The five storey penthouse includes a private “infinity-edge” swimming pool with a waterslide at the top most floor.

Spread over 35,000 sq. ft., the penthouse will sit atop the Tour Odeon building, which is expected to be completed by late 2014.

IMPERIAL PRINCESS SPECTACULAR NEW 132Ft. FLAGSHIP

YACHT FROM PRINCESS YACHTS

With its imposing size and elegant presence, the most recent flagship addition to the exclusive range of England’s Princess Yachts is certainly deserving of the royal title.

text :: Kate Missine

Aptly christened the “Imperial Princess”, Princess Yachts’ Princess 40M is the brand’s newest, largest, and most decadent model to date, proffering a remarkable fusion of seemingly limitless size, top-of-the-line construction, and scrupulous attention to every detail. Stretching out over 132 feet in length and rising three decks high, the superyacht is certainly a beauty on the outside – but that’s only the beginning.

Beyond the strikingly sleek exterior, sprawling living areas, meticulously designed with the utmost in comfort and privacy in mind, easily house up to twelve guests and seven crew members. The model offers extensive customization possibilities throughout for layout, finishes, and materials, allowing owners to design a yacht that is truly their own. Vast interior and exterior spaces serve to provide flexibility and accommodate a wide activity range. With its drop down balconies, the main saloon invites casual gatherings in a serene entertaining and relaxation space; for more formal occasions, the elegant dining area provides a stunning setting for mealtimes, showcasing spectacular views beyond the panoramic windows. Forward of the main deck, the majestic owners suite resides as a spacious sanctuary, outfitted with expansive walk-in wardrobes and a grand bathroom, available as individual ‘his and hers’ rooms upon request.

35

To make the best use of space, an ante-room can be laid out according to the owner’s specifications, with options such as home office or exercise room available. The below-deck space is fully customizable as well, fitting up to five additional staterooms or a custom layout to suit the owners’ requirements.

A grand central staircase connects each deck, running from the sundeck to the lower accommodation; a secondary discrete stairway between decks allows the crew to circulate easily around the vessel. Weighing in at 230 tonnes and with

twin diesel engines pumping out 7,000 horsepower, the vessel is capable of cruising at a speed of 23 knots.

Remarkable sea-keeping and control are ensured through a cutting-edge cruising range and infused moulding technology.

MONTBLANC COLLECTION

VILLERET 1858 RÉGULATEUR

NAUTIQUE TIMEPIECE SET

Precise

time

measurement

was first devised to enable ships’ captains to exactly determine their location at sea. Accurate knowledge of home and local time was essential to calculate the longitude with precision. Montblanc has paid tribute to the importance of early navigational timepieces by creating the new Régulateur Nautique set within the Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858.

The function and the design of the wristwatch offer fascinating insights into the history of navigation on the high seas. The regulator dial with a central minute hand, a separate hours subdial at 12 o’clock and another displaying the seconds is an homage to the regulator pendulum clocks that stood in harbourmasters’ offices in all of the world’s major ports.

A captain’s last task before leaving port was to synchronise his ship’s chronometer with the harbourmaster’s so that the precise time on his clock could be carried for the entire voyage. Classical navigational instruments could only enable a mariner to determine his geographic

latitude between 90° North and 90° South, but not his geographic longitude. Knowing local time and time in the home port were prerequisites for calculating the precise longitude of a vessel.

The dial of the new Montblanc Régulateur features eight indicators showing home and local time, day and night, a chronograph, a 30-minute counter, small seconds, and a combined power reserve and winding zone display on more than half a dozen levels, symbolically representing the theme of depths and shallows in the sea. The dial has been partly skeletonised to reveal the exquisite circular graining decoration on the movement’s plate, above which the wheels of the movement can be admired.

Local time on the Régulateur Nautique is shown by means of a skeletonised hour hand inside a small hours circle at 12 o’clock, beneath which another hour hand indicates the vessel’s home time.

When the wearer is in his home time zone, the skeletonised hour hand is always directly above the home time hand.

In the best tradition of the Montblanc manufacture in Villeret, the wristwatch in the Régulateur set is a chronograph. The large elapsed seconds hand is at the centre of the dial and at 3 o’clock is a 30-minute counter for elapsed minutes. The chronograph mechanism has a classical column wheel with a horizontal coupling. Many parts of the chronograph are meticulously crafted and decorated by hand. The levers that operate the chronograph are delicately fashioned by hand to the nearest hundredth of a millimetre and the stopwatch functions are checked under a loupe. The edges of the steel components and Minerva’s typically v-shaped chronograph bridge are bevelled manually to enhance their visual appeal and the bridges are embellished with “Geneva waves”. The large balance wheel oscillates at the classical frequency of 18,000vph (semi-oscillations an hour) and this enables the chronograph to measure time intervals with precision to the nearest fifth of a second. The stopwatch function is activated by means of a button incorporated into the winding crown.

As its partner for the production of this impressive navigational clock, Montblanc joined forces with Erwin Sattler, one of the finest manufacturers in this field. The design and construction features a blend of artistry and high quality manufacture production, with extensive finishing carried out by hand, resulting in a truly remarkable work of art.

WORLD DEBUT FOR

In profile, Wraith’s sweeping fastback design gives the car its unique character. Bold lines, tension in the panels and a raked rear screen evoke the image of a world class athlete poised in the starting blocks.

Corners, motorway junctions and roundabouts are all anticipated in advance meaning Wraith is constantly poised to deliver on its promise of performance.

A more polished, effortless driving experience and even better response brings a new, more dynamic dimension to the famous Rolls-Royce trait, waftability.

For over a century a Rolls-Royce motor car has featured technologies designed to support occupants discreetly, delivering a peerless driving experience epitomised by the term ‘effortlessness’.

In every Rolls-Royce these assist the driver when called upon, but are prepared to return without fuss to the background when no longer required.

Advances in mechanical and electrical technology deliver systems like head-up display, adaptive headlights and Wraith’s keyless opening boot.

But improvements in connectivity have taken the human-machine interface to a new level of sophistication, a suite of aids that could be likened to a contemporary on-board valet.

lamborghini

unleashes the fabulous

aventador lp700-4 roadster

text :: Kate Missine Following its unveiling in 2011, the Lamborghini Aventador coupé has taken off as a roaring success story, with more than 1,300 models delivered to customers in two years. Now, the Italian supercar automaker once again outdoes itself, stunning audiences into rapturous silence. The Aventador’s impossibly majestic successor, arguably Lamborghini’s most sensational model yet, hits the roads, igniting sparks and revving desires among thrill-

seekers worldwide – the LP 700-4 Roadster.

Insanely chiseled and silhouetted in the sleekest of razor-sharp angles, the Roadster shows off an exterior so dramatic it can only be rivalled by its electrifying performance. The focal feature is, of course, the removable roof – a carbon-fibre construction of two removable panels, with each piece weighing in at only 13 lbs for easy foldaway into the luggage

compartment. The roof and additional reinforcements to the frame bring the car’s total weight to just under 3600 lbs, a mere 110 lbs more than the coupe. A boldly hued leather-trimmed interior sets the scene for sheer exhilaration, with two hexagonal engine-hood panels and a retractable rear window ensuring full experience of the Aventador’s visual and aural impact.

And impact it has. The Roadster’s naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 delivers an astounding 700 hp and 509 ft lbs of torque, seamlessly propelled by a 7-speed paddleshift gearbox. The “Independent Shifting Rod” operates in three modes: Strata (street), Sport, and Corsa (race). Cylinder deactivation and a supercapacitatorenabled stop/start system cut CO2 output by 25 per cent and put out a combined mpg of 14.7 – impressive by supercar standards.

A pushrod suspension keeps the roadster low to the ground while maintaining precision and control. The power-hungry beast soars to 62 mph in a mind-blowing 3.0 seconds and hits a hair-raising top speed of 217 mph. But impressive as the figures are, there is nothing like seeing, hearing, and feeling this incredible machine for yourself to truly convey all it has to offer.

Adrenaline junkies, take note: this windwhipped joyride is not for the faint of heart.

Want it? The Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster is now available for order, yours starting from $445,300 at Lamborghini dealers worldwide.

ULYSSE NARDIN’S SPECTACULAR NEW CROONER, INSPIRED BY OLD “BLUE EYES”,

FRANK SINATRA

Ulysse Nardin takes watch collectors by surprise, once again, and this time it’s with its new, in-house developed musical mechanical watch based on another Ulysse Nardin caliber, the UN-690 using silicium technology. The first in this series of limited edition timepieces plays the melody “Strangers in the Night” — the legendary song made famous by Frank Sinatra in 1966.

Crooning about a chance romantic encounter, Sinatra enthralled fans around the world; his velvety voice paired with these dreamy lyrics lives on, inspiring the possibility of love.

“To set the time, the crown function is activated by a pusher instead of pulling the crown out in the traditional way. This masterpiece enables the owner to adjust the time with exceptional ease.”

“The melody ‘Strangers in the Night’ can be heard hourly or on call by actuating a pusher. Several different functions can be set by means of the integral pusher crown including winding, advancing or retarding the date and correcting the time. To do so, the crown is simply turned forwards or backwards. The on/off pusher which enables the musical mechanism to be activated or deactivated is located at 10 o’clock. This enables the melody to be programmed to play on the hour or not at all.”

The dial features Roman numeral hour markers, a small seconds display at 6 o’clock and a visible music box mechanism on rotating disc with 10 blades. The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and the case back is solid with a medallion engraving. Delivered on a leather strap with a rose gold folding buckle.

Development of this timepiece took five years, and judging from it’s stunning good looks, it was worth the wait.

MUSINGS OF ROBERT SWEEP

Lighting has been such a critical part of residential design and construction and presently very high end iconic styles are being used -- we are getting involved at the very beginning of the building process, to assist in fixture selection and types and also in advising the builder on electrical box placements and the type of wiring requirement. Many of the new styles are LED and they may require some special attention on switches and dimming requests. Another design concept being noticed is the use of cluster of lights in suspension, both foyer and over dining tables.

The lighting products of today are utilizing energy saving techniques that provide a much better lighting spectrum.

Lighting has almost become an iconic part of the overall resident appeal. The design and architectural concepts are being drawn in advance to handle such products.

The storey with staircase foyer is specially designed to show off a cluster of 3 to 5 suspension fixtures and it is the same for many rooms of the house, including the dining area which becomes the focus point thanks to a strong, well recognized lighting piece. Wall sconces become very important in the powder room and the master bath. It should not only be of high design and quality but also provide proper overall lighting and be functional.

57

On the other end of design and architecture -- there is a strong attention on brands that offer products such as closets, built ins, and high-end european kitchens. In closet modular brands, the quality and breadth of design -materials - and options for storage drawers and hanging clothes are enormous.

They are beyond anything offered by North American standards and are custom built. They are also flexible and can be reconfigured as needed with changes in lifestyle. The attention to small details and finishing qualities are exceptional and best of all -- costs are very close to anything else you would compare to. Another product in demand is the use of modular storage brands that provide custom built display units or room division bookcase display units that are recognized as major furniture pieces which can be moved or changed to accommodate lifestyle changes.

With kitchens --more and more residences are utilizing the modular european brands - as it adds value and branding to the house along with functionality and practicality. They use materials and finishes that are not offered by any other source . Every aspect of the design can be custom detailed, unlike most

brands that have standard configurations to work with. We are seeing such things as solid Corian full height doors for cabinets and very high glass details used in conjunction with the dorian and wood and stainless steel.

There’s also a massive movement toward solid wood or metal finishes --- for example on dining tables --- solid metal dark bronze finish with a hand wax top for easy maintenance -- or solid european oak with an anthracite grey matte finish --- or solid walnut with a clear natural finish .. along with the hit of the year -- portora marble tops or white statuary marble tops -- very chic and a lot of wow factor.

Clients are accepting the concept of not only how important lighting is -- but also how furnishings are key -- but now -- seeing that the overall concept of using high end brands for their closet storage needs in bedrooms and the benefits and long term durability of using such products -- and a bonus is the resale value they obtain from having these brands as part of the residence offering ‌ The key and critical part is that the client, builder and architect, must begin all resourcing and specifications at a very early stage

of development. The manufacturer is an expert and always provides a CAD drawing and layout with all specifics and codes so there is never any chance of error. And expert team of installers is also provided .

Colors and finishes for spring and summer are moving forward in 2013/ 2014 They are soft and muted tones. Very soft beige or grey and off ivory tones are predominant in all furnishing and wall finishes along with flooring and carpets. The feel is light and airy yet welcoming. It is a more long term and livable concept . Strength and volume comes from the small details like bronze nickel or black chrome in all areas of products w w w. ro b e r t s we e p. co m

DREAM ARCHITECTURE

MOUNTAIN/OPENING

ARCHITECTURE BY: EASTERN DESIGN OFFICE PHOTOGRAPHY: KOICHI TORIMURA, ANNA NAKAMURA+TAIYO JINNO/EASTERN DESIGN OFFICE

This home is a design room for a Japanese sneaker brand as well as a residential house. The site is in Takarazuka-city of Hyogo Prfecture. It is located in an exclusive residential district that commands an entire view of the Osaka Plain.

Located on a 330 meter hill, the site features a good commanding view as its key selling point. Working with a site whose slope had been leveled, the architects sought to rebuild this lost mountain into the site design, thereby increasing the angle of the slope with the two resulting mounds. Between these two mounds a living space is built, and the upper story floating on these two mounds is a design room.

Taking advantage of the slope, an architecture suiting the desires of two types of people was built.

A. Those who wish to be underground in the warmth of the earth.

B. Those who wish to fly like a bird.

The upper floor is a design room from where one observes the Gulf of Osaka, high-rise buildings, Kobe port, Kansai Airport, Itami Airport, and shadowy blue mountains.

To be warmed up: The lower floor is a house, hidden in a mountain, in the ground of the slanted site, invisible from the upper road. The bedrock layer 1.5 meters beneath the ground surface is used to support the foundation. Two mounds were built using the soil that was excavated for the lower floor, and the residence is inserted between these two mounds. Built on “a new topography-mountain�, all parts of the building are close to the earth.

To fly: The upper floor is a design room from where one observes the Gulf of Osaka, high-rise buildings, Kobe port, Kansai Airport, Itami Airport, and shadowy blue mountains. The land, with two mounds built to let the slope undulate, is like mountain waves upon which the upper floor floats like a ship passing over the waves. Is it a dream of a long-distance ship going over high waves or is it a dragon? The dream of this architecture is like a voyage setting out.

The Architecture was designed to allow the sea and a range of mountains 60 kilometers away to be observed from the 18 openingS that swallows the outside. Straight eaves run amidst the curvilinear forms of the topography. The eaves project in a powerful manner not to be beaten by the inherent force of the topography.

To be protected by the house, yet at the same time have the feeling of flying away, making two extremes into one, is realized in the architecture in the corresponding forms of the upper and lower floors.

It is a cave and also a nautical form. It is flying away, yet it is anchored. It is drifting, yet it is homely. It is sky, and it is Earth. It is far, yet it is near.
