he January/February 2026 issue of International Property & Magazine offers a chance to consider homes shaped by character, comfort and considered detail. At the start of a new year, conversation often turns to shifting tastes, yet what comes through in this issue is how much people continue to value spaces that feel honest, settled and thoughtfully designed.

Marbury House in Washington, D.C., once home to John F. and Jacqueline Kennedy, sets the pace with its long history and calm presence. A true celebrity residence, it reminds us that a property can be both practical and quietly meaningful, carrying the echoes of those who have shaped history. From there, our European features explore how buyers in France and Switzerland are seeking homes that feel rooted in their landscape while offering the light, materials and layouts that make modern living effortless.

London’s trophy homes continue to draw attention for their rarity, provenance and subtle statements of distinction. Beyond land, our yachting feature demonstrates how design and ease on the water are shaping the way people experience luxury at sea, offering another dimension to considered living. As 2026 begins, I hope this issue provides a measured perspective on homes and experiences that hold lasting appeal, whether you are seeking inspiration, planning a visit, or simply reading with interest.

TROPICAL ESCAPE AN AWARD-WINNING OASIS WHERE TROPICAL FANTASY MEETS DESERT LUXURY

Luxury Suite

Ras Al Khaimah is entering an exciting new era, with record tourism, global brands, and major developments reshaping its future. At the centre of this growth is the NH Collection Ras Al Khaimah Al Marjan Island Hotel & Apartments – an iconic mixed-use destination combining boutique & luxury hospitality, an expressive design, and the relaxed charm of island living. Its prime address places guests steps away from the beach, near the vibrant beach club and waterfront park, and just minutes from the upcoming Wynn Integrated Resort.

Recognised with multiple prestigious design awards, the development is celebrated for its imaginative hospitality concept. The experience begins upon arrival, where a four-metre monkey sculpture gripping the pool’s edge creates a memorable first impression. Guests then enter a soaring triple-height lobby anchored by a dramatic winged gorilla sculpture. The wings represent freedom, ascension,

TROPHY HOMES A look at how London’s most sought-after homes are defined today, from scarcity to architecture to the need for privacy

Stuart Bailey Partner and Head of Super Prime Sales Knight Frank

Alex Carr Head of Prime & Central London New Homes JLL

London – Trophy Homes

London IP&T_33N1.indd 1

ondon’s most valuable homes continue to occupy a class of their own, shaped by rarity, emotional appeal and the confidence that comes with owning something few others can. To understand how these homes are defined today, three senior figures share their insights: Stuart Bailey, Partner and Head of Super Prime Sales at Knight Frank; George Hankinson, Head of Residential at Real Estate Management (UK) Limited; and Alex Carr, Head of Prime & Central London New Homes at JLL. Stuart captures the idea neatly: “A ‘trophy home’ combines all of these physical attributes, that ultimately add up to being something distinct, noticeable, and a statement piece that reflects the buyers perception of themselves, their ‘success’, or how they would like to be perceived.” Alex echoes that sense of rarity, noting, “It’s hard to define exactly what constitutes a trophy home as there is an element of subjectivity, but they tend to be one-off or rare opportunities… Trophy homes are properties where you can’t simply replicate the address, the provenance, or the emotional impact – think £10m+ homes, where scarcity and uniqueness drives desire as much as square footage.”

Location still anchors this part of the market, though each expert sees different pockets gaining attention. Stuart points to the resilience of the long-established districts, explaining, “None really, it’s still the golden postcodes that continue

to shine, though some shine brighter, falling in and out of fashion. The vibrancy of Notting Hill remains attractive… Belgravia for its quiet garden squares… and Mayfair and Marylebone for global appeal.” Alex also acknowledges this but highlights movement elsewhere: “We have also been seeing serious interest across the river particularly along the Southbank… We’ve also seen an increase in activity in Westminster… Areas such as Fitzrovia and Marylebone have also been attracting buyers seeking trophy properties with better value than Knightsbridge or Mayfair.”

George offers a different vantage point through the lens of Shard Place, where the appeal comes from modern design paired with an unmistakably central position. As he puts it, “A trophy home in London is defined by a combination of factors. At Shard Place, this includes the development’s prime central location with landmark views of St Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, and the Thames…

Association with a globally acclaimed architect also elevates both the prestige and appeal of a home…

Finally, amenities play a crucial role… including a gym, wellness suite, 15-seat cinema, orangery, private dining room, and London’s highest outdoor swimming pool.”

Demand for ultra-prime space has followed a clear “quality-first” pattern. Stuart describes this shift directly: “There has been a distinct flight to quality, the type of property that has enduring International Property & Travel 19

under-lying asset value, that will stand the test of time…

Many London buyers look at the mid to long-term security of London real estate, and look past short term fads.” Alex has noticed a similar trend among global purchasers: “Many buyers in this space are looking for increased rarity and service offerings… There has also been more of a flight to quality with international buyers becoming more selective but deeper pocketed when they commit.”

Renters are a significant part of the picture too. George points out that flexibility has become central in neighbourhoods such as London Bridge, explaining, “There has been a noticeable shift towards short-term commitment and flexibility in the prime market, driving demand for high-quality rental accommodation… International interest remains strong…

Renting, in particular, appeals to overseas tenants seeking flexibility without the long-term commitment of buying.”

Style preferences remain split, though the balance is changing.

Stuart observes a steady appetite for both, saying, “A mixture of both, depending on requirement… classic period architecture…

Others may require a more generic ‘lock up and leave’ in a high amenity, high service, high security multi-unit development.”

Alex agrees that both sides of the spectrum command attention, though authenticity is crucial: “Period grandeur still commands premium pricing… however, we are also seeing that these discerning buyers are increasingly drawn to exceptional contemporary builds… The key is authenticity, quality and service offerings.” George, meanwhile, sees renters gravitating towards newer schemes: “Tenants are increasingly prioritising modern layouts with dedicated workspaces, wellness-focused design, energy efficiency, and integrated amenities… Unlike period properties, developments like Shard Place provide contemporary comfort, high-quality finishes, and thoughtfully curated services.”

Privacy and reassurance remain essential at the top end. Alex is clear on the expectations: “Clients at this level of the market expect comprehensive security to be in place, as well as private entrances and secure parking… They are also looking for complete transaction discretion.” George adds that, for renters, this is equally important: “Privacy, security, and discretion are non-negotiable for discerning tenants… secure access and 24/7 concierge services.”

Stuart sees a broader range of motivations, remarking, “It can be both extremes; from ‘don’t look at me’ to ‘do look at me’… But there is no doubt all buyers take security and the ability to enjoy their home in comfort, as a serious consideration.”

A new generation of wealth is shaping expectations, and this is where design innovation and environmental considerations now play a stronger part.

Alex notes, “Many of today’s ultra-high-net-worth buyers view cutting-edge sustainability features as markers of sophistication and forward thinking… smart home integration and environmental credentials are becoming status symbols.” George points to design detail as part of that progression: “At Shard Place, curated art and interiors elevate the London – Trophy Homes

London IP&T_33N1.indd 3

development’s aesthetic appeal… Every residence features bespoke, handcrafted furnishings… renters can choose from two distinct interior palettes.”

Stuart also sees younger buyers and residents looking for spaces that support their daily routine, saying, “Speed and immediacy is here and so is enjoyment of life and the spaces you occupy, wellness and fitness are in. And design needs to accommodate this… how something feels, not just how it looks.”

Across all three perspectives, London’s trophy homes continue to be defined by rarity, character, and the personal statement they allow their owners or residents to make, whether expressed through heritage, high-rise living, or the increasingly refined amenities shaping the next wave of prime homes.

Butler’s Wharf, once a major Victorian warehouse, played an important role in handling tea, coffee, fruit, silks and other imported goods arriving into London. Its brickwork, iron details and broad frontage still hint at its industrial past, giving the modern homes within a setting that retains character without feeling dated. Before its conversion into apartments by Sir Terence Conran in the late 1980s, the site became known as a base for film work and experimental art. Figures such as Kevin Atherton and Stephen Partridge used it regularly, and its exterior appeared in Doctor Who, including scenes featuring the Daleks.

ASIAN LUXE A softer yen, steady demand in major cities, and renewed interest in modern living spaces are shaping Japan’s property landscape

Japan IP&T_33N1.indd 1

aul Butkovich, Director of Real Estate Sales at H2 Christie’s International Real Estate, and Miwa Urata, Manager of Global Sales and Branding at List Sotheby’s International Realty, both offer insight into the current Japan property market, highlighting its appeal, dynamics, and emerging trends. When asked about what makes Japan attractive to investors seeking stability and long-term value, Paul explains: “Japan offers a uniquely stable and transparent property market, underpinned by a robust legal system and decades of political consistency. For long-term investors, the appeal lies in reliable rental returns - particularly in major cities - combined with historically low borrowing costs. Despite broader global volatility, Japan remains a safe haven for capital, offering steady, value-preserving potential.”

Similarly, Miwa observes: “In a world of constant uncertainty, Japan’s real estate market emits a quiet strength. Political and economic stability, coupled with a clear and transparent legal framework, provide a solid foundation for long-term investment. Japan’s uniquely low interest rates create opportunities that are hard to find elsewhere, while major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto continue to attract strong demand from both international business and tourism. Especially among our high-net-worth clients, destinations range from the snow resorts of Niseko in the north to the beach resorts of Okinawa in the south. With the yen remaining relatively weak, foreign investors

have the added advantage of acquiring high-quality properties at comparatively favourable prices. Amid shifting demographics and a resurgence in tourism, Japan’s property market quietly but steadily builds long-term value. Unfazed by short-term fluctuations, it remains an appealing choice for investors seeking stability and sustainable wealth accumulation.”

On the performance of major cities versus secondary markets, Paul notes: “Tokyo and Osaka continue to lead with strong demand, world-class infrastructure, and consistent rental yields. Fukuoka, meanwhile, has emerged as a vibrant alternative, drawing a younger demographic and a growing number of tech-forward companies. While secondary cities still offer select opportunities, investor interest remains concentrated in urban hubs with population inflow and active redevelopment initiatives.”

Miwa echoes this, adding: “These urban hubs continue to attract people, businesses, and capital from both domestic and international sources.

With stable rental demand and high liquidity, they remain the ‘blue-chip’ markets of the country.

Prices may be high, but vacancy risks are low, offering investors a sense of security and long-term value. On the other hand, secondary markets such as Sapporo, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and the greater Fukuoka area offer an appeal all their own. While they may lack the overwhelming draw of major cities, these areas offer opportunities to invest at lower entry costs, often with relatively higher yields. Depending on demographic trends and redevelopment initiatives, some of these markets may even offer greater growth potential than their larger counterparts.”

PROPERTY & TRAVEL

The demand for modern rental units, despite a declining population, is being driven by lifestyle and household trends. Paul observes: “Although Japan’s population is shrinking, lifestyle shifts are transforming the rental landscape. A rise in single-occupancy households and increasing demand for design-led, smartequipped apartments are fuelling interest in modern units. Tenants now prioritise comfort, convenience, and location over size - making new developments especially attractive in urban areas.” Miwa agrees: “Japan’s population may be shrinking, but demand for modern rental units in urban areas continues to rise. Major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka remain magnets for workers and students, while the increase in single-person and small households drives demand for compact, well-equipped apartments. At the same time, lifestyle preferences are shifting tenants increasingly value comfort, design, and convenience, making new or renovated properties more desirable than older ones.”

Japan offers a uniquely stable and transparent property market, underpinned by a robust legal system and decades of political consistency Regarding the repurposing of older buildings, Paul comments: “Developers are revitalising aging structures by converting them into energy-efficient, multifunctional spaces. Office buildings are being transformed into contemporary apartments, while mixed-use projects integrate co-working spaces, retail, and residential units. This approach reflects Japan’s broader commitment to sustainability, innovation, and the evolution of its urban environments.” Miwa adds: “Older offices and commercial buildings are

being transformed into residential units, hotels, co-working spaces, or mixeduse developments. Some projects take advantage of relaxed building regulations to add floors or enhance the design through creative conversions, creating new urban value. Additionally, environmentally friendly features and smart technologies are often incorporated, bringing these structures in line with contemporary city living. By giving vacant and aging buildings a ‘second life,’ cities regain vibrancy, and investors discover new opportunities.”

The weaker yen has influenced investment patterns, with Paul noting: “The weaker yen has opened a golden window for international buyers, making Japanese properties more accessible and offering excellent value when converted from foreign currencies. Conversely, domestic buyers face a more cautious market environment. As inflationary pressures increase, many are turning to real estate as a stable, long-term store of value.”

Miwa observes: “In recent years, the weakening of the yen has subtly reshaped Japan’s real estate market. From an international perspective, Japanese properties now appear relatively affordable, drawing strong interest from foreign investors, particularly in high-end properties in Tokyo and Osaka. This influx of capital has invigorated the market and created new opportunities for transactions. On the other hand, domestic buyers may feel a heavier burden. Rising import costs and higher prices for construction materials, driven by the weaker yen, can increase the cost of purchasing or building a home, impacting affordability.”

Looking ahead to 2026, Paul states: “Japan’s property outlook for 2026 is being shaped by progressive policies and technological advancement. The government is championing sustainable urban development, smart infrastructure, and improved transparency for foreign investors. At the same time, tech-driven platforms and data-led planning are modernising the sector, creating a landscape that supports both lifestylefocused buyers and institutional investors.”

Miwa concurs: “In 2026, Japan’s residential and commercial real estate markets are poised for transformation, driven by multiple emerging trends. Urban redevelopment and support for the renovation of aging buildings are enhancing property values in city centres, creating increasingly attractive investment opportunities. At the same time, stricter environmental regulations and carbon-neutral policies are pushing new construction and renovation projects toward sustainable design and operations.

Changes in mortgage programs and tax incentives are also influencing both purchasing and investment decisions.

Supported by a weaker yen and the high liquidity of major cities, foreign investor interest remains strong. Meanwhile, lifestyle shifts such as the widespread adoption of remote work and the rise of single-person households are driving demand for compact, well-equipped residences and flexible office or commercial spaces. Together, these layered factors, urban redevelopment, sustainability policies, tax and financing changes, investment trends, and evolving lifestyles are set to reshape Japan’s real estate landscape in 2026, creating new value and opportunities across the market.”

This combined perspective underscores how Japan’s property market remains both resilient and adaptive, balancing traditional stability with modern demands and innovation.

IMPROVED COMFORT The latest version of the Pardo 43 builds on the strengths that made the first model so popular, shaping a boat that feels familiar yet more polished.

The hull has been refreshed with new windows that brighten the cabins, while the exterior gains a sleeker outline thanks to a revised sheer line and altered air intakes.

On deck, the updated galley, deeper stern sunpad and a forward bench create a more relaxed setting for time afloat. A redesigned dashboard and new control interface make handling more straightforward, and structural tweaks give the hardtop a cleaner, sturdier look, ensuring confident cruising with comfort and ease.

Life inside has also improved. Two layout choices suit different habits, with better ventilation, upgraded shades and tidier finishes throughout. The aft cabin is roomier, and added touches such as ambient lighting and extra storage give the interior a calmer feel. Modern fittings, including optional stabilisation, updated climate control and the choice between IPS or outboard power, shape a boat made for easy, comfortable days on the water.

Pardo www.pardoyachts.com

Elegant Voyage At 80ft, the Zeelander 8 is the builder’s most ambitious yacht to date, and perhaps its most refined. The exterior’s trademark curves are matched inside by a clean, fluid interior that balances engineering with comfort. Each hull is tailored to its owner, and the first is a masterclass in restraint: white Alcantara, gloss cabinetry, leather trim, and pale Corian surfaces come together in quietly confident fashion.

There’s scale, too. The main deck offers expansive dining and lounging space, while three plush cabins lie below. A king-size owner’s suite sits amidships, wrapped in light and wood-grain composite finishes that mimic macassar ebony, minus the upkeep.

Smart layout choices, like the repositioned bar and galley, give the yacht a custom feel throughout, while thoughtful storage and transitions between spaces speak to Zeelander’s exacting standards. Even the crew quarters can be dressed for guest use.

William Nicholson Pallant House, the charming gallery located in the famous cathedral town of Chichester, has just announced its programme for 2026 including British Landscapes: A Sense of Place which explores works from 1910 to 1970 and will showcase works by Ivon Hitchens, Graham Sutherland, Eric Ravilious and Paul Nash among other greats.

Currently on show there is a slightly lesser known but nevertheless important British painter, William Nicholson (1872-1949). The first major presentation of Nicholson’s work since 2004, it looks at his career and the versatility of his artistic vision. The exhibition considers his spectacular output, from his acclaimed prints and book illustrations to his sensitive portraits, still life and landscapes, Nicholson’s paintings feature dazzling brushwork and exquisite colours that speak of his delight in the observation of his subjects.

Visitors will discover how his art responded to the shifting politics and society of his day – from the upheaval of the First World War to his close ties to London’s theatre scene.

They are the work of Niki de Saint Phalle who shares this new exhibition with her much betterknown partner the Swiss sculptor Jean Tinguely. No two artists could be more different. In contrast to Saint Phalle’s giant dancing girls and golden altarpieces, Tinguely’s kinetic sculptures look a bit weary.

Made from odds and ends of (often recycled) metal, they seem to have had their day not only as useful tools but as art experiences. They

are too old now to be set in motion other than very briefly, which was originally part of their appeal. The exhibition also features unseen works on paper and art decor

by Saint Phalle and three of her famous “shooting paintings”. She made these by firing a rifle at bags of paint pinned to a wooden or plaster surface resulting in a form of drip painting. These do ‘work’, unlike the kinetic sculptures.

Saint Phalle rather steals the show with works that are a great deal more entertaining than Tinguely’s broken down contraptions.

interpretations of themes ranging from the slave trade to everyday life. “I’ve always wanted to be a history painter on grand scale like Giotto and Gericault,” he has said.

His figures are “unapologetically” black. Despite training as an artist at a time in the 1970s when representation was being abandoned and conceptualism was all the rage, he remains to this day a figurative artist.

The RA has ordered his works into galleries that deal with themes such as Middle Passage – the treacherous Atlantic crossings seen in five dreamlike canvases – The Painting of Modern Life and Africa Revisited. Souvenirs, four paintings set in the middle class homes of Marshall’s friends, commemorate 1960s martyrs such as Martin Luther but they also tell of unrealised dreams and real achievements.

The somewhat exhausted angels with glittery wings that hover over the domestic scenes may be a play on Renaissance Annunciations but they don’t really bring joyful news. The penultimate gallery Africa Revisited with paintings made specifically for this show, is a rare and brave record of the slave trade as practised by blacks themselves. Five of them show people kidnapping children, rowing captives in a canoe to trade with people out of shot and returning with gaudy consumer booty. One work depicts the murder of Shaka

My personal view is that the second gallery, called Invisible Man, contains the absolute gems of this show. Marshall had read Emerson’s 1952 novel Invisible Man in which the protagonist, a Black man, feels he is not visible to white American society. It was

a turning point for Marshall who responded with a series of works setting Black figures on black grounds. In some only white eyes and teeth grin through. In another all we see is a vacuum cleaner in a room with a tiny self portrait of Marshall hanging on the wall, showing how even The Help was invisible to the middle class (white) employer.

It’s a grand undertaking and the RA has done a magnificent job – don’t miss it.

CELEBRATIONS OF CONSTABLE This year marks the 250th anniversary of Suffolk-born John Constable (1776-1837), one of Britain’s most loved and influential painters.

To celebrate, several major exhibitions are underway. Chief among them is Tate Britain’s Turner and Constable, uniting two giants – Constable and his fierce rival J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851). It may seem surprising now, but their battleground was the highly competitive world of landscape painting: Turner, the prodigy who entered the Royal Academy at 14, pursued blazing, impressionistic visions from his travels, while Constable doggedly sought realism in a handful of cherished locales.

The Tate has gathered more than 170 paintings and works on paper, including Turner’s The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons (1835), not seen in Britain for over a century, and Constable’s celebrated The White Horse (1819).

It’s a monumental show, though to modern eyes Constable may fare less well. The exhibition runs until April and will be reviewed fully in our next edition.

Meanwhile, visitors won’t find Constable’s most famous work, The Hay Wain, at the Tate. The 1821 National Gallery masterpiece – painted in a London studio – has never travelled to the county it portrays. To address this, Colchester + Ipswich Museums are staging Constable 250, a trio of exhibitions featuring major UK loans.

In Ipswich, The Hay Wain will be reunited with its preparatory sketches.

Its idyllic view – a horse and cart crossing the Stour beside Willy Lott’s House – remains strikingly true to the landscape Constable knew so well. www.tate.org.uk www.ipswich.cimuseums.org.uk

MARIE ANTOINETTE ART & CULTURE

She may not have been the monster imagined by the revolutionaries who sent her to the guillotine, but Marie Antoinette was still the architect of her own ruin. Her extravagance in a starving country hastened her downfall, and although she never uttered “let them eat cake,” the phrase neatly captures her tone-deaf attitude.

The current V&A show offers little historical insight but – as the title says – it’s all about style rather than substance. The opening rooms overflow with the improbable dresses and towering hairstyles of Versailles, some so wide they required altered doorways. The mood then shifts abruptly: a blood-red passage charts her death, complete with a guillotine blade. Moments later, as if this never happened, visitors are swept into a gallery celebrating her legacy in film and fashion, with even more impossibly lavish gowns. There are, of course, beauties among the 250 objects on display. Two extraordinary diamond necklaces containing 14-carat gems glitter with near-blinding intensity. Personal possessions of the queen include a piano, perfume bottles and a feeding cup modelled from her breast.

The Crazy Flower presents layers of diamonds that move with the wrist, echoing the gentle sway of frangipani petals. Each corolla is fashioned by hand so the stones shift with a light touch. The dial is fully paved and carries curved hands shaped to follow its form. A ring of diamonds guides the reading of time, and the slim movement beneath is visible through a sapphire back with a finely worked platinum weight.

The Perles Impériales centres on Akoya pearls valued for their glow and perfect roundness. Diamonds surround the case within heart shaped claws cut and polished by hand. An opal dial softens the light, and a pearl at six o’clock mirrors the curve of the case. A bracelet formed from pearls and gold gently completes the design.

EUROPEAN SPECIAL

Design-led Homes

France and Switzerland are seeing shifts in demand and pricing, driven by buyer preferences and current economic conditions

Neil Tuckwell Sales Agent Leggett Immobilier

he property market in France’s mountain regions continues to evolve as buyers look for homes that feel rooted in their surroundings while still offering comfort and space. Two specialists working at the centre of this market share their observations. Olivier Roche, CEO & Head of Sales at Megève Sotheby’s International Realty, and Neil Tuckwell, Sales Agent at Leggett Immobilier, describe the expectations shaping today’s Alpine homes.

When asked what defines a “design-led” mountain home in France, Olivier explains that it is a blend of premium materials, carefully planned architecture, and lifestyle focus. Olivier says: “In the French

82 International Property & Travel

Europe IP&T_33N1.indd 1

market, a “design-led” mountain home is defined by a harmonious blend of high-quality materials, thoughtful architectural layout, and a strong emphasis on lifestyle appeal. These homes typically feature contemporary materials and finishes such as large picture windows that frame the alpine landscape and natural stone facades that combine durability with modern elegance. They also include an open and fluid layout, with a spacious living area and an open-plan kitchen seamlessly connected to the lounge and dining space, fostering conviviality and maximising natural light. Comfort-oriented design is central too, with en suite bedrooms offering privacy and comfort, complemented by dedicated wellness areas such as spa zones or swimming pools, which are increasingly sought after by clients.

This approach reflects a growing demand for homes that not only respect the mountain environment but European Special – France

12/12/2025 16:21

EUROPEAN SPECIAL also elevate the everyday living experience through refined aesthetics and well-being.”

Neil describes the same idea through a different lens. Neil says: “A true design-led mountain home isn’t defined by any one element – it’s about how the space feels. In the French Alps, that usually means expansive interiors that breathe, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and materials that are honest, tactile, and natural. Think glass walls that pull in the view, clean architectural lines, and spaces that feel as calm as the landscape they sit in. The best homes don’t try too hard.

They simply belong.”

Regarding performance in the secondhome market, Olivier highlights strong long-term appeal in key resorts.

Olivier says: “Properties in the French Alps perform exceptionally well in the secondary home market. In sought-after resorts such as Megève, Courchevel, Méribel, Alpe d’Huez, and Les Deux Alpes, they represent a safe and long-term investment, driven by steady demand and strong international appeal. Their value is supported by several factors: strategic location, premium amenities, and high seasonal rental potential. These homes attract both French buyers and international investors, which helps sustain strong price levels even in a highly competitive market.”

Neil adds that while these homes do not always sell quickly, their appeal is lasting. Neil says: “They perform exceptionally well - though not always in the fastest way. These aren’t impulse buys. They speak to buyers who value architecture, intention, and quality. When the right match comes along, it’s a strong one. These homes hold their value over time because great design doesn’t date, and they appeal to a growing global audience with increasingly refined taste.”

International buyers have become key in shaping new developments. Olivier says: “Yes, international buyers are increasingly influencing the architectural direction of new mountain developments in France.

Their expectations shape projects by emphasising aesthetics such as clean lines, large windows, and contemporary finishes that highlight the alpine landscape, European Special – France

comfort expressed through spacious layouts, en-suite bedrooms, and dedicated wellness areas such as spas or pools, and energy performance supported by modern insulation, efficient heating systems, and sustainable materials, reflecting a growing demand for environmentally responsible homes. This influence encourages developers to combine traditional alpine charm with modern standards, ensuring that properties meet both local authenticity and global lifestyle expectations.”

lifestyle they will enjoy during their stay.

By showcasing interiors in this way, the design features – spacious living areas, refined finishes, and cosy details – are brought to life and resonate more strongly with prospective buyers.”

Neil underscores the role of narrative. Neil says: “It’s not about ticking boxes - it’s about telling the story. We spotlight the why behind the design: the way light travels through the space, how the terrace connects to the living room, the way the materials feel under your hand. Stunning photography is vital, but the emotional narrative matters just as much. Buyers respond when they can picture life in the home – not just the square footage.”

Current interior and exterior preferences continue to shift. Olivier says: “Yes, buyers increasingly favour homes that combine modern comfort and spacious layouts with the authentic atmosphere of the mountains. They appreciate large, open living areas, contemporary finishes, and practical amenities, but still want to preserve the alpine spirit through fireplaces, extensive use of wood, and warm, natural tones. This balance between modern design and traditional mountain charm is what makes properties particularly attractive in today’s market.”

Neil shares a similar perspective. Neil says: “Without question. International buyers – especially from the UK, northern Europe, and North America – are bringing sharper design expectations. They want natural light, efficient layouts, and a sense of ease. Developers have responded, blending traditional Alpine elements with more contemporary ideas: open plan living, energy efficiency, expansive glazing. The result? A new Alpine aesthetic that feels both rooted and refined.”

Neil notes related tendencies. Neil says: “Absolutely. Interiors are leaning toward a warm, pared-back aesthetic - lots of timber, stone, soft neutrals, and layered textures.

It’s minimalist, but not cold. Buyers want a place that calms the senses. On the outside, sustainable materials are having a moment: larch cladding, metal roofing, and floorto-ceiling sliding doors. Flexible spaces are also key now - home gyms, offices, secondary lounges - reflecting how people want to use these homes year-round.”

Marketing strategies also reflect an emphasis on atmosphere. Olivier says: “Agents highlight design quality by carefully staging chalets and apartments before they are presented to potential buyers. This includes lighting fireplaces, arranging candles, and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The objective is to allow clients to project themselves into the property, imagining the comfort and

The question of balance between modern design and tradition remains central.

Olivier says: “Today, the market directly penalises properties that do not meet the expectations of a client coming to the mountains. Such a client does not wish to find the design of their apartment in London or New York. What they seek above all is that unique mountain atmosphere. The balance has a direct International Property & Travel 83

impact on a property’s attractiveness. Homes that successfully combine modern, functional design with authentic mountain elements are highly sought after. Buyers appreciate spacious layouts, open living areas, and contemporary finishes, while still valuing traditional features such as wood and fireplaces that preserve the alpine atmosphere.

Olivier Roche

CEO & Head of sales Megève Sotheby’s International Realty

Conversely, properties that feel too dated - with small, compartmentalised rooms or designs lacking modern comfort - tend to be less desirable in today’s market. Ensuring this equilibrium between innovation and tradition is therefore essential to maximise both interest and long-term value.”

Neil expresses the same idea from his own viewpoint. Neil says: “It’s everything. If a house feels out of step with its surroundings, it loses buyers instantly. But when a modern home honours the Alpine vernacular - steep roofs, raw materials, a muted palette - it just works. That harmony creates something timeless. The most successful homes feel contemporary without shouting. They’re grounded, quiet, and deeply connected to where they are - and that’s what makes people fall in love.”

Maxime Dubus Managing Director SPG One, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate

witzerland’s property market continues to attract strong attention from both Swiss and international buyers seeking homes that reflect the Alpine environment while meeting present-day expectations. Maxime Dubus, Managing Director of SPG One, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, and Edouard Fragnière, UHNWI Sales Director at Switzerland Sotheby’s International Realty, describe the features that define current demand and the factors shaping architectural trends across the country’s most sought-after regions.

Maxime explains that “Buyers are generally drawn to a fusion of modern comfort and authentic Alpine character. The most sought-after features typically include panoramic mountain views, large, glazed surfaces (picture windows, open facades) to maximise natural light, spacious south-facing balconies and terraces, natural materials such as reclaimed timber (inside and outside), natural stone walls, and local slate roofing, traditional dual-pitched roof structures, fireplaces or wood-burning stoves to enhance the mountain ambience, and wellness facilities such as saunas, steam rooms, outdoor jacuzzis, massage rooms, and swimming pools, particularly in high-end second homes.”

Edouard observes similar preferences and notes that “Buyers in Switzerland’s mountain regions are

90 International Property & Travel

Europe IP&T_33N1.indd 1

generally drawn to properties that reinterpret the traditional chalet aesthetic with a contemporary touch. This often means the use of aged or reclaimed wood, natural stone elements such as slate, and large fireplaces that anchor the living space. Modern mountain homes also prioritise large windows, allowing panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and creating a seamless connection with nature.

The interior design tends to avoid strong colours in favour of warm, neutral tones, shades of brown, beige, and soft greys, which enhance the cosy, serene atmosphere typical of high-end alpine properties.”

Balancing Alpine character with modern expectations remains central to most projects.

Maxime describes how “Buyers increasingly aim to strike a balance between tradition and modernity.

This is often referred to as the ‘contemporary chalet’ style, where the exterior maintains an Alpine identity, with a traditional pitched roof, two-thirds timber cladding, and a natural stone base. The interior adopts a minimalist design with open-plan volumes and large windows. Small, dark, enclosed rooms are no longer desirable. Architects tend to use a neutral colour palette and raw, natural materials, while integrating modern technologies (home automation, high-performance insulation, LEDs).

This approach preserves regional identity while delivering contemporary comfort and sustainability.”

Edouard adds that preferences vary according to background, explaining that “Clients looking for mountain homes in Switzerland include both European Special – Switzerland

12/12/2025 15:56

EUROPEAN SPECIAL Swiss buyers and a significant number of international residents or second-home owners. Their design preferences often reflect their own cultural backgrounds, which creates a natural blend between traditional alpine charm and more contemporary influences. While the exterior typically respects the traditional chalet character, in line with local architectural requirements, the interiors can vary greatly. We have seen beautifully designed chalets featuring subtle oriental touches, as well as others embracing a more minimalistic, modern aesthetic.”

Swiss mountain homes are increasingly combining traditional Alpine style with modern comfort, as experts highlight the trends shaping high-end chalets

The split between second homes and full-time residences also shapes buying patterns. Maxime notes that “In the Swiss Alpine regions, the majority of design-led properties are purchased as second homes, particularly in resorts such as Verbier, Zermatt, Crans-Montana, Nendaz, Villars, and Davos. However, in areas that are easily accessible year-round, such as central Valais, the upper Montreux region, or the Bernese Oberland, demand is increasing for contemporary primary residences. This is particularly true among Swiss buyers and expatriates seeking a high quality of life in the mountains.” Edouard explains the influence of national rules, stating that “In Switzerland’s mountain regions, the most sought-after properties are typically those that are eligible as second homes.”

Many international buyers, and even Swiss residents, look for a design-led chalet as a holiday retreat rather than a full-time residence. However, Swiss law places strict limitations on the construction and sale of large secondary residences. As a result, the most spacious and architecturally sophisticated chalets often can only be designated as primary residences. This means that while demand for second homes is extremely high, many of the most impressive design-led properties, due to their size and specifications, end up being purchased by those who plan to live in them year-round.”

UHNWI Sales Director Switzerland Sotheby’s International Realty

Natural materials remain central to the appeal and value of Alpine homes.

Maxime explains that “The use of natural materials clearly increases the appeal and perceived value of a property. Woods such as larch, oak, and aged spruce provide warmth and authenticity. Reclaimed wood remains the most sought-after, but also the most expensive. Local stone conveys a sense of solidity and prestige. These materials enhance the authentic Alpine character of a chalet and allow it to blend harmoniously into the landscape.

Their use is also frequently required by local planning authorities. For example, in Verbier (Bagnes municipality), regulations require that chalet facades be clad two-thirds in wood and one-third in natural stone or render. Roofs must also be dual pitched. From a pricing standpoint, properties combining authentic materials and high-end finishes can sell for 10-20% more than standard constructions. However, it is common for chalets to undergo renovation after purchase.” Edouard shares that “Natural materials such as aged timber, stone, and slate are absolutely central to the aesthetic of Alpine architecture, and they remain major drivers of buyer interest.

Most clients are strongly attracted to chalets that retain these authentic elements, especially when they have been renovated to a high standard. A beautifully restored property that blends traditional materials with modern comforts typically commands a significant premium, both because of its rarity and the craftsmanship involved. That said, purchasing a chalet that requires renovation can also be a very good investment. Many buyers appreciate the opportunity to customise the interiors with the natural materials they prefer, 92 International Property & Travel

Europe IP&T_33N1.indd 3

Buyers are generally drawn to a fusion of modern comfort and authentic Alpine character while respecting the traditional Alpine character. Once renovated with highquality timber, stone, and contemporary finishes, these properties often see a notable increase in value.”

Sustainability plays an increasing part in buyer decisions. Maxime explains that “Yes, significantly. Both Swiss and international buyers are increasingly attentive to high-performance insulation and triple-glazed windows, eco-friendly heating systems such as heat pumps, geothermal systems, and solar panels, energy certification labels such as Minergie or Minergie-P, and the use of locally certified timber and recyclable materials.

This trend is reinforced by cantonal regulations promoting low-energy buildings. If a chalet does not yet include environmentally friendly systems, buyers often plan to install them.” Edouard reinforces this development, saying “Absolutely. In recent years, we’ve seen a clear increase in demand for energyefficient and environmentally conscious design in the Swiss Alps. This trend is driven not only by buyer preference but also by Swiss regulations, which strongly encourage sustainable construction.

Properties that are not energy-efficient

will face stricter requirements and potential sanctions in the coming years, so many buyers prefer homes that are already compliant. As a result, chalets with modern insulation, heat pumps, solar panels, or high-performance windows are becoming especially attractive. Buyers appreciate knowing they won’t have to undertake major upgrades later, and energy-efficient chalets often hold their value better over time.”

Maxime highlights forward-thinking regions, noting that Valais, Grisons, the Bernese Oberland, the Vaud Alps, and the Engadine each show distinct approaches to combining local character with presentday design. Edouard draws attention to one market in particular, saying “One of the standout regions is Gstaad. While it is known for its traditional chalet aesthetic and strict architectural guidelines, it has also become a benchmark for high-end contemporary mountain design. Gstaad attracts an international clientele with very high expectations, which naturally pushes the market toward innovation in materials, energy efficiency, and design sophistication. As a result, it sets the tone for what luxury, design-led mountain living can look like in Switzerland.”

ihovar represents far more than a residential development – it is the renaissance of a place with soul. Led by Trigema, one of the leaders of Czech real estate development and an investment company with a broad portfolio ranging from premium leisure resorts to the newly established Trigema Fund, the project transforms the historic Fischl & Sons distillery of 1880 into a new urban quarter that both honours its industrial heritage and defines the future of metropolitan living.

Situated on the southern edge of Prague’s city centre, directly on the banks of the Vltava River with views over Císařská louka and close to the planned Dvorecký Bridge, the location balances nature, accessibility, and urban energy. Lihovar thus becomes a new gateway

to the city. The architectural vision – shaped through Trigema’s long-term collaboration David Černý and Black’n’Arch, renowned for blending architecture and art – captures the authentic spirit of the former distillery and reimagines it as a vibrant neighbourhood full of character and experiences.

This “urban factory for living” integrates housing, gastronomy, design, culture, and community, turning a once-neglected industrial brownfield into a lively destination that elevates the entire Smíchov Riverside district. Across three phases, the project will deliver 578 apartments by 2027. The completed North phase offers 246 units – from compact one-bedroom homes to generous penthouses – arranged around a landscaped courtyard with a community orchard and public passage.

Each building has its own architectural identity such as the signature “Flaska” building, shaped like an inverted bottle in homage to the site’s heritage. A preserved railway siding, once supplying the distillery with raw materials, now forms a symbolic axis connecting all stages of construction, further celebrated by a southern entrance scaled to a locomotive.

At the heart of the development is an authentic food market and cultural hall inspired by traditional community marketplaces, creating natural encounters between residents and visitors. The industrial character permeates the architecture – from brick facades and chimneys to sawtooth roofs and expansive windows. Original features,

including the 56-metre chimney, are being repurposed, with one transformed into a public observation tower. Interiors embrace honest materials and generous glazing; apartments feature Boen wood flooring, Laufen sanitary ware, and Italian ceramics, while furnished rental units are equipped with contemporary design furniture by Vitra, Gubi, and Muuto, complemented by lighting from Flos and Lasvit.

Through the sensitive integration of history, architecture, design, and community life and thanks to Trigema’s long-term strategic vision – Lihovar stands as both a tribute to Prague’s industrial past and a confident vision of its contemporary urban future.

aterfall City, situated in Gauteng, South Africa, is the largest mixed-use development in Africa and the most expansive property development in South African history.

Spanning 2,200 hectares, this visionary development will ultimately integrate over 28,000 residential units, expected to house around 80,000 residents, along with approximately 2.5million square meters of Gross Leasable Area (GLA) dedicated to commercial, retail, logistics and office spaces, which will accommodate another 95,000 people. Strategically located between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and accessible via the M1, N1 and N3 highways, Waterfall City benefits from over R1 billion in infrastructure upgrades, including the Allandale interchange, Africa’s first large-scale free-flow system.

At the heart of the development lies the Mall of Africa, a landmark retail hub offering

130,000m² of space and housing more than 300 stores, restaurants and entertainment venues. The design draws inspiration from the African continent’s natural beauty, blending contemporary architecture with landscaped public areas. Waterfall City’s urban planning integrates residential, commercial and leisure spaces, promoting an active and connected lifestyle. Its eleven residential estates, from the exclusive Waterfall Equestrian Estate and luxurious Ellipse Waterfall apartments to the lock-up-and-go sectional title Munyaka Estate, cater to diverse lifestyles. The city also features world-class amenities including schools, hospitals, hotels, parks, gyms, retail precincts and even a heliport.

Built on sustainable principles, Waterfall City boasts 32 green-rated buildings, rainwater harvesting, solar infrastructure, and advanced waste and energy systems. Combining innovation, connectivity and human-centric

design, Waterfall City represents a thriving, future-focused community where people can live, work and play in harmony.

Within this larger city framework, Waterfall Country Estate and Waterfall Country Village Estate provide residential living that combines security, sustainability, and lifestyle amenities tailored to their communities.

Waterfall Country Estate, the largest portion of the residential component, spans close to 500 hectares along the Jukskei River.

It comprises 934 hilltop and riverside stands with 75 hectares of greenbelt, fishing dams, over 35km of hiking and biking trails, picnic spots, and play parks. Four gatehouses provide biometrically controlled access, and all cluster housing complexes – The Sheds, The Villas, and Waterfall Crescent – are situated within the estate. Children can safely walk or cycle to Reddam House or Curro private schools within the secure perimeter.

Waterfall Country Village Estate lies across the road in the northernmost section of Waterfall City. It features 784 stands, 50 hectares of greenbelt, and two gatehouses with biometric access. Its 4,900m² clubhouse overlooks a fivehectare lake for non-motorised water sports and includes a gym, climbing wall, heated lap pool, squash courts, group exercise studios, The Falls restaurant, children’s play area, management offices, boardrooms, and security control rooms.

Residential architecture adheres to the Highveld vernacular design, emphasising climate-responsive materials and passive solar principles, with north-facing homes, cross ventilation, double glazing, insulation, shaded windows, and water features to reduce HVAC requirements. The estates’ thoughtful design and proactive management uphold long-term property value, environmental sustainability, and lifestyle quality for all residents.

olf Storen AG by indra+scherrer involved constructing an annex in Sennwald to expand the company’s facilities.

The extension included modern office spaces and a multifunctional event room. Its primary purpose was to relocate existing offices into the new building, allowing the showroom in the original premises to be enlarged. The new spaces accommodated staff and provided flexible areas for meetings, presentations, and events. The client required a functional and contemporary design that reflected the company’s identity while supporting both daily operations and future growth. A smooth and coherent connection to the existing building was also essential.

The design process began with sketches exploring dynamic geometries and nonstandard volumes, developing into a sculptural form inspired by folded shapes, similar to

origami. Slanted lines, overheight floors, and a façade shifting with light and shadow define the building, with exposed concrete and the interplay of transparency and mass reinforcing its expressive form.

Located in the industrial zone of Sennwald near the A13 motorway, the headquarters occupies a highly visible position. Its bold geometry contrasts with surrounding commercial buildings, creating a striking architectural presence.

The floor plan balances openness and functionality: the ground floor includes a reception and workspaces, two upper floors house flexible office areas, and the top floor provides a social hub with panoramic views and glass balconies. Structured metal cladding, glass elements, and custom PVC windows respond to complex geometry and environmental conditions, combining aesthetic precision with practicality and performance.

Top´Rezidence Pomezí

n 2016, KKCG Real Estate Group launched a two-round international architectural workshop to create the masterplan for Top ’Rezidence Pomezi. Twelve architectural studios from five countries, including the Czech Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Denmark, were invited to propose a new model of residential living at the foot of Vidoule Hill. The winning concept, Living in Greenery, came from Bogle Architects (UK/ CZ) and was developed in collaboration with Baumschlager Eberle Architekten (AT), Pavel Hnilička Architects+Planners (CZ), and majo architekti (CZ). Together, the studios produced a comprehensive urban and architectural strategy balancing density, ecology, and aesthetics while respecting the natural character of the landscape.

KKCG Real Estate Group set out to create a living environment that connected contemporary architecture with the

surrounding landscape in line with sustainable development principles. The revised masterplan reduced the 2008 scheme’s density by 35 per cent, to 150 apartments, 38 terraced houses, and five family villas, while the built-up area decreased by 30 per cent.

The project was guided by clear criteria: lowenergy or passive housing standards, consistent architectural quality, walkable public spaces, a central park, and a close relationship with the natural setting.

Top ’Rezidence Pomezi was conceived for residents who value design, privacy, and quality of life. Every unit was sold before completion, demonstrating strong demand. Buyers appreciated the project’s low-energy features, smart-home technology (Loxone), scenic views, and proximity to nature.

The development lies in a quiet part of Košíře in Prague 5, at the foot of Vidoule Table Mountain and alongside the Košíře-Motol Nature Park, offering open views towards the

The setting supports an active lifestyle, from walking through the nearby Prokopské údolí Valley to tennis at TK Cibulka or golf at GC Prague–Motol. top’rezidence Pomezi represents a forward-looking model of urban living where architecture, landscape, and community are thoughtfully integrated – and within this concept, its flagship residence, Villa Belaire, gives the vision tangible form.

Villa Belaire represents the flagship of Top ’Rezidence Pomezi, selected by KKCG Real Estate Group as the showcase villa within the development. Fully furnished and styled with bespoke interior design, it highlights elegance, space, and refined atmosphere.

Positioned to attract the highest-tier clientele, the villa embodies architectural sophistication and premium comfort.

The four-bedroom house combines a study, wellness facilities, and a living room with a six-metre ceiling. The upper floor houses three bedrooms and the study, while the lower level

Landscaping by Flera studio, led by Ferdinand Leffler, was realised in autumn 2024 and completed in spring 2025. The garden, following the terrain’s elevations, offers year-round colour, privacy, and views of Prague’s skyline.

Situated at the top of the development, Villa Belaire enjoys panoramic views of Prague and the green slopes of Vidoule Hill. Generous glazing and terraces connect the interior with the landscape, creating a backdrop of metropolitan life and calm.

Marvista THE PORT

arvista Port is located on a sloped plot along the coastline of Mersin, a condition that initially posed a challenge but ultimately informed a layered and responsive design strategy. The natural gradient of the site was embraced and transformed into an advantage, allowing for a dynamic landscape design and a terraced organisation of public and semi-public zones.

At ground level, the building integrates commercial units with public outdoor spaces, activating the street edge and enhancing the project’s connection to its urban context. This creates a lively interface between the building and its surroundings, supporting daily urban life while offering flexible use scenarios. The commercial layer not only brings vibrancy to the project but also fosters a sense of neighbourhood and belonging.

The facade features a series of curved balconies that break the rigidity of the plan and introduce a fluid architectural language

that responds to light, view, and wind, while enhancing the building’s passive performance.

Wooden-textured vertical fins provide solar shading and privacy, while transparent glass railings maintain uninterrupted sea views, reinforcing the building’s connection to its environment. The top floor serves as a shared sky terrace, featuring a café, pool, and lounging areas, creating an elevated communal space.

Marvista Loft is a multi-block residential complex located in the vibrant Mezitli district of Mersin, Turkey. From the outset of the design process, the client requested a living environment that offers high standards of comfort, a contemporary architectural approach, and strong integration with nature.

Accordingly, the primary objective of the project is to create a housing development that carefully considers the site’s natural topography and climatic conditions, seamlessly combining modern aesthetics with functionality and enduring appeal.

The project is designed primarily for residential use, offering a variety of unit types to accommodate different family structures, including two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments. While the primary purpose is permanent residence, the client also envisioned the potential for short-term luxury rentals, which required a degree of flexibility in the planning.

All residential units include large balconies and private terraces oriented towards optimal views, ensuring maximum daylight and natural ventilation. Landscape design incorporates walking paths, seating zones, recreational areas, and water features such as streams and reflective pools, which enhance visual character and contribute to microclimatic cooling. The sloped terrain was used to position residential

blocks at varying elevations, improving privacy, access to sunlight, and sea views, while creating a stepped, organic relationship between buildings and landscape.

Curvilinear facades and soft-edged balconies give the complex a distinctive architectural identity, while clear circulation, centralised parking, and comprehensive security infrastructure maintain convenience, comfort, and safety throughout.

Shared amenities include fitness and wellness zones, children’s play areas, and landscaped gardens, reinforcing a communityoriented lifestyle. By combining functionality, aesthetic quality, and contextual sensitivity, Marvista Loft establishes a modern, highquality residential environment integrated with Mersin’s Mediterranean setting.

illa Le Bois Dormant by PPFGoujon Architectes sits on a west-facing “sunset factory” of Mediterranean coastline, on a steep piece of land overlooking a rocky bay with crystal clear waters. The essence of the site was immediately apparent, setting a clear direction for the concept – it had to be all about the view.

Reflecting PPFGoujon Architectes’ vision of respecting the location and environment, the intention was to reduce the project’s visual impact and make it blend with the landscape.

The brief required generous indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces, a master suite plus three bedrooms, a proper kitchen open to the view, and a special playroom housing cars and wine bottles with a bar and lounge for screen watching and games.

The steep topography called for a stretched plan following the land lines, parallel to the

sea and set below the road to hear only the wind, sea and cicadas. The view guided every design decision. Approaching the house from above, visitors park on the roof overlooking the horizon, with no clear entrance façade.

A circular glass volume with a light sky-blue saucer roof on a dark sea-blue glass pebbles platform forms the entry, like arriving at a lighthouse from its top floor. A circular stairway leads down two floors to the garden level, where a sequence of indoor and outdoor spaces opens to the view, the long infinity pool and its circular fire-pit island.

Seen from the pool terrace, the villa presents a glazed façade open to the sea.

The design balances light and sun: first-floor terraces are shaded by a cantilevered steel and wood structure, while a red cedar lacework shaped like waves veils the upper glazed wall of the main living and dining rooms. A canvas

sail fixed to the dry-stone back wall shelters the outdoor lounge, dining area and circular bar. Below the pool, an existing promontory was shaped into a viewing platform for sunset aperitifs, overlooking the rocky bay and the Mediterranean garden of pine, oak and shrubs descending to the sea.

The garden floor houses the main living and dining areas in a double-height volume, the kitchen, TV room and the master suite, which opens to a private garden and teak deck shaded by pines. The upper floor includes three suites and a playroom designed for cars, wine, games and film watching. Finishes combine comfort and texture – raw brick walls, walnut panelling,

carpet and soft lighting. A custom-engineered cantilevered car lift links the roof parking with the lower level.

Refined materials and meticulous craftsmanship define the interiors: layered limestone above the fireplace, Venetian plaster walls, custom stainless-steel handrails, Estremoz marble in the master bathroom, Zebrano veneers, and intricate stone marquetry of Limra and Serpentino across the floors and terraces. Custom-designed furniture, marble tables, palm wood cabinets, and enamelled lava stone pieces beautifully complement soft off-white materials and shifting Mediterranean blues.

he Foxrock project by Shauna Kelly Interiors was conceived to create a home that embraces a classic contemporary aesthetic. From the initial meeting, it was clear that the clients envisioned a residence that combined luxury with lasting durability and a sense of inviting comfort.

They wanted their home to feel elegant yet liveable, achieving a refined atmosphere while maintaining warmth throughout.

The brief called for a balance between sophisticated entertaining and the practical needs of comfortable family living. With this in mind, the design incorporated openconcept layouts that encourage flow and conversation, supported by statement lighting and carefully selected focal furniture to enhance visual impact.

A key consideration was the inclusion of a well-equipped kitchen and dining area that would be both beautiful and social.

Comfortable lounge areas were also integral, designed for movie nights and relaxation, alongside clearly zoned spaces for play, rest and work. When colour schemes were discussed, the clients expressed a preference for navy and neutral tones. The overall objective was to deliver a home that embodies quiet luxury, where the combination of navy and neutrals creates serenity and confidence. The completed design reflects the clients’ lifestyle, offering both aesthetic and practical longevity while maintaining a polished and personal feel.

The family room was envisioned as a warm, inviting and multifunctional living space.

The intention was to strike a perfect balance between comfort and openness, allowing the family to unwind, connect and feel at ease, with seamless flow between indoor and outdoor areas. Objectives included creating a cosy, relaxed atmosphere suitable for gatherings and quiet reflection, maintaining an airy feel,

maximising natural light and incorporating comfortable, inclusive seating. Ambient lighting was used to establish a layered mood adaptable from day to evening. Functional layout, subtle hidden storage, and swivel chairs ensured practicality and easy access to the adjoining outdoor living area.

Bespoke joinery played a vital role in the project, merging functionality with refined design. A darker timber finish added depth and formality, while an oil finish highlighted the natural grain and warmth of the wood. Tongue and groove detailing introduced subtle texture and dimension.

The dining and wine room with an adjoining bar was created as a luxurious, moody and intimate space for entertaining. Rich textures,

deep tones and carefully planned lighting established a dramatic yet elegant setting.

The games room was developed as a lively, flexible space for children and teens, combining modular seating, hidden storage and interactive features.

The principal bedroom was conceived as an elegant and calming retreat, designed to embody both sophistication and serenity.

Featuring a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and a spa-inspired en suite, the space offers a seamless balance of luxury and functionality.

A carefully curated palette of rich neutral tones, complemented by natural textures and soft lighting, enhances the sense of tranquillity, refinement, and timeless comfort that defines the entire suite.

Fabryczna City

eveloped by F.R.B. INTER-BUD, Fabryczna City is an innovative, mixed-use complex in the heart of Krakow, created on the site of the former State Vodka Distillery from the 1920s-30s.

The project combines history with modernity, creating a place where office, residential, and commercial functions harmoniously coexist. It is a space where everyone – from residents and office tenants to hotel guests and visitors to the promenade, can find something for themselves.

The revitalised historic buildings form a gastronomic and recreational promenade with six restaurant concepts, including Italian, Asian, European and also American cuisine, an on-site brewery producing craft beer, a café with confectionery, and the Utopia Vodka Bar, which is a social and event space. The Vodka Factory Museum preserves the industrial heritage with an authentic 19th-century steam distillery and a recreated POLMOS bottling line. Fabryczna City also includes the Mercure Kraków Fabryczna City Hotel and the CKF_13 Conference Centre, offering modern event and conference spaces.

The office component, Fabryczna Office Park, comprises seven modern Class A buildings. Six completed buildings have already achieved BREEAM Outstanding certification, confirming the highest standards of sustainable construction, energy efficiency, and workplace comfort. Fabryczna Flex is a separate building within the complex, offering coworking spaces with flexible rental options – from a single desk to a full floor. The seventh office building is currently under construction, which will bring the entire office park to completion.

The residential section, Fabryczna 11, is an integral and prestigious part of the complex, seamlessly blending residential functions with a rich infrastructure. The building’s architecture references the historic, post-factory development, maintained in a distinctive loft style with interiors characterised by natural materials such as wood, black steel, brick, and concrete.

Fabryczna City is a “city within a city” integrating office, residential, and commercial functions in one complex. It preserves the identity and heritage of the vodka distillery

Following on from Fabryczna City, F.R.B. INTER-BUD continued its vision of merging modern design with urban comfort through another landmark project, Wiślane Tarasy 2.0.

Wiślane Tarasy 2.0 is a premium residential complex in Krakow, combining modern architecture, high-quality finish, and exceptional living environment in one of the city’s most desirable locations. It is also a continuation of the original Wiślane Tarasy development. Together, the two projects cover over 8 hectares, offering a full range of amenities for residents. It aims to create an exceptional living environment in one of Krakow’s most prestigious locations, blending comfort, style, and innovation.

Wiślane Tarasy 2.0 features one- to fiveroom apartments, exclusive penthouses, and units with private gardens or terraces. Its location near the Vistula River, close to the Old Town, Kazimierz, and Podgórze, ensures easy access to cultural, recreational, and commercial facilities.

Wiślane Tarasy 2.0

A highlight is the revitalisation of the historic Zieleniewski Hall, transformed into a loft-style sports club with a 25-metre swimming pool, gym, fitness rooms, sauna area, salt grotto, and jacuzzi. In commercialization plan there is also a café, restaurant, and a pharmacy.

The complex features five modern buildings with rounded geometric forms harmonising with the Vistula River and landscaped green areas. Ecological features such as fountains covered with living greenery, stainless steel trees with climbing wisteria, and lush green walls enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and create a pleasant and sustainable environment.

Residents enjoy double-height lobbies, concierge service in selected buildings, underground parking with EV charging, bicycle and stroller rooms, cascading terraces, and penthouses with scenic views. Outdoor amenities include a therapeutic graduation tower and a large modern playground, providing spaces for both relaxation and active recreation for all ages.

he brief given to Atelier Alma was to restore architectural coherence while converting the property into a refined and functional private residence.

The programme required comprehensive structural consolidation, generous living and reception areas, guest suites, wellness and leisure facilities, and full reconfiguration of the surrounding landscape. Emphasis was placed on durable, high-quality materials, spatial clarity, and environmental integration.

The project sought to preserve the historical identity of the château while meeting contemporary expectations of comfort, longterm performance, and contextual sensitivity.

Atelier Alma’s design approach focused on the rehabilitation of a twentieth-century structure that had fallen into disuse and partial ruin. The architects stabilised what could be preserved and re-established architectural

coherence through a temporary internal reinforced concrete exoskeleton.

Rather than creating new volumes, the project refined and enhanced the existing composition, using modern materials, glass, steel, and minimal detailing only where necessary and easily discernible. The approved design consolidated the historic elements, reestablished a coherent architectural language, and incorporated contemporary changes with restraint and precision.

The stone towers and facades were restored using stones from various countries to create the desired colour composition, and the addition of glass and steel was limited to the upper floors to maintain the distinction between old and new. Château Aiguetta is now a detached 4-story building with a total floor area of approximately 4,039m2 and a living area of approximately 2,000m2.

The building has two elevators, an outdoor pool (25 x 8.3m2, depth varies from 1.5 to 3m), and a fountain. The château is located on a plot of approximately 6.2 hectares. The plot is fenced, features exclusive landscaping, beautiful plants, approximately 100 fruit trees, and 134 large trees. The building has undergone an extensive and luxurious designer renovation, showcasing the use of exclusive, high-end materials throughout. Natural marble graces the floors of all bathrooms, and the central staircase, creating a seamless sense of elegance and refinement. Each room is tastefully furnished with bespoke designer furniture, while the walls are adorned with exquisite hand-painted murals that add a unique artistic touch. The residence also features a fully equipped private gym with state-of-the-art exercise equipment, as well as

an impressive wine cellar capable of housing approximately 1,700 bottles of fine wine from the world’s most prestigious winemakers.

The house has a closed garage for five cars, as well as separate parking spaces for guests and staff. The château also features several fully furnished and equipped staff quarters for the permanent presence of staff, ensuring seamless daily operations.

Despite its secluded location, the residence is a 15-minute drive from Monaco, 25 minutes from Nice Airport, and 15 minutes from SaintJean-Cap-Férat.

This luxurious residence is a worthy home for the most discerning and sophisticated individuals who value quiet luxury, privacy, and timeless elegance in every detail of their living environment, where comfort, artistry, and refinement harmoniously intertwine.

rand Hotel Pigna is the focus of a transformative redevelopment

by Alex Kravetz Design, reimagining a former four-star thermal spa hotel as a refined five-star medical wellness retreat. The project comprises the complete renovation of the existing 10,000m² property, reducing the key count from 96 to 68 to create generous, premium accommodations, including Presidential and Diplomatic Suites.

At the heart of the scheme is a 5,000m² medical and thermal spa, drawing on onsite thermal, mineral, and mountain water sources.

Guests will benefit from organic cuisine, advanced diagnostics, and tailored wellness programmes within a calm alpine setting.

With full support from local authorities and all property and land transactions completed, Grand Hotel Pigna represents a rare investment opportunity in a strategic Riviera location poised to become a benchmark destination for health and wellness tourism.

The hotel is located in Pigna, a historic village in the Ligurian mountains of northwest Italy, approximately 20 km from the Ligurian

coast. Set within a natural amphitheatre of forests, waterfalls, and protected Alpine landscapes, the site offers exceptional seclusion and natural beauty. Liguria is renowned for its Mediterranean climate, cultural depth, and dramatic scenery, with convenient access to key destinations including Monte Carlo and Monaco within one hour, San Remo within one hour, Nice International Airport at 70 km, and Genoa Airport at 180 km, ensuring effortless connectivity for guests seeking both tranquillity and proximity to major cultural and leisure destinations.

Pigna’s medieval village is characterised by a radial urban layout, cobbled alleys, and stone architecture, and has been famed for its therapeutic thermal springs since Roman times. The hotel is situated close to two national parks, offering hiking, mountain biking, and nature-based retreats, alongside access to three natural water sources and panoramic views of mountains, waterfalls, and forested slopes. The immediate surroundings reflect the area’s medieval origins, with narrow winding streets, terraced stone houses, arches,

vaults, and thick defensive walls that speak to its historic role as a strategic guard post throughout the centuries.

This enchanting region was immortalised

by Claude Monet, who arrived on the Western Ligurian coast in 1884 and encountered a landscape unlike any he had previously captured. From the palm-lined slopes of Bordighera to the medieval villages overlooking the Val Nervia, he described it as “a fairy-tale land… everything here is magnificent, and I want to paint it all.” The tranquil towns of Pigna and Castel Vittorio still preserve the interplay of light, colour, and geometry that inspired Monet’s Ligurian works, and the valley remains remarkably unchanged, retaining the serenity and timeless beauty that sparked his imagination. Today, visitors can trace the very paths he once walked, experiencing the

same luminous vistas, terraced hillsides, and crystalline air that shaped his artistic vision – an atmosphere that continues to draw artists, writers, and travellers seeking quiet inspiration.

Regulatory and heritage compliance is central to the redevelopment, with alignment to EU regional frameworks and support from the Ligurian regional government. The project targets leading sustainability certifications including LEED, WELL, BREEAM, and Green Globe, while strictly respecting historic fabric and external character. Guided by a philosophy of “Life Through Design,” the approved concept merges luxury, wellness, sustainability, and cultural sensitivity, transforming Grand Hotel Pigna into a premier destination for health, balance, and renewal, and re-establishing the valley as a beacon of cultural and ecological stewardship, inspiring future generations.

A defining feature of the design is the art, with traditional oil paintings and ornate frames placed alongside contemporary, anti-conformist portraiture to

create personality and edge. This interplay of old and new gives the space both emotional depth and visual impact.

The ground-floor entrance immediately impresses with a staircase clad in largesize ceramic tiles and vertical Cleaf planks, illuminated with linear lighting. Emphasising natural materials and abundant light, the space feels warm, airy, and organic. Ceramic surfaces lend a stone-like solidity, while wood adds luxurious warmth. The custom-made wooden planks with integrated lighting serve a dual purpose, hiding the staircase view while creating visual depth. The stairs themselves resemble carved stone blocks, combining innovation with elegance. Modern materials and design choices make the home feel both refined and liveable, perfectly blending tradition with forward-thinking style.

The dining area is designed to bring people together. Dining tables are more than a place

to eat as they are spaces where ideas, stories, and memories are shared. Anti-conformist photography by Reka Nyari adds character, while a Minotti dining table in wood and gold with an oblique shape allows comfortable seating. Luxury velvet chairs and a Rimadesio sideboard with glossy lacquered glass and bronze details create a sense of contemporary elegance. Warm golden lighting completes the welcoming atmosphere.

The kitchen balances style with symbolism.

Open kitchens represent transparency, togetherness, and modernity, and glass doors enhance this openness. Herringbone wood flooring continues through the space, while marble and a custom-made velvet sofa provide a comfortable spot for gathering while cooking.

For teenagers, the playroom combines comfort, technology, and personality in a

stylish, multi-use space suitable for relaxing, gaming, and socialising. A fireplace acts as both a focal point and a source of warmth, made from innovative biophilic materials for a modern yet elegant feel. Blending contemporary and classic artwork adds depth, contrast, and character, bridging time periods to create a space that feels carefully curated and alive. Cleaf and Laminam surfaces provide superior textures and performance, bringing together tradition and modernity throughout the home.

The L House project celebrates the harmony between heritage and innovation, comfort and style, blending timeless architectural elements with contemporary design. Thoughtfully crafted in every detail, it creates a home that feels warm, sophisticated, and truly unforgettable.

he Italian luxury hospitality group ROMEO Collection, renowned for its innovative vision and commitment to ethical and sustainable luxury, commissioned the renovation of a historic 16th-century palace to create an exclusive 74-room hotel. ROMEO Hadid Roma blends art, architecture, design, gastronomy, and well-being, representing a new vision of urban hospitality that combines beauty, functionality, and innovation. The hotel aims to add value through the integration of design and art, featuring works by contemporary artists such as Christian Leperino, Mario Schifano, Mimmo Paladino, and Francesco Clemente.

ROMEO Collection aspires to establish a small collection of hotels reflecting authentic values and redefining service, comfort, and connection with the city. ROMEO Hadid Roma features 74 rooms and suites across 13 categories, dining by Alain Ducasse, LA SPA by Sisley Paris, and a series of gardens, courtyards, terraces, and a swimming pool.

Early excavations revealed a Roman wall and an undocumented bottega with opus reticulatum.

A 90-square-metre underground gallery was created beneath the garden, with a glazed ceiling serving as the pool floor, allowing guests to view the archaeological site.

Taking inspiration from the palace’s preserved architectural elements, Alfredo Romeo commissioned Zaha Hadid to design interiors that avoid repetition, merging contemporary forms with historic architecture.

Common services occupy a single ground floor to enable seamless circulation, while guest rooms on upper levels ensure privacy. Outdoor spaces, including the courtyard, terraces, and rooftop garden, provide light, views, and social spaces, with the pool positioned to maximise sunlight and reveal the ruins beneath. The hotel’s rooms and suites celebrate the harmony of heritage and modern design, featuring bespoke furniture, fireplaces by Hadid, and luxurious materials including Nero Marquina and Carrara marble, ebony and walnut woods, and restored 17th-century frescoes.

ROMEO Hadid Roma embodies a holistic experience of hospitality, art, and history in the heart of the Eternal City.

he Cashel Palace Hotel, designed

by Reddy Architecture, Mark Kennedy Architect, Jonathan Dinnewell of Smallwood Architects with interiors by Emma Pearson and Landscape design by Tommaso del Buono, involved the adaptive reuse and restoration of a protected structure, a former Bishop’s Palace built in 1732, to meet 5-star hotel standards. The client’s brief required the addition of a ballroom, luxury spa facilities, and 46 new bedrooms.

Existing outbuildings were significantly refurbished into guest suites, and the surrounding landscaped grounds were reimagined as a coherent sequence of outdoor rooms. The design carefully conserved the historic fabric of the original house while introducing a contemporary wing linked via a glazed corridor. These facilities were essential to meet the client’s brief that the hotel could deliver on guests’ high expectations and to ensure it became an important economic component for Cashel Town.

The Magnier Family, with their longstanding equestrian legacy through Coolmore Stud,

expressed their passion for horses throughout the property via an equestrian programme. A proud Relais & Châteaux member, the hotel sources produce from the surrounding Golden Vale pastures, with Executive Chef Stephen Hayes creating a culinary experience in the Michelin-starred restaurant. The gardens, enclosed within historic stone walls, follow the original designs by Edward Lovett Pearce.

The hotel’s evolution involved a revised planning permission in 2018, increasing the spa, enlarging the ballroom, and simplifying the façade treatment to prioritise historic stonework. The restoration included rebuilding chimneys, retaining pitch pine timbers, reinstating flagstone floors, and integrating modern services discreetly.

New wings used high-quality local limestone, smooth plaster, and lime render, respecting the heritage setting.

Cashel Palace epitomises the finest of Irish hospitality, set within a magnificent landmark Palladian manor, built in 1732, and meticulously restored to create a truly desirable destination hotel for the luxury traveller.

The Library Wine Boutique & Cuisine

he Library Wine Boutique & Cuisine and Only You Sevilla Hotel are two projects by Lázaro Rosa Violán Studio that express craftsmanship, culture and design through distinctive concepts.

The Library Wine Boutique & Cuisine was created under the premise of paying homage to wine and transforming a shop into a setting for discovery, storytelling and pleasure. It is a place where design accompanies and envelops, allowing wine and food to meet and celebrate each other. Authenticity and timelessness define the space, inspired by historic Madrid shops, with aged wood, stone, iron details and craftsmanship that speak of history. The dramatic entrance, monumental shelving and warm lighting introduce a magnificent library ambience. As the project evolved, it became a space where wine is experienced through an open kitchen, private dining rooms, tasting areas and a Cheese and Charcuterie Corner.

Every element, from the woodwork and marble floors to fabrics and handcrafted details, creates an atmosphere both intimate and majestic.

Only You Sevilla Hotel takes inspiration from Seville’s heritage, shaped by diverse cultures that have created distinctive traditions. Its design is infused with flamenco, colour and craftsmanship. Materials draw from wickerwork, ceramics and the artistry of traditional costumes. Terracotta, marble, wood and wool harmonise in a palette of warmth and freshness.

The lobby, restaurant, Andalusian patio, breakfast room and guestrooms reflect Seville’s festive and welcoming spirit. Bright spaces filled with natural light and local craftsmanship combine history and tradition from a contemporary perspective, creating an inviting and enduring atmosphere that embodies the character of the city.

he “drygalski” project by BUWOG is a four-floor residential complex planned by Studio VlayStreeruwitz with public green and communal areas at the doorstep. It is being constructed on the Obere Alte Donau in one of Vienna’s most fascinating new development areas. The complex consists of one building with two stairwells and a total of 94 apartments and four storage areas. Each apartment offers between 45m² and 150m² of floor area and has a private open area – be it a private garden, balcony, loggia or terrace. Residents can also look forward to a spacious communal room with a communal terrace, a laundry room, and storage areas for bicycles and prams.

The drygalski project was designed on the basis of human needs when living in an urban centre. BUWOG’s guiding principle is “We

build for people – socially, sustainably and with diversity in mind.” The energy supply via district heating is supplemented by an in-house cooling system and a rooftop photovoltaic installation. Located in the “An der Schanze” development area, the project forms part of a vibrant, diverse and energy-efficient urban quarter with spacious open areas, shopping, services, leisure and educational facilities, all within easy reach of the city centre.

The theme of the project is “green and liveable.” A large public green space, the “urban wilderness,” will ecologically stabilise the district, connect local biotopes, preserve biodiversity and improve the microclimate.

Designed as a low-traffic area, drygalski encourages walking and cycling, creating a more pleasant environment and improving quality of life for future residents.

A private wellness area with sauna, multiple entertainment zones, and a gourmet kitchen ensures every comfort. At night, architectural lighting transforms the villa into a striking landmark. Blending bold design with landscaped serenity, this project redefines modern living, offering a private sanctuary that celebrates both elegance and functionality at the highest level.

This carefully considered residence exemplifies architecture that is both meaningful and enduring, balancing technical excellence with a deep sensitivity to human experience and connection to its surroundings.

riginally constructed in 1993, Atlantic Estate was acquired in 2020 by Donatien Roy with a vision to create a refined, self-sufficient retreat in harmony with its natural surroundings.

Between 2020 and 2025, a series of thoughtful upgrades enhanced comfort, infrastructure, and sustainability. Focused on energy independence, water autonomy, eco-conscious architecture, and passive climate solutions, these improvements transformed the property into a fully off-grid, resilient, and elegant residence.

Located in Portugal’s Lisbon District, within the Municipality of Sintra and the rural village of Assafora, 52 Atlantic Estate lies within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, a protected coastal area that preserves biodiversity, geological formations, and cultural landscape.

Its elevated position atop the cliffs provides panoramic sea views and complete privacy, while remaining a short drive from Lisbon and international transport links.

Set within a 30,000m² private estate overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the property integrates renewable energy, water autonomy, and eco-conscious architecture designed to minimise environmental impact and promote sustainable living. Perched on a coastal cliff, it enjoys a natural microclimate created by maritime air currents rising along the escarpment, ensuring stable temperatures and removing the need for air conditioning.

Presented by Oasis52, 52 Atlantic Estate stands as a model of sustainable luxury – a fully off-grid sanctuary where refined design, natural harmony, and ecological responsibility coexist.
