AINSLEY DUNCOMBE Meet the man closing the biggest luxury residential real estate deals in Dubai that you’ll never hear anything about

Rochelle Bugg sits down with the former International Business Director of Property Finder and Founder of Off-Market Listing Dubai to learn how he’s earned his reputation for closing ‘impossible’ deals. Known for his utmost discretion, it’s not easy to find out how Ainsley does what he does, but what she discovered was a man who will (quite literally) cross oceans to market his clients’ properties.

With so many real estate companies to choose from in Dubai, why do clients come to you?

How did you come up with the idea for Off-Market Listing Dubai?

The entire business was inspired by a chat with friends when I took my daughter for a playdate at their villa in Arabian Ranches. They had completely remodelled their property and refurbished it to a really high spec but had recently decided to sell and put the villa on the market via a web portal. They told me that the very first people who came to view were their next-door neighbours – the wife turned up with her phone in hand, videoing the entire house! It was clear the neighbours had zero intention of buying, and she was just there to get ideas to show their builders for their own renovation.

Understandably, my friends were really upset by the whole experience and felt it was a violation of their privacy. As a result, they took the property off the market and decided not to go ahead with the sale.

Often, people prefer to keep their property sale discreet, avoiding gossip and speculation, especially when dealing with high-value properties or sales resulting from divorce or bereavement. Ideally, they want to sell their property without others knowing until the new owners are moving in. That’s precisely what we can make happen.

Discretion is paramount in this business. While we frequently work with celebrities and other high-profile individuals, we ensure privacy at every step. We go the extra mile to facilitate confidential luxury property transactions for buyers and sellers worldwide. For some clients this entails a complimentary helicopter tour to view plots and neighbourhoods from the sky, while for others it means on-theground viewings in our chauffeur-driven, blacked-out vehicle to prevent them from being recognised. With over 20,000 real estate brokers in Dubai, we stand out as the only ones offering this level of personalised service.

My tech background means I’m always looking for the most efficient solutions to people’s pain points, and I was sure I could come up with an idea to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. I wanted to develop a service that would enable people to sell their property discreetly and below the radar - and so that’s exactly what we now do at Off-Market Listing Dubai.

“We go the extra mile to facilitate confidential luxury property transactions for buyers and sellers worldwide.”

What type of properties do you have on your books?

We specialise in luxury residential real estate, with our listings starting at $1 million USD and reaching up to $70 million USD and beyond. We are specialists in securing buyers for one-of-a-kind properties. For example, we currently have a 33,000 sq. ft. home in one of the greenest areas in Dubai with seven bedrooms and a 15-car garage! Moreover, most of our listings are exclusive to us, which means you won’t find them with any other agencies.

real estate Villa D’este Al Barari – Exterior View

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to sell a property?

I was recently tasked with selling a property, but the owner didn’t want us to capture any videos or photographs of it, inside or outside. We couldn’t even photograph the views from the balcony, looking away from the property. It called for some seriously creative thinking!

After visiting the property, I noticed it had a distinctive feel, reminiscent of the Maldives. That sparked an idea!

Within a few days, I had arranged for a film crew, and we hopped on a plane to the Maldives to capture content in similar surroundings to the property we were marketing.

The client was thrilled with the results, and we successfully secured a sale for them. This is where Off-Market Listing Dubai truly shines – no one else goes to the lengths we do to sell a property.

What does the future look like for Off-Market Listing Dubai?

I’m a firm believer that the future lies in the Middle East.

Off-Market Listing Dubai was born in this region, it’s where our roots are, and it’s where we plan to continue growing and thriving. I’m not seeking to transform this into a global company with offices in Miami and New York. My intention is to concentrate all our efforts in the region and further solidify our position as the premier luxury property specialist. Our main priority is taking care of our clients and ensuring they achieve their objectives. We’re proud of what we do and we’re primed to keep raising the bar.

dubai INTERVIEW

CLINT NAGATA Crafting luxury hospitality excellence in the heart of Dubai

Meet Clint Nagata, the visionary Founder and Creative Partner of BLINK Design Group, and a luminary in the world of luxury hospitality and design. His profound passion for travel, hospitality, and design has charted an extraordinary journey for BLINK Design Group, marked by innovation and elegance. In this exclusive interview, we explore Clint’s illustrious career, the strategic expansion of BLINK Design Group into the vibrant heart of Dubai, and the unique design philosophy that underpins their creations.

A Journey Shaped by First Impressions For Clint, the significance of first impressions forms the very foundation of BLINK’s creative process. He expounds, “It is the first impression when you meet a client or visit a site that becomes the starting point of our creative journey.” Clint’s remarkable journey commenced with an impressive thirteen-year tenure at WATG in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he rose to become the youngest partner among 22 others. Seeking fresh horizons and possibilities, Clint embarked on a transformative venture, establishing BLINK in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2006.

Inspired by Malcom Gladwell’s influential work, “Blink,” Clint’s firm has steadfastly pursued a singular focus on luxury hospitality and lifestyle design.

Dubai: A Centrestage for BLINK’s Vision Dubai, a global epicentre of luxury and opulence, occupies a pivotal role in BLINK Design Group’s expansion strategy. Clint explains, “We are getting an incredible amount of interest in the Middle East.” The resounding success of BLINK’s projects, notably the W Dubai Mina Seyahi, has not only earned acclaim but also sparked fervent interest from prospective developers in the region. The outcome?

A strategic decision to establish a new studio in Dubai’s dynamic Design District D3.

“Place Making” – The Universal Approach Whether amidst the bustling Asian markets of Singapore and Bangkok or the vibrant landscape of Dubai, BLINK’s design philosophy remains unwavering. Clint underscores, “Regardless of the market, we have always taken a fundamental approach, and that is ‘place making.’”

BLINK Founder, Clint Nagata

This philosophy involves delving deep into a location’s history, culture, and community, then masterfully translating these insights into remarkable architectural designs.

Designing with Cultural Immersion Cultural immersion is an indelible hallmark of BLINK’s projects. Clint articulates, “We invest a lot of time in this preliminary phase of the process.

We then dive into local traditions in search of ideas that will inform our contemporary projects.” For instance, at the Regent Phu Quoc in Vietnam, BLINK expertly integrated elements like laquerwork, hand-woven abaca wall coverings, and locally-inspired accent colours to authentically echo the island’s vibrant culture. In Dubai’s W Dubai M Seyahi, Arabic culture takes centre stage, from traditional Dhow boat-inspired designs to calligraphy motifs adorning the bathrooms.

dubai INTERVIEW

Timeless Design Amidst Design Trends In a world where design trends ebb and flow, BLINK Design Group certainly stands out. Clint stresses the importance of balance, asserting, “What sets our designs apart are how they truly embody the spirit of a place through a very restrained and refined design aesthetic.”

This approach ensures that BLINK’s designs remain enduring and eternally captivating.

Envisioning BLINK’s Impact in Dubai and Beyond As BLINK Design Group continues its expansion, Clint’s aspirations for the firm are clear. He envisions BLINK becoming “synonymous with design” and playing a transformative role in shaping the trajectory of luxury hotel design in the Middle East, with Dubai at its epicentre.

In Clint Nagata and BLINK Design Group, Dubai has discovered a creative force deeply attuned to its culture and unwaveringly committed to crafting exceptional spaces that resonate with both locals and visitors. With their dedicated ethos of “place making” and an acute sense of timeless design, Clint Nagata and his remarkable team are poised to leave an indelible and transformative imprint on Dubai’s ever-evolving luxury hospitality landscape.

RICHMOND A timeless magnet for domestic and international property buyers

ichmond, located in the southwest of London, remains a magnet for both domestic and international property buyers. Its unique fusion of urban convenience, excellent transportation links, and the tranquil beauty of the countryside make Richmond stand out in London’s property market. To gain deeper insights, we turn to industry experts Dannie Walton, Director at Fine & Country Richmond, Phillip Stevens, Director at Richmond estate agents, Antony Roberts, and Scott Carson, Partner at Curchods Estate Agents.

“Richmond is London’s greenest borough, offering the perfect balance of city life, connectivity and countryside charm which sets the borough apart from other residential

areas in London, says Scott Carson. “One of the biggest appeals to Richmond is the transport network and links to the city. Richmond boasts a fast train service to London Waterloo in just 20 minutes, with the added bonus of the district line tube service and Heathrow Airport close by. The town centre has a wonderful selection of independent shops, restaurants, cafes and bars and is located just off Richmond Green and the Old Palace.”

Phillip Stevens also underscores Richmond’s appeal, highlighting its remarkable natural beauty. He notes, “Richmond harmoniously combines charming period-style properties with the tranquility of Richmond Park and the serenity of the river, offering residents the best of both worlds – a peaceful countryside within close proximity to the bustling heart of London.

“Internationally, Richmond captivates American, German, Chinese, and Hong Kong buyers, each drawn to its quintessential English character

“Its unique fusion of urban convenience, excellent transportation links, and the tranquil beauty of the countryside make Richmond stand out in London’s property market.” and unique charm. Additionally, the presence of the German School in Petersham, known as ‘The German School London,’ has contributed to a significant German presence in the area.”

James Williams, Partner & Head of Sales at Knight Frank Richmond, adds his insights to the discussion. He highlights the uniqueness of Richmond, stating, “Richmond offers everything you could possibly want from a village while still being very well connected.” Richmond’s vast green spaces, scenic river stretches, and Petersham Meadows provide a distinct feeling of being outside London, complemented by famous heritage sites like Kew Gardens and Richmond Palace. James also notes that the area maintains its historical charm while undergoing modernisation, with increasing investments into restaurants and independent shops amplifying the ‘village-feel’ of Richmond.

Richmond offers a range of highly sought-after neighbourhoods, each with its distinct character. Dannie Walton provides valuable insights into some of these coveted areas: “Richmond Hill stands out for its breathtaking views of the River Thames and Richmond Park, creating a picturesque setting coupled with historic architecture. Barnes, regarded as one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods, charms residents with its idyllic surroundings, closeknit community, and attractive features. Twickenham, situated along the riverside, boasts historic charm, a vibrant town centre, and the renowned Twickenham Stadium.

“East Sheen offers a more tranquil suburban atmosphere while maintaining excellent connections to central London, making it a preferred choice. Kew, renowned for the Royal Botanic Gardens, combines leafy,

historic streets with modern living.

Petersham, a picturesque area, is known for its spacious houses, lush gardens, and proximity to the river.”

Dannie Walton further delves into the emerging architectural trends that are shaping property development in Richmond. He explains that Richmond’s property developers are striving for a delicate balance between “modern elegance” and the area’s rich historical character.

This approach involves seamlessly integrating contemporary materials, clean lines, and innovative layouts while “respecting the traditional architecture” that defines Richmond’s unique aesthetic.

Moreover, Walton highlights the growing emphasis on sustainability and green building practices in Richmond’s property designs.

Developers are actively incorporating eco-friendly features such as “energy-efficient appliances, solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and green roofs.” These initiatives align perfectly with Richmond’s deep appreciation for its lush green spaces and commitment to environmental responsibility. Additionally, some property developments are focused on the “mix of old and new,” where new construction is thoughtfully integrated with existing historic buildings. This approach aims to “preserve the area’s distinctive character” while creating a harmonious fusion of “traditional and modern living spaces.”

Despite recent economic challenges, Dannie highlights Richmond’s resilience. He states, “Richmond has always been a very attractive location, demand has continued and has not seen too much change from recent economic trends. The projected market trends see more transactions taking place.”

Now, let’s talk food – the true star of Kerridge’s.

Apothecary East, London Tucked away in the heart of Shoreditch, Apothecary East blends the flavours of Japan with the magnetic allure of East London. It’s a rendezvous of worlds, where tradition meets trendy, and the result is nothing short of spectacular. Step inside, and you’re greeted by an ambiance that’s a harmonious marriage of Tokyo tavern spirit and the chic, hip vibes of Shoreditch. Exposed brick walls whisper tales of history, while a welcoming woodburning stove radiates a cosy warmth that invites you to nestle into their plush green leather booths.

In terms of gastronomy, the sea bass ceviche is a revelation – a harmonious concoction of zesty chili, tangy lime, and the vibrant freshness of coriander. And then there’s the miso glazed aubergine – a testament to the culinary artistry of the chefs at Apothecary East. It’s a delicate equilibrium of flavours that’s akin to a finely tuned orchestra, with the miso as the conductor ensuring every note is just right.

SOMA is an international architecture firm founded in 2004. The New York headquarters are the command center for forward thinking projects using cutting edge technology. SOMA recently opened headquarters in Dubai to handle all the MENA and GCC region projects with back offices in Beirut handling the production of regional projects.

With its focus on incorporating craft, digital technologies, environmental responsibility and specialization in luxury developments, the firm’s designs and work have attracted critical acclaim for their boundary pushing nature. SOMA’s work is rising around the world today - in New York, Dubai, California, Doha, Kurdistan, Azerbaijan, Lebanon and other international markets - with remarkable offerings of luxury residential, hospitality, commercial…

SOMA has a highly selective approach to taking on new projects, with hand-picked high-profile clients to guarantee a perfect delivery of the highest luxury standards of design and execution for each project.

“

WE BELIEVE IN EFFICIENCY, FAST TURN-AROUND OF IDEAS, WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE DEPTH OF OUR THINKING AND OUR ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL.

”

MICHEL ABBOUD earned his Masters in Architecture from the University of Columbia, he founded in 2004 the award-winning architectural practice SOMA in New York. His designs have attracted critical acclaim for their boundary-pushing nature. Having built a reputation for provocative projects, Michel’s defiant no compromise stance, in terms of design, continuously raises the bar in the architecture sphere and has gained him respect among a loyal client base and fellow design professionals. His work is rising around the world today with remarkable offerings of projects that underscore his firm’s cutting-edge appeal. In 2010, his design for Park 51 in New York further catapulted him into prominence, with one journalist dubbing him “the most controversial architect the U.S. has known.” After winning numerous international awards, he became one of the youngest architects to have designed and built a skyscraper in New York, 45 Park Place as well as the groundbreaking One at Palm building in Dubai.

ART CAREER In recent years Michel has shifted his career from architecture to art, a shift that began by his combining art and architecture through the creation of large-scale parametric sculptures in various urban and rural landscapes around the world. These parametric sculptures are the result of 15 years of research in form making. Through the use of advanced digital tools and scripting software, Abboud is able to generate complex forms that are not traditionally “modelled” or “sculpted”, but “evolved” from a single repeated module, a three-dimensional cubic pixel – the manifestation of the digital in the physical world. Michel Abboud’s art, are his parametric sculptures, which blur the boundaries between art and architecture.

“

A “PARAMETRIC” SCULPTURE IS A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF THE DIGITAL, IN A TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD WHERE THE DIGITAL HAS REPLACED THE SPIRITUAL.

The Purosangue’s chassis combines high-strength aluminIum alloy, carbon-fibre, and high-strength steel, achieving exceptional rigidity and occupant safety. Its carbon-fibre roof is rigid yet lightweight. The cabin accommodates four adults comfortably, with foldable rear seats and a spacious boot.

The Purosangue redefines the four-door, four-seater segment with class-leading performance, a thrilling V12 engine, and luxurious comfort as standard.

Notably, the Fordwater Trophy race shattered tradition by exclusively using sustainable fuel, where pre-1966 Porsche 911s competed for victory. The Rudge-Whitworth Cup commemorated the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with legendary drivers like Sir Jackie Stewart, Jenson Button, and Mark Webber lending their star power. The Freddie March Spirit of Aviation exhibition showcased vintage aircraft, with the 1936 Focke Wulf Stieglitz Red D-EMNN earning the prestigious ‘Best in Show’ award.

Beyond the racetrack, the Revive & Thrive Village empowered visitors to rejuvenate second-hand treasures, while the Bonhams car auction featured spectacular vehicles, with proceeds benefiting charity. The Goodwood Revival also enjoyed a special partnership with Ralph Lauren, enhancing the experience within the historic Race Control building.

The 25th Goodwood Revival will be remembered as a spectacular celebration of motorsport heritage and automotive passion, setting the stage for an equally thrilling 2024 edition, that will take place from Friday 6 - Sunday 8 September.

1955 Maserati A6GCS53 Frua Spider CoE

drive

MASERATI FRUA SPIDER CROWNED at Hampton Court Palace The 12th edition of the annual Concours of Elegance event welcomed 15,000 visitors to the stunning Palace gardens for a landmark display of rare and significant road and competition machinery held over three days, from August 30th to September 1st.

The judges presented a magnificent trophy for Best in Show to the owner of an extremely rare 1955 Maserati A6GCS/53 Frua Spider, concluding yet another automotive extravaganza.

One of only three cars made by Maserati, the Frua is a masterpiece of Italian design, making its debut appearance on British soil.

The A6GCS Frua Spider was conceived by Gugliemo ‘Mimmo’ Dei, the official Maserati dealer for Rome, who commissioned a small series of coachbuilt cars based on the high-performance A6GCS platform. The A6GCS/53 – the ‘CS’ standing for ‘Corsa Sport’ – had originally been developed for the 1953 World Sports Car Championship and featured motorsport mechanicals. It boasted a potent 170bhp in-line six-cylinder engine – initially developed by famed engine builder Columbo for Formula 2 racing – and a similarly race-bred, lightweight tubular chassis by Gilco. The resulting car, weighing just 740kg, is a work of automotive art with delightful handling and period race-car performance.

Chassis 2110 was shipped to the United States in the late 1950s, where it has remained until the present day. In the early 2000s, it underwent a painstaking restoration under the supervision of Maserati aficionado Adolfo Orsi.

Its appearance at Hampton Court represented its first-ever UK appearance, and it was a wonderful motor car and a fitting winner.

Over 80 cars were competing for the coveted trophies dating back to 1913, with many more cars displayed alongside numerous pavilions and avenues.

The Le Mans centenary celebration was another stunning highlight. The display, in partnership with L’Automobile Club de L’Ouest, assembled an array of significant La Sarthe legends, including 10 winners and four double winners – a line-up the likes of which has never before been seen in the UK. HRH Prince Michael is the patron of the Concours of Elegance and attended the event, taking the wheel of a 1929 Bentley 4½-Litre Le Mans-style tourer restored by Stanley Mann, accompanied by three guests to parade the car around the event. The prince is a lifelong motoring enthusiast. As well as being President of The Royal Automobile Club, he is an Honorary Member of the Bentley Drivers’ Club and the British Racing Drivers’ Club. In 2013, Prince

Michael of Kent drove the mighty 1933 Napier-Railton 24-litre Special from The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace to the 2013 Concours of Elegance at St James’s.

Hampton Court Palace is a Grade 1 listed royal palace built in 1515 in Richmond On Thames for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who gifted the palace to Tudor King Henry VIII. The palace is open to the public: www.hrp.org.uk Concours of Elegance concoursofelegance.co.uk

The studio’s mission is to use design, lighting, sound, and biophilic elements to create a space that works for the client’s family, somewhere they can truly feel at home and appreciate with all their five senses.

Seaside Sophistication Limassol’s Mediterranean Retreat

his contemporary residence in Limassol, Cyprus, designed by Bolshakova Interiors, features a luxurious three-bedroom apartment. Situated along the seafront promenade, it draws inspiration from the endless blue sea and the gentle caress of warm sunlight.

Located within ‘The One,’ Europe’s tallest seafront tower, designed by renowned architect Hakim Khennouchi of WKK Architects and completed in 2021 by esteemed real estate developer Pafilia, this residence redefines modern Mediterranean living.

The apartment’s design philosophy revolves around an effortless, minimalist-chic approach, characterised by a palette of soothing beige shades – pearl, creamy, cotton, and seashell. Nataly Bolshakova, the visionary designer behind this project, drew inspiration from Cyprus’s unique culture, design traditions, and natural beauty, including its rocky cliffs, tree-covered mountains, and pebble beaches.

One of the most significant challenges faced by the design team was reconfiguring the apartment’s layout to optimise space utilisation.

Nataly Bolshakova’s innovative solutions included creating a separate laundry room, expanding the kitchen area, and strategically positioning a kitchen island closer to the spacious terrace. The result is a harmoniously organised space that seamlessly combines functionality and aesthetics.

Spanning 127m2, the apartment features a master bedroom, a son’s room, a guest room, an open-space kitchen and living room, and a spacious terrace. Marble and glossy surfaces throughout the living areas ref lect the natural surroundings

of Limassol, creating a serene atmosphere.

The kitchen embraces a minimalistic design with clean white surfaces and concealed storage, while customised furniture pieces harmonise with the selected colour theme.

The master bedroom introduces textile panels in a soothing caramel brown shade and warm walnut parquet, handcrafted in Italy to infuse softness and intimacy. The guest bedroom continues the theme, featuring an elegant dressing table

by Poliform and f loral motifs on Glamora wallpaper.

In the kid’s bedroom, dark wood furniture contrasts with white bookshelves and beige fabric wall panels, accented by burgundy armchairs, creating a vibrant yet sophisticated space. Both the master and guest bathrooms showcase the finest restroom design elements, adorned with marble tiles in sandy and dark chocolate colour themes, adding a touch of luxury to this Mediterranean haven.

HARMONISING LUXURY AND SIMPLICITY Han’s Interiors’ design collaboration with Caffe Latte and Covet House

n a creative partnership with Caffe Latte and Covet House, Han’s Interiors crafted two spaces that display richness while never compromising on comfort and functionality.

The first living room shines with its emphasis on minimalism and well-being, showcasing the unrivalled offerings of Caffe Latte.

The Milenio Modular Sofa and Demitasse Armchair take centre stage, making a bold statement in seating comfort. Complementing

this ensemble is the neutral yet functional Odisha Center Table, as well as the versatile Brutte and Cutty side tables.

Among the additional elements, spanning from serene neutrals to grand tones, the Horus Suspension Lamp and Vellum Wall Lamp by Brabbu stand out, not to mention the Adler Rug from Rug’Society. Conversely, the second living room envelops you in comfort and positive vibes, with the Cassia Modular Sofa by Caffe Latte as its focal point.

Here, darker and golden tones reign supreme, especially with the Navarra Center Table from Boca do Lobo and the exclusive Ancud Armchair from Covet Collection’s Patagonia Capsule.

The iconic Couple Rug by Rug’Society adds to the room’s magnetisim. Rounding out this luxurious setting

is the distinctive Ristretto side table from Caffe Latte and the Monochrome Sideboard by Boca do Lobo.

Illuminating this space are the Naicca Suspension Lamp and Vellum Wall Lamp from Brabbu, further enhancing the ambiance of grandeur. Whether opting for simplicity or refinement, Caffe Latte, Covet House, and Han’s Interiors studio, offer bespoke solutions designed to ensure the utmost comfort and well-being for their discerning clientele.

visited places and landscapes that had been painted by the preceding generation of artists, including Normandy and villages in the south of France.

More than 160 paintings of extraordinary breadth of subject matter are on show at the Kunstmuseum Basel.

Some works also reflect the growth of consumer society – some artists worked in advertising, others in the growing tourism industry. Although it was a preeminently male group, the show has a sprinkling of work by women including a portrait of André Derain’s wife, Alice, by Marie Laurencin and art by the almost unheard of wife of Matisse, Amelia, as well as the art dealer Berthe Weill.

Until January 21st, 2024 at the Kunstmuseum Basel.

Seeing Is Believing: Lee Miller and Friends

From 11th November to 22nd December at Gagosian, Madison Avenue, New York, USA.

The rediscovery of the work of Lee Miller (1907-1970) is in no small part due to her son, Anthony Penrose, who inherited an archive of 60,000 negatives, photographs and letters kept at the family home in East Sussex. Farley House, which is open to the public, is hung with works by the Roland Penrose, Lee’s husband. Penrose was a rare bird – a British Surrealist – and a personal friend and a biographer of both Juan Miro and Picasso.

His beautiful wife, Lee, started was a fashion model and you might say ‘muse’ – Picasso painted her six times – but she progressed to becoming a photographer and during WWII was commissioned by Vogue to work with David Scherman as a photojournalist. She documented the London Blitz, the liberation of Paris and the concentration camps of Dachau and Buchenwald and famously - with Scherman – visited Hitler’s Munich home where the American snapped her in the Fuhrer’s bathtub on the very day in April 1945 that Hitler killed himself. her life and work starring Kate Winslet was released earlier this year.

However, it is probably not the science of astronomical photography but the beauty of the complex images on display that people will appreciate most – glittering stars, shimmering galaxies, silver moons, golden suns and iridescent dust clouds. The 100 photographs – displayed on light boxes – include our sun and moon, aurorae, skyscapes and night skies captured by dedicated photographers who travel literally to the ends of the earth to create images that are also transcendental works of art.

his is the first Royal Academy

show ever devoted to a woman – and the choice has fallen on a Balkan performance artist.

You may have heard of Marina Abramović – at the very least of the infamous ‘Living Door’ - and if not here’s the perfect chance to catch up.

Abramović, born in 1946 in then Yugoslavia, specialised in sustained and often painful physical acts and was a leading pioneer of performance art. She no longer performs but a new generation of trainees from her institute (MAI) reproduce her most iconic works. The infamous ‘living door’ where visitors pass through two naked human pillars is one of the jobs for the IMA trainees.

The Royal Academy exhibition is (as always) magnificently staged and almost everything is on a big scale.

“Kitzbühel and St. Anton are the primary destinations for the affluent and discerning. The historical significance and irresistible charm of these areas continue to captivate both investors and those in search of an alpine paradise.”

Austria Nikolaus Jira Sales Manager Kitzbühel Austria Sotheby’s International Realty

midst the enchanting Alps, Austria entices those seeking second homes or investment opportunities. With its breathtaking landscapes and thriving property market, Austria offers a unique blend of natural beauty and financial opportunity.

Nikolaus Jira, Sales Manager at Austria Sotheby’s International Realty, provides invaluable insights into the Austrian property market, with a particular focus on the ski property sector, a jewel in the country’s real estate crown.

The Austrian ski property market, in particular, holds a special place in the hearts of both investors and snow enthusiasts alike. According to Nikolaus Jira, “Recent innovations and obstacles faced by non-EU citizens when purchasing properties have been impacting the market somewhat – log cabins have become very rare, and properties situated over 1,000 metres above sea level maintain their price levels, it seems.”

Kitzbühel and St. Anton stand out as highly sought-after regions for ski property investment. As noted by Nikolaus Jira, “Kitzbühel and St. Anton are the primary destinations for the affluent and discerning. The historical significance and irresistible charm of

Chalet Umgebung Berge, Austria

these areas continue to captivate both investors and those in search of an alpine paradise.”

Austria’s ski property market is currently witnessing high demand for houses with the rare designation of “holiday-home,” as Mr. Jira mentions.

These properties are highly coveted because they are exclusively allowed for holiday use, making them an attractive option for those seeking a winter retreat or a lucrative rental income.

For international investors eyeing the Austrian ski property market, understanding the legal and regulatory aspects is crucial. Nikolaus Jira offers sage advice: “You should have a good local lawyer – and a fine agent!” A solid legal foundation and expert guidance are indispensable for a seamless investment process.

While Austria’s ski property market is among the most expensive in the European Union, it offers unparalleled returns over time. As Mr. Jira notes, “Statistics show that St. Moritz (CH), Kitzbühel, and Sankt Anton are the most expensive spots in the EU. Prices definitely defy every bit of logic, but they pay off every single year!” Investing in Austrian ski properties is not only a financial endeavour but also a commitment to an enduring alpine legacy.

Beyond the thrill of skiing, Austria offers a wealth of cultural and lifestyle attractions. Nikolaus Jira highlights, “As Austria is of a very manageable size, you’ll find theatres, opera houses, and museums in every corner – there is never a lack of cultural options.” Austria’s cultural tapestry complements its natural beauty, providing a well-rounded experience for residents and visitors alike.

Looking ahead, the Austrian ski property market is set for continued growth. Climate change may necessitate the use of snow cannons in some lower skiing areas, but Austria’s allure remains undiminished. As Mr. Jira passionately asserts, “Our mountain properties will never lose their value… the quality of water, and purity of the air will keep the Austrian ski property market increasing!”

We delve into the key factors, market dynamics, and expert insights from two industry professionals, Heather Byrne, Regional Area Manager at Leggett Real Estate International, and Olivier Roche, CEO of Méribel, Courchevel, and Megève International Realty. They shed light on why France remains a top choice for ski property investment, the sought-after regions, the impact of recent economic trends, crucial infrastructure developments, legal considerations for international investors, diverse buyer profiles, architectural trends, sustainability practices, and the future prospects of the market.

France’s enticement extends well beyond its pristine ski slopes, encompassing a rich cultural heritage, world-famous museums, and delectable cuisine. These facets ensure a year-round draw for investors, as Mr. Olivier Roche points out.

When it comes to sought-after regions, Heather Byrne highlights several top picks, including the Three Valleys Ski Area, Tignes/Val d’Isere, and Paradiski in Savoie. According to her, these regions boast broad appeal, catering to individuals of all ages and activity levels.

Complementing this list, Mr. Olivier Roche offers his own selection of coveted destinations, encompassing Val d’Isère, Megève, Courchevel, Bonneval sur Arc, Chamonix, Méribel, La Clusaz, and Bessans. Each of these regions feature unique attractions, providing a wide array of choices for potential investors.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a surge in demand for mountain properties, as Heather Byrne explains: “During the COVID period, we witnessed a frenzy in the mountains, with people seeking to invest in a lifestyle that offered fresh air and ample space, a place where they could work and enjoy freedom. Consequently, prices surged, as is typical in a fast-paced market.”

Heather Byrne emphasises the importance of ongoing investment in ski resort infrastructure, stating how such investments help maintain property values and protect the environment.

Key factors such as proximity to Switzerland, efficient transportation networks, and optimising ski areas significantly enhance the value and desirability of ski properties, as highlighted by Mr. Olivier Roche.

Heather Byrne further offers valuable advice to international investors, suggesting they seek expert guidance to navigate the intricacies of the French property market. She also underscores the significance of

Mr. Olivier Roche reflects on the mountain real estate market’s ability to endure and innovate. He says: “French ski resorts have diversified their offerings to remain attractive and sustainable, even in the face of changing weather patterns.”

Heather Byrne concludes with enthusiasm for the French Alps: “Summers in the Alps are absolutely breathtaking. I initially came for the skiing and stayed for the summers.

Yet, there’s nothing quite like a clear blue sky day and crisp snow as you make your way back down to the mountain restaurants.”

understanding the costs associated with purchasing, including legal and processing fees.

Highlighting the diversity of ski property buyers, Heather Byrne notes that they range from those seeking a second home to retirees and individuals working in the resort industries, all drawn to the security and commercial productivity of these areas.

Mr. Olivier Roche explains that investors often consider tax advantages when purchasing ski properties, including the status of Non-Professional Furnished Rental Company (LMNP) or traditional furnished rentals.

In terms of France’s strict construction regulations aimed at limiting environmental impact and preserving landscapes, Heather Byrne says to make note of the Mountain Law and RE2020 law, which promote energy efficiency and sustainability.

Both experts express optimism about the future of the ski property market in France, despite climate change challenges. Ski resorts are adapting by 133

Switzerland

Mr. Sven Dutoit Real Estate Agent Cardis Sotheby’s International Realty

witzerland is a perennial favourite among winter sports enthusiasts and investors alike. Beyond the snow-cov ered slopes and breathtaking vistas, its property market is resilient. We embark on a journey through the Swiss Alps to explore the intricacies of this captivating market, guided by the expertise of Mr. Sven Dutoit, Real Estate Agent at Cardis Sotheby’s International Realty.

According to Sven, “Ski properties are still sought after but there is a difference between high altitude ski resorts and low altitude ski resorts.” Swiss residents tend to seek “low altitude and easily accessible ski resorts to relocate,” whereas skiers from abroad look for “high altitude for winter holiday homes.” He also points out that “foreigners tend to sell low altitude resorts because snow is no longer guaranteed.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted global travel and tourism. However, Switzerland’s ski property market has remained resilient. As Sven explains, the pandemic has prompted many individuals to seek refuge in the Alps for a better quality of life.

Remote work opportunities have enabled people to relocate to these picturesque destinations, leading to an increased demand for ski properties.

Additionally, foreigners from neighbouring countries have found Switzerland to be an attractive investment option due to the stability of the Swiss franc and favourable tax regulations. Sven notes that they are drawn to Switzerland because of the “stability of the Swiss franc and in average low taxes, succession rights, inheritance taxes compared to other countries.”

Recent shifts in travel patterns have favoured local destinations, and Switzerland’s ski resorts have benefitted from this trend. Swiss residents and foreigners living in neighbouring countries have turned their attention to the Swiss Alps for their vacations, seeking quality of life and proximity to nature.

The rise of remote work has made investing in Swiss ski properties more feasible. Buyers now have the flexibility to spend extended periods in these properties throughout the year, beyond just traditional vacation periods.

When it comes to ski property preferences, Sven notes that Swiss buyers tend to favour “eco-friendly properties with low running costs,” particularly “individual chalets that can be used year-round for weekends and holidays.” In contrast, foreign investors often opt for “turnkey apartments with in-house management,” providing convenience and hassle-free ownership.

Investing in Swiss ski properties comes with specific legal and regulatory considerations. Foreigners are generally limited to owning “one property in Swiss tourist resorts.”

Some renowned resorts, like Zermatt, restrict property ownership to Swiss residents to prevent empty properties. Larger properties may require Swiss residency, although exceptions are possible by splitting them into multiple units. Foreigners are also subject to rental restrictions, with a maximum of eight months per year. Furthermore, to deter speculative

“Switzerland’s appeal as a top destination for ski property investment is underpinned by its stable currency, the Swiss franc, and favourable tax policies.”

practices, the resale of properties at a profit within five years of purchase is restricted.

Switzerland’s ski resort prices vary depending on the resort’s fame and history. Iconic destinations like Gstaad, Verbier, Zermatt, and St. Moritz command the highest prices, with apartments reaching up to “30,000 to 40,000 Swiss francs per square metre.” Secondary resorts like Villars and Champéry offer more affordable options, ranging from “6,000 to 13,000 Swiss francs per square metre” for high-end units.

Switzerland’s appeal as a top destination for ski property investment is underpinned by its stable currency, the Swiss franc, and favourable tax policies, including low taxes, succession rights, and inheritance taxes. As Sven emphasises, “They buy in Switzerland because of the stability of the Swiss franc and in average low taxes, succession rights, inheritance taxes compared to other countries.”

The future of the Swiss ski property market hinges on several factors, including climate change. Since 2012, new holiday home construction has been restricted in resorts with more than 20% of holiday homes, boosting the second-hand market.

Whether the market continues to thrive will also depend on snow conditions. Resorts below 2,000 metres have seen foreign owners primarily using their properties for Christmas holidays and subsequently selling them to Swiss residents for year-round use.

However, the changing climate has also led to a surge in foreign buyers looking to enjoy summer activities in the Swiss Alps, offering an alternative to overcrowded beach resorts.

Rob Curtain Owner Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty

Michael Pallier Owner Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty

nown for its stunning landscapes, robust economy, and political stability, the property market in Australia has been in the spotlight, drawing attention from both local and international buyers. In this article, we’ll delve into the insights provided by two prominent figures in the Australian real estate landscape, Rob Curtain and Michael Pallier, as they share their perspectives on the luxury property markets in Victoria, and Sydney, and Australia overall.

Rob Curtain, the owner of Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty, offers an overview of the current state of luxury property in Victoria. He highlights that despite the cooler months in Victoria, which are typically quieter, the luxury property market has seen a reduction in stock levels, leading to reduced sales activity. According to Rob, “Whilst there have been a number of record sales in the current market, this year in particular owners and buyers of luxury real estate appear to be travelling overseas in greater numbers.”

Michael Pallier, Owner of Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty, provides insight into the luxury property market in Sydney. He notes that “Sydney is performing well. There is a limited supply of luxury homes currently on the market, and strong demand from both local and international buyers.” Sydney’s luxury property market remains robust, driven by a combination of factors.

When considering the factors that contribute to the growth or decline of the luxury property market in Australia, both Rob Curtain and Michael Pallier emphasise the significance of economic conditions and accessible finances. Curtain notes, “Economic conditions and outlooks are the key drivers along with cheap and accessible money.” These economic factors have a significant impact on the performance of the luxury property market across the country.

In terms of the features and amenities that make luxury properties in Australia attractive, prime locations, new high-end dwellings, and ‘trophy’ homes are in high demand. These sought-after features create a unique blend of opulence and convenience that appeals to discerning buyers.

Rob Curtain also highlights the importance of government taxes and concessions for luxury property investors, emphasising that these factors will play a major role in decision-making in the coming years as governments seek to bolster their balance sheets. Additionally, he mentions the strict regulations imposed by the Foreign Invest Review Board, which restrict non-residents from buying residential real estate in Australia. According to Curtain, “All non-resident purchasers must apply for approval regardless of whether it be a home or investment property.”

Compliance with these regulations is crucial for foreign investors interested in Australia’s luxury property market.

Switching to architectural trends, Rob notes, “It’s probably very similar to other advanced countries. High-energy ratings and maximisation of every square metre for living, parking, and entertaining.” Efficiency and sustainability are increasingly becoming focal points of luxury property designs.

Discussing rental yields, Rob mentions, “Australia has a housing shortage issue so yields for long-term property owners have been very strong, however, these yields are changing quite dramatically in outer areas where demand is softer and supply increasing. Yields will be impacted with rising rates and increased government taxes now being imposed.” Investors should stay informed about these shifting dynamics in rental yields.

While economic factors and government policies may lead to fluctuations in the market, the enduring appeal of Australia’s natural beauty and lifestyle, coupled with strong immigration, is expected to underpin demand for luxury properties in the years ahead.

INDONESIA

Saraswati Temple, Ubud, Bali

ndonesia, a land of natural wonders and cultural richness, continues to captivate adventurers and investors. Beyond its stunning beaches in destinations like Bali, Lombok, Nusa Dua, and the Gili Islands, the nation offers diverse outdoor experiences that make it an adventurer’s paradise. However, it’s Indonesia’s property market that we should turn our attention to.

Nordor Intelligence delves into Indonesia’s property market, shedding light on its promising outlook: “The residential real estate market in Indonesia is estimated at €63.78 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach €93.52 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 7.95% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has severely shocked the residential real estate sector, which could have important implications for macro-financial stability going forward because of the large size of the sector and its strong interconnectedness

with the real economy. Using a novel methodology, this paper quantifies vulnerabilities in the residential sector and analyses policy tools available to mitigate related risks.”

In a recent move to boost foreign investment and stimulate the real estate market, foreign nationals can purchase property in the country without requiring a specific visa permit, only needing their passport for transactions.

This policy change has eliminated the previous restrictions that forced foreign buyers to obtain specific visas, such as the “KITAS” or “KITAP.” President Joko Widodo announced this decision as part of a broader strategy to attract more foreign direct investment (FDI) and promote economic growth.

While these relaxed regulations offer easier access to Indonesian real estate, foreign buyers must adhere to local property taxes and regulations, ensuring that the policy serves the nation’s economic interests.

Indonesia’s property ownership options for foreigners include “Hak Pakai” (Right to Use), “Hak

Guna Bangunan” (Right to Build), leasehold agreements, investment through PT PMA (a foreign-owned company), and owning property through marriage to an Indonesian citizen.

“Hak Pakai” grants foreign buyers the right to use and exploit property for residential or commercial purposes, with an initial 30-year period extendable up to 80 years. “Hak Guna Bangunan” allows foreigners to construct buildings on Indonesian-owned land, typically for 30 years, with options for two 20-year extensions.

Leasehold agreements permit foreigners to lease land and properties for extended periods, often 25 to 70 years, with renewal options, making them popular among investors and long-term residents. Establishing a foreign-owned company (PT PMA) enables more control over property but comes with specific requirements and regulations.

Foreigners marrying Indonesian citizens can own property in their spouse’s name, with equal rights during the marriage, though legal advice is essential to protect property rights in various circumstances.

These changes reflect Indonesia’s commitment to fostering a more welcoming environment for international investors, making it an increasingly attractive destination for those looking to participate in its vibrant real estate market. As Indonesia opens its doors to foreign investors, it is poised to strengthen its position in the global real estate landscape.

“The country has consistently maintained an impressive GDP growth rate of 6-7% over the past decade, one of the highest in Asia.”

Philippines Mae Erika Caleja Senior Manager, Sales and Leasing List SIR Philippines

he Philippines has been steadily gaining recognition as an attractive destination for property buyers and investors. Located in Southeast Asia, this tropical paradise offers a unique blend of opportunities in the vibrant Philippine property market. Mae Erika Caleja, Senior Manager for Sales and Leasing at List SIR Philippines, emphasises the country’s appeal, citing its strategic location, strong economic growth, business-friendly environment, skilled workforce, and rich culture.

“The Philippines is a good choice due to its strategic location, strong economic growth, and business-friendly environment,” notes Erika. Indeed, the Philippines’ strategic location within Southeast Asia makes it a gateway to an array of regional and global opportunities.

Several key factors have been driving the growth and demand in the Philippine property market in recent years. “Strong economic growth has been a significant driver,” Erika points out. The country has consistently maintained an impressive GDP growth rate of 6-7% over the past decade, one of the highest in Asia.

This robust economic performance has

led to increased job opportunities, improved purchasing power, and subsequently, a surge in property demand.

Another crucial factor is the contribution of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). “Many Filipinos working abroad are investing in Philippine properties,” says Erika. They do so not only for financial returns but also as part of their retirement plans or to secure a place for their families, creating a steady demand for properties.

Lower interest rates have played a pivotal role in making property purchases more accessible. The central bank’s decision to lower interest rates has made it easier for individuals to secure loans for property investments, further fuelling the demand.

Moreover, the government’s commitment to infrastructure developments cannot be overlooked. Erika highlights how “government-led infrastructure projects, including new airports, seaports, and highways, have improved accessibility and attracted investments in areas previously underserved.”

The rising middle class in the Philippines is another significant driver of property demand. “The rise of the middle class has led to increased demand for quality and affordable homes,” Erika explains. This shift in demand has prompted developers to invest in affordable housing projects to cater to this market segment.

The Philippine property market is currently in a state of dynamism. According to Erika, “The residential sector, particularly affordable housing, is highly active.” High-end residential properties and prime office spaces are also attractive to investors. Emerging opportunities can be found in the tourism industry, technology, and sustainability sectors, reflecting the evolving demands of the market.

The Philippines offers a multitude of reasons for property buyers and investors to choose this tropical destination.

Erika points out several key factors: “Growth potential, competitive pricing, government incentives, rich cultural heritage, and English proficiency” make the Philippines an attractive choice.

“Growth potential is evident, with a growing middle class and high urbanisation rates,” says Erika. Furthermore, property prices in the Philippines remain competitive compared to neighbouring countries, providing an advantageous market for investors. The government’s incentives, such as tax breaks and streamlined business procedures, contribute to the country’s appeal.

The Philippines’ rich cultural heritage and natural beauty also make it an ideal location for retirement and holiday homes. Additionally, the proficiency in English among Filipinos simplifies business interactions and communication for foreign investors.

Several property types have demonstrated exceptional performance in the

Philippine property market. “Residential properties like condominiums and townhouses in prime locations offer high demand and impressive returns on investment,” notes Erika. Additionally, commercial properties such as office buildings, shopping malls, and retail spaces are thriving due to a growing economy and expanding businesses.

Industrial properties, including warehouses, factories, and logistics centres, have also shown exceptional performance. These properties benefit from the country’s growing manufacturing and logistics sectors, supported by government infrastructure projects and foreign investments.

In terms of regulations, property transactions in the Philippines are governed by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB). Recent regulatory changes include the Real Estate Service Act (RESA), which mandates licensing for real estate service practitioners, and tax reforms impacting high-value property sales. Environmental policies, such as the Clean Air Act and Solid Waste Management Act, can influence property development and incur additional expenses, necessitating compliance.

When it comes to prime regions for property investment, Metro Manila, Cebu City, Davao City, Baguio City, and Tagaytay are among the most appealing destinations. These regions offer population growth, economic stability, infrastructure development, tourism influx, and favourable government policies that attract property investors.

As the Philippines continues to evolve and develop, opportunities abound for those looking to invest in its flourishing property market.

hailand has long been an entic ing destination for property investors and buyers, and it’s not just because of its stunning natural beauty.

Abhisra “Maeo” Patintu, Sales Manager at List Sotheby’s International Realty, Thailand, sheds light on what makes this Southeast Asian gem so attractive to the real estate world.

Thailand boasts a potent mix of factors that draw investors and buyers alike.

Abhisra highlights the strong tourism industry, with its consistent influx of visitors, driving demand for rental properties.

According to Maeo, “There is a strong tourism industry, with a high demand for rental properties due to a consistent flow of tourists.” She also points out that property laws favour foreigners, stating, “Property laws are also favourable, as foreigners can own condominiums outright, making it easier for foreign buyers to invest.” Moreover, Thailand’s robust and growing economy further fuels demand for properties, while its strategic location serves as a gateway to Southeast Asia, attracting both business and leisure travelers.

Certain regions and cities in Thailand are particularly favoured by international buyers. Among them, Bangkok stands as a major hub for business, culture, and tourism.

As Abhisra explains, “Bangkok is a major hub for business, culture, and tourism. It offers a wide range of properties, from luxury condominiums in the city centre to more affordable options on the outskirts.”

She adds that Bangkok’s vibrant lifestyle, top-notch infrastructure, and diverse amenities make it an appealing choice.

Phuket, known for its pristine beaches and vibrant nightlife, captures the hearts of tourists and property investors alike. This island paradise offers a variety of properties, including luxury villas, condominiums,

and beachfront resorts. Abhisra emphasises that “the strong tourism industry and international connectivity contribute to its popularity.”

Ko Samui, a tropical haven renowned for its idyllic beaches and relaxed ambiance, is another hotspot for international buyers. Its range of properties, including luxury villas and beachfront resorts, all set amidst stunning natural surroundings, attracts investors. According to Abhisra, “Ko Samui’s investment potential, and being 30% cheaper than Phuket make it an attractive choice for those seeking a tranquil and idyllic living environment.”

Abhisra points out that “Condominiums, particularly in bustling Bangkok, are highly sought after by expatriates and foreign investors because they have convenient amenities.” She also notes that “Villas and luxury homes are mostly purchased by foreigners looking to live in popular beach destination cities such as Phuket and Samui.

“The process of purchasing property in Thailand involves several steps and legal requirements,” she states. “Once you have identified a property, you may be required to sign a reservation agreement and pay a reservation deposit to secure the property.” She further adds, “It is crucial to engage a qualified Thai lawyer who specialises in real estate transactions to represent you throughout the process.”

Foreigners have several ownership options in Thailand, as Abhisra explains. She highlights the Thai Condominium Act of 1979, which allows foreigners to own up to 49% of the total unit space in a condominium project. Additionally, she clarifies the leasehold option, stating, “A leasehold is essentially a prepaid rental agreement where the property or land price is secured in advance.”

Abhisra also touches upon buying land through a company and the unique BOI Investment option.

She says, “The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) offers various kinds of promoting privileges, business licenses, tax holidays, import duty exemptions, and other benefits to foreign investors, including buying property as well.”

Beyond property investment, Thailand offers a rich tapestry of cultural and natural wonders. Its vibrant street food scene presents a myriad of flavours, from fiery Somtam to the delicate Khaosoi curry. As Abhisra aptly summarises, “Thailand is a culinary delight,” with Michelin-starred restaurants and charming artisan coffee shops adding to the country’s allure.

llend is a design and research office that specialises in creating unique identities across various fields, such as architecture, landscape, interiors, furniture and lighting design. With their expertise, they have received several international distinctions for their distinctive architectural identities in both residential and commercial projects.

The retrofit of the 500m2 radiotherapy oncology wing at IASO Medical Group in Maroussi, Attica, is an excellent example of Bllend’s design prowess. The project involved integrating a new 297m2 sector seamlessly and creating a modern, supportive shell that incorporates wellness elements to enhance the therapeutic environment. The project aimed to provide a sense of security and protection for both patients and medical staff.

The design process involved literature research, empirical data collection, and analysis, including observations and interviews with medical staff, patients, and family members, to create custom curved

kitchenettes, bespoke artwork, wayfinding panels and a free-flowing Corian reception area. The team also incorporated state-of-theart linear accelerators, adhered to strict design and antimicrobial material requirements, and minimised disruption to daily operations.

Creating a strong contrast of colour in the waiting areas, corridors, and therapy rooms, shifting spatial boundaries, the design served as a metaphorical transition from darkness to the bright path of healing.

The materials and textures had an earthy palette, and aromatherapy from Mediterranean herbs and aromatics provided a relaxing atmosphere for visitors. Signage design was emphasised, incorporating light sources from RGB LEDs to guide patients along their path while reinforcing feelings of hope and optimism.

Bllend’s design approach is unique and commendable for its emphasis on creating purposeful designs that promote well-being, sustainability and longevity.

Five Star Residence

I 2023-2024

n the heart of District l. in Bratislava, Slovakia, a married couple with one child and another on the way had a vision for their new home. Originally two separate apartments on the fourth level of the luxurious Five Star Residence Condominium, the couple decided to combine them into a large and modern family haven, designed to radiate calmness and elegance.

The couple’s requirements were clear: a clean, modern design with a bright and airy atmosphere. They wanted a combination of wood decor and light colours, unified floors with a soft texture, and a kitchen with a large island/semi-island. Additionally, they desired a dedicated area for a bar, a low-maintenance dining table, and most of the storage spaces cleverly hidden in the living room.

The living room was designed to be a multifunctional space, incorporating a screening projector and an area for a piano. A chill-out zone was created within the living room, partially elevated to emphasise its uniqueness, while brushed gold accents were strategically placed to add a touch of sparkle and elegance.

Moving to the kitchen, careful attention was given to joints and connections where various materials meet, ensuring a seamless and cohesive look. The design allowed the kitchen to serve as both a cooking and entertaining space, complementing the openness of the living room.

Throughout the home, lighting played a pivotal role in enhancing the design. It not only served as a decorative addition but also emphasised the simplicity of surface treatments, allowing them to shine.

Villa Mia

The bathroom spaces featured large format tiles to minimise joints, and wood decor was used to add warmth to these areas. The master suite’s wood slate ceiling served as a visual focal point without overpowering the overall calming ambiance.

Villa Mia, a beautiful two-storey family house in District V. of Bratislava, Slovakia, was built with a minimalist and modern design that emphasises a connection with the surrounding nature. This truly unique home features naturallooking materials combined with high-end technology, and hard floor surfaces. The open kitchen with dining is linked directly to the oneof-a-kind living area. The lower kitchen cabinets are partially cladded with stone-look tiles to create contrast with taller eye-catching wood decor cabinets.

The living room has free-standing furniture to maintain a comfortable and large quality of space. The en suite bathroom on the second floor has a complete open concept with no division from the bedroom area, creating a more fluid-like feeling when moving around the space. The kid’s room maintains the hard surface treatment, but a lighter colour palette is introduced to soften the image.

These two beautiful homes in Bratislava, Slovakia, showcase how a clear vision and a skilled design team can transform separate spaces into a cohesive and elegant family haven. From the clean and modern design to the emphasis on natural materials and functional space sequencing, these homes offer a glimpse into what is possible when form and function work in harmony.

CONE, an 18,800m2 office building in Belval, Luxembourg, is a shining example of a workspace designed for co-creation and collaboration.

The building’s layout addresses the future need for flexible and safe working environments. It also references the rich industrial heritage of Belval, revitalising the area by making a positive contribution to the site and its surroundings. Situated in a new city quarter that combines research, education, leisure, and commerce, ICONE is designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent certification.

The design team rose to the challenge of designing in the industrial context of the former steelworks factory to create a vernacular that responds to its surroundings.

The building is arranged as two wings enclosing the central atrium, with communal green landscaped terraces for informal

meetings and break-out spaces at higher levels.

The building’s entrances are articulated differently in response to Porte de France, the main urban street to the west and the Place de l’Académie to the east. New shops, cafés, and restaurants bring life to these entrance elevations at the pedestrian level.

The atrium resolves the level changes between the street and the plaza through a series of stepped terraces that create a spectacular arrival sequence.

The façade is both structural and environmentally responsive, providing an integrated solution that allows for columnfree office spaces as well as solar shading and maximised internal daylight. The office tenant, the bank Société Générale Luxembourg, has developed tailor-made spaces that participate in the well-being of their team members, such as a gym, a music room, and a concierge.

ana Banely Design, renowned for their creative and innovative projects, has recently completed two remarkable ventures that showcase their expertise in architectural and interior design.

These projects, namely the restoration of a 19th-century villa in Opatija and the creation of the Boutique Dental Clinic Premium Smile, are prime examples of the studio’s ability to seamlessly blend history, artistry, and functionality.

The villa in Opatija, a true architectural gem, captures the essence of Viennese Art Nouveau with its intricate facade and mesmerising geometric patterns. Lana Banely Design retained the villa’s original charm while infusing modern elements into the interior spaces. By preserving the villa’s layout and making subtle adjustments, the team enhanced functionality and privacy, ensuring a harmonious living experience.

The grand balcony, serving as a link between the interior and exterior, inspired

the design of the luxurious interior, featuring geometric shapes, sumptuous wall coverings, and a captivating sense of elegance.

Meanwhile, the Boutique Dental Clinic Premium Smile introduces a cosmopolitan vibe to the realm of dental care. Dr. Berislav Mostarac, a pioneer in smile makeovers, envisioned a clinic dedicated to privacy and discretion. Lana Banely Design brought this vision to life by creating an open and spacious layout, removing unnecessary walls and rooms.

The clinic’s sleek and airy white colour scheme, complemented by touches of gold, focuses on elegance and luxury. The clever use of glass partitions, equipped with an electromagnetic foil, allows for seamless transformation from transparency to opacity, ensuring privacy between the reception and working areas.

Both projects exemplify Lana Banely Design’s commitment to creating captivating spaces that integrate architectural beauty with artistic design.

One of CK’s noteworthy projects was the Logara Residence, a historical family home dating back to 1890, now in its fourth generation of ownership.

features while incorporating practical updates and a cohesive design theme. Situated in the remote village of Dematora, the Logara Residence is surrounded by the natural beauty of Kefalonia.

Close to the award-winning Petani beach and other historic villages, the property offers a tranquil retreat to be enjoyed by the extended Logara family all year round.

The remodelled ground floor now features a welcoming bedroom, a new bathroom, and an open-plan living and kitchen area. The upper floor was reconfigured to include a lobby, two bedrooms, a large dining/living area, and a fully redesigned kitchen and bathroom.

CK’s work showcased the family’s heirlooms while incorporating new elements with a stylish touch. The exterior received equal attention, with concrete paving, a cosy seating area and a fully-featured outdoor kitchen.

The property’s old well was artfully restored to become a unique design feature, adding to the charm of the space.

illarroel Torrico is a renowned international architectural studio established in 1974 by the celebrated architect Melvin Villarroel and currently managed by his sons Pablo and Matías Villarroel. The studio specialises in designing multi-family housing developments, singlefamily houses, and tourist and recreational complexes, with a focus on achieving a balance between nature, economy and construction.

The studio’s team of experts supports developers in all aspects of an architectural project, providing value engineering from the early stages to maximise its potential. One of the studio’s strengths is creating a destination with a high added value in all the places where it operates.

Villa Enso is an exceptional modern mansion located in the exclusive La Zagaleta country club in Marbella, designed by Villarroel Torrico. The mansion boasts

16 bedrooms and is situated on a 6,800m2 plot on the highest mountain ridge in the resort, offering stunning panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, North Africa, and Gibraltar. The villa’s design was tailored to meet the client’s requirements, including showcasing the client’s collection of sports and luxury cars, and to provide clear panoramic views of the sea and Gibraltar from all rooms.

Villa Enso’s design is a representation of the best of Marbella, with sleek, gently rounded lines, Mediterranean rooftiles and Portuguese Pedra Calçada tiling in the forecourt. The style is modern, flowing, and with rounded shapes that soften the volume of the property and follow the natural topography. The mansion’s large-format floor tiles are in matt Limra marble from Greece, and the gently curved roofline enhances the mansion’s impression, placing it in a different category than is typically seen in the luxury market.
