WELCOME It is my pleasure to welcome you to the first edition of IP&T+ magazine! Throughout the conception and planning process of this edition, I kept being struck by the deeply personal nature of design – from our homes, to our workplaces, to the buildings that make up our cities. Design impacts every part of our lives, and our environment affects how we feel and how we live our lives.

34

In this edition, we exhibit multiple Award-winning properties from across the globe, from Mexico to Singapore to Australia, and explore the innovative ways they use design to make an impact. The staggering Century Spire is a new edition to the Philippine skyline, while R.Evolution’s Bac de Roda challenges the boundaries between workplaces and the natural world. Projects like these demonstrate the impact that design has not only on our productivity, but on our physical and mental wellbeing as well. Our Industry News section uncovers the latest advancements in the property and design world, presenting trend predictions for the following year as well as up and coming developments to keep an eye out for.

While researching for our Interiors & Lifestyle section, it became apparent that people are choosing to invest in statement pieces for their homes and are regularly focused on quality. With this in mind, we have highlighted products that are testament to the unique designs that underscore residential living.

Finally, we turn to the USA to showcase the projects of several cutting-edge architects and interior designers, discovering how their styles are driving the trends in home and commercial design and observing a resurgence in bold colour and striking patterns that embody the creative personalities they represent.

Please enjoy perusing through this shiny new edition and, as you read, I hope you’ll come to agree with me that design really does have the potential to change lives.

Top Spring Australia www.topspring.com.au

ON TOP OF THE WORLD Sydney’s record-breaking opulent residential development by Top Spring Australia, Ode in Double Bay, has received award recognition by the prestigious International Property Awards in London.

Top Spring, a distinguished property group renowned for its commitment to excellence in premium residential developments enlisted acclaimed architect Luigi Rosselli to create Ode, which will stand as a six-story architectural marvel of European refinement, curves and asymmetry on a prominent corner site with dazzling views of Sydney harbour and the luxury village lifestyle the precinct is known for. Having also enlisted Alwill Interiors, the exquisite boutique residences within Ode have been meticulously designed to allow residents to personalise each inch of their spaces, offering a living experience that is genuinely unique, artistic and unlike anything else on the marketplace.

Top Spring Australia Director, Henry Wong, declared that, “Top Spring Australia is honoured to be recognised amongst the most illustrious property developers.

The International Property Awards are a mark of excellence and puts Ode firmly on the world’s stage.”

Purchasers have since flocked to Ode, shattering sales records for the historic harbour-side enclave of Double Bay with a penthouse selling off-plan for AUD$24.9M (USD$16.25M).

the AMERICAN

Dream

In this special feature, we journey across the United States of America discovering the projects of some of the country’s most talented architects and designers currently working.

The influence of traditional American style architecture is apparent in works by studios such as Haver & Skolnick and Barker Architecture Studio, both of whom draw on classic American and European elements to seamlessly merge their projects into the surrounding environment, all whilst updating their buildings for the modern era.

Designers such as Onyx & Oak Interior Design, En Masse Architecture & Design and Studio Sven report seeing a re-emergence of colour, patterns and the desire for statement pieces. Lauren Svenstrup of Studio Sven comments that, “We have always embraced the bold, and have never shied away from the moodier hues. It is refreshing to see the masses embrace this design direction again.”

This drive for the future is similarly echoed by architects Phil Kean Design Group and Studio Gang, whose designs seek to challenge pre-existing ideas of public architecture.

Indeed, a new design direction that places personality as the central focus seems to be the future, as embodied by R/terior Studio, which uses loud colours and charming designs to reflect thier

clients’ sense of self. Likewise, Jessica Helgerson Interior Design and Brad Ramsey Interiors choose to fully embrace their clients’ lifestyles, often re-designing floor layouts to optimise the usable space.

These architects and designers from all across the United States are driving the trends in residential and commercial design, pushing boundaries and re-shaping the future of property design in the Land of Opportunity. Read on to discover more…
