennis may be Nadal’s passion, he feels his greatest achievement is the foundation bearing his name. “The work we do via the Rafa Nadal Foundation—and everything we have achieved over the years—is very enriching for me,” Nadal, 32, says. Born in Manacor on the island of Mallorca in Spain, Nadal still chooses to live in his hometown, where he and his family started the foundation, a private nonprofit dedicated to children in underserved communities. Nadal and his organization believe that all young people should have equal opportunities to reach their full potential.“Be it with vulnerable children, youth with disabilities, or talented
athletes, our objective is in all cases the same,” says Maria Francisca Perelló, director of strategy for the foundation. She explains that the organization aims “to promote values and empower minors and adolescents, enabling them to face the challenges of the future.” Sports and education are the backbones of the foundation and the projects it currently supports. “What better tool than sports to make it possible?” Perello says. Since its creation in 2008, the foundation has assisted 3,700 children, ranging in age from 6 to 17. In 2014, the Rafa Nadal Foundation Center—the initiative s flagship pro ect opened in Palma de allorca. he center focuses on sports, social skills, and psychotherapy. Besides establishing productive study habits, the children learn how to communicate and deepen their respect for their colleagues. Nadal says he isn’t surprised to see “how, through sport and education, we are able to improve the lives of so many children and young people, and of their families, too.” The foundation’s More Than Tennis program, started in 2010 in collaboration with Special Olympics Spain, reaches children in 18 schools in the country, assisting with learning disabilities and teaching the basics of tennis. Students learn playing techni ues as they build self-confidence, which ultimately creates a sense of belonging and an enhanced quality of life for both them and their parents. While much work takes place in Spain, the team also reaches children in India. Launched with the Vicente Ferrer Foundation in 2010, the Anantapur Educational Center in Andhra Pradesh is based in one of India’s poorest areas. The project, which uses tennis to integrate and socialize boys and girls from local villages, has helped more than 200 children. “We strive to ensure that there is equality among them, regardless of gender or the caste they belong to,” Perello says. ere, in the classroom and on the courts, such differences don’t exist.” The second annual Rafa Nadal Golf Challenge will take place from Feb. 14-17, 2019, in Mallorca, Spain. Participants will have the chance to network with colleagues and clients from around the world while golfing, dining, and socializing at this event, exclusive to the Sotheby’s network. Upscale accommodations will be provided by the Rafa Nadal Sports Center, and players will golf at the Vall D’Or Golf course in Baleares, Spain.

SOUND AND STYLE UNITE HIGH - END HEADPHONES THAT LOOK AND SOUND GREAT igh-end headphones don’t just make the sound quality of your songs significantly better, they also serve as a stylish H accessory.
With high-tech features like noise cancellation, wireless wear, and state-of-the-art acoustics—combined with luxury design elements such as Swarovski crystals, rose gold, and hand-stitched leather—today’s headphones go way beyond basic earbuds. Here are some of the most coveted models on the market. BANG & OLUFSEN BEOPLAY H9I
Crafted from lambskin and cowhide, this leather-bound memory-foam pair has a noise-cancellation mechanism that lets you either focus on the music without ambient noise, or drown out sound completely. An intuitive touch interface means you can control everything—answer a call, adjust volume, change a song—just by touching the ear cup (it even works if you’re wearing gloves).
BEATS SOLO3 WIRELESS ON - EAR HEADPHONES
The original street-chic music wear, Beats by Dre have a gold patina and a wireless design. By holding them near your iPhone, they simultaneously connect to your Apple Watch, iPad, and Apple computer. Cushioned ear cups help cancel out noise, so you can focus on the music or take calls in stereo Bluetooth.
These Bowers & Wilkins headphones have a luxe—if retro—look.
FRENDS LAYLA ROSE GOLD
Bedecked in black Swarovski crystals, this gunmetal-andleather set combines the high touch of fashion designer Carolyn Rowan with the cutting-edge sound engineering for which Master & Dynamic is known. Fashioned from breathable lambskin-wrapped memory foam, the ear cups feature 40-millimeter neodymium drivers that deliver superior sound quality in a red carpet–worthy accessory. BOWERS & WILKINS P9 SIGNATURE
Bowers & Wilkins P9 Signatures showcase ear cups and a headband made from fine talian a ano leather and a design that bears a funky, retro feel. Meticulously constructed by sound engineers, the P9 Signatures features a stereo system that produces live-concertlike quality. SENNHEISER HD 800S
etal and plastic merge in a slee , matte-blac finish, and materials were developed in the aerospace industry to achieve durability without extra weight. A see-through mesh covering on each ear cup provides a window into the mechanism’s working. Patented absorber technology allows for even the slightest nuances in music to be heard. 64
Frends headphones are made from rose gold and leather and look like a trendy hair accessory. It’s no wonder the brand has collaborated with the likes of fashion houses such as Dolce & Gabbana and Zadig & Voltaire for custom pairs that have appeared on the runways. The caps are interchangeable, so you can swap them out for different loo s. BOSE CUSTOM QUIETCOMFORT 35 WIRELESS HEADPHONES II
Designing your dream set is easy (well, somewhat), with 26 colors and two finishes of automotive-grade paint to choose from. But these wireless headphones aren’t just about looks: Special noise-canceling technology allows you to adjust to three levels of sound drown-out, and voice-activation controls Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so you can manage your day-to-day tasks to the tune of your own personal playlist.

BETH SCHULTZ, REAL ESTATE WITH SOUL IN THE DIGITAL AGE R
emember when we actually answered our phones and read every email? Crazy, I know! In today’s world, we are faced with a daily tsunami of sales calls, emails, advertising, and social media posts. It’s no wonder many of us long for the days when the phone would only ring when someone we cared about was on the other end. What has this onslaught of non-personal communication created? In sales, it has instilled an intuitive distrust. Due to the increasingly prevalent strategy of using new media outlets for misdirection, we have become a society that is instinctively guarded; we build a defensive wall to protect ourselves from people whom we have yet to meet face to face. Nefarious salespeople bombard today’s consumers, on a daily basis, telling us what we need in order to have a meaningful existence and obtain a happy, healthy life. Strangers tell us what we need to survive and be successful. Do they really know what we need? Do they know how to tap into what makes us tick or present it in a way we will best understand?

ow do we now they are not ust pushing to fulfill and fuel their own success in the hope we take the bait? It is much easier to hide behind a screen than to look someone in the eye, between calls from recorded voices with ambiguous names to constant emails flooding inboxes with advertisements. We have morphed into consumers who no longer shake hands, look each other in the eye, speak to each other or ask questions. How many people actually get through the recorded voice without ending the call or delete the email without even opening the file If you were to ask me, I would say most. Due to the vast number of intrusions and amount of such occurrences in our busy lives, our brains have become conditioned to immediately disregard such information and both block the call on our cell phones and unsubscribe from the emails. This increasing leeriness has made gaining client trust harder than ever. The art of real human communication has begun to fall by the wayside. We long for those whom we want to spend time with

and tell our stories to. What can we do to break the barrier we have all helped to create and return to a more natural human approach that is missing not only in sales but also in our day-to-day interactions? Go back to the basics. The basics of gaining trust while having an innate capability of connecting in the rarest stripped-down form of interpersonal communication. It does not matter if one is in sales as this transcends across all professions and our personal lives. All facets of life improve when we stop talking, slow down, reach for a hand, look someone in the eye and genuinely listen to their story. Want to increase your level of personal happiness? Want to increase your level of success in the professional world? Want to understand your fellow humans on a level you never thought you could? Success comes naturally when we remove ourselves from the equation and focus on what it is we are actually asking for...trust and to be remembered. Is it ironic that we pay big money for services to help us become relevant and memorable while these ideas never physically put us in front of someone. will be the first one to say it out loud as it is not a popular trend in the world of people making millions selling us all the next big way to reach our future customer or ads posting our faces for recognition. No social media outlet, cold call, email blast or full-page ad is going to make you successful. Everyone wants to surround themselves with others that make them feel protected, seen for who they are and know, that their story is being heard. My Secret? Slow down, be the person in someone’s life who makes them feel like they are the only client or only person in the room. By nature, all of us want to be seen, heard, and understood. Be that person and success will come. As much as we may try, nothing can replace the way we are hardwired to read people’s nonverbal behavior, take that information, process it, and use it to understand the way they see, hear, and respond to what it is we are trying to convey. Once we step inside that circle with them, trust is easily obtained. Of course, the digital age cannot and should not be totally ignored. We should use the tools given to us as it is part of what helps us reach further than we ever thought possible but in the end, a simple balance must be reached. A perfect combination of both is a necessity for the success we are striving to achieve. Go back to the basics, work forward from there, open yourself to the possibility of knowing the person before you and prepare for what lies ahead.

ST. LOUIS ARCHITECTURE IS WORLD CLASS W
hen people come to t. ouis for the first time, they almost always leave in awe of the gorgeous architecture seen in our buildings and homes. St. Louis has a mix of East oast and outhern influences. oulard loo s much li e oston or Washington D.C. Lafayette Square could resemble New York with its brownstones. Ladue’s gracious estates often have pillared homes modeled after the South. Kirkwood and Webster Groves resemble the train suburbs of Chicago’s North Shore. There is something for everyone! Styles typically seen throughout the city’s core are Tudor, Spanish Revival, Italianate, Greek Revival & Beaux Arts. As we stretch out to the suburbs, these styles continue though are peppered by Mid-century homes. Sometimes St. Louis is nicknamed “Brick City.” With our rich clay deposits, St. Louis boasted 40-50 brick manufactures at its peak of brick production. The clay was of such high quality that
it could be used to build homes, create decorative terra cotta and street pavers. It was shipped throughout the country. Today, salvaged bricks from demolished homes are still highly sought-after. The neighborhood that gets people most excited to show visitors is the Central West End. Most of the homes in the CWE were built at the turn of the century when St. Louis boasted the 3rd most millionaires in the country. Other popular city neighborhoods are Tower Grove, Compton Heights, St. Louis Hills, Benton Park, and many others. All with block after block of stunning homes. St. Louisans love their traditional architecture, though the city has a tradition of embracing modern styles. The Arch’s design by Eero Saarinen was a bold move by the city over conventional arch designs. Around the same time, the city enlisted Minoru Yamasaki to design Lambert Airport. He also designed the World Trade Centers and JFK Airport. More recently

internationally celebrated architect Tadao Ando was recruited to design the Pulitzer Art Museum. This spirit of contemporary design carried over to residential architecture. The city boasts two homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a home designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen and many by esteemed local architects. One of the most celebrated and prolific t. ouis architects was William Bernoudy. Bernoudy studied under Frank Lloyd Wright and designed many homes in the West corridor. In fact, I live in the house that he designed and lived in himself in Ladue. It is a pleasure to live in a work of art. Today, St. Louis still leans towards traditional homes. There are exceptional examples of beautiful estate homes built in ildwood, hesterfield, t. Albans, Sunset Hills, Ladue, Huntleigh, Frontenac, Town and Country to name a few. In the more central suburbs like Clayton, we have many elegant in-fill homes that add to the streetscape. Contemporary and mid-century homes are gaining in popularity with buyers who crave open floor plans and large windows. Contemporary design is particularly strong in other parts of the world and nation. Just look at current furniture designs featured in magazines like Architectural Digest and it is hard to find traditional styles. t will be interesting to see how St. Louis’ design aesthetic changes in the years to come. It is an honor to be considered the “Go To” real estate expert for architecturally interesting homes in St. Louis. This could be a historic manse or a contemporary gem. I think back to some of the important properties that I have sold over the last years. he oc cliffe ansion is one of them, designed by Barnett, Haynes, and Barnett in 1898; it is located up on a bluff in annibal, issouri. he home spans over 13,500 square feet and included most of the original possessions of the lumber baron who built it. I sold several homes designed by noted mid-century architects like William Bernoudy, Harris Armstrong, Ralph Fournier and Isadore Shank in addition to recent contemporary architects like Philip Durham. I also have successfully marketed plenty of quirky properties like a church designed by Frederick Dunn, a log cabin and a water tank turned into a home. This year I participated in the sale of the most expensive home sold in St. Louis: a beautiful Clayton estate. No matter the price point I love to work with buyers and sellers of architecturally or historically interesting properties.
