WE DON’T BREW OUR BEER FOR THE AWARDS. BUT HE DOES! Our brewmaster, Andrew Kohnen, threw away a successful career in logistics to pursue his dream of reconnecting with the brewing roots of his family. This carried him to the UK’s prestigious Brewlab in Sunderland, England, where he procured the alchemy that would drive his signature brewing style.

He took what he could from there and ventured to Scotland, Cornwall, and ultimately to Krefeld, Germany, working in the same brewery that had belonged to his ancestors.

He came home to Canada for Hockley.

You could call it dumb, but we call it destiny.

Words From The

EDITOR

T

he summer sun is shining on Southern Ontario, filling the neighbourhoods with bustling activity, and vibrant energy.

The warmer weather has brought with it noticeable yearover-year growth in the GTA real estate market. Between 2016 and 2017 year-to-date there has been an 18% growth in the number of units sold. The strong market growth can be contributed to the continued interest in the luxury real estate market and to the bank announcing a hold on the bank of Canada 0.05% interest rate and lending rates of 2.5% for a mortgage are still at historic low levels.

The industry has announced some recent changes in foreign tax

policy, which may affect the growth in the second half of 2017.

A 15% non-resident speculation tax will apply to property purchased in the GTA by individuals that are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents. This tax is meant to curb the 33% month-to-month growth seen in the recent months.

The luxury real estate market in Toronto and Oakville is firmly planted in the $3M - $7M range. The impact, if any, of the foreign tax policy, is yet to be seen.

A month after the announcement the market is showing signs of slowing down, it’s down 26% in sales volume in the most sought after neighbourhoods in the GTA. As the summer begins, take some time to enjoy the warm rays and outdoor activities. Taking a stroll along the boardwalk, hiking the many trails or enjoying fabulous cuisine is what living in this community is all about, and discover nature in Canada’s great outdoors!

All the best,

Christopher Invidiata

HOME AUTOMATION:

Design Innovation for Modern Living

By Tara MacIntosh

The grand front doors open revealing the exceptionally decorated foyer of an Estate home. With a simple touch the lighting, sound and security systems come to life.

Custom home automation employs innovative technology designed for personalized convenience, seamless functionality and top-of-the-line security. As the installation is operated by one or two buttons, ease of use is unmatched by any other option on the market. The system will be fully designed with the homeowner’s needs in mind, taking into account the interior, and exterior, of the home.

A 10,000+ sq. ft. home was built for entertaining. With automation, a home is ready to entertain guests in mere seconds. Clinton Howell, Director of Design Electronics Custom Residential Sales and Marketing, reviews how his state-of-the-art automation technology prepares a home for entertaining. The System Engineers will customize a setting that can be activated with one touch. The setting will be designed to illuminate prized artwork, start sound systems and provide the pre-selected lighting patterns, throughout the home, which together, create the perfect party atmosphere. There are unlimited themed lighting, sound and security settings available to be pre-set for the interior, and the exterior, of the home. Automation will eliminate the need to go room to room to access lighting, sound, wifi or security options.

Custom home automation employs innovative technology designed for personalized convenience, seamless functionality and top of the line security.

SUMMER 2017 | 17

Functionality is key when operating a system of this magnitude. To ensure this functionality is seamless from the minute it is turned on, Design Electronics employs some of the industry’s top System Engineers, in the automation and technology fields. The background of the company is in commercial automation meaning they have designed complex systems for large mission critical public spaces such as Ripley’s Aquarium in Toronto, Fallsview and Casino Niagara. Their love of technology and expert knowledge of the industry is carried through to the luxury real estate market.

Each home is unique and therefore having access to a wide network of suppliers, and contacts, will ensure only the best state-of-the-art equipment, and talent, is used throughout the entire process.

Automation is just as relevant when the homeowner is not home. Security is of the utmost importance to ensure priceless art and valuable treasures are protected. A home automation system can be programmed to mimic the homeowner’s patterns within the home. These patterns are then re-enacted when the vacation mode is triggered.

In so doing, there are seemingly no interruptions in everyday activity within the home. Going one step further — what really makes this security system state-of-the-art is the fact that it will account for variations in daylight, by adjusting the on/off times, with the fluctuating sunrise and sunset throughout the year.

The automation system will be designed to mimic the vision of the interior designer, keeping the wires and hardware out of site and housed in one central, tucked away, location.

Start living the luxury of home automation.

Stuart Riley Bespoke Builder

T h e Ve r y D e f i n i t i o n o f M o d e r n H o m e B u i l d i n g B y Ta r a M a c I n t o s h

fter just five minutes with Stuart Riley of Stuart Riley Bespoke Builder it becomes clear that his love of building Modern Homes is more than his occupation – it is his passion. Stuart remarks, “I am continually excited by the possibilities of modern builds.”

Stuart Riley and his team build modern custom homes in Burlington, Oakville and Hamilton as these three GTA cities offer the best opportunities when it comes to location and growth. Not to mention the entire team lives in the area – and loves it.

Stuart completed 4 years of Fine Cabinet Making at England’s own London Guild Institute. After immigrating to Canada he was compelled to start his own business putting his talents and skills to work. Stuart settled in Oakville and began a business building fine art custom cabinets – by hand. As the business and the projects grew Stuart had the chance to become more and more involved in modern custom home building, which he describes as, “The most exciting and challenging area of modern home building.” His passion was confirmed and Stuart Riley Bespoke Builder was born.

“Our basic core values are integrity, honesty and respect.”

STUART RILEY

As the new business grew, Stuart built his team and his business, based on three core values. When asked to describe these 3 values he quickly responded with, “Our basic core values are integrity, honesty and respect. It takes years to develop strong relationships with individuals who share your vision, but by combining these three values, we have formed a powerful platform to build great modern homes.”

SUMMER 2017 | 45

Quality The single word that embodies this group of passionate builders Stuart’s team is one hundred percent dedicated to building sleek modern custom homes. To be able to deliver the best possible product the Stuart Riley team built 156 Marguerite Lane in Burlington. This home was built on spec to provide the entire team with the opportunity to showcase their skills and employ leading edge technology and materials. In the end, the community response was overwhelmingly positive and the home was awarded Top Design in the $3 million+ category at the 2016 HamiltonHalton Home Builders’ Awards of Distinction. The home was also featured on HGTV Canada in Fall of 2016.

The single word that embodies this group of passionate builders is quality. Stuart remarks that what is most important is to continually deliver quality at every level while maintaining the integrity of modern elements and design. To ensure they are delivering the utmost in quality, the team only selects and works with industry-leading professionals who share their vision and passion for modern homes. Simply put, Stuart explains, “It starts with a vision, then a plan, followed by the modern design and the execution of that design.” Modern home building is what this team lives and breaths and seeing the beauty and attention to detail in the end product confirms their talents are undeniable. When asked what Stuart is most proud of he expressed, “I am most proud of completing major projects of, the highest quality in a timely manner, while establishing great relationships with all my clients.”

MODERN HOME BUILDING I S S T U A R T ’ S PA S S I O N B U T H I S CLIENTS ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT AT T H E H E A R T O F E V E R Y P R O J E C T .

Modern home building is Stuart’s passion but his clients are without a doubt at the heart of every project. Becoming involved with the Stuart Riley Bespoke Builder team means watching the vision of your modern dream home come to life; and what is more exciting than that?

The building process is a partnership and clients are treated as equal partners from beginning to end. “The promise to our clients is to provide full disclosure throughout the entire project and we also ensure competitive pricing. The future home owner gets real time updates as the quotes are received and selected through Tarion online software.

Any discounts that are received on flooring or appliances, which can be as high as 25%, are passed directly to the clients.”

This team is showing no signs of slowing down. They have just started construction on their latest modern home in Burlington. Stuart Riley Bespoke Builder is hands on and therefore will only engage in two or three new projects at a time to ensure the team maintains focus and provides the care and attention that the custom home requires – and most certainly deserves. To follow the progress of the latest projects visit www.stuartriley.ca and watch the Stuart Riley Bespoke Builder process in action.

TREE HOUSE WITH A MODERN TWIST

A MANSION AMONGST THE TREE TOPS

This beautifully renovated six-bedroom mansion in Mississauga, Ontario offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Canadian history. Nestled on the side of a mountain overlooking a ravine and set over 100 feet back off of scenic Mississauga Road, the estate is incredibly private and secluded. With floor-to-ceiling windows throughout four levels, you’ll feel as if you’re living amongst the tree tops.

What really sets this home apart from the rest, however, is its distinguished place in our country’s architectural history. Part of the original Bickell Estate built in the 1930s by Canada’s first

bachelor millionaire, John Paris Bickell, the service building, the tennis court lot and the main house were designated as having cultural and heritage value. These original structures are rare and unique examples of the early twentieth-century Spanish Eclectic style seldom found in this part of Canada.

In 2009, the home underwent a complete transformation. The current homeowner, under the expert supervision of historical architect, Joan Burt, and with interior design by Yvonne Rice, stayed true to the Spanish influence when devising the expansion and renovation.

As soon as you arrive at Crosswinds Golf & Country Club, you know this is a place that you won’t soon forget. From its challenging course that will test your mental and physical agility and have you reaching for every club in your bag to flexing those leg, hip and arm muscles as you take a swing, all the while marvelling at the majesty of the natural landscape and views of the Niagara Escarpment surrounding you, Crosswinds is the perfect place to de-stress and add years to your life. The Club is fully committed to making your golf experience simply the best. From their certified trainers to executive chefs to the friendly and knowledgeable staff at the Pro Shop, plus the stunning design of the course itself, every inch and blade of grass, every grain of sand, every manicured tee deck, every facility like the Grand Hall or patios overlooking the course, Crosswinds’ is committed to creating an atmosphere that promotes health and wellness for every golfer and for every occasion.

The benefits to mind, body, and spirit a round of golf can bring have been studied around the world. According to one such study, the Golf & Health Project, a study led by the World Golf Foundation at the University of Edinburgh, playing golf offers a host of physical health benefits for people

of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.

The moderate physical activity that golf provides can help prevent and treat major chronic diseases such as heart attacks, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and even some forms of cancer. Even with Crosswinds’ fleet of GPS-equipped golf carts at your beck and call to take you from tee to tee, you can still expect to get your heart pumping as you play a round. Plus, you have Crosswinds’ certified CGTF (Canadian Golf Teachers Federation) instructors to show you the proper form when taking a swing so you won’t ever get hurt, especially for you first-time golfers. Just book a private or semi-private lesson – you may not become a PGA Pro overnight but you’ll be having the time of your life.

In addition to the physical benefits playing golf can have, evidence suggests that golfers can actually live longer than non-golfers. Many golfers see marked improvements in self-esteem, self-worth and overall wellness. Increased exposure to sunshine and fresh air were found to be

Long gone are the days when golf was just about networking on a Friday away from the office or spending a casual afternoon with colleagues or friends. Today, one of the best ways to stay healthy and keep fit is to explore the many physical and mental health benefits the game has to offer.

From breathing in the fresh air and basking in the sun with the most incredible and inspiring views of nature as your backdrop to enjoying a fresh, healthy meal on the Pebblestone & Pub Patios overlooking the 1st or 10th tee or 18th green, you can be sure a round of golf at Crosswinds Golf & Country Club will have you feeling good, keeping fit and having fun.

Another aspect of our health that can deteriorate over time is our eyesight. Many of us mark time not by birthdays but by shifts in lens prescriptions and our first set of bifocals.

By focusing on small items from a long distance, and continuously concentrating on small details, golf puts our vision to the test and improves our hand-to-eye coordination.

In addition to the benefits above are better sleep and, bonus points here, burning hundreds of calories! Even with Crosswinds’ fleet of carts to get you from tee to tee, between grabbing your clubs from the cart to setting up to take your first swing, every step you take means you’re getting your ticker pumping.

While the physical and mental benefits of golf are many, the greatest game’s greatest gift is its connection with nature. Nestled in the comfort and wonder of the Niagara Escarpment, Crosswinds Golf & Country Club boasts an 18-hole championship golf course on 200 breathtaking acres, close to the city yet miles from the urban chaos. Its rolling fairways framed

by Kentucky bluegrass and freckled by glistening white sand bunkers provides the perfect backdrop for a dose of Vitamin D and some quiet contemplation as you take in the sweeping views.

The bottom line is that golf is as mentally stimulating as it is physically challenging, where you need all of your faculties from head to toe as you navigate your way through 18 holes. Golf is simply an excellent way to ensure a better, healthier version of us hits the links, season to season, and year to year. And Crosswinds is just the place to do it.

ENSURE A BETTER, HEALTHIER VERSION OF US.

5 Benefits of Golfing at

1.

PUMP IT UP – Getting the blood pumping to your

heart is a must. Crosswinds were rated the GTA’s second-toughest course by Fairways Magazine and the strategically placed water and sand bunkers test club selection as much as skill and physical ability. Both nines have stretches of fairly level and open terrain, mixed with consecutive holes that provide tight tree lined and undulating fairways. The Signature Hole #5 is a par three – featuring the gorgeous ‘Island Green’. Many of the greens have surrounding mounding or collection areas that create challenging up and down opportunities that will surely get your heart rate up.

BURN THOSE CALORIES, EAT HEALTHY AND EVEN DROP A FEW LBS – Even though golf is

considered a low impact, physically moderate activity, research projects conducted in Norway, Japan, Germany, the US and Sweden found that a male golfer can burn around 2,500 calories during an 18-hole round, while female players can burn approximately 1,500 calories. So playing Crosswinds’ five sets of tees will surely see you drop a few pounds. And sticking to a healthy diet is a snap at any one of Crosswinds’ dining areas. Check out their healthy and delicious menu options at the Pebblestone Pub & Patios or for special occasions such as weddings or golf tournaments, you can work with the course’s fantastic chefs on a healthy, locally-inspired menu catered to your tastes as well as your guests.

While you’re getting in shape, don’t forget to look the part! Crosswinds’ well stocked Pro Shop provides all the gear you need and the outfits to match. Featuring brands such as Callaway, Titleist, Nike, Puma, Greg Norman and much more, the Crosswinds’ Pro Shop carries quality golf equipment and apparel for every level of golfer. When

you’re done your “workout”, Crosswinds also has locker rooms and showers so that you can freshen up before heading home or back to the office.

3.

FEEL GOOD, LOWER STRESS AND HAVE FUN – Like other forms of exercise, playing golf releases endorphins, the natural mood-enhancing chemicals in your brain. Breathing in fresh air, enjoying nature and socializing are all huge benefits, too. At Crosswinds, not only will you enjoy a superb golfing experience, you’ll also enjoy the hospitality and amenities of a country club atmosphere that will inspire you to return with family and friends.

4.

EASY DOES IT – One of the major appeals

of playing golf is that it’s a game that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their fitness level.

Still, as low-impact as golf at Crosswinds can be, don’t think the course doesn’t offer some great challenges – physically and mentally. There are 5 sets of tees designed to provide opportunities for golfers of all skill levels to enjoy a round here.

With Crosswinds’ five tee areas with manicured tee decks, plenty of room near most greens and well conditioned and landscaped playing surfaces, this is a course that is fun with just enough challenge for all levels of golfers.

5.

LONG LIVE THE GOLFER –Next time someone asks you why you left work at 2 p.m. on a Friday, don’t say you were hitting the links. Say you were adding years to your life. The proof? According to a Swedish study by the Karolinska Institute, golfers tend to live five years longer than non-golfers. Extra years make any green fee worth it, don’t you think?

WAYS TO GETTING YOUR GOLF GAME ON

T

here is no shortage of advice on how to get ready for the new golf season. The challenge? Competing advice from friends, family and late night Internet searches can do your game more harm than good.

So, how do you thin the herd of mentoring voices and lessen the cacophony of opinion that can find you— more often than not—in the rough and far from the greens?

Crosswinds Golf & Country Club’s Golf Operations Manager and in-house Certified Golf Teaching Professionals send along these timely tips to get you ready for the best rounds of your summer:

T H E SUM M E R 2 0 1 7 G O L F G U I D E P R E SE N T E D B Y C R O S S W I N D S G O L F & C O U N T RY C LU B • W W W. C R O S S W I N D S G O L F. C OM

MAKING THE CUT:

A sneak peak of the final approach to the 18th green.

Most clubs go straight from the course to the trunk to the garage at the end of each season so take the time to clean all your clubs before your first round of the season.

Check your golf bag to ensure you have everything you will need for your round including tees, balls, ball mark fixers... everything you may need to cut a few strokes off your game. There is nothing worse than realizing you are short on supplies on the 3rd hole. Luckily, Crosswinds’ Pro Shop is always stocked with everything you need.

STRETCH Before any round of golf everyone should have a stretch routine. There are a lot of body parts involved in a golf swing and it is very important to stretch them prior to your first shot of the day. Five minutes is plenty of time to get a complete stretch in and it may be done almost anywhere.

Crosswinds Golf & Country Club offers fully customizable private, semi-private and group lessons by certified CGTF instructors.

Do not try to kill the ball! Slow down your swing and go back to the basics. Slow down your back swing, keep your head down and steady over the ball with a light grip (3 out of 10 on the tightness scale). It is very common for most amateur golfers to look up at the shot before they hit the ball. By keeping your head down a second longer, you will find you will hit the ball with more consistency. Need help figuring out what to do? Crosswinds Golf & Country Club

is pleased to offer private, semi-private and group lessons by certified CGTF (Canadian Golf Teachers Federation) instructors. From private, semi-private to special group clinics, Crosswinds’ teaching facilities include a private driving range area reserved for golf instruction only, practice putting greens and sand bunkers. Lessons are fully customized to suit individual skill levels – from the lowest handicapper to the novice golfer.

Following these tips should help prevent injury, frustration and bad scores. At the end of your game, there’s always Crosswinds’ Pebblestone Pub & Patios to enjoy a beverage and tasty meal as you watch the sun come down at the end the day and dream of the next round.

Locavore

AT CROSSWINDS

EAT FRESH. EAT LOCAL.

ou’ve all heard these calls to action to buy and eat local foods, especially when they are in season, and only dine at restaurants that focus on farm to table cuisine, but what does it all really mean? Why not eat a tomato or strawberry trucked in from hundreds of kilometres away? Doesn’t it mean you can have what you want all year round? Foods transported to our grocery stores from around the world are safe, right? Sure, you can buy fruits and veggies from far, far away, but why not make a decision today to change it up and embrace your inner locavore?

Y

WHAT’S A LOCAVORE YOU ASK?

What’s a locavore you ask? Locavores eat only locallygrown produce and, whenever possible, only buy meat, eggs, fish and other food products from local sources. The term locavore also describes those who make a conscious effort to eat and buy foods that don’t travel great distances from farm to table.

Today, the farm to table movement is blooming, with advocates asking us to think long and hard about where our food comes from. And it’s not just about understanding the benefits of buying local in terms of freshness; it’s also about supporting the local economy (our agricultural sector accounts for one-in-eight jobs in Canada) and reaping the health benefits. Studies demonstrate that consuming locally-sourced foods has positive health benefits. One study, published in the Journal of Rural Health in 2011, showed that people who live in areas where locallysourced food is readily available tend to have lower rates of obesity, diabetes, and mortality. When consumers understand and know where their food comes, they’re more likely to eat a diet rich in fruit, vegetables and other foods made from local, healthy ingredients.

And let’s face it, local fruit and vegetables just flat out taste the best. They retain valuable nutrients and flavours because they’ve travelled the shortest route from the farm to our table. This does not include the frozen stuff – many

experts and nutritionists extol the virtues of frozen fruit and vegetables because they are usually picked and frozen at peak freshness, so even if they travel long distances to get to our tables, they’re often as fresh if not more so than what we find in the grocery stall.

Another benefit of buying local is you’ll join a growing local food network with the focus on relationships between food producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers all working together to increase food safety and ensure the economic and ecological sustainability of our communities. Buying products close to home is good for the environment, since we use less energy for transportation, refrigeration, processing and packaging. So, from the taste to freshness to supporting the economy and environment, being a locavore really is a win, win all around.

Back to the economic benefits of buying and eating local: buying local helps keep farms in business. It also creates local jobs. And Canadians are willing to pay a premium for local foods, too. In fact, a 2010 Bank of Montreal survey found that local food is so important to Canadians that on average they are willing to pay 16 per cent more for domestic fruits and vegetables and 19 per cent more for Canadian meat products. The number one benefit cited for buying Canadian food when grocery shopping?

Supporting Canadian producers.

From the taste to freshness to supporting the economy and environment, being a locavore really is a win, win all around.

So now that you’ve joined the locavore movement, what are you waiting for? Whether dining in our dining out, there’s no shortage of places to go to ensure you’re buying, preparing and eating the very best our region has to offer.

We asked the chefs at Crosswinds Golf & Country Club how they support locally sourced foods and how they prepare their menus to reflect the best our region has to offer: The farm to table movement is growing each year.

At Crosswinds, how do you prepare your menus to reflect local, fresh food options?

We always like to keep in mind our local suppliers when creating our menus. From the Essex Kent Mushroom Farm and Chudleighs Apple Products to Mill Street Brewery and Niagara VQA Wines (Jackson Triggs), we make every effort to ensure the vast majority of our dishes and our wines and beers are local, local, local. We also rely on producers who are as committed to local ingredients. For example, we buy our buns and dinner rolls from Brick Oven Bakery. We also work with Picard’s Nuts., Champagne Poultry Inc., Woodward Meats and local dessert suppliers such as La Rocca Creative Cakes and Dufflett.

How does “local” compare to food that is “in season”?

While there is no doubt that there is a lot more selection of local products during the warmer months, it can still sometimes be difficult at the beginning and end of our golf seasons to get local product, so we encourage our local suppliers to do their best to supply us with as much local as they can. When winter comes,

RECIPE

The Niagara Escarpment is the perfect back drop to enhance the dining experience on your wedding day.

we can’t always prepare local in-season dishes so we sometimes have to rely on food grown in hydroponic farms as opposed to grown in rich, Ontario soil.

Vendors like St. David Hydroponic Farms are a great local grower who, like our farmers, helps us provide our guests with the freshest food possible.

What are some of your signature dining experiences? Whether tied to special events (weddings, banquets, tournaments, etc.) or your daily menu, what can guests expect?

For every special event or just our daily dining menu, we like to focus on creating fresh, unique plates that feature the best that our region has to offer. Take our Nine & Dine Menu. We like to feature a mushroom risotto with mushrooms we get from Essex Kent Mushroom Farm on this menu, as well as our signature Steak Sandwich Feature with Ontario, grain fed beef.

rom the game’s earliest days on Scotland’s unforgiving terrain to today’s Majors, from weekend hackers to PGA pros, from ambitious first-timers to worn and weathered old-timers, the game of golf continues to stand the test of time without much by way of change to the rules and the constructs of the game itself. The ball is the same size, the clubs still offer 14 options and the design of golf courses from the oldest to the newest with strategically placed sand bunkers, beautiful rolling greens and lush landscapes continue to delight and challenge even the most seasoned players. Yet even in a game that is centuries old where the rules have remained true to their roots, in today’s digital age, golf is becoming more accessible

CARVER 52 COMMAND BRIDGE With three staterooms, two heads, one of the most spacious layouts in its class, offshore-tough construction, and a variety of unique design elements and amenities, the new C52 Command Bridge is one of the most exciting new model introductions in Carver’s venerable 60 plus year history. This elegant yacht features a distinctive bow shape with raised sheerline, ensuring more available interior space as well as more comfortable performance in offshore conditions. It offers easy access — from the walk-around side deck, to the wide-open cockpit, to the molded steps that ascend to the spacious bridge deck. Inside its 6-foot, 8-inch headroom in the salon and 6-foot, 6-inches of headroom in the staterooms, provide an

unparalleled level of live-aboard comfort.

What’s more, the C52’s hull, deck and superstructure feature both handlaid and vacuum-infused structural and nonstructural fiberglass and core laminates bonded with infused epoxy resin for superior strength. Carver also incorporates fiberglass stringers for structural integrity and better performance, while its unique vacuum-infusion technology reduces unnecessary weight in the hull and dozens of component parts. Below the waterline, the hull bottom is bead-blasted to ensure optimal bonding with the sprayed-on antifouling paint, which creates an exceptionally smooth running surface. No wonder Carver has the confidence to offer a transferable 2-5-10 Limited Warranty which includes 2-year stem-to-stern warranty protection for all Carver systems, components and workmanship, 5-year gelcoat blister warranty protection, and 10-year structural warranty protection for the hull and deck. Ask your Carver dealer for warranty details and requirements.

The new C52 really does redefine the entire concept of luxury, space, and performance.

A MAXI LOFT SURRO U N DE D B Y THE S E A.

Rugged and seductive, Ferretti Yachts 850 New dazzles you from the moment you set eyes upon it, thanks to its clean and dynamic profile featuring striking, clear-cut angles giving you a powerful and bold look. Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee, Studio Zuccon International Project, and the Group’s Engineering Department joined forces to design the yacht. With a hull measuring 26 meters and a construction length below 24 meters, the new flybridge can be registered as a pleasure craft. The two trapezoidal hull windows with integrated portholes make the most of the natural light and provide magnificent views from the inside. The design of the main deck enhances the overall experience, thanks to a single full-height window which cuts through the entire superstructure, plus the large front and side 90 | SAIL AWAY THIS SUMMER: 2017 LUXURY YACHTS

dome at the raised helm station. The yacht is equipped with a mechanism whereby the transom door swings open to provide a swimming platform, which becomes a beach area and can be lowered below the water surface, offering a large submersible platform for guests as well as a practical solution for the crew’s tender moving operations. The yacht is a magnificent maxi loft surrounded by the sea. The use of perpendicular partitions, almost full-height glazed surfaces, light and pleated curtains, and freestanding furniture are typical elements of this ultracontemporary metropolitan concept. In contrast with the geometry of the superstructure, the interior is dominated by flat surfaces and linear panelling, characterized by discreet minimalism and a soft, essential mood.

The magnificent Rivamare is a new Riva icon that rewrites the rulebook of timeless elegance once again. With a production line exclusively dedicated to, the new 40 footer speedboat is the worthy successor of masterworks like Aquariva Super and Aquarama.

With its sinuous and sleek lines, the new model looks seductive and sporty as soon as you set your eyes on it. The boat’s profile has a distinctive double-curved laminated crystal window at the level of the cabin. The most eye-catching feature on the deck is the windscreen, consisting of 5 double-curved laminated crystal glass sections set in a stainless steel frame, fitted with a rail for the cockpit cover.

“Unique is a word misused. Unique means there’s only one, and there is only one.”

- Sir Hugo Powell -

There are few homes in the world that rival the charm and history of Chelster Hall in beautiful Oakville, Ontario. Sitting on over 300 feet of shoreline with majestic views of Lake Ontario, Chelster Hall came to life as the vision of Canadian businessman, Hugo Powell who, in 2006, completed construction on the estate under the careful craftsmanship of architect, William Hicks. The estate has been built to stand the test of time and be a lasting legacy not just for the Powell family, but also for its future owners.

of the amenities that you would expect from a home of this grandeur can be found, including a bowling alley, home theatre, a state-of-the-art wine cellar, sauna, underground parking for 12 cars and a separate guest quarters with a private entrance.

With another nod to history, the lounge has been modelled after the famous wine bar at the George V hotel in Paris. On the ground floor, there is also a two-storey English-inspired library linked by a cast iron spiral staircase and the orangery houses the indoor pool.

Inspired by the rooms and gardens of centuries old Blickling Hall in Norfolk, Chelster Hall represents a perfect blend of the old and the new. As soon as you enter the private estate through the massive black iron gates, your eyes are greeted by a sweeping lawn and a long lane that leads to the Jacobeaninspired architecture of the main building with its Dutch gables and columns and curving ornamentation characteristic of that style. After five years of construction that began in 2001, the estate was built using thousands of tonnes of concrete and steel so that the 47,000 square foot dwelling would remain standing for centuries to come, just like Blickling Hall,and just as Mr. Powell envisioned.

Perhaps the most beloved feature of Chelster Hall is its private chapel dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, the patron Saint of Animals. Sitting away from the main house and close to the lake, the early morning sun illuminates the interior providing the perfect place for quiet contemplation and prayer. In addition to the chapel are the gatehouse and Lakeside Pavilion, the swimming pool beside the lake, and a tennis court in a secluded setting.

While the exterior closely resembles Blickling Hall, the interior of this six-bedroom, twelve-bathroom home has been designed with today’s family in mind. The main house features an aweinspiring 28,000 square feet of above-ground living space, yet the feeling inside is incredibly cosy with a combined kitchen and family room for you to enjoy and entertain. Of course, all

Unique in every way, Chelster Hall represents the perfect coming together of history, modernity and artistry. Mr. Powell wanted to create a gathering place for the community to enjoy and the desire to create something of substance and enduring value for this generation and many more to come, in this Mr. Powell succeeded. As for the estate’s future, the possibilities go beyond what one person might imagine. A private school, a corporate retreat or, as it’s been for its original owners, a family home. Chelster Hall is a legacy that will carry on.
