Laura Martinez / Fleur Noire Tattoo

PHOTOGRAPHY: OLIVIA PEREZ

Laura Martinez background finds its roots in product design and graphic design. After she graduated from a Master degree at the design school E.N.S.A.D in Paris where she is from, she found her love for tattooing when she moved to New York in 2013. She is mostly adept in geometric and linework, though she can play around with different styles. She mostly works on custom designs and takes her inspiration from travels around the world and her background as a designer, which makes her style very unique.

f o t i r i p S e h d i T d a H a h a Z The Face of America Magazine

Zaha Hadid’s international body of work is largely defined by graceful curves inspired by nature. She brings this sensibility to 520 West 28th, marking a dramatic shift away from the hard angles that dominate standard residential architecture. The building’s elegant hand-rubbed metal façade is driven by one continuous line, which loops its way skywards.

These dynamic curves create a distinctive chevron pattern that embraces interlacing levels, maximizing privacy and security between residences.

The Face of America Magazine

The collection of residences at 520 West 28th represents Zaha Hadid’s vision for modern living. Working within her distinctive architectural language, she applies a powerful elegance and detail to the interiors, focusing on nuances that reflect the overall experience of the building. The 39 generous loft-like residences are individually crafted, each with the artist’s signature mark woven into the design.Â

The Face of America Magazine

Zaha Hadid approaches the amenities areas as four dierent collections that are tied together with a clean and consistent palette of materials. These elements are then incorporated in slightly nuanced ways to create a progression in mood and atmosphere based on the level of intimacy of each space. A seamless lifestyle is assured

by Related Management's holistic approach to service as both the developer and manager of this unique residential building, ensuring that residents of 520 West 28th will receive a proven suite of oerings on par with Zaha Hadid's visionary design.Â

Situated on their 90-acre plot, the house sits on a mountainside spanning a wash, where stormwater has created a small gully in the landscape. The house is 200m2 with 3 ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and an exoskeleton formed out of shipping containers.

PHOTOGRAPHY: WHITAKER STUDIO

The Face of America Magazine

Each container is orientated to maximise views across the landscape or to use the topography to provide privacy, depending on their individual use.

A car garage roofed in solar panels provides power for the house.

The project is scheduled to start on site (California, undisclosed location) in 2018.

Beyond Suffrage features over 200 rare artifacts, including documents, costumes, photographs, magazine covers, and audio-visual materials spanning more than a century that show how women have been politicized—and in turn changed politics—in New York and beyond.

Highlights include Eleanor Roosevelt’s 1932 handwritten speech; a Shirley Chisholm presidential campaign poster signed by the candidate; and a selection of ephemera from multiple Hillary Clinton campaigns featuring one of her signature pantsuits.

We love the refined Japanese food at Monkitail, created by Chef and Restaurateur Michael Schulson and made with love by Executive Chef Sung Ju Kim. Certainly one of the finest hotel restaurants we have seen in Florida so far. It’s rare to see such a level of refinement in the food, service and overall atmosphere in a hotel restaurant.

Don’t miss Monkitail.

AKOYA PLANES The Face of America Magazine

The Face of America Magazine

The most versatile light aircraft

AKOYA Airplane

Streamlined forms, graceful curves, noble materials, and a touch of color all come together to create an aircraft with an understated and dynamic appearance. For LISA Airplanes performance and aesthetic appeal are equally important.

Each AKOYA is designed like a veritable masterpiece, and its French roots are reflected in its design. Great care is taken with each detail and all the finishing touches are carried out by hand, ensuring that each aircraft is a unique piece.

The Face of America Magazine

The AKOYA’s highly characteristic “Seafoils” resolved an issue that was an a priori insoluble problem: how could an amphibious plane be designed without compromising its flight performances?

The solution was triggered by observing racing yachts and, specifically, the Hydroptère sailboat, a project initiated by Eric Tabarly and continued

by Alain Thébault. This yacht, fitted with hydrofoils, a veritable “flying” boat, managed to break speed records in the 2000s using this technology.

The Face of America Magazine

In addition to its unrivalled versatility, the AKOYA has exceptionally sleek aerodynamic lines, making it the world’s best performing aircraft.

Everything possible has been done—in terms of autonomy, speed, and fuel consumption—to ensure that each of your flights is an exceptional experience.

After a pleasant flight at a speed of around 135 knots (155 mph), the AKOYA can land in a space of less than 650 ft and can easily be stored in a garage, thanks to its folding wings. The AKOYA will bring the pleasure of air travel to your door and will take you directly to your destination, thanks to its range of 1080 NM (1,250 miles) and extremely low fuel consumption.

First you enjoy and second you understand. You understand what is truly behind your plate.

And it’s not only food. When you listen to Chef Carlos Torres there is so much more.

There is passion, work, lot of work and human qualities. A chef, to do wonder, can’t work alone, he needs a team and his respect.

So Carlos Torres put as much love in is food than in his team and you can truly taste in your plate.

Self-made cook, his talent comes from his passion for food and his hard work. From his natal Columbia he has breathed and lived only for one dream: becoming a chef.

Ask him how to make a Ceviche and you will be surprised how simple it sounds when it comes from a talented cook.

Forget the bland Middle Eastern food we find in so many Lebanese restaurants.

Au Za’atar brings you the food you want to eat with your family and your best friends. This is ultra fresh food with total authenticity.

When you see the food arriving on your table, you know you’re going to love it.

It’s Lebanese food in its most sincere form.

We feel we have eaten this generous food during our childhood and we are now back in time rediscovering our favorite dishes.

Au Za’atar is not only a restaurant, it’s a time capsule for the food memories we wish we had.
