s we welcome the May/June issue of International Property & Travel Magazine, I’m excited to take you on yet another trip into the world of beautiful properties and world-class locations.

This edition, we focus on Mayfair, a charming and historically significant district in London. Charles Lloyd, Beauchamp Estates’ Head of Mayfair Sales, extends an invitation for us to stroll through its well-known streets, where a tale is waiting to be found around every corner. Mayfair makes an impression with its stylish boutiques and stately residences.

In the meantime, we find ourselves on the sun-drenched shores of Antigua & Barbuda during our Caribbean exploration. As a Jamaican citizen, I can vouch for the beauty of every Caribbean island, including Antigua and Barbuda. With its pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and welcoming locals, this country offers a true taste of Caribbean paradise that is simply irresistible.

Dreams soar as high as Dubai’s famous skyline, it’s a city that is continuously reinventing itself.

Dubai provides a wide range of attractions and experiences that captivate the senses and create a lasting impression, from imposing skyscrapers to vibrant souks.

We head to Europe once more and explore the picturesque regions of Malta and Cyprus.

These historic locations invite us to discover their rich history and natural beauty with a blend of old-world charm and modern luxury.

These remarkable locations, will allow us to embrace the spirit of exploration and adventure.

I hope this issue encourages you to travel, make investments, and make priceless experiences whether your vision is of a break in Antigua and Barbuda or a glitzy getaway in Mayfair.

EXPLORE THE CUTTING-EDGE OF UNIQUE DESIGN IN THIS INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO HARMONIOUS URBAN LIVING

Keturah Reserve in Meydan is the first development in the Middle East to immerse residents in nature through Bio Living. The project offers transformational living through its spatial design, where nature is incorporated into the built environment to improve occupants’ physical, mental, and emotional health.

Bio Living creates the perfect synergy between interior design, architecture, and landscape with complete respect for the surrounding ecosystem.

Keturah Reserve features 93 townhouses, 90 villas, and 540 units across six apartment block buildings. The project was developed to foster a thriving and harmonious community with communal spaces like The Park (featuring open-air meditation and exercise zones), an outdoor pool, and women’s and men’s gyms and spas.

Just as with the architecture, activities such as the Pilates Studio, WaterBike pool, Silk Rope classes, and a rooftop meditation and yoga space are all designed to develop and strengthen the body’s core from the inside out.

Keturah Reserve homes are uniquely designed from the inside out using the Golden Mean principle of proportion and ratio to create harmony in space. Both interiors and architecture are crafted from the same raw materials and colours to subtly merge the architecture with the surrounding desert landscape.

“New Luxury is all about experience. I want to give people a space to connect, with their family, with their mind, with themselves, and with all aspects of their life. I want to create something with an authentic value that will endure for generations; a beautiful development, beautifully crafted, with a trusted developer. We are building a brand that people can trust and buy into blindly,” says Talal Al Gaddah, Founder, and CEO of Keturah.

Prime PICKS Mayfair’s property market ascends to new heights

Jessica Bishop Advisor DDRE Global

ourneying through Mayfair’s property market reveals a host of insights from seasoned experts. Charles Lloyd, Head of Mayfair Sales at Beauchamp Estates, paints an evocative picture, describing Mayfair as the quintessential heart of central London, steeped in history and coupled with an authentic ‘village’ ambiance. Charles elaborates, “The area is visually pleasing, both in respect of architecture and variety of homes available, in addition to which it is well maintained. Home to world class shops and restaurants it also hosts the capital’s most exclusive members clubs and hotels.

“As an urban village, alongside London’s other ultra-prime areas Knightsbridge and Marylebone, Mayfair has a distinct vibe that is both historical and contemporary”, Charles continues. “The grandeur of the period properties sits well alongside discreet contemporary luxury. The slightly smaller scale, in comparison to many of the profile properties in Belgravia squares and modern Knightsbridge developments bring an intimacy to the area, which a wide range of buyers find enticing.”

Charles Lloyd Head of Mayfair Sales Beauchamp Estates

London IP&T_31N3.indd 1

“The notoriously inaccessible art scene is also curated in Mayfair; the galleries, the openings, the auctions - those in the know are living there and are discreetly walking street to street bidding millions of pounds with passers-by having no idea who they are.”

Head of Sales for Knight Frank Mayfair office, Alastair Nicholson emphasises, “Mayfair represents the gold standard of property in Central London.

The area is internationally renowned for its famous fashion boutiques, restaurants, hotels and private members’ clubs. All of these have risen in numbers over the past few years and so too has the desirability of the area - Mayfair truly is a cosmopolitan global destination for the ultra-wealthy.”

Investigating DDRE Global’s Advisor Jessica Bishop’s discourse on Mayfair’s elegance, she delves into the nuanced appeal of the neighbourhood.

Jessica articulates, “Mayfair isn’t necessarily known for being ‘cool,’ but for its quality and discretion...

Some may think it goes against the grain to purchase in the most notable monopoly board location, in order to gain discretion, but the services of the buildings, and the independent boutiques of Burlington arcade and discreet quiet roads such as Shepherds market, Grosvenor Hill, and Hill Street make it feel very intimate.

Alastair’s reflections on Mayfair’s future prospects seamlessly transition back to Charles’ optimistic vision of ongoing enhancements elevating Mayfair’s residential intrigue. Charles expresses, “With numerous public realm improvements underway…

Mayfair’s attractiveness as a residential destination is poised for further elevation.”

Expanding on the economic trends shaping Mayfair’s market dynamics, Jessica notes, “Demand for quality stock in Mayfair consistently outstrips supply. Scarcity has intensified following Westminster City Council’s restrictions on new apartments over 2,000 sq. ft.”

London – Properties

London IP&T_31N3.indd 2

Alexander Broadfoot, Sales Director and Private Office Advisor at Engel & Völkers London, summarises the current state and projected trends of Mayfair’s real estate market, stating: “London isn’t immune to global market trends, however destination locations such as Mayfair can be better insulated owing to a seller’s unwillingness to release a prime asset and a buyer’s desire to secure the perfect property.

“Demand is high and the top properties remain a well-kept secret.

We have seen an increased demand for high-valued premium short-lets as well as strong demand for super-prime commercial spaces. Despite the current talk of company’s departing the office model, owning a prime Mayfair commercial address elevates your company on a global platform, as well as acting as a magnet for the top talent.”

“Mayfair represents the gold standard of property in Central London.”

Regarding the crucial factors enhancing property values and desirability in Mayfair, Alexander emphasises: “Mayfair is fortunate to benefit from fantastic transport links including Green Park Tube station and Bond Street providing easy access across the city and beyond. The area itself has seen significant investment from the Grosvenor estate to ensure it retains its position as the premier London destination, as well as enhancing its Victorian facade.”

Alastair Nicholson Head of Sales Knight Frank’s Mayfair office

On emerging architectural trends shaping Mayfair’s unique character, Alexander notes: “Developments in Mayfair have, across the board, ensured that they meet the expected standard for the area; luxury, lifestyle and, dare I say, louche.

Mayfair provides its residents with access to the finest things in life, rubbing shoulders with high society.”

Alexander Broadfoot Sales Director and

Jessica adds insight into the exclusivity of Mayfair, emphasising its private members’ clubs as a key draw, stating, “Humanity loves exclusivity. A key likeability of Mayfair is that it is home to some of the capital’s most exclusive private members’ clubs – they really do give people a reason to be in Mayfair and buy here. We’re now seeing other areas trying to follow suit, with one soon to be opening in Kensington.

Transportation links are irrelevant for those buying in Mayfair. In fact, that’s what makes it desirable.

Everyone has a driver or is within walking distance of everything they need.”

Alastair rounds out the discussion with a forwardlooking perspective, stating, “Mayfair has an enduring appeal and as long as the amenities that make the area so cosmopolitan and affluent are still in existence there is no doubt that this most glamorous destination in central London and will remain so.

Mayfair exhibits a unique charm and also mysticism.

The amenities that exist cater to that market. Whilst historically Mayfair comprised a large proportion of offices, now it offers best in class residential properties. Its adaptability over time proves there is no reason to believe that the area won’t remain at the top of the pile.”

The creative energy is palpable, urging guests to be inspired by their surroundings and discover a calm peacefulness within its walls.

When it comes to dining, indulge in the exquisite Butternut Squash Soup and Wood Fired Butterflied Sea Bass, showcasing the culinary prowess of the Art Yard Bar & Kitchen, where fresh seasonal ingredients shine.

MOMENTUM A thriving location amidst economic growth and architectural innovation ed by a dynamic mix of factors, including economic vibrancy and cultural richness, Manchester’s real estate landscape distinguishes itself from other locations in England.

Jamie Adam Director and Head of Residential Development Sales Savills, Manchester

Jason Watkins CEO Lomond Group, Manchester Brands

Manchester – Properties

manchester IP&T_31N1.indd 2

According to Jamie Adam, Director and Head of Residential Development Sales at Savills in Manchester, the city’s appeal stems from a multitude of factors. “There are a number of factors which have contributed to Manchester flourishing beyond just the residential market,” notes Jamie. “As one of the fastest-growing UK cities, driven by growth in commercial occupiers, first-class developments, and high-quality job opportunities, there are more 25-29 year-olds living in the region than anywhere else in the country.”

Jason Watkins, CEO of Lomond Group, Manchester Brands, concurs, emphasising the city’s economic vibrancy as a key driver of its property market. “Firstly, the city has experienced significant economic growth and development, with a thriving job market and a strong presence in industries like technology, finance, and creative sectors,” says Jason.

Unlike the sky-high property prices of London, Manchester offers a more accessible housing market, making it an enticing destination for investors and homebuyers alike.

Recent economic trends have only bolstered Manchester’s property market. “Demand for city centre apartments has remained strong for a number of years in Manchester,” explains Jamie.

“With working patterns as a result of the pandemic contributing to a 37.8% increase in mean average rental growth for new lets over the three-year period between 2020 and 2023.”

Crucial to Manchester’s real estate appeal are its robust amenities, transportation links, and local infrastructure. Jamie highlights the city’s extensive Metrolink system, which accommodated 36 million passenger journeys during the 2022/23 financial year. “It is this ease of access through the heart of the city and its surrounds, coupled with regular direct rail services to London in 2h 6m, which enhances its appeal,” he states. Jason underscores the importance of proximity to quality schools, healthcare facilities, and recreational spaces, along with efficient public transportation options and connectivity to major road networks.

Architecturally, Manchester showcases a blend of modernity and heritage preservation. “The standard of residential development, both in terms of scale and design, is the most striking change in the past few years,” observes Jamie. “A higher quality of architecture, development, and the proposition of high-quality amenities highlight the ambition being shown by both developers and Manchester as a whole.”

Looking ahead, both experts are optimistic about Manchester’s property market prospects. Jamie predicts, “Over the next five years house prices in the North West of England are expected to increase by 20.2%, with Manchester expected to outperform regional cities for house price growth.”

Jason believes that the city’s appeal as a vibrant urban centre positions it for sustained growth, but he also cautions, “Nonetheless, vigilance towards factors such as interest rates, government policies, and economic fluctuations remains imperative for informed decision-making in the property market.”

CARIBBEAN BLISS Explore the dynamic property market of Antigua and Barbuda through the lens of industry experts he property market in Antigua & Barbuda is experiencing a surge in interest and demand, driven by its unique features, robust economy, and growing tourism sector.

Rufus Gobat, Sales Director at Pearns Point, and Chris Parra, Managing Director at One Caribbean Estates, provide valuable insights into the current state and future prospects of the property market in this Caribbean gem.

Chris Parra Managing Director One Caribbean Estates

Rufus Gobat Sales Director Pearns Point, Antigua

Rufus provides a comprehensive overview of the current market in Antigua, underscoring the strong demand for top-tier properties. He remarks, “The top end of the Antigua property market remains strong, with demand outpacing a fairly restricted supply with very few genuine beachfront property opportunities such as Pearns Point available.” This scarcity, coupled with an increase in demand from both North American and European buyers, has propelled prices upwards by as much as 30% in certain areas. Notably, Antigua’s appeal has extended to “digital nomads,” individuals who, having experienced the island’s lifestyle during the pandemic, have transitioned from visitors to investors.

Chris echoes similar sentiments, noting the steady growth and rising demand across residential and investment properties within the Antigua and Barbuda market. He states, “The property market has been experiencing steady growth, with an increase in demand for both residential and investment properties.” This upward trajectory is particularly pronounced in prime locales such as coastal areas and luxury developments.

46 International Property & Travel

Antigua & Barbuda IP&T_31N3.indd 1

Antigua & Barbuda’s pull extends far beyond its picturesque vistas, as Chris highlights, “Antigua & Barbuda offer a unique blend of stunning natural beauty, a favourable climate, and a range of attractions making it an appealing destination for property buyers and investors,” he remarks.

Navigating the legal and regulatory landscape of property ownership in Antigua requires a nuanced understanding, as Rufus explains. He notes, “Land title ownership is based on a registered block and parcel system,” underlining the necessity for buyers to engage local attorneys for the requisite legal checks. Additionally, non-nationals must obtain an Alien Landholding License, with further taxes applicable. Chris elaborates on this, stressing the importance of due diligence, legal representation, and an understanding of property taxes and residency options for international buyers.

The demand for properties in Antigua & Barbuda spans a diverse array of options, as both experts indicate. Rufus underscores the premium placed on water and beachfront properties in Antigua, while Chris expands on this for both Antigua and Barbuda, identifying the high demand for beachfront villas, waterfront condos, gated communities, income-generating properties, and land for development.

Looking towards the horizon, Chris paints a picture of promise and growth for the Antigua and Barbuda property market. “The property market in Antigua & Barbuda is poised for sustained growth and promising future prospects,” he states. Factors such as the thriving tourism industry, Citizenship by Investment programme, infrastructure development, foreign investment, and sustainable development initiatives all contribute to this optimistic outlook.

In conclusion, Antigua & Barbuda stands as a veritable paradise for property investors, offering not just financial returns but a lifestyle beyond compare. With its azure waters, golden sands, and investorfriendly environment, it continues to captivate the imaginations of investors worldwide, beckoning them to partake in its bountiful offerings.

GALLERY GLIMPSES Andrea Marechal Watson lines up a sizzling collection of summer shows across the world Temptaion of St Anthony Pieter Bruegel the Elder, c. 1525–1569 Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford

BRUEGEL TO RUBENS: GREAT FLEMISH DRAWINGS This exhibition is devoted entirely to drawings and unites works from Flanders with the substantial collection in the Ashmolean Museum.

What is particularly compelling is that many of the 120 sketches and print designs are so sensitive to light damage that they are rarely exhibited, and some 30 have never been displayed before, allowing the boast that this is “a once in a lifetime show.”

Among the highlights are a sketchbook in which a young Rubens copied Holbein’s Dance of Death woodcuts; intricate drawings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder including the bizarre Temptation of St Anthony; portrait studies by Anthony van Dyck, and examples of rare ‘friendship albums’, gifts given between artists and peers. Much of the work is worlds away from the conventional Flemish art we know: the meticulous portraits; elaborate

altarpieces and epic allegorical panels. Here however we find some of the bones that built them, including many studies for world famous paintings.

Delicate sketches by Antwerp’s favorite son, Rubens, come as a surprise from the master of vast and florid allegorical scenes.

The inspiration for Ruben’s The Abbot and Death originated from his travels in Germany where he came across Holbein’s book of woodcuts, Danse Macabre. The subject was banned by the Catholic Inquisition for suggesting all men – however holy – become equal in the face of death. “It’s extraordinary that Rubens had these illicit images in his possession,” says curator An Van Camp.

Bruegel’s sketch for his Temptation of Saint Anthony, a howling disembodied head topped by a fish and surrounded by demonic demi-creatures, people and amphibians, is so rich in nightmarish imagery that we can hardly bear to look at it… or tear ourselves away. The contrast with other works – tender portraits of children and meticulous studies of insects and flowers – only adds to the appeal of this unmissable exhibition.

Until June 23rd at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK.

It is the Venice Biennale once more and throughout the summer and autumn hundreds of thousands of art lovers will throng the famous squares, narrow streets and busy canals of La Serenissima. There’s really no good time to avoid the crowds and the only sensible way to tackle the abundance of art is a good pair of shoes and a selective list.

Considered by some among the greatest artworks found in Africa, many of these sculptures and plaques have ended up in museums and collections in Britain, Germany and America.

Nigeria and other African nations are not alone in calling for their restitution – German, American and some British museums have returned or made agreements to return the Benin Bronzes they hold.

IN THE EYE OF THE STORM: MODERNISM IN UKRAINE, 1900–1930S

With the Summer Exhibition in full swing downstairs at the Royal Academy, upstairs a selection of just 70 artworks that distill Ukraine’s place in the story of European modernism have been assembled.

Underpinning the show is the message of Ukraine’s search for self-government in the troubled times encompassing the First World War and Russian Revolution.

The cultural profile of Ukraine includes elements deriving from the fusion of Ukrainian, Polish, Russian and Jewish elements. A single national style that would mark out Ukraine’s statehood and cultural autonomy was the somewhat wild aspiration of some of the artists of this period. For a while in the 1920s, art, literature, theatre and cinema all flourished.

Among the artists on show who emerged from this complex historical background are Alexander Archipenko, Sonia Delaunay and Kazymyr Malevych.

Divided into six small sections, they espoused movements like Cubo-Futurism, an amalgam of ideas absorbed from the capital cities of Western Europe.

One room features the Kultur Lige movement, a conglomerate of Jewish artists such as El Lissitzky, Issakhar Ber Ryback and Sarah Shor while another looks at Early Soviet Ukraine and the artistic hubs of Kharkiv - briefly the capital - and Kyiv.

The show ends with a section dedicated to the Last Generation, whose artistic activities were cut short in 1932 with the Soviet Union’s abolition of all independent art groups and the imposition of socialist realism as the single official artistic style.

The notion that Cubism, Futurism or some other-ism would somehow save the world seems far-fetched today and perhaps speaks of an innocence that the first half of the 20th century rapidly destroyed.

African and African-descent experiences. It is part of the ongoing discourse on African and Black liberation and the intellectual and philosophical movements with this.

The exhibition’s title is inspired by the 2019 Netflix series When They See Us directed by Ava DuVernay and based on a true story. In the mini-series five teenage boys from Harlem become trapped in a nightmare when they’re falsely accused of a brutal attack in Central Park. Replacing “they” with “we” in the title of the exhibition made a crucial shift in perspective – the works on show bring into focus the artists’ lived realities as subject of their own art.

A LOST ARCHIVE A London residence has recently become a private museum showing the forgotten archive of the American photographer William John Kennedy (d.2021).

From April, visitors may – by prior arrangement – immerse themselves in the records of bohemian New York life and many of its most fascinating characters including Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana.

In the mid 1990s Kennedy and his wife stumbled on a trove of negatives and transparencies which they had thought lost. They document the year that Kennedy met Indiana and became friends. Kennedy went on to meet and photograph Warhol and his circle including Gerard Malanga, Ultra Violet and Taylor Mead.

“Andy was this strange bird. When I was in his company, he was very shy, you had to draw him out,” Kennedy recalled in an interview before he died. “He was much more relaxed with Bill (Robert). Bill came up with all these ideas for pictures – getting Andy to wear paintings like sandwich boards or pose behind the acetate for his Marilyn Monroe screen prints – and Andy went along with them.”

Highlights of the archive include a portrait of Indiana with his most famous creation, Love, one of the world’s most reproduced artworks. There are also unusual colour photographs of Warhol that show him in personal, unguarded poses and have been called the most intimate portraits of Warhol ever seen.

CYPRUS “The country boasts 340 sunny days per year, a clean environment, excellent education, and medical care.”

Ancient City Salamis, Famagusta, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

Situated in the heart of the Mediterranean, Cyprus boasts more than just its stunning landscapes and ancient history. With its booming property market, it has become a hub for high-end living, attracting the attention of investors and affluent individuals worldwide.

Anastasia Yianni, CEO of Cyprus Sotheby’s International Realty, provides insights into the current state of this market and what makes Cyprus such an attractive destination.

Anastasia Yianni CEO Cyprus Sotheby’s International Realty

“The luxury market in Cyprus is in high demand,” Anastasia notes, “Attracting attention from wealthy individuals and businesses alike.”

Despite a slight reduction compared to the previous year, Cyprus continues to attract investors with its favourable business conditions and enviable lifestyle.

But what is it that makes Cyprus so irresistible?

Anastasia’s enthusiasm is palpable as she explains the island’s virtues. “Cyprus is an amazing place to live,” she declares. “The country boasts 340 sunny days per year, a clean environment, excellent education, and medical care.” And let’s not forget the food, a cornerstone of Cypriot culture and cuisine.

124 International Property & Travel

Europe IP&T_31N3.indd 2

High-end living in Cyprus offers two distinct options - single-family homes and lavish condos. For the former, privacy, expansive views, and lush gardens are paramount. Meanwhile, the appeal of condo living lies in its on-site amenities - from concierge services to spas and tennis courts, each detail crafted to elevate the living experience.

For investors eyeing the luxury property market in Cyprus, Anastasia stresses the importance of location, security, and quality of services. These considerations, she notes, are the pillars upon which successful investments are built.

But what about returns? Anastasia sheds light on the potential rental income, noting yields in the range of 4-6%. It’s a promising figure that underscores the viability of Cyprus as an investment destination.

As we peer into the future, Anastasia’s optimism is contagious. “The future is bright,” she asserts. “With the country’s economy growing, more workplaces being created, and families relocating to Cyprus, the demand for real estate continues to soar.”

The primary objective was to create a twostorey house where all areas would have a strong connection with the outdoor garden and pool, while also maintaining privacy from the main road and neighbouring houses.

The challenge lay in designing a family home with expansive “window walls” framing various views of the outdoor garden, maximising the indoor-outdoor experience while ensuring privacy and creating a secure microclimate for the inhabitants.

MALTA “Malta is fast becoming known as an investment powerhouse, offering a business-friendly environment and maximum growth potential.”

The enchantment of Malta as a premier destination for residing and investing has never been stronger.

According to Benji Psaila, Head of Sales & Letting at Malta Sotheby’s International Realty, the current state of the luxury property market in Malta reflects a dynamic shift in buyer preferences, catalysed by the pandemic. Benji notes, “Buyers are increasingly seeking waterfront luxury apartments, larger homes, and investing in land and luxury villas with outdoor space, all while remaining close to urban centres.”

Benji Psaila Head of Sales & Letting Malta Sotheby’s International Realty

One significant trend is the rising demand for properties within luxury lifestyle developments, appointed as “Special Designated Areas.” Benji highlights these developments as particularly appealing to foreigners due to the property rights they afford, akin to those of Maltese citizens. These developments offer an array of amenities such as 24/7 security, concierge services, pools, and gyms, making them ideal for investors seeking lock-upand-go properties.

Malta’s intrinsic attractions and activities further enhance its desirability as a place to live. Benji underscores Malta’s 300 days of sunshine, crystalclear waters, and picturesque beaches as primary draws for luxury travellers and investors alike.

Additionally, Malta’s rich cultural heritage, stable economy, and vibrant tradition contribute to its appeal.

villas offer contemporary amenities such as indoor and outdoor pools, private gyms, and home theatres.

Lifestyle developments provide a luxurious yet low-maintenance option for discerning buyers.

For investors eyeing the Maltese luxury property market, location reigns supreme. Malta’s strategic position between Europe and Africa positions it as an ideal investment hub, facilitating global enterprise and trade. Moreover, proximity to key amenities such as shopping districts, dining establishments, and recreational facilities adds value to luxury properties.

Benji emphasises that rental yields for luxury properties in Malta typically range from 4-6% per annum, with properties leased for a minimum of one year and often fully furnished. Looking ahead, Malta’s robust economy, forecasted to grow by 4.6% in 2024 and 4.3% in 2025, coupled with its stable political climate, bodes well for the property market. Benji concludes, “Malta is fast becoming known as an investment powerhouse, offering a business-friendly environment and maximum growth potential.”

The architectural landscape of Malta offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern opulence.

Benji notes that character homes, some dating back centuries, boast distinctive features like vaulted ceilings and limestone walls. Conversely, modern 132 International Property & Travel

St. Regis Experience Centre

In the heart of Dubai’s City Walk, the St. Regis Experience Centre offers a glimpse into the future of branded luxury living in Downtown Dubai. Approximately 2,500 sq. ft. in size, the project was designed to allow potential homeowners to experience one of 232 units from the upcoming St. Regis Residences on Financial Centre Road, Dubai. Based on the client’s brief, to reflect UAE’s rich heritage and the St. Regis brand’s elegance and sophistication, the original units were inspired by traditional Areesh houses, the surrounding nature, and cultural practices such as pearl diving and Arabic coffee. These inspirations are reflected in the choice of materials and surfaces, exactly mirrored in the show home.

Located amidst the bustling Dubai Business Bay, you’ll find The Opus, a sculptured twintower complex by the legendary Zaha Hadid.

XBD Management

XBD had been briefed by its client, Modern Working, to not only create their headquarters at this iconic landmark, but to also include individual workspaces and offices that could be rented out.

Covering 8,400 sq. ft., this space integrates coworking areas, private offices, an art gallery, and an amphitheatre-style seating area, fostering collaboration, creativity, and innovation. The XBD design team paid great attention to the layouts, creating an environment that is both visually captivating and functionally efficient.

MixC Wuhan

MixC Wuhan

L

ead8’s MixC Wuhan is a new retail development that forms the centrepiece of a major lifestyle-driven urban destination for central China’s most populous city. The vision for the scheme was to be a jewel in the heart of the city. The concept looks to create an interactive city interface, creating a pulse in the central district and bringing an energy that harmonises with, yet also contrasts the city’s natural and urban edge. The destination is imagined as a place where people can shop, dine, live, work and be inspired – the heart of the community that nourishes a balanced life.

The landmark retail development features the 190,000m2 MixC retail mall and a pedestrian shopping street, which are connected to and support the wider mixed-use scheme including two commercial office towers and four residential buildings.

The Far Eastern Department Store design in Zhubei, Taiwan, introduces a distinctive

MixC Wuhan

and new addition to the department store experience in Hsinchu County and has also been welcomed as a platform for cultural inheritance in the area.

The development is located in Zhubei Zhuangjing North Road, adjacent to the Hsinchu Science Park and near the highspeed railway station. The department store is spread over eight above-ground levels and two basement levels with a design that has taken inspiration from the importance of celebrating local culture, innovatively re-imagining spaces using key values and elements of the Hakka culture.

Hakka culture is a dominant part of the surrounding Hsinchu Country with Hakka family groups accounting for over 80% of the total population. The design team sought to interpret elements from the local culture through the use of colour, texture and lighting, and transpose them into different settings to create an array of experiences for visitors.

Nantong Golden Eagle World

Nantong Golden Eagle World is located in the heart of a new Central Business District and is one of the developer’s most prestigious sites in China. The brief for the scheme was to conceive an integrated, visionary mixed-use project that would form a new contemporary and meaningful world-class city centre for Nantong.

The site enjoys views of the surrounding Langshan mountains, the urban cityscape and the world-famous Yangtze river. Canals flow through plots of the site, creating a waterfront landscape and opportunities for active waterside experiences and people-centric outdoor pedestrian networks throughout this part of the city. The scheme comprises an incredible line-up of waterfront retail, F&B

streets, super high-rise towers, premium office, hotel and service apartments. With a total land area of 16,000m2, the development will spread across 650,000m2 of above-ground space and a further 260,000m2 below ground.

Lead8 has demonstrated its ability to design and deliver innovative and culturally significant developments across China and Taiwan. From the celebration of Hakka culture in the design of the Far Eastern Department Store in Zhubei to the creation of a vibrant mixed-use destination in the heart of Wuhan, and the integration of a new city centre in Nantong, Lead8 has shown its commitment to creating dynamic spaces that engage with their surroundings and enhance the lives of those who experience them.

ince its establishment in November 1993, Athens Economics Ltd – JLL Alliance Partner has evolved from an economics research and consulting company to a prominent player in the commercial real estate industry. Over the past 25 years, the company’s focus and workload have shifted significantly, with 95% of their operations now dedicated to property-related services.

Director Dika Agapitidou, a seasoned professional with experience in property research and investment strategy, founded the company. Her expertise in econometric forecasting for commercial property parameters, such as rents, yields, and total returns across European capitals, led to the establishment of Athens Economics Ltd. In parallel, she became the Alliance Partner for JLW (later JLL) in Greece, providing services to JLL’s international clients interested in the Greek market. Athens Economics Ltd proves itself with its multidisciplinary staff and commitment to high ethical standards. Their objective is to deliver top-notch service to both domestic and international clients, primarily representing private sector companies. With

a combination of local market knowledge and an international perspective, courtesy of Jones Lang LaSalle, the company strives for excellence and customer satisfaction.

In the past two years alone, Athens Economics Ltd has successfully advised and brokered some 65 commercial real estate investment and leasing transactions.

he design challenge presented to Haute Architecture DPC for the Chelsea Residence project in New York was transformative: expanding and optimising a six-storey brick townhouse. The primary objective was to reconfigure and expand the triplex penthouse, making it suitable for a family of five. Full-floor apartments below were also refreshed for a contemporary look.

A stunning rooftop terrace was also crafted on the newly expanded upper floor.

The sophisticated clients selected the design solution that maximized every available square foot while meticulously optimising the proportions of the triplex’s living spaces. Haute Architecture also proposed adding a glassfloored balcony at the rear, creating valuable usable space in the urban setting without sacrificing daylight for the rooms below.

Upon entering the dramatic double-height living space, one is greeted by expansive

windows and a pendant light sculpture.

Moving to the heart of the home – the kitchen and dining area – there is an open and interconnected space serving as the central hub for family gatherings. A breakfast bar at the north end provides views of the quintessential New York City street.

Upstairs, the primary suite occupies the entire top level. Translucent and blackout shades ensure privacy as needed, while operable skylights infuse the space with natural light and ventilation.

The rooftop terrace features a kitchen, dining area, and lounge space, crowned by the stair bulkhead. Concrete pavers underfoot ensure comfort, while glass guardrails frame uninterrupted vistas. Through meticulous attention to detail, innovative design choices, and a commitment to maximising every available square foot, Haute Architecture has breathed new life into this urban gem.

The Vivienda b/f project in Paraguay stands as a testament to thoughtful design amidst the lush landscape of Las Lomas neighbourhood in Asuncion. Spanning two lots, this residence elegantly balances social spaces for gatherings with private sanctuaries for the family. Embracing the verdant environment, the design seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living, with a significant garden and pool serving as focal points. Through innovative placement and orientation, the house fosters a connection to nature while maintaining privacy, offering a sanctuary within the bustling city.

l Jaddaf Rotana Suite Hotel, a visionary project by WA International, draws inspiration from the natural splendour of the nearby Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary in Dubai. The property is located less than 4 kilometres from this unique wetland reserve, which became the inspiration and narrative for the hotel.

The owner’s wish for generously oversized suites, ranging from 60m2 to 232m2, reflects a commitment to providing spacious luxury in Dubai’s competitive high-end market. WA International’s design director Claire Craig explains: “Throughout the hotel our references to the magnificent nearby mangroves with their tangled roots and rich colours can be found in our interior architectural patterns and finishes.

Our custom designed screens, furniture pieces and lighting all reflect the organic nature of the stunning Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.” For

the hotel’s ‘All Day Dining’ Claire adds, “Our client’s vision for the restaurant was not only to cater to the morning breakfast ritual but become a destination venue in the evening; the food concept was high-end Italian. In contrast to the rest of the hotel’s narrative we decided to create a unique classic Italian dining room. The floors are polished marble and oversized Italianate crystal chandeliers are suspended from the double height spaces.” For the apartments, Claire further explains, “In the studio and one-bedroom apartments, headboards feature hand embroidered scenes of the mangroves. Carpets are designed with leafy patterns. In the living rooms, organic plaster reliefs embellish the ceilings.” All of which contribute to the curated luxury evident throughout the Rotana Suite property, making it a stand-out destination in Dubai’s hospitality landscape.

 P D Corporation’ Core Pacific Plaza is more than just a commercial project – it’s a symbol of Taiwan’s commitment to sustainable construction and innovative design.

By 2025, the 16,485m tower will stand tall in Taipei’s Songshan District, setting a high standard for the city’s urban landscape.

But what sets this project apart is its dedication to fulfilling ESG’s sustainable development criteria. Core Pacific Plaza will receive international construction certificates such as LEED and WELL, as well as Taiwan’s Green Building Label, Intelligent Building Label, and Structure Accreditation Building certification. These outstanding certifications will ensure that the building meets the best and highest environmental, health, intelligence and safety standards.

But that’s not all. Core Pacific Plaza has achieved contribution incentives for its resilience, liveability and intelligence, thanks

to several innovative design features. The basement and first floor offer retail functions, while the public halls on the first and second floors feature stand-out high ceilings. The first basement level contains a cinema, conference hall, food court and dining spaces, while the third to nineteenth floors are dedicated to grade A offices.

What’s more, the plaza’s pedestrianfriendly streets contribute to its liveability and resilience, while the arbor greenery on the east side of Dongning Road shapes the viewing of the national historic site. The south side of the base is set back to an open space with an average depth of about 25 metres, while the west side of the base is combined with leisure and commercial trails to create an open space for large-scale public activities.

The Core Pacific Plaza, once completed, will become a new landmark in the city, reminding us of the importance of sustainable development and innovative design.

he Healing Ribbon project by Bllend Design & Research Office brings a profound and transformative touch to the IASO Medical Group’s radiotherapy oncology wing in Maroussi, Attica, Greece.

Spanning 500m2, the existing wing underwent a substantial retrofit, seamlessly integrating a new 297m2 sector while modernising the entire unit into a pleasantly supportive and therapeutic environment.

To achieve this, extensive research and collaboration were undertaken. Bllend’s team, in coordination with the medical group’s technical department, harmonised the design with cutting-edge technology, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations.

Empirical data collection and analysis, including interviews and observations, informed every aspect of the design process.

Considering research in innovative healthcare design, biophilic design and the impact of light and colour on human psychology and

wellness, a healing space was designed for all the participants of the healthcare services.

The final design is a testament to meticulous attention to detail. Geometric volumes are softened, and emotional wellbeing is promoted through visual stimuli from Mediterranean herbs and aromatics.

Lighting plays a crucial role, with indirect illumination accentuating curvature and alternating materials and colours. Signage design, often overlooked in healthcare settings, is re-imagined to guide patients optimistically through the space.

Every element, from materials to lighting to signage, is methodically applied to enhance the therapeutic effect, creating a beautifully serene and holistic healing environment. The project serves as a powerful case study of applied research and methodology in health infrastructure design, demonstrating how thoughtful design can have an immense impact on patient well-being and recovery.

he Bespoke, a Desarrollos Sempiterno project, is an exclusive beachfront real estate development in Tulum. Its architecture seamlessly integrates the natural beauty of the Caribbean Sea, mangroves, and tropical jungle, creating a stunning work of art.

Spanning a 3,824m2 plot of land, The Bespoke boasts a prime location at the entrance to Tankah Bay, with 50 metres of direct beachfront access. Its proximity to the Tulum archaeological zone, just 9km away, necessitated the integration of exclusivity and tailor-made service, commonly found in boutique hotels, into a real estate development.

For this task, Sempiterno enlisted the expertise of Muro Rojo Arquitectura, renowned for their work in the Riviera Maya, boutique hotels, and luxury residential architecture.

From the outset, the project was envisioned as “tailor-made,” offering 22 unique housing units, ranging from one to two levels and

spanning 100 to 400m2. To further enhance the experience, the development includes amenities such as a beach club, bar, spa with a Nordic circuit, and a fully equipped gym.

The design of The Bespoke Villas draws inspiration from the Mayan worldview, symbolising the emergence of the earth from the sea and the cosmology of the Mayan universe. The integration of ceiba trees, representing the pillars supporting each direction, creates a dialogue with the stars.

The project blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment, engaging with both the turquoise Caribbean Sea and the lush tropical jungle. It offers new dimensions of luxury and exclusivity unique to Tulum, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and a commitment to quality.

The Bespoke Villas redefine luxury living in Tulum, offering a harmonious blend of architecture, nature, and culture that promises to leave a lasting impression.

oderno Interiors completed a breathtaking project, transforming a new-build property into a blend of functionality, personalisation, and timelessness. Headed by interior designers Kajal Patel and Kajal Karena, the project focused on allocating the budget to various rooms based on square footage, ensuring special attention to key areas like the master bedroom suite, kitchen, living room, dining room, and entertainment spaces.

Thoughtfully designed lighting and meticulous attention to detail were central to the project, enhancing the overall ambiance of the home. The design incorporated bespoke joinery, modern furniture, and a mix of new materials and textures, creating statement interiors that place emphasis on luxury and sophistication.

Client preferences played a pivotal role throughout the design process, from the desired open spaces with abundant natural

light to incorporating personal touches like displaying images of ‘Morari Bapu’ and a passion for abstract art.

Storage solutions were a key focus, finding unique ways to discreetly store items, especially in the kitchen area. The design also considered the clients’ love for greenery, incorporating plants to soften spaces and improve air quality. In the kitchen, Moderno Interiors achieved both functional and visually appealing illumination, carefully selecting lighting features and utilising a Lutron control system for flexibility. The kitchen design displayed sustainability with the inclusion of a Quooker tap for energy-efficient water.

The main stairwell showcased wood panels with integrated LED lighting, showcasing different levels and bringing texture to life.

The design element extended throughout the property, creating a cohesive and modern look.

Moderno Interiors has once again showcased its design prowess with the completion of the Linksway project, a high-end residential, detached new-build spanning over 13,297 sq. ft. across five floors. Owned by the Patel family where Kajal Patel, both owner and interior designer, envisioned a seamless kitchen with hidden storage and pantry. Collaborating with Venetti, London, the result is a spacious, modern, and durable kitchen The project focused on creating a multifunctional kitchen that acts as a social hub, office, and dining space. The open-plan design integrates seating for eight to ten people, high-end appliances, and easy access

to hot/filtered water. Emphasis was placed on the importance of an easy-to-use layout with ample storage, low maintenance materials, and excluded shiny surfaces in the primary kitchen area. Thoughtful details include strategic storage placement for easy retrieval of ingredients, bins for food waste disposal, and sockets with USB ports for various kitchen appliances. The kitchen design adheres to the classic ‘kitchen triangle’ principle and features high-quality Italian porcelain tiles for safety, durability, and easy cleaning.

The overall design concept, guided by Kajal Patel, reflects a timeless aesthetic, achieved through a neutral palette with brown-grey tones and contrast accent colours.

Sustainability was a key consideration, influencing material choices such as Dekton for its durability, wear resistance, and ecofriendly features.

Formerly the office of the Environment Protection Administration, the site is adjacent to the popular Ximending Shopping District and the Red House, with the Ximen MRT station just around the corner.

The location of the Open Lab is on Zhonghua Road, which used to be a trendy and popular district in Taipei. Now, with new urban design, it has become an attractive scene that is popular among teenagers and young artists.

Designed for young artists and learners, the Open Lab features comic book collections,

multi-media, and language learning materials.

Wanxiangxintian, Changying

OOI Design and Research, a prominent design firm, undertook the task of crafting an extraordinary interior for Pavillion S located in Beijing municipality, China.

The client’s vision was to create a furniture showroom that expresses approachability, authenticity, and boldness. The goal was to showcase the brand’s key furniture products with utmost visibility while leaving a lasting impression on visitors through the embodiment of the brand’s sustainable concept. The exhibition hall had to be constructed within a tight timeframe of 48 hours, with minimal environmental impact and the use of recyclable materials that could be repurposed at the end of their life cycle.

The exterior of the exhibition hall presented a vast, unused space that yearned for a vibrant centrepiece during the exhibition. The project aimed to transform this vacant area into more

than just a furniture showroom; it would serve as a meeting point and a restful oasis for visitors during their exploration of the exhibition.

The architect opted for plywood as the primary construction material, a familiar component in furniture manufacturing. This choice allowed for easy recycling and secondary use of the materials once the exhibition concluded. With 821 pieces of market-standard plywood, the construction process adhered to an economical design structure that significantly reduced both construction time and costs.

Furthermore, the architect embraced the ethos of recycling by repurposing the entire building to create 410 sets of tables and chairs for rural communities in the most costeffective manner. By incorporating designs that encouraged interaction and fun, these furniture pieces served to enrich community activities and foster interpersonal relationships within these small rural areas.

hixiong Yang, founder of Shanghai Lingke Architectural Design Company (ALK Design), boasts a UK education with Distinction grades and extensive experience at renowned design firms. ALK specialises in luxury residences, innovation headquarters, and industrial communities, earning recognition with foreign design awards. Notably, ALK recently completed an impressive project in Xinhua County, Hunan Province, China.

The project is a high-grade residential development located along the Zijang River, covering an area of 57,300m2 with a total construction area of 236,800m2 . It comprises 10 high-rise residences with double-height gardens, seven high-rise houses with spacious balconies, a community club in the central lot with a stepped garden, and 21 townhouses, the ground floor of which is used for commercial purposes.

The design of this project was inspired by

the local landscapes, specifically the terraced landscape. It was created to form a beautiful city skyline and a vivid architectural group by incorporating the image of this famous local landscape. Moreover, the design aimed to differentiate itself from traditional residential projects by providing more natural space both indoors and outdoors.

The facade is modern, and the floor plan is efficient. The volume is fully responsive to urban design guidelines, featuring elegant hanging gardens, whilst the double-height balcony ensures the best views.

One of the significant advantages of the project is its location along the Zijang River.

The houses primarily face the river, while the secondary direction is the north hill peak, which provides a mountain backdrop.

This project serves as an excellent example of a residential community that combines urban planning concepts with local landscapes.

Anonymous designed the bathrooms to match the stunning harbour views, following the concept of “A Living by the Sea”. Symmetry and matched materials, colours, textures and details echo the surroundings, creating understated luxury and unparalleled comfort. Marble-framed mirror cabinets and water basins, granite-look marble, and maximised storage space with tilted side mirrors were used.

A free-standing bathtub and floor-mounted faucet were placed beside a curtain window wall to maximise sea views. A rectangular concealed light trough with a smooth profile was adopted to deliver harmonious lighting. The project offers light-filled spaces along the 11km waterfront promenade, providing harbour views and exclusive sea views from each residence.

Officine Gullo, a renowned kitchen and appliance manufacturer, requested a design concept for their retail interior showroom.

Anonymous Design Commune, a creative design studio, proposed the unique idea of a bank vault as the entrance to the kitchen showroom. The idea behind the concept was to provide a thrilling and adventurous experience to the visitors.

The design used beautifully-designed hand-hammered stainless steel with chromeplated brass trims and glazed in bright enamel, giving the showroom a luxurious and elegant look. The brief from the client emphasised Officine Gullo’s culinary tradition and craftsmanship. Therefore, the design theme was intended to showcase these characteristics and their value. The kitchen showroom is divided into two areas, one featuring a large central island with the finest professional cooking appliances, and the other with a linear kitchen and a functional area.

egreti Design Inc, an award-winning Toronto Interior Design firm with over 25 years of experience, led the design of this luxurious private residence in Ontario, Canada. Principal Heather Segreti’s extensive background in both commercial and residential interior design allowed her to bring innovative ideas to this custom project.

The clients were passionate about creating a unique and upscale look for their new build.

They were keen on selecting flooring that could withstand the demands of an active family.

Segreti Design sourced a taupe-grey engineered floor with gold highlights for the wood portion and paired it with a porcelain tile featuring a neutral white/grey base with meandering ribbons of grey and black, catering to the client’s penchant for animal print.

Upon entry, the residence’s elegant entry hall establishes symmetry with benches and sconces against a striking graphic floor. A dark

charcoal front door adds drama and aligns with stone archway inserts.

Leopard-textured wall coverings in the entry and rotunda’s offer an unexpected yet vibrant atmosphere. Oversized artwork titled ‘silent whisper’ combines drama and serenity.

The great room impresses with cascading custom glasswork, highlighted by a captivating dropped sphere. Gold accents and a Minotti accent chair add sophistication.

The powder room showcases elegance with charcoal grass cloth walls, a high-gloss vanity, and oversized luxury sink. The main stair hall boasts a unifying theme of mixed metals and a captivating LED fixture. The kitchen features high-gloss lacquer cabinets, a Dekton island, and brushed gold counter stools, while the primary en suite is a luxurious retreat with custom shower and vanity. This stunning fusion of aesthetics and practicality leaves a lasting impression on all who enter.

Everything a resident needs can be found in the first truly mixed-use development in the city.

The goal of Rose Apple Square was to bring an international-level development to the town of Siem Reap – a city known primarily for Angkor Wat, its tree-shaded river running through the town centre, a wide selection of restaurants and nightlife, and the welcoming smiles of the locals.

Spanning 6,400m², Rose Apple Square is a versatile hub with four distinct sections. Rose Apple Residences offers 207 units in four sizes for permanent or part-time living in Siem Reap. Offering flexible workspace solutions for businesses of all sizes, Rose Apple Offices

This space offers flexible solutions, including meeting rooms, three lecture halls, and a modern 130-seat theatre. Siem Reap’s first co-living experience, Rose Apple Commune, offers 40 private units with a shared 140m² lounge and communal kitchen.

Another exquisite project by Urban Living Solutions is Odom, an eye-catching mixeduse skyscraper in the capital’s swankiest neighbourhood. Odom is set to be the new architecture gold standard within Phnom Penh’s ever-evolving and one-of-a-kind urban landscape. With two towers connected by a five-floor podium and combined residential, commercial, and office spaces, this beautiful Singaporean-designed complex brings the community feeling of traditional Khmer villages into the future.
