-Philip C. Laffey & Mark T. Laffey Broker/Owners, Laffey Real Estate

Over the years, technology has drastically changed the way we manage our lives. Great strides have been made to improve business workflow, global communications and social interactions both professionally and personally.

Facetiming children and grandkids, using Venmo to send birthday money, and playing Words with Friends on your mobile devices are all commonplace today. In the business world, cross channel tools like APIs (application programming interface) connect systems to share information, LinkedIn helps professionals network and web searches deliver information right to the consumers’ fingertips at light speed.

All in an effort to reach out or communicate with a person, someone who can help solve a problem, lend assistance or even provide comfort.

Yes, It is a digital world but people still live in it.

Our reliance on technology has increased tenfold. It’s reduced the monotony of writing mortgage or rent checks with Online Bill Pay, improved long distance communications with mobile technology like WhatsAPP and created artists out of even the least imaginative of us by using software like RIPL, Storyblocks, and Magisto. These advancements have also opened up teaching portals for virtual courses and continuing education. So, yes, the tools used by the real estate agent have changed especially as information has become more readily available to the consumer. But, people still want to connect with a person in a profoundly traditional way.

It is safe to say that all realtors have smart phones. Really cannot do business today without one. A good number have specialty Apps that use geo-coding to target open houses and listed properties. But, at each end of the phone there are people who need information. This is the world we all live in, compromise and balance.

To make matters more interesting, throw in generational

differences of Millennials (1980-1998), Gen Xers (1965-1979), Baby Boomers (1946-1964) as well as the Civics (1925-1945). Now, we are dealing with a large and varied group of people who have wide ranging needs, wants and financial ability. Finding a perfect equilibrium between expedient messaging and personal contact is somewhat illusive. Certainly, not a one size fits all business. Yet, despite the accessibility to this kind of technology, we’ve found the progressive realtor knows how to balance tradition and cutting-edge strategies.

Note in particular that every realtor has the best communication and information finding device in the palm of their hands… their mobile phone.

It can be used to call, text, email, voice record, and take pictures and so much more. Today’s younger generation is much more likely to use their phones for a restaurant recommendation (and a realtor recommendation) using an SMS Text while Baby Boomers may prefer to telephone a friend to find the same thing. In both examples, they reach out, find information and make decisions. They just connect differently!

Need proof? See below some statistics to support the claim.

Today, consumers pay very close attention to news and current events. Consumers want information that is relevant and timely. It might be discovering a new fitness app, reading a feel-good news story or learning about the latest social event. There is only so much information a person can process and retain.

After a while the binary noise is all consuming, contradictory and useless. More than 69% of adults, some 3.2 billion people, are online searching more than 1.2 trillion times in a year.

Maybe the answers aren’t found by being so hardwired to our smart devices and technology.

Perhaps it’s more visceral; an innate need for

the human companionship and emotional connection. A connection to people!

There is no doubt that the web has changed the way we live. Online searches provide information quickly. New properties, open houses, home valuations, mortgage options and school data is crucial information when deciding on where to move. However, real estate is more involved. It is a people-centric business.

Data is just that. Data. It is only as good as the source. With so much fake news, click bait ads and infomercials, one has to question the validity of search results. Enter the local real estate agent. These are the people to turn to when the information overload and conflicting news stories start to cancel each other out. Your realtor is also there to help diffuse contentious situations, laugh at improbably humorous circumstances and in some cases lean on to make life-altering decisions. The hand-holding, information gathering, big-shouldered, tissue-bearing referees simultaneously guide consumers through the gauntlet of seemingly never ending choices.

These people are leaders in your community, soccer moms and dads, event organizers and next door neighbors. A good realtor knows what’s happening in your town and on your street because they draw knowledge from their personal and professional experiences allowing them to handle the mundane and the complex.

Most great realtors are known to pay-it-forward, go the extra mile and make a difference in the communities they serve, right where you live and work. These same people, your neighbors and friends, are at the forefront of the real estate industry, guiding and advising as decision after decision must be made, providing unbiased and ethical assistance not a distorted 35,000 foot long range view of residential real estate.

No apps. No tech. Just experience.

Speaking of experience, how many lifelong friendships evolve out of open houses and referrals from friends? Case in point, more than 25% of agents cited that they generated more than 50% of their business from repeat clients.

Do not let the discount broker tech-heavy non-human business models steer you away from connecting with your local realtor. 87% of buyers purchased their homes through a real estate agent/broker – a stat that has steadily increased from 69% in 2001. Think about this.

The typical buyers use a mobile device to search for properties online. They look at photos, videos, maps, etc. Then, they contact the realtor and visit a median of 10 homes over 10 weeks before putting in an offer. Naturally, people bond after spending so much time together. Connecting with the local professional to help facilitate the process is still the way to buy and sell property. Tech can only help you so far. Your realtor has a pulse on the smallest of changes in the local market!

The secret is there is no secret, no special club or puzzle to solve. Frankly, it is not about stats or analytics. The truth is very simple. Each realtor in our vast international family can cite chapter and verse, all of the joys and sorrows they’ve encountered more readily than the dollars and cents. Just as every picture tells a story, every home has a tale and the most profoundly rewarding narratives are built from an endearing, emotional link to real people and the stories they tell. People will always be the irreplaceable currency we handle every day.

TEXTILES

A RT I S A N

A RT I S A N

Textiles add warmth and character to a home. Temptingly tactile, they often serve as a way to connect disparate design elements to create an overall harmonious effect. Textiles also tell their own story, one of heritage and distance. While woven textiles and rugs have always been sourced from around the world, today savvy brands are bringing the stories of these pieces and the talented artists who create them into the spotlight.

Treko

Founded in the 1960s, the esteemed brand of Osborne & Little is well-known for wallpapers and fabrics that sing with creativity and add richness and depth to walls and furnishings. Their Venice collection embraces the feeling of the palazzi on Venice’s Grand Canal with vibrant prints embracing bold florals and graphic designs. The O&L studio tells the stories of visits to art museums, palaces and the sun-kissed Italian Riviera through opulent prints and woven velvets. osborneandlittle.com

Woven Concepts was founded by the first female generation of a fourgenerational family trade, that traces its descendants to the bygone days of Silk Road, an ancient network of trade routes that connected the early Eastern and Western regions of the world. Even the most neutral pieces, such as their new Bonn Collection, are standouts for their accuracy in weave and texture, the quality of yarn and the richness of the colors. Woven Concepts is a socially conscious company and uses sustainable materials.

The Rumi Collection, with its bold patterns and jewel tones, evokes the mystery of distant times while pieces from their Odyssey Collection have an abstract quality reminiscent of the earth when viewed from above. wovenconcepts.com

Taking a hands-on approach to the question of sourcing textiles, The Citizenry team personally travels to each country it works with to build long-term sustainable relationships with artisans. The company’s commitment to transparency includes telling the stories of the individual weavers, studios and collectives, helping to preserve traditional techniques around the globe. Their commitment to giving back has The Citizenry investing 10 percent of their proceeds directly back into artisan communities through entrepreneur grants. Last year’s grant supported the weavers of Bougemez in Morocco, who create intricate pieces such as the Beni Ourain rugs, which take a month to complete, as they are hand-knotted from sheep’s wool by six individual weavers. the-citizenry.com

Treko, which means ‘yarn of wool’ in native Chilean dialect offers a line of luxury textiles handcrafted on Chiloé, a remote island off the coast of Chile. Founded by Chilean native Catalina Marin, the company creates modern pieces using traditional weaving and knitting techniques dating from the 16th century. Each piece is totally unique as all the products are commissioned and handmade by the craftswomen of Chiloé. At the same time, they bring a whole new meaning to “locally sourced” as the textiles are made with 100% natural wool from ‘Chilota’ sheep that are born and raised on the island. Products are available to the design trade and in select retail locations throughout California. trekochile.com

– Jonathan Sacks

Join us in congratulating our featured agents on a job well done!

We are proud to share the successes of our realtors whether their dedication comes from personal experiences or professional achievements. Today’s realtor has to embody all of the traits of a bloodhound – to sniff out the right property, a therapist – to uncover the emotional elements of a move, an event planner – to juggle the many moving parts before, during and after the closing and finally a friend – someone to be honest and truthful, even when it isn’t in their best interests.

The Laffey Real Estate Agent is all of those things and so much more. In this latest edition of our Featured Agents section, we thought it would be fun to go on location and choose notable places that meant something special to our realtors. From Long Island City’s waterfront gazing off to the skyline of Manhattan to Old Westbury Garden’s beautiful landscapes and Long Beach’s famed rebuilt boardwalk, we explored the easy to find and hard to forget images that our readers may find so enticing.

Zaha Hadid (1950 – 2016) Zaha Hadid, the great dame of architecture, ‘Queen of the Curve’

the Order of the British Empire in Queen Elizabeth II’s 2012 Birthday

and founder of Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), was an Iraqi-born British

Honours List for services to architecture. She is renowned for

architect who spent her career pushing boundaries, both social

gravity-defying geometric designs that elevate uncertainty to

and artistic. She was a pioneer of her time as she was the first

an art; and her buildings often appear as if from a sci-fi film,

woman to have won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Royal Institute

conveying a sense of mobility and freedom. Her proposals were so

of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize and RIBA Royal Gold

innovative and complex that she struggled to win commissions for

Medal. In addition, Hadid was honored as a Dame Commander of

many years. But as technology caught up to her imagination, she 45

Civilizations are often identified by their architectonic relics, as architecture is one of humanity’s most visible and long-lasting forms of expression. The most celebrated architects are renowned for pushing the boundaries of their profession and disrupting the status quo with their designs. By Chantele Machado.

became a revolutionary force in British architecture and her soaring futuristic structures have sparked imaginations and reshaped skylines around the world. Some of Hadid’s more notable works include the MAXXI: Italian National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome (2009), the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games (2011) and the Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan (2013).

César Pelli (1926 – Today) Internationally acclaimed for designing some of the world’s tallest buildings seen today, Argentinian-born American architect César Pelli is widely revered as one of the 20th century’s most preeminent and influential architects. During his early career in the 1960s and '70s, Pelli gained considerable hands-on experience designing high-rise buildings at various leading architectural firms in Los Angeles. There, he contributed to the conceptions of the futuristic Trans World Airline Terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and the corporate modernist American Embassy in Tokyo. In 1977, he established César Pelli & Associates, now Pelli Clark Pelli Architects, and his work became distinguished for being both structurally expressive and powerfully connected to local culture and habitat. Rather than conforming to a certain style, Pelli instead believes every building should reflect specific characteristics of each project such as its location, construction technology and purpose, creating a stunning aesthetic that actively participates in the cultural identity. One of Pelli’s most recognized works, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was completed in 1998 and remained the tallest structure in the world until 2004. It was celebrated for mirroring the country’s high-tech ambitions and economic growth while incorporating motifs from Islamic art into its glass, steel and concrete façades. Additional works by Pelli include One Canada Square in London (1991), regarded as London’s first skyscraper and the UK’s tallest building until the opening of the Shard in 2010; and the Torre de Cristal in Madrid (2008), Spain’s tallest building to date. His efforts have been recognized in a number of ways including 12 honorary degrees, nine published books and more than 200 awards for design excellence.

46

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867 – 1959) With a prolific career that spanned more than 70 years, influencing architectural designs across the U.S., Europe and Asia, Frank Lloyd Wright is celebrated among the finest architects in the 20th century and is widely considered to be the greatest American architect of all time. Wright achieved a distinctly American style of architecture that starkly contrasted with the elaborate Victorian homes that prevailed in Europe and the U.S. at the time. Employing only locally available materials and unstained, unpainted wood, his revolutionary designs featured one-story homes with low pitched roofs and open floor plans where rooms flowed together naturally in an uninterrupted space. His ‘Prairie Houses’ highly appealed to the domestic needs and tastes of modern families and more than 50 were constructed between 1900 and 1910, the most prominent being his own residence in Spring Green, WI, he named the ‘Taliesin.’ After spending some years in Europe and Japan, Wright returned to the U.S. shortly before the stock market crash of 1929, influencing him to develop new, more affordable designs known as ‘Usonians.’

Similar to his Prairie homes, an Usonian had an open floorplan, often without a formal living room, displaying the shift in American culture towards a more informal lifestyle. Architectural commissions slowed greatly during the Great Depression, leading Wright to establish the Taliesin Fellowship, an immersive architectural school taught at his own home. While he devoted himself primarily to residential architecture, Wright has designed many distinguished commercial and civic structures including Midway Gardens in Chicago (1914), Florida Southern College in Lakeland (1945) and the esteemed Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City (1959).

47

Philip Johnson (1906 – 2005) For more than 50 years, Philip Johnson was one of the most influential figures in American design and architecture, having played a significant role in defining what is seen today as modernism. Johnson started his career as a curator of the Museum of Modern Art in 1932, where he and architectural historian Henry-Russell Hitchock curated the Modern Architecture: International Exhibition. The duo coined the term ‘International Style,’ introducing Americans to a radically modern display of contemporary European designs embracing a minimalist look often with the structures foundational elements as part of its aesthetic appeal. His first work, and perhaps his most important, was his own home; the iconic ‘Glass House,’ completed in 1949 in New Canaan, CT. Now a National Trust Historic Site and museum, the innovative residence was designed with walls of glass boasting an exposed steel frame and level roof. Johnson went on to create a number of distinguished works including the New York State Pavilion for the 1964-65 New York’s World Fair and the stunning Crystal Cathedral in Los Angeles (1950). Shortly after Johnson was awarded with the first ever Pritzker Prize in 1979, his style took a dramatic turn. He designed the AT&T building in New York (now the Sony building) in 1984, which became famous for its decorative details and ornamental features, revealing Johnson’s transition to postmodern architecture. Although Johnson formally retired in 1989, he continued to influence numerous architectural designs acting as a consultant.

48

Frank Gehry (1929 – Today) Canadian-born American architect Frank Gehry has been headlining architectural news across international platforms since he established his practice in Los Angeles back in 1962. Throughout his career, he has been honored with several prestigious awards including a Kiesler Prize for Architecture and the Arts, more than 25 national and regional American Institute of Architects (AIA) accolades and a Pritzker Architecture Prize for a collection of works that features one of his best-known buildings, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain (1997). It was once dubbed ‘the greatest building of our time’ by fellow architect Philip Johnson. The revolutionary mass of shimmering titanium encapsulated Gehry’s style of Deconstructivism and demonstrated how form didn’t always need to express function. To facilitate his nearly gravity-defying proposals, he adopted technology intended for aerospace design to develop cuttingedge architectural modeling software, eventually founding Gehry Technologies. His distinguishable style was born while remodeling his own residence in Santa Monica. By surrounding the existing bungalow with industrial materials, like chain-link fencing and corrugated steel, he caught the attention of the architectural world, effectively launching his career. For more than 50 years, Gehry’s ingenuity has been called upon for countless notable projects including the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles (2003), the Dancing House in Prague (1996) and New York by Gehry, his very first skyscraper, completed in 2010.

THE LATEST INTERIOR TRENDS As we enter a new season, some of us may have the urge to make some décor changes, whether it be to spruce up an outdated living space or to make a home more appealing to prospective buyers.

Paint color, furnishings and even lighting can set the tone for how we feel in our most intimate spaces. With a plethora of options for updating your interior, it may be a challenge to decipher what trends you should incorporate, and which ones are decidedly “you.” We sat down with Noa Santos to discover what trends his team of professional designers are loving right now and how you can incorporate them into your home.

Noa Santos Founder and CEO of Homepolish Noa Santos grew up in Hawaii and studied business and architecture at Stanford University before moving to New York to pursue his love for interior design. Once in New York, he began working with a high-end design firm and quickly realized the industry needed a fix. He saw a lack of accessibility between designers and clients, and within the industry, between agencies and designers. As a result, he launched Homepolish, a company which connects interior designers to make interior design more accessible to a wider audience. Homepolish currently works with over 600 designers throughout the U.S., with plans to expand globally in the coming years.

Sculptural Art and Accessories Whether it’s a sculpture, an organically shaped accent piece or glowing neon lights, Homepolish designers are stepping outside of the frame, so to speak, when it comes to accessorizing for clients. Designer Amy Courtney recently worked on a project with a client whose life and work is dedicated to the principles of female empowerment and optimism. Keeping this in mind, she set ahead to create a modern and feminine home that also included a little of the unexpected. By incorporating a fullfigured bust, an oversized Lucite hand, a bird-leg table and a life-size bronze peacock sculpture, the space not only came to life, but also included some great conversation starters. According to Santos, “you don’t have to go full avian, but peppering in something shapely beyond a standard print adds a truly unique element.”

Moody Kitchens

Trying Tile

We all know and love a clean white kitchen, but there’s a growing trend with designers breaking from the expected and experimenting with higher contrast combinations. Instead of heading for the classic white and gray Carrera marble, designers are opting for Nero Marquina, a deep black marble with a delicate white veining pattern. Cabinets and trim are getting a color makeover too, with cabinets in popular colors such as navy and forest green along with small touches like matte black hardware. “These colors are really paving the way for edgier kitchens in the future” says Santos.

Using tile isn’t a new idea, but recently there’s been a rise in creative applications and unique styles coming to market. Contrasting grout color is one of those, with designers opting for a dark gray for easy upkeep or even red to add a splash of color. Including tile with globally inspired patterns or trying an unusual application, like on a cylindrical dining table or planter are other ways designers are incorporating this classic element. Not sure you’re ready to commit to tile? Noa recommends trying a more temporary approach: “One great brand that allows you to refresh a space with tiles is Moonish. Their gorgeous magnetized tiles can be used without damaging the existing space.”

Unexpected Materials Homepolish designers also love finding ways to incorporate more traditional materials and repurpose them with a contemporary twist, while also tapping into today’s trend toward adaptive reuse. Many houseware companies are developing new designs this season with this same idea in mind. Santos recommends the latest collection from, Dvelas, an architecture firm based in Spain, that upcycles old boat sails to create modern outdoor furniture. Their modern riff on nautical textures and patterns is a hallmark of the Dvelas brand. Similarly, VOLK, a furniture company based in Brooklyn, New York incorporates unexpected metals and thin silhouettes, into mid-century and Danish-style designs.

Wallpaper It’s back and it’s not just for walls anymore. “Our designers have definitely embraced the rise of the wallpaper trend,” says Santos. While it was once thought of as something from your grandmother’s outdated guest bedroom, wallpaper is now rightfully seen as a great way to imbue pattern and personality into a space. Brands like Ellie Cashman Design, Osborne & Little and Cole and Son have many beautiful options, especially in modern florals and botanicals. Designers are thinking outside of the four walls and even tossing it up on the ceiling — to make a super stunning impact.

Moorelands Oleg Cassini’s Oyster Bay Cove Summer Escape Listed by Philip Laffey

3 1 3 M c C o u n s La n e Oyster Bay Cove o n t h e m a r ke t f o r $13,500,000

According to a 1918 piece in Architecture Magazine, John Chandler Moore, Chairman of Tiffany & Company c. 1915 built the Oyster Bay Cove property that bears his name.

‘Moorelands’ is a sprawling 43.3 acre estate, designed by architect, Charles Berg, in the Italian Renaissance style of the day. Purchased by Oleg Cassini, the late designer lived there until his death in 2006. The estate remains a pristine reminder of early 1900s affluence and social standing.

A testament to superb construction standards, the main residence is one of the few remaining inhabited Gold Coast estates. The winding tree-lined drive, flanked by canopy of mature trees and multi-hued hydrangeas, opens to the massive 12,000 (appx) brick 14-bedroom, 8.5 Bath three level main house known as ‘Moorelands’.

Surrounded by private estates, the natural deciduous and coniferous plantings that border the hilly property provide ample sound and privacy buffers. Year round views of Oyster Bay Harbor add to the tranquility of the visual landscape. Interestingly, the current Moorelands façade is quite different from the original construction. The Ionic pillars and Corinthian portico that once adorned the frontage were removed though the exact time frame of the redesign is unknown.

Large staff house of four apartments (eight bedrooms, five baths, four kitchens). Mixing of stylistic details from various architectural styles including reinterpreted classical forms incorporate intricate Mill work, hardwood and tiled floors, Extensive porches and verandas with turned porch posts and balustrade spindles. Antique Entry Foyer Door with Leaded Glass door, Transom and sidelights of same design, possible Tiffany, (though provenance is not known) Grand foyer with finely detailed plaster ceiling (of gypsum, lime or clay), massive fireplace of Crema Marfil marble and elegant flat panel dark woodgrain wainscoting.
