hen we think of home, the word has a meaning and power in our lives beyond mere bricks and mortar. Our homes are where we nurture family and friendship, where we pursue pastimes and often, these days, carry out a portion of our work. They’re where we keep our most treasured possessions, whether that’s a contemporary art collection, prized heirlooms or simply family photos. Homes also foster a sense of belonging, of connecting with neighbours and, beyond that, with community. They are sources of stability and security in a fast-changing world, but they are also alive with the potential of new possibilities. To move home is to change one’s life – as renowned architectural designer Ben Pentreath recalls of the house move that informed his signature style (p14). A second home (or, in modern parlance, a “co-primary residence”) can transform our downtime, and we contemplate the perfect villa on p18. It can also unlock business opportunities – on p52, we discover which of the world’s cities are the best performers in the quest to attract incoming wealthy entrepreneurs. And while the appeal of a house in the country is timeless, there’s no doubt that the innovators reinventing English country life are enhancing the allure of villages and manor houses up and down the land (p24). Our homes can also be beautiful, as the reimagined Florentine gem on our cover, as well as the properties curated in this year’s Collection (p69), make abundantly clear. Whatever home means to you – and wherever you plan your next move – rest assured that Savills is on hand to help.

Trends, insights and updates from the worlds of property, design and luxury lifestyle

CULTURE

ARTWORK PHOTOGRAPHED BY JAMES O’HALLORAN

ART WITH HEART The idea of storytelling in an interiors scheme has been a strong trend in recent years, whether told through a paint colour that evokes a childhood bedroom, objects that relate to a personal passion or a carefully placed family heirloom. Now a new wave of artists is showcasing significant stories even more directly. Elin Jones channels memories of childhood holidays with her Finnish grandparents to create evocative, tender paintings. “I grew up going to Finland every summer, and it was very special,” she recalls. “My grandparents’ summer cottage was in the middle of the forest, near a lake, and time spent there had a particular feel, calm and cosy with my family. I like that I can bring that memory into physical form.” After graduating from Camberwell College of Art, Jones was taken on by Supermoon Gallery and exhibited her work in a pop-up show in Highbury, north London, last year. She is now taking a steady stream of commissions, working from photographs that have special meaning to her clients. “Although the paintings are based on photos, they’re not hyper-realistic,” she says. “They have a smudged quality, a ‘there but not quite there’ feel, which adds to the sense of passing time. And I’ve been using soft tones recently for a nostalgic, old-school feeling.” Manya Goldman, who is represented by Candida Stevens Gallery and has shown in the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition, uses needlepoint to create evocative explorations of the past. She was born in South Africa, then her family moved to London when she was young. Her work, which also uses old photographs as a starting point, pieces together the lost threads of time and place. And her medium – embroidery – gives her a direct connection with her subject matter, which she has likened to allowing her to watch a person she’s known “come into being, like a ghost”. These are artworks that can truly put heart into a home.

DESIGN

THE PERFECT IMPERFECT In our ever more automated world, unique handmade objects that incorporate the qualities and idiosyncrasies of the materials – or even the making process itself – are becoming increasingly desirable. This concept has long been central to Asian culture in the form of wabi-sabi, the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection: aficionados include Dior’s creative director, Jonathan Anderson. As an aesthetic philosophy, wabi-sabi emphasises the values of impermanence, simplicity and the modest beauty of mending. Now the idea is influencing a generation of makers and artists across the world. As Claire German, CEO of Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, notes: “We’re seeing a shift towards the perfectly imperfect, where organic forms take centre stage, and authenticity and character are embraced as the new luxury.” She points to Deborah Brett’s DB Ceramic brand – porcelain pieces inspired by the landscape of Brett’s Ibiza home, using sculptural forms and organic glazes. Wood artist Fritz Baumann creates pieces that hero the character of the trees he uses (above). His work, which is sold through Flow gallery in Notting Hill, celebrates the wood’s warps, grain and surface marks. If a split occurs, it is fixed with dovetails to make the flaw more eye-catching. Embracing the concept even more powerfully is the Japanese woodcarver Yuriko Nishiishigaki, who cherishes the natural traits of the trees growing on the subtropical island of Okinawa, where she lives. A recent exhibition of her work at Cibone O’te, a gallery and store in Brooklyn, showcased the strength of literally going with the grain and allowing the tree to lead the way: a celebration of the quiet resilience of the natural world, in all its imperfect beauty.

How gorgeous is your garage? This is a pressing question for a passionate constituency of automotive aficionados, who view cars not just as a way of getting from A to B, but as objects to be coveted, cherished and, above all else, displayed. Lavish car storage has been a trend for some time, but the prioritising of a car “gallery” in property choices is becoming ever more prevalent, and design solutions increasingly bold. Collectors are typically completists, clearly, keen to own every significant model in a particular automotive “canon” – and, given an ample budget, anything is possible. Hence the trend for automotive-themed branded residences from Miami to Dubai, with car-sized elevators that allow residents to summon up their favourite supercars – by way of a star turn at parties, or as artworks in a rotating display. Some collectors commission bespoke spaces designed to provide the perfect lighting setup and climate stability, along with “presentation rituals” such as turntables and what’s known as “curated narratives”. That might be about “brand lineage” – or perhaps simply the collector’s journey of acquisition, beautifully set out in a “car gallery”. Just don’t call it a garage.

PROPERTY MARKET

NORTH STAR “For the sheer quality of life it offers so close to the West End, the appeal of living in St John’s Wood is obvious. But high-profile developments such as these clearly put a spotlight on the neighbourhood, both in London and further afield.” So says Stephen Lindsay, head of Savills Residential for this coveted prime central London area between Hampstead, Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park. He is referring to a trio of new developments set to enhance the leafy neighbourhood’s mix of housing stock, characterised by streets of elegant Regency villas and 20th-century mansion blocks, including an Art Deco gem or two. The St John’s Wood Road development launches in 2029 immediately opposite Lord’s Cricket Ground, a landmark of significance to cricket fans everywhere. Thrillingly, “some

apartments overlook the pitch”, adds Maria Eivers, director, Savills Residential Development Sales,“but others have lovely terraces with views over Regent’s Park”. Like ambitious upscale developments everywhere, this comes with its own spa, gym, lounges and a private dining room for entertaining. Launching in 2027, St Marks, Abbey Road is an exclusive new residential development in a Victorian mansion block on the street made famous by the Beatles. It will offer 29 beautifully designed apartments and penthouses, some featuring private terraces or balconies, and a concierge service. On a bigger scale, St John’s Wood Square (pictured above), due to launch sales this autumn, includes elegant townhouses and lateral residences set around a central garden square landscaped by Andy Sturgeon Design, says Eivers. The centrepiece of the development, which sits on the site of the former barracks of the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, will be the restored Grade II listed Riding School, a local landmark.

WELLBEING

THE SOCIAL CURE

ENGLISH TERROIR Until recently, the word “terroir” applied strictly to wine – and specifically to elements that influence its flavour, such as soil, salinity and sunshine. Only recently has it been used to signal an ecosystem of wine, artisanal food and zero-miles cuisine, chiming powerfully with the contemporary craving for food and wine that isn’t just flavoursome, but authentic, sustainably sourced and intensely local. Whatever the definition, the notion of an English terroir sounds revolutionary. Nonetheless, it is emerging as English wine production surges in quantity and quality – and with it comes the combination of fine viniculture and cuisine that has long characterised the wine regions of France, Italy and Spain. For the team behind Chalk, the award-winning restaurant at Wiston, the winery and estate in West Sussex, English terroir “is about celebrating and sharing the exceptional food and wine that come from this beautiful land”, says Kirsty Goring, part of the family team that runs Wiston. “It is a powerful way of connecting all of us with a place.” As Chris Spofforth, Savills viticulture consultant, sees it: “The experience of enjoying great food and wine exactly where they have been produced really captures people’s imaginations.” So yes, we can now talk of the terroirs of Sussex (Bolney and Tinwood, as well as Wiston), Shropshire (Hencote) and even Sevenoaks (The Mount). Cheers to that. Above: the award-winning Chalk restaurant in West Sussex

FOOD AND DRINK

The global sauna craze has proved that wellness doesn’t have to be solitary or self-punishing – it can be social, even fun. Now a luxury brand is taking things a step further. Founded by Dr Jonathan Leary in West Hollywood in 2019, Remedy Place claims to be the world’s first “social wellness club” – a members’ club that prioritises its upscale hospitality and social offering just as much as its state-of-the-art health facilities. “I started Remedy Place after seeing patients struggle with the isolation that came from living a healthy lifestyle,” says Leary. “I realised we needed a space where people could prioritise their health and their social life, so I created a club where self-care is the entertainment.” In doing so, he has pulled together two key trends: members’ clubs are big business (with more than 130 in London alone), while the global wellness sector is forecast to be worth $10 trillion by 2030. In Hong Kong, the trend is taking a different form, with a new wave of clubs and pop-ups. Brands such as Flow & Friends cater for a younger demographic tired of cocktail-based networking, who crave something restorative in this fast-paced city. Its twentysomething founders explain that connection and community are deeper when discovered after a sound bath rather than a martini. The trend even has its romantic side. At Remedy Place, couples enjoy intravenous vitamin infusions on a date night, with a specialist nurse explaining the club’s IV “cocktails” in the style of a sommelier. “This is about more than remedies,” says Leary. “We’re showing the world that feeling good doesn’t have to be lonely.”

NEW DEVELOPMENTS

DOWN BY THE SEA Ground has been broken on the eagerly awaited new waterfront district in the capital of Barbados, Bridgetown. The $200 million The Pierhead development will be built in three phases across five acres of the legendary Careenage, overlooking the turquoise waters of Carlisle Bay. On completion (slated for 2031), it will be home to 35 carefully curated cafés, bars, restaurants, boutiques and cultural spaces, as well as 178 private residences, creating a vibrant destination that is both globally relevant and authentically Bajan. Until the middle of the 20th century, the Careenage was the island’s front door to the world, while The Pierhead was the epicentre of activity – a working port shaped by sugar, shipping, industry, culture and, of course, colonialism. “Almost every Barbadian can trace their ancestry back to entering

the island here,” says Douglas Luke, director of Elements Architecture, the practice leading the project. “For us, that was the big inspiration.” Key to its redevelopment has been investment by former Coca-Cola CEO Neville Isdell. The Irishman and his wife, Pamela, relocated to Barbados in 2001 and were enchanted by the island. “Years ago, sitting at the old Waterfront Café, I felt the energy of this place, alive with conversation, music and possibility,” he recalls. “That’s when I knew I wanted to invest here. The Pierhead was once a vibrant port, full of stories, from trade and travel to struggle and resilience. This project is about honouring that, and giving the site the future it truly deserves.” To enquire about The Pierhead, contact Odge Davey: +44 (0) 7970 829768, odge.davey@savills.com PORT FOLIO BY SAVI LLS 2026

AD Our homes leave an imprint on our lives, long after we have packed up and moved on. Architect and interior designer Ben Pentreath describes the lasting impact of the Old Parsonage in Dorset, where he lived for 15 years, and looks ahead to the adventures his new house in Orkney will bring

f you are like me, everywhere you’ve ever lived will in some way become the warp and weft of your life: I’m thinking of the sixth-form boarding house at school in Dorset, where I managed to get a room of my own, complete with a working fireplace; or our freezing cold, voluminous, neoclassical flat in the New Town of Edinburgh, when I was a student there; the incredible cottage down an ancient unmade track in Norfolk, where I lived while doing my first job; or the garret apartment in the attic of a townhouse in Greenwich Village. They’re all, in a way, homes that changed me. But of all of them, none was more so than the beautiful house in Dorset where I lived for 15 years (with my husband, Charlie, for the past 10) – the Old Parsonage, in the lovely village of Littlebredy, within the Bridehead Estate.

‘OUR HOMES ARE NEVER FIXED; THEY EVOLVE TO REFLECT OUR LIVES’

I’ll never forget the moment when I came for the first viewing on Easter Saturday, 2009; but memories came rushing back because I’d known the house years before, when my best schoolfriend, also Ben, lived at the Parsonage for a decade or more. Now, the house hadn’t been occupied for over a year. Thankfully, the landlord hadn’t carried out any renovation, so I was able to put my mark on things. We agreed terms and building works started a few weeks later. The house is built into a hill on the edge of a narrow, steeply sloping valley, looking over to woodland on the opposite slope. It is this position that made it truly remarkable, with views even from the ground-floor rooms as if you were raised up – like being on the prow of a ship. There was a sleeping garden, waiting to be woken up, a task that I began, but that was completed comprehensively by brilliant, green-fingered Charlie when he arrived in Dorset a few years later. The Parsonage became my laboratory, where I would try out new ideas for colours or fabrics. It was always gently evolving, with things being added or moved. I think this is important. Our homes are never fixed: they evolve to reflect our lives; and, like us, they need to shed their skin every now and again. Repainting a room, buying a new picture or bringing back a junk-shop find you’ve fallen in love with – all these change the dynamic in imperceptible ways. The ever-shifting whole is more than the 16

014_SAV.indd 16

accretive sum of the parts. Time is the magical ingredient here. And all through these years, this was being recorded in the various books that I was writing – English Decoration, followed by English Houses and, more recently, An English Vision. Somehow these struck a chord with others and I was engaged to do more and more decoration. All good things end. Two years ago, the estate was put on the market for the first time in 250 years, and Charlie and I decided to make a fresh start somewhere else. That turned out to be Orkney, where we moved in the autumn of 2024 – to yet another adventure, and most certainly to a house that will add to the cloth of our lives. Ben Pentreath is an architect and interior designer. benpentreath.com. A Year at the Parsonage, by Ben Pentreath & Charlie McCormick, will be published by Quadrille in October.

VILLA LIFE Popular for centuries as an escape from the fast-paced city, villas are the stuﬀ of our lotus-eating dreams – and remain the ultimate property choice for leisure-seeking buyers around the world Words by Cathy Hawker

liny the Younger, a famous Roman man of letters, was also a serial purchaser of villas. His collection included a coastal home, a property in the Tuscan hills and two villas on Lake Como – one high above the water, named Tragedy, and the other on the lakeside, called Comedy. Villas for Pliny represented otium, a Latin term meaning purposeful and peaceful leisure, a calm rural respite from the often brutal business and political life of Rome circa AD100. In books, films and glossy television series, villas often enjoy a pivotal role: summertime oases where friends gather, relationships are made, people grow up and perhaps fall in love. Think of the French Riviera villa that is home to the wealthy, creative characters in F Scott Fitzgerald’s 1934 novel Tender Is the Night – based on the real-life Villa America in Cap d’Antibes, owned by American art connoisseurs Sara and Gerald Murphy, whose guests included Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Cole Porter. More recently, a gorgeous Italian villa starred alongside Timothée Chalamet in Call Me By Your Name, while a scene-stealing Croatian mountaintop villa featured in the TV adaptation of The Day of the Jackal, with Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch.

‘RELISHING THE SPACE AND PRIVACY A VILLA PROVIDES MIGHT DATE BACK TO ANCIENT TIMES, BUT THAT PLEASURE NEVER WENT AWAY’

018_SAV.indd 20

Today, the best villas around the world are just as alluring as those from 2,000 years ago. “A villa in the south of France belongs to no single era or owner – born of Riviera history, crowned by royalty, adored by movie stars and claimed by business titans,” says Alex Balkin, executive director of Savills French Riviera & French Alps. “Its universal appeal continues for a new generation of clients, seamlessly uniting timeless elegance with modern expectations – effortless accessibility, world-class infrastructure, refined leisure and the quiet luxury of a life perfectly connected yet blissfully removed.” Just as Pliny did, modern buyers see villas as synonymous with leisure, says Jelena Cvjetkovic, director in Savills Global Residential Network. “Relishing the generous space and privacy a villa provides to entertain family and friends might date back to ancient times, but that pleasure never went away,” she explains. “In Italy, over the centuries, villas were adapted to suit the lifestyle of wealthy individuals. Think of the nobility’s hunting lodges in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance villas in Tuscany and the Palladian houses in the Veneto. Many had an important agricultural element, but they were predominantly designed as leisure palaces, entertaining venues that displayed the prestige of their owners.” Today, the Italian villa offers a versatility few destinations can match, according to Danilo Orlando, head of residential at Savills Italy, from long seasonal retreats to the increasingly sophisticated rental landscape. “Across iconic enclaves such as Lake Como

PORT FOLIO.SAVI LLS.COM

17/04/2026 12:38

and Portofino,” he says, “super-prime estates are among the most coveted backdrops for high-profile weddings and landmark private events, reinforcing their status as a stable, long-term store of value for discerning investors. Today, Italy’s prime villas have the rare ability to deliver profound emotional resonance and enduring financial strength.” The architecture of the grandiose Italian villas was replicated elsewhere. The flourishes on the 19th-century Belle Epoque villas in the south of France borrowed heavily from classical design and found favour with wintering British and Russian aristocrats, including Queen Victoria and the Romanovs. These intrepid travellers soon ventured further east along the Mediterranean coast, discovering the beauty of Liguria in northern Italy, where they left their mark on the architecture – in Alassio, for example, British arrivals built handsome villas set in glorious gardens, adding an Anglican church, a tennis club and even an English library, which still operates today. An influx of post-revolution Russian emigrés, artists and writers added to the fashionable appeal of the south of France in the early 20th century. Even the modernists got in on the villa act: Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici, for example, reinvented the form in sleek lines with the iconic Villa-E-1027, completed in 1929 on the cliffs at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. The villas of this era were notable for their lavish entertaining spaces – grand salons and dining rooms, often separated from more private areas by ornate staircases. The public rooms gave onto wide terraces with sweeping views over often formal gardens, out to the countryside or coastline beyond. A similar aesthetic prevailed in southern Croatia, where, during the Renaissance, noble Dubrovnik families sought space away from

the compact walled city in the summer. These villas, known as ljetnikovci – literally, homes to summer in – were often built on the water’s edge, surrounded by lush walled gardens. In today’s market, along with the smaller so-called Captain’s Houses, these villas have become highly sought-after by a new generation of buyer, as have the grand 19th-century Italianate coastal properties further north in Kvarner Bay. As travel became more affordable and leisure time increased, the options for those seeking a holiday house in the sun expanded – and with them the villa ideal. In 1954, BOAC, the forerunner to British Airways, commenced flights from London to Barbados. Oliver Messel, a London stage designer and the uncle of Princess Margaret’s husband, Lord Snowdon, arrived in Barbados in the late 1950s, and for 20 years carved out a new career as architect and interior designer to the international elite, building magnificent coral-stone villas in lush gardens there and on nearby Mustique. “The impetus behind owning a villa in Barbados largely remains the same today as in Messel’s time – entertaining and relaxing in beautiful natural surroundings with good weather,” says Odge Davey, head of international sales at Savills. “The important issues remain generous entertaining spaces, excellent security and the ability to host guests in a self-contained annexe or wing.” Traditional coral-stone villas are still coveted – Davey has a fine off-market example on the Sandy Lane Estate, set in five acres of gardens and priced at $35 million – but they have been joined by a new generation of ultra-sleek contemporary villas. And while the demand for beachfront or sea-view villas remains strong, there’s growing interest in homes on Barbados’s inland private estates,

where five-star sporting and leisure facilities such as golf courses, tennis and padel courts, gyms and restaurants are attracting health-conscious owners. “All beaches in Barbados are public, so for total privacy, homes on the golfing estates of Sandy Lane, Apes Hill or Royal Westmoreland have obvious appeal,” says Davey. “On an island that’s only 21 miles by 14, you’re never far from the water.” The facilities that buyers now demand in their prime villas signal a significant shift in the way these homes are used. Leisure time today is about more than just a cooling dip in a pool, and holidays are increasingly multigenerational affairs. Consequently, the best villas have impressive gyms, games rooms, state-of-the-art home cinemas and extensive gardens, providing activities for toddlers and teens through to octogenarians. With the advent of hybrid working, digital executives expect a high-functioning office with excellent connectivity. In those exquisite Italianate villas on the French Riviera, often the cellars have been turned into gyms, wine storage or media rooms. “We’re seeing a clear trend of people spending extended periods in their holiday villas, and they expect them to mirror their main home in quality of design and range of facilities,” says Cvjetkovic. “The finest villas today are considered a home from home, not a second home. Their ultimate purpose might still be leisure and entertaining, but the villas themselves have become larger and more sophisticated over time.” Another growing trend in locations such as Ibiza and Portugal is for properties that can accommodate multigenerational families and are attractive to older offspring, functioning as an alternative family hub for the summer months. This is a dynamic seen at Quinta do Lago, the Algarve’s exclusive sports and leisure resort, 15 minutes from Faro airport, and at Sotogrande in southern Spain. The original Mediterranean design of terracotta roof tiles, stucco walls and arched doorways has given way to contemporary villas with top-quality finishes and smart technology. Walls of glass 22

maximise light, rooftop plunge pools lead off principal suites, and outside kitchens and bars encourage socialising. “These changes reflect what people want today: a multigenerational home with space both to entertain and for privacy,” says Iain Begg, sales director for Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo at Savills QP. Helped by this flight to quality, prime villas in southern Spain and the Algarve benefit from lengthy rental seasons. “The possibility of earning income from short lets is not necessarily the primary driver for those buying these homes, but most like to know that it is an option, even those buying at the top of the market,” says Pablo Balea Vicente, Savills head of residential Barcelona. “Locations with a longer rental season – that includes Tuscany, Provence and prime year-round Alpine resorts – have added appeal. Remember, though, that if rental returns are key to a purchase, it’s essential to understand any local restrictions. In Mallorca, for example, a licence is required to rent most villas. The authorities are not issuing any new licences, and homes with one sell at a premium.” No international villa tour would be complete without a mention of Palm Beach, the glamour-filled Florida town where photographer Slim Aarons first captured the leisured wealthy at play in the 1950s. His images, which he replicated everywhere from the French Riviera to the Italian Lakes and Antigua, are the quintessence of villa life: a private idyll of stylish, languid living. The magnificent Palm Beach villas, set in neatly clipped gardens, pay homage to a wide range of global styles – and are now more desirable than ever. Mediterranean Revival homes, a fusion of classical arches and columns with more than a touch of Italian influence, sit alongside Georgian and Palladian architecture, Spanish colonial designs and pastel-perfect Art Deco curves. “The development of villa design and size is fascinating to note,” concludes Cvjetkovic. “Yet throughout there is a constant – the importance and value placed on making the most of precious leisure time.” Pliny the Younger would no doubt agree.

THE COUNTRY REBOOT Long gone are the days when rural life meant green wellies and bad coﬀee. The contemporary British country scene is full of stylish individuals, innovative businesses and new energy. Meet the men and women reinventing Arcadia

The Gladstones

THE LANDED ENTREPRENEURS Flintshire

“It’s reductive,” says Charlie Gladstone, of the notion that, by transforming his formerly crumbling ancestral estates into a raft of cool hospitality businesses, he has brought a dash of London glamour to the British countryside. It is now 40 years since Charlie and his wife, Caroline, first swapped living in London – and working in the music and fashion industry, respectively – for country life. And if in those years metropolitan exports such as Soho Farmhouse have “blurred the

distinction between town and country”, he finds the casual juxtaposition of “urban cool” with “country trad” tiresome. He identifies as “a country gent” who enjoys running his estates, but also loves “pop music, football, fashion and art”. The great-great-grandson of the Victorian statesman, the 8th Baronet Gladstone of Fasque and Balfour – or Charlie, as he prefers to be known – inherited “five principal houses, very little money, huge amounts of land and property, and a real mess”. He might still have opted to be “a country Bufton Tufton”, though on a smaller budget than his forebears’, but having “shored up the foundations”, he

chose instead to “give my estates identity through my own interests”. Thus in Hawarden, Wales, the family castle is part home, part high-end holiday digs, with a stylish injection of mid-century chic mixed in with the family portraits. There’s also a campsite, thriving farm shop and artisanal bakery; an annual Summer Camp festival held in the restored walled garden; and The Glynne Arms, the kind of cosy village pub where visitors and villagers alike can drink picpoul and snack on lobster brioches. Likewise, up in Scotland, anyone journeying to the Gladstones’ Glen Dye estate enjoys a distinctly contemporary take on experiential hospitality – think wild swimming, foraging, Big Green Egg barbecues, wood-fired hot tubs, a sauna deep in the forest and designer bothies. So far, so chic (just don’t call it urban). And recently Charlie and Caroline (who, having worked for Bill Granger, clearly understands low-key but smart hospitality) have launched Gladstone/Hellen – a craft-led, “family and friends” fashion and homeware business – with Sarah Hellen, a fashion designer and author who is also creative director at Hawarden (a role that Queen Victoria’s prime minister would doubtless have found puzzling). This page: from left, Charlie and Caroline Gladstone with Sarah Hellen and collaborator Ruby Creagh at Hawarden. Opposite: India and Tara Gladstone model their Welsh blankets

The couple have a house in London, where some of their children live, but whether photographed for Vogue or with their offspring in Tatler, the Gladstones exude an unstuffy charm. Grown-up and working in the creative industries, some of the younger Gladstones are involved in the family estates, others not. But along with making that draughty ancestral pile more cosy and profitable, Charlie’s aim has been to render country life and the Gladstone legacy more appealing – not just to paying visitors, but also to his family, “to attract those children and, indeed, my wife into the business”. For families such as his to hang on to their relevance and their estates, he recommends the Leopard’s advice in Lampedusa’s saga of aristocratic survival in another era. “It sounds slightly glib, I know, but for everything to stay the same, everything has to change.”

Paula Sutton

TAMSYN MORGANS PHOTOGRAPHY

THE VINTAGE STYLE QUEEN Norfolk

In 2010, disillusioned by the pace of London life, Paula Sutton upped sticks and moved to Norfolk, leaving behind a high-profile job in fashion publishing. “Life was just crazy,” says Sutton from her home near Downham Market. “We had three very young children and the kind of careers that meant we hardly got to see them. I loved my job, but it wasn’t conducive to the family life that I wanted.” Sutton believes she inherited a love of the countryside from her parents, who, having moved to London from rural Grenada, “always kept a vegetable patch” and would spend weekends visiting National Trust properties. Meanwhile, her in-laws lived in a beautiful Georgian house in Norfolk, and regular trips there left a lasting impression. “They had the Aga and the Irish wolfhounds and this wonderful crinkle-crankle wall in their garden – it was idyllic,” Sutton recalls. “And I’ll always remember feeling a sense of calm the minute we left the M25. Being surrounded by green had such a restorative effect.” The move was, of course, life-changing. There was no more dashing from meeting to fashion shoot, the closest shop was suddenly a 15-minute drive away, and if she misses the postman, Sutton says, some days she might not see anyone at all. But she also happened upon an unlikely new career. “When we moved here I didn’t know a soul, so I got into social media in order to build a community,” she says, referring to

Hill House Vintage, her Instagram account, which currently boasts more than 616,000 followers. “We had all of these rooms to fill, so I was shopping in lots of antiques and vintage shops, and before long I’d acquired more than I knew what to do with. Hill House Vintage started as a way for me to sell the occasional chair, or to show people how I was styling my house. It was never intended, she insists, to become what she jokingly describes as “a sort of geriatric influencer account”. Her brand is now far more than that, as she has developed her business to offer advice, e-commerce, events and collaborations. She has even recently published her first novel, The Potting Shed Murder. The pull of her taste is undeniable, however, as a vintage-inflected love of English country style continues to resonate globally, from international buyers in the Cotswolds to urban consumers everywhere wanting a little of Sutton’s playful take on chintz. She cites her style heroes as those classic figures of English interior design, Nancy Lancaster and John Fowler, but these days her brand is as much about gardening and entertaining as it is finding the perfect fireplace. It’s a cleverly curated lifestyle also appreciated by the editors of Vogue and The New York Times. What is it about her version of country living that appeals to so many urbanites? “It’s perhaps an imagined nostalgia or a romanticism of the past, which I think comforts many of us in times of political disarray or personal hardship,” says Sutton. “A lot of it’s about a fantasy, and that’s still even the case for me. I love the idea of having chickens and a rescue donkey [she doesn’t, yet]. But I still like putting on a nice shoe, hopping on the train and going to the theatre. It’s all about finding that balance.”

Jaisal Singh

THE JETSETTING COUNTRYMAN Oxfordshire

“For me, the countryside is not simply a place to escape to – it is where the rhythms of life make the most sense,” says entrepreneur Jaisal Singh. “The changing seasons, the presence of wildlife, the sense of responsibility to the land and the people who live in it.” For Jaisal and his wife, Anjali, the countryside means both Rajasthan, where they are passionate conservationists, and SUJÁN, which they founded 25 years ago, running luxury tented camps. Now it means Oxfordshire too, where they are part of a growing cohort of cosmopolitan incomers drawn to the Chilterns and Cotswolds, and adding international lustre and glamour to its social and sporting scene. Both retain strong connections to New Delhi, where they maintain their primary residence, and Anjali, who studied fine art at London’s Central Saint Martins, is executive chairperson of Anand, the automotive group founded by her father, Deep C Anand. But a love of country living and horses was a key part of their move when they acquired an English country house and equestrian estate two years ago. “Horses are always central to how I experience the countryside,” Jaisal says. “Riding, you notice things you might otherwise miss.” His daughter, Amrit, first

spotted the new home when, out hacking with her riding school – she met the woman who owned the house at the time. “Amrit casually mentioned we were looking and, well, the rest is history. The children are at school here, and we have our place in London, but we were looking for ways to escape to the countryside, through riding, staying with friends – or polo.” Jaisal is a passionate exponent of a sport in which India and England have a shared heritage – as a player, a commentator and owner of his SUJÁN Indian Tigers polo team. “We made our debut at the prestigious Cartier Queen’s Cup in May 2023, the first time in decades that an Indian-owned team competed at this level.” While he enjoys finding “great little pubs and visiting farm shops” in the Chilterns, there is a resolve to his approach to polo – along with a desire for Indian players to perform at the highest levels once more, recalling the glory days when polo-playing Indian princes cut a dashing figure on the world’s polo circuit. Oxfordshire and Rajasthan “could not appear more different”, he observes. “One is rolling green countryside and ancient hedgerows, the other is dry forest, desert 28

024_SAV.indd 28

landscapes or ancient granite hills rising from the plains” – not to mention the tigers so many SUJÁN guests go to see. “But in spirit there are remarkable similarities. Rural life has its own rhythm, its own codes of community, and a strong connection between people and the landscape around them. In both, there is the same quiet awareness that the land existed long before us and will, hopefully, exist long after.”

‘THE COUNTRYSIDE IS WHERE THE RHYTHMS OF LIFE MAKE THE MOST SENSE’

If you’re driving through the English countryside and spot a striking contemporary house on the horizon, there’s a passing chance that Richard Hawkes has had something to do with it. Since designing and building a home in Kent for his family that featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs back in 2009, the architect has developed a practice that specialises in helping clients to realise their own grand design dreams. Specifically, he and his team are experts at creating Paragraph 84 buildings: private homes granted planning permission, seemingly against the odds and often in isolated rural locations, by virtue of their “exceptional quality, innovative design” and ability to “enhance their setting”. “Grand Designs was the launchpad for what we do,” recalls Hawkes. “As soon as the programme went out, the phone started ringing. Back then, few people knew about Paragraph 84 or were using it. These days the phone rings a lot, so I can be honest about whether someone’s plot is viable. We specialise in sites that anyone else would think, ‘No way are you going to get permission there.’ Because of our experience, we can see if the conditions are right to put a robust case together.” This involves establishing solid foundations for the building that meet the two main criteria of Paragraph 84: that it is of “exceptional quality, helping to raise the standards of design in rural areas”; and that it “significantly enhances the setting and is sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area”. What that means in practice is demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of the location. The arrival of a bold design in a rural place will always incite strong views. “Not everyone is going to love it,” says Hawkes. “But in time, it often becomes a landmark and something the community is proud of.” In the case of his own home in Kent, there was also an economic payback: “The tiles were made from clay dug out of the ground less than four miles away. All of the money we spent on them went back into the community. The guys

who made our tiles, their fingerprints are on them.” Hawkes works mostly in southern England – in the Cotswolds, Dorset, Hampshire and Sussex – but has taken on projects as far afield as Northumberland and Plymouth. Wherever it is, the arrival of a high-quality contemporary home in a rural setting can bring a halo effect, energising the area and attracting new interest and investment. Today’s countryside isn’t only about the perfectly preserved past, but also the vibrant future. Or as Hawkes puts it: “Buildings reflect the time when they were built. They always did.”

t the very least, I want to be able to see the works of Filippo, Giotto and Arnolfo from the window – the architects who built the most important monuments in Florence.” This was the brief that architect Stefano Tozzi gave to his agent when he began his search for a home in the Tuscan city in 2015. “But, as so often happens in life,” he recalls, “I made a plan and something completely different unfolded.” The resulting apartment of dreams, spanning 600 square metres and three floating levels, essentially hand-built by Tozzi, got off to a rocky start. On his first visit to the empty shell, the architect was unimpressed. It had potential, yes, but “Mamma mia, che brutta! It was so ugly – a rectangular void 13 metres high, with a fractured plan.” Yet the building, in the historic Oltrarno neighbourhood on the south bank of the Arno, had a fascinating history: first a convent, then a theatre, then a film set made famous by Federico Fellini, it had a fly loft that later became a sawmill supplying timber to the city’s workshops. And all within shouting distance of Cosimo de’ Medici’s Palazzo Pitti and the Basilica di Santo Spirito, redesigned by Filippo Brunelleschi in the early 15th century. Tozzi, the co-founder of AE5 Partners, has collaborated with renowned international architects including Daniel Libeskind, Zaha Hadid and Arata Isozaki. He has a reputation as a visionary, and what he saw on that first site visit set his imagination alight. “As I stood there, an image from Ang Lee’s Life of Pi suddenly came into my head,” he says. “I thought of the scene where the boy’s uncle is in a swimming pool. He dives in and the camera captures him swimming slowly through the clouds. I lingered on that image, then I realised, ‘I need to create a pool in this space – a suspended pool that allows light to reach the ground.’ It would act like a second window, complementing the roof opening while serving as a poetic feature.” More than 1,400 hand-detailed drawings later, Tozzi had conceived a residence that would become his family home, blending architecture, art and the inspirational history of Florence, cradle of the Renaissance and working home to masters such as Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. Back in the modern world, friends and colleagues told Tozzi that his pool idea was impossible. “Usually, when there is a challenge, I jump in headlong,” he says. “So I decided to buy the property and try it anyway. I signed the deeds on 31 December 2015.” To understand his architectural vernacular, it’s worth noting that Tozzi was born in Siena, 50km south of Florence, in central Tuscany. It’s a stripped-back city of exposed medieval brick. “During both my childhood and my early university years, for me good architecture was always about exposed brick,” he says. Further south still is the glorious Val d’Orcia, an undulating landscape carved from the famous crete senesi, or Sienese clay. “My style, my vision of architecture, was given shape by this sweet, sinuous countryside,” he says. “Every time I do a project, I stop, I let it decant, then, when I approach it again, I remove all that is superfluous.” The finished three-bedroom, five-bathroom apartment, home to Tozzi, his wife, Lidia Molendi, and their ten-year-old daughter, Vittoria, is a mellow symphony of stripped-back brickwork and teak timbers, each board individually specified in the architect’s elaborate plans. It reaches its zenith in the suspended swimming pool, which

directs light into the open-plan living space below. The property also has a private gym, a Turkish bath and a free-standing tub in the principal suite, which overlooks both the pool and an indoor living wall: rare features in Florence’s centro storico. None of this came easy. “Six months into the build, I made a crazy choice,” Tozzi says. “I threw everyone out and decided to do the work myself, with a friend of mine who is a retired carpenter. We made this house with hand tools, as if it were a work of art, not architecture. We put the utmost attention, the utmost love, into every element. That’s why the whole project took seven years.” The result is an unlikely masterpiece – and one that is surprisingly suited to modern life. “When I started, I wanted to make this project as spectacular as possible,” Tozzi says. “But I also needed to live here with my wife and daughter. We wanted everything in the kitchen, for instance, to be within arm’s reach.” The house is designed to be cinematic, but it is comfortable too. “If, as architects, we do something beautiful, but it doesn’t work, that thing automatically becomes ugly.” Now, though, Tozzi, the restless visionary, wants to move on, to create another impossible dream. Why? “I’ll make one that’s even more beautiful,” he explains. “There’s a tiny church near Mechernich, Germany, called the Bruder-Klaus Field Chapel, by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. It’s about 35 square metres inside, and it proves that the value of a project is not measured in size – it’s about the idea and how it’s been realised. I don’t believe it’s possible to make a more beautiful apartment than this one in Italy. Outside of Italy, maybe, but here? Non è possibile.” For more information about this property, contact Jelena Cvjetkovic: jcvjetkovic@savills.com

The epic history behind prime central London’s street names Words by Daniel Pembrey

LONDON DECODED BEFORE THE GREAT FIRE OF 1666, London was strikingly rural: a patchwork of farms, grazing animals, marshy shoreline, ancient manors and villages. Though the city extended west to St James’s Park, the most densely populated core remained within the old Roman walls, just north of old London Bridge. But this was all about to change, as a set of increasingly powerful aristocratic families

began to shape and develop the growing metropolis. Through a mix of inheritance, ambition and strategic liaisons, this rich cast of characters created much of London as we know it today. Their family names are woven through the streets and garden squares of Holland Park, Chelsea, Belgravia, Mayfair, Marylebone and Hampstead, a hidden history waiting to be deciphered.

HOLLAND PARK Patronage, power and peacocks

The aptly named Sir Henry Rich, a 17th-century courtier, exemplifies the ambitions, perils and legacies involved in the making of London. He was handsome (as painted by Anthony Van Dyck) and highly influential after becoming the 1st Earl of Holland in 1624 – a title that refers not to the Netherlands, but to the parts of similarly flat Lincolnshire that Rich owned. A favourite of King James I, he won the earldom for helping to engineer the marriage between Prince Charles (soon to be Charles I) and the French king’s sister. Rich had made his own alliance with the wealthy and well-connected Cope family, marrying heiress Isabel in 1612. This brought him Cope Castle in Kensington, one of the great early Jacobean mansions. He renamed it Holland House, and renovations there included a “gilt room” for hosting a ball on the occasion of Charles’s marriage. Seemingly, the ball never took place, but no matter: Rich made the house and its 500-acre park his power base. He also exploited his place at court. By the 1630s, his annual income was at least £10,000 – in excess of £2 million today – though he was usually in debt. He was a fine horseman and took pride in being perfectly groomed. For one royal masque, he wore

an outfit covered in real gemstones. He was also governor of the Providence Island Company, founded in 1629 by Puritans, including his older brother, the Earl of Warwick. The name refers to a Caribbean island, now part of Colombia. The English Civil War of the 1640s proved Rich’s undoing. He shifted allegiances from one side to the other until his flip-flopping made enemies of both the king and parliament. Finally, he threw his lot back in with Charles I and led a failed royalist uprising. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London and, like Charles before him, was beheaded for treason. His estate, however, remained in the family, and brought about the cascade of currently desirable streets featuring Holland in their name, notably the Holland Park addresses that, in the late 19th century, became adorned with “wedding cake” villas. By this time, Holland House had passed to the Earls of Ilchester, bringing us parkside Ilchester Place and Melbury Road, named after Melbury House – the Ilchesters’ Dorset seat. Holland House was bombed in the Blitz, but Opera Holland Park now stages productions in its grounds. Perhaps some of the 17th-century peacockery remains in the air – and not just because of the peacocks in the park, loved for their crowing calls and fantail displays. The Beckhams, Elton John and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page have all called these fabulous streets home. PORT FOLIO BY SAVI LLS 2026

LONDON DECODED

CHELSEA The first Sloane Ranger Moving south, we reach the playground of equally famous and flamboyant figures, from Oscar Wilde to Mick Jagger. Chelsea’s name combines Old English words for chalk and wharf. In 1724, the writer Daniel Defoe described it as a “town of palaces” – a shimmering spectacle of grand homes with grounds sweeping down to the wide and (then) bucolic Thames. There remain glimpses of this vanished world, which was animated by these mysterious palaces, with their exotic pets, orchards and moorings for royal barges. A plaque at the corner of river-facing Cheyne Walk and Cheyne Mews marks “King Henry VIII’s Manor House”. Remnants of his grounds include mulberry trees purportedly planted by Elizabeth I. Before long, the King’s Road linked this stretch of the Thames to St James’s Palace and Hampton Court. The riverside Manor of Chelsea passed through the hands of William Cheyne, Viscount Newhaven, to Sir Hans Sloane, who bought the estate in 1712. A physician to various royals, naturalist, explorer and avid collector-curator whose legacy included the founding of the British

Museum, Sloane did much to gift Chelsea with its worldly, eclectic charm. His heiress daughter, Elizabeth, married into the Cadogan family, who can trace their ancestry back a millennium to Welsh royal tribes. They astutely developed the land back from the Thames and up the King’s Road. Names relating to them began appearing across their burgeoning estate. George Cadogan, who inherited the Cadogan earldom in 1832, was also awarded the title Baron Oakley of Caversham, having spent two decades at sea battling Napoleon’s fleets. He developed the area around Oakley Street and Caversham Street. The Trafalgar pub, which became the King’s Road’s first new public house in a century when it opened in October 2025, honours his legacy in the Havannah Room, named for the frigate he captained. All said, if the Cadogans made it, Sloane named it. The statue outside the Cadogan Estate’s head office, further up the King’s Road, honours Sir Hans, and Hans Town, which extends into Knightsbridge, is known for its exuberant red-brick streets (Hans Street, Hans Place, Hans Road and so on) and lively skylines of Dutch gables. Sloane Street, which rivals Bond Street and Fifth Avenue for luxury shopping, has just undergone a £46 million

upgrade that included botanical landscaping and majestic new trees. Fully 15 of Cadogan’s 93 acres in Chelsea are gardens or some form of greenery. Sir Hans would surely approve. And then there is Sloane Square, “the spiritual and geographical centre of the known world”, according to The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook in 1982. For that tribe, Diana, Princess of Wales was the standard-bearer; she lived locally before marrying. When Jean Louis-Costes’s deluxe mansion-block hotel recently opened on Sloane Gardens, just off Sloane Square, it was christened At Sloane, revealing just how evergreen the name has proved to be.

BELGRAVIA

Ian Fleming James Bond’s creator made Belgravia his home

BELGRAVIA A feat of placemaking Neighbouring Belgravia drew on another remarkable family history: the Grosvenors can trace their ancestry back to relatives of William the Conqueror. Belgravia became one of the greatest feats of urban placemaking anywhere. Aided by the industrious master builder Thomas Cubitt, Robert Grosvenor, 1st Marquess of Westminster (1767-1845), reclaimed this land from marshes and highwaymen, then began turning it into a spectacle of lovely cream stuccoed crescents, terraces and squares. The scale of the transformation between the 1820s and the 1840s must have been startling. Belgrave Square alone extended to 10 acres. Design details were remarkably complete, down to the communal gardens, roads, granite curbs, pavements, iron lampposts, sanitation and other such amenities that boosted the wellbeing of fortunate residents. Belgravia would become the last word in urbane glamour during our modern age. Three Bond actors (Sean Connery, Roger Moore and the villain-playing Christopher Lee) chose to live here, as did 007’s creator, Ian Fleming. Robert balanced the newness of his development with names from his family’s venerable land holdings in Cheshire: the tiny village of Belgrave; Eaton Hall, the Grosvenors’ seat; Eccleston, the village that houses the family vault; and Chester, the nearest city. All have squares and other streets named after them. Alert to the value of alliances, the Grosvenors also honoured their in-laws. Stately Wilton Crescent is named after Robert’s father-in-law, the Earl of Wilton, while tree-lined Elizabeth Street honours his daughter-in-law, Lady Elizabeth Leveson-Gower. The Leveson-Gowers’ land holdings in Staffordshire, Yorkshire and Scotland further consolidated the family’s influence. Robert’s grandson would become the Duke of Westminster in 1874.

MAYFAIR To the manor born There was another name in Belgravia, of yet greater significance. Deeper in their back story, the Grosvenors unlocked their deca-billion-pound property destiny via the Manor of Ebury. This ancient estate stretched up from the river through what became Pimlico and Belgravia, then north beside Hyde Park to present-day Oxford Street. It had passed into the hands of an infant called Mary Davies on the death of her father (a clerk) in 1665. This was the year of the Great Plague, followed by that of the Great Fire: tumultuous events that cleared the way for development across London’s historic centre. During the late 17th century, the 300-acre Manor of Ebury remained mostly farmland and marsh. A May or Hay Fair moved to the site of present-day Shepherd Market during the

1680s. There are no prizes for guessing the month when it took place, but the activities that took root there may surprise: “semolina eating contests”, “women’s foot racing”, gambling, bull-baiting, bare-knuckle fighting. A wider fight ensued between the organisers and the aristocrats who were building their mansions on nearby Piccadilly. The boisterous, raucous May Fair eventually closed for good, but its celebratory name lives on. The site was built over in the 18th century by architect Edward Shepherd, but something of the louche spirit remains in Shepherd Market. Its atmospheric lanes were once a popular haunt for well-born young men – Kitty Fisher’s, a restaurant in Shepherd Market, honours a celebrated 18th-century courtesan who won the admiration of the serial womaniser Casanova. Young Mary Davies’s inheritance did not go unnoticed. In 1672, her guardian agreed a future marriage to the son of Lord Berkeley of Stratton – one of the aristocrats building extravagant residences on Piccadilly. Lord Berkeley couldn’t keep his end of the bargain, which involved money promised to the couple. The marriage fell through, but the family’s fortunes recovered sufficiently to create Berkeley Square, now home to the celebrated nightclub Annabel’s (named after Lady Annabel Goldsmith, daughter of the Marquess of Londonderry). The Grosvenors filled the marriage vacancy. Like Sir Henry Rich, they did not enjoy a good Civil War, having supported Charles I and seen their finances dwindle – Mary’s wealth provided an ideal solution. Sir Thomas Grosvenor (Robert’s great-grandfather) duly tied the knot with her in 1677. PORT FOLIO BY SAVI LLS 2026

All the indications are that the couple enjoyed a loving relationship, and Mary was grief-stricken when Thomas died of fever in 1700. Responsibility for the estate passed to her eldest son, Sir Richard, who led the development of the Manor of Ebury, starting in the 1720s. Brook Street was probably named after the Tyburn stream, which it crossed. Running parallel to the south were Grosvenor Street and Mount Street (a reference to Oliver Cromwell’s Mount fortification from the Civil War). “Peas, cabbages and turnips once grew where now stands New Bond Street, and a new Square,” marvelled a popular poet, beholding the city’s westward march. Sir Thomas Bond was another developer getting in on the frenzy. Grosvenor Square was the estate’s centrepiece and the family masterstroke. Twice as big as Berkeley Square, it redefined “public realm” at the apex of society. The distinctive “wilderness worke” of elm hedging, turf, plants, flowering shrubs and dwarf trees – criss-crossed by walkways for promenading – pushed the area to top spot on the Monopoly board. More than two-thirds of the square’s first tenants were titled. The “fair Air”, proximity to Hyde Park and opportunities to form and refine alliances made it irresistible: the most elite families in the land became resident in the West End for the Season. In 2026, the square’s garden is reopening with an oval lawn (a nod to its original design), woodland- and wetland-inspired zones (today’s wilderness work), 70,000 plants and more than 40 new trees. The street plan honours Mary Grosvenor as well. Davies Street runs north-south, just east of Grosvenor Square, and Audley Street runs north-south down its western side – Sir Hugh Audley being the ancestor who first acquired the Manor of Ebury. 42

The 1713 marriage between Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford and Mortimer, and Henrietta Cavendish Holles brought a London A-Z of street names in its train. From his side: Harley Street, known today for its medical specialists; Oxford Street, which is soon to be pedestrianised; Mortimer Street; and Wigmore Street (and Hall), after Wigmore Castle and the Harleys’ Herefordshire seat. As the only child of the Duke of Newcastle and Lady Margaret Cavendish, Henrietta brought the larger London land holdings to this alliance. She quite rightly won more street names, if less prominent ones: Henrietta Place; Cavendish Square; Old and New Cavendish Streets; Cavendish Place and Mews; Holles Street; and Wimpole Street, after her father’s seat in Cambridgeshire. Margaret Street was named after the couple’s daughter, who was also an heiress; she married into the Portland family, which would go on to establish the Howard de Walden Estate in Marylebone. For true “main character energy”, however, look to Lady Elizabeth Montagu, who married the Earl of Sandwich’s grandson in 1742. She became renowned for her literary evenings. Women’s rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft drew inspiration from these soirées, as did one of its attendees, Benjamin Stillingfleet – he reportedly gave the circle its “Bluestockings” name, owing to the blue worsted pairs he wore.

LONDON DECODED

Each May Day, Lady Montagu gave a thank-you dinner of roast beef and plum pudding for chimney sweeps. One of these boys, David Porter, graduated to become a builder and went on to name Montagu Square and Place in her honour. Her spirit of curiosity and debate also survived. Ringo Starr rented at 34 Montagu Square in 1965, when Beatlemania was cresting. Paul McCartney recorded demos here, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono also lived in the flat. Paul also stayed at 57 Wimpole Street, the family home of his then girlfriend, Jane Asher. Marylebone’s name, too, was a scramble – of Mary-by-theBourne or similar. “Mary” was the medieval Church of St Mary, now demolished. The “bourne” was the Tyburn stream, which ran past the church, down the current course of Marylebone Lane, then across present-day Oxford Street and along South Molton Street into Mayfair. Today, the stream runs below highly valuable ground.

HAMPSTEAD London’s lofty outlier The source of the Tyburn stream lies three miles north of Marylebone, in Hampstead. This name is one of the most ancient of all: Old English for homestead, and originally a realm of wolves and other wild animals. Henry VIII claimed the local estates from Westminster Abbey following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. A keen huntsman, he issued a proclamation in 1545 reserving all hare, partridge, pheasant and heron up here for himself. Poachers risked being “punished at His Majesty’s will and pleasure”. For several centuries, water defined local life. It was so pure that it never froze. Scores of washerwomen cleaned up – no pun intended – after their far-flung clientele discovered that they gave the whitest wash in London. According to Christopher Wade’s book Hampstead Past, bushes on the Heath were so festooned with washing hung out to dry that a skipper on the faraway Thames remarked that the hill of Hampstead looked snowcapped. A spa town – or spa village – emerged, hence Well Walk, Flask Walk (for bottling the water; also a namesake pub) and Chalybeate Well (signifying the water’s health properties). It was a place to seek relief from gout, scrofula or other maladies, and this sustained the feeling of separateness. Of the prime London neighbourhoods now claiming “village” status, nowhere does it ring more true. In our times, the Heath has most defined Hampstead. This continuous green space stretches to 790 acres – more than double the size of Hyde Park – and offers panoramic views from Parliament Hill. If London is known for its green lungs, then Hampstead Heath is its crowning achievement. It could so easily have been different. Lordship of the manor of Hampstead passed by inheritance to Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Baronet of Eastbourne and Charlton (1800-69). From 1829, he sought private acts of parliament to let him build. In 1844, he drew up plans for luxury villas along a meandering lane from Jack Straw’s Castle (north of the village; formerly a pub) to Downshire Hill (named after Wills Hill, Marquess of Downshire – a popular public figure who neither lived nor owned here). Sir Thomas died a frustrated man, though not before scarring the Heath by allowing large-scale sand extraction. Among his many opponents were the Mansfields, owners of Kenwood House, where the Humphry Repton-designed grounds blended with the Heath and offered fabulous sightlines. Hampstead is an outlier – figuratively and literally – because key landowners prevented development. There is a Mansfield Place in the village, but that is all. Today, Hampstead is home to a galaxy of stars from the worlds of

TV, comedy and film, perhaps for this very reason: the heightened feeling of independence. Yet there remains a coda. Kenwood House implanted in the minds of homebuyers the urban villa ideal. The Bishops Avenue, running north from Kenwood House, was developed at the turn of the 20th century. It looks like a mirror image of Wilson’s plan for the Heath – substantial detached homes, prized for their proximity to the big house. In this sense, they resemble the wedding-cake villas of Holland Park, only their owners can make them far more comprehensively their own – and how they have. The Bishops Avenue is one of several famous north London place names with ecclesiastical origins, along with St John’s Wood and Abbey Road. It all underscores what a magical mystery tour London’s history turns out to be. Little about these most desirable of places was preordained. So much resulted from human desires, obstacles and resolutions that echo down the centuries, gifting us a cultural and built heritage that is as rich as it is alive.

LIVING HERITAGE

The capital’s historic estates are the architects and stewards of many of its finest neighbourhoods, curating a vibrant mix of storied grandeur and modern placemaking

ALAMY

any of the finest swathes of central London have been shaped by the historic estates that own them. It is no accident that their celebrated garden squares and stucco crescents endure across centuries. The stewardship of these estates ensures that the neighbourhoods are retained for future generations, with tired high streets revitalised and historic buildings restored. Environmental impact has become an equally key element, including the repurposing of the public realm and the greening of public spaces. Models of modern placemaking, these estates balance the commercial interests of stakeholders with the needs of residents. “Their continuity contributes to London’s global appeal,” says Amelia Greene, Savills UK head of lettings. “These estates innovate by creating or renewing neighbourhoods, and their reputation for long-term management is important to investors and residents.” A prime example is the Cadogan Estate, which encompasses 93 acres of Chelsea and Knightsbridge. Its house management team works closely with tenants, and provides a loyalty card for those who live and work in the area to enjoy discounts across the shopping and dining destinations of Duke of York Square, Sloane Street (above centre) and Pavilion Road. “Across the estate, there’s a wide range of housing, from super-prime

038_SAV.indd 44

houses to mansion blocks, neat converted apartments above King’s Road shops to mews on Pavilion Road,” says Greene. The nearby South Kensington Estate, a similarly diverse portfolio of properties, is owned and managed by the Wellcome Trust. Design-led yet sustainable enhancements include the upgrading of Pelham Street and Brompton Cross with high-quality office space and improved residential and public realm. Famed for its stucco terraces, the area includes Onslow Gardens, Cranley Place and the mansion blocks of Lennox Gardens. These historic estates create initiatives that foster cohesion and liveability. Alongside the glow-up of Motcomb Street on the Grosvenor Estate in Belgravia, Grosvenor Square in Mayfair is enjoying a multimillion-pound transformation with new woodland gardens, wetlands and play areas. “There’s a clear strategy that it should not be a ‘lock-up-and-leave’ neighbourhood, but one with full-time vibrancy,” says Greene. “There’s a good balance of Georgian stucco [above left], luxury developments and purpose-built serviced apartments for both long- and short-term lets.” One of the most celebrated reimaginings of a high street in the city is Marylebone, thanks to its stewardship by the Howard de Walden Estate. The 30-year transformation into an upmarket village with curated

boutiques and restaurants has made it one of the most desirable locations for a London pied-à-terre (Devonshire Mews, above right). Across the 95-acre estate, housing consists mostly of flats, from period conversions to super-prime new developments. Offering very different housing stock, yet a similarly improved high street, is St John’s Wood. Owned by the Eyre family for 285 years, the leafy garden suburb was masterplanned in 1794 and pioneered the semi-detached Italianate villa. Since 2022, the high street has been widened, green infrastructure added and its commercial tenants curated, helping to make St John’s Wood a sought-after area for families – especially those from the US, thanks to the nearby American School in London. “It remains much in demand for its villagey feel and plentiful green spaces,” says Greene. The Church Commissioners of England own and manage the 90-acre Hyde Park Estate, which includes Connaught Village, a triangle of one-off boutiques, cafés and galleries, and the ponds and meandering pathways of the Water Gardens estate. Housing stock is a mix of portered and concierge-serviced period apartments and late Georgian townhouses. For prime central London lettings, contact Amelia Greene: agreene@savills.com

Hinchwick Manor, opposite, boasts handsome Jacobean proportions and glorious bucolic views

With its honeyed stone walls and verdant setting of rolling hills, Hinchwick Manor is the epitome of Cotswold charm. Built 200 years ago to a design harking further back down the centuries to the Jacobean era, this storied estate oﬀers a vision of country-house living for the 21st century Words by James Collard

HINCHWICK MANOR IS LIKE a dream of England. Through the arch of a gatehouse, we see a courtyard and, beyond, a fine-looking house in honey-coloured stone, with grand Jacobean proportions, mullioned windows and strikingly tall chimney stacks. Tucked away in a secluded Gloucestershire valley, Hinchwick is “its own world – when you’re there, you can’t see anything outside of it”, says someone who grew up in this idyllic setting: a member of the Asquith family, descendants of the leading statesman of Britain’s Edwardian era, who have owned Hinchwick since the 1980s.

lie in the beating heart of the Cotswolds – within easy striking distance of Cheltenham and Cirencester, and five miles or so from the iconic villages of Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh (which has direct trains to London). As Crispin Holborow, country director, Savills Private Office, says: “Hinchwick Manor Estate is in the absolute sweet spot for anyone looking to live in the north Cotswolds. The manor and the surrounding landscape – with its wonderful rolling hills and belts of mature woodland – provide a timeless backdrop in an A1 location.” Much has been said about how “cool” the Cotswolds have become – with smart private members’ clubs and hotels, and an enviable foodie scene characterised by artisan bakers and the kind of cosy village pub that serves English charcuterie and a choice of pudding wines. But there is also an innate nostalgia to our love of the Cotswolds, the region that spans the counties of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, and spreads into Wiltshire, Somerset, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Its ancient landscape of rolling hills and winding country lanes is dotted with handsome market towns and villages, all of it – from fine old churches and former coaching inns to country houses large and small – in that lovely Cotswold stone. Technically, this is oolitic limestone, but the Cotswolds bring out the poetic in people. Witness JB Priestley in his 1934 travelogue English Journey. “The truth is that it has no colour that can be described,” he wrote (although “honey-coloured” is the conventional description). “Even when the sun is obscured and the light is cold, these walls are still faintly warm and luminous, as if they knew the trick of keeping the lost sunlight of centuries glimmering about them.” And when the sun is out on a summer’s day, well, what’s not to love? For many of us, then, Hinchwick Manor – not palatial in scale, but still substantial – represents a particular kind of ideal. This is a “gentleman’s farmhouse”, according to its Grade II heritage listing, and its attractions feel timeless, from views along what is effectively your own valley to the crunch of gravel underfoot as you approach the house through a courtyard framed by an octagonal cluster of outbuildings.

Likewise, the larger estate of farmland and woods speaks powerfully of the glimmering centuries Priestley summoned to mind. In this bucolic setting are an Iron Age hillfort, a medieval boundary stone and the parish church of St Nicholas, Condicote, dating back to Norman times. Yet the house was an exercise in romantic nostalgia even when it was built – 200 years ago, during the Industrial Revolution, in an architectural style that harked back another two centuries to the Jacobean era. Hinchwick as we see it today is essentially the creation of one family: the Cockerells, descendants of the diarist Samuel Pepys. At the turn of the 19th century, they were wealthy “nabobs” – Regency slang for those young men who went off to India to work for the East India Company and returned, often with their health broken, but their fortunes made. Colonel John Cockerell bought the

neighbouring Sezincote estate in 1795; on inheriting it, John’s younger brother, Sir Charles Cockerell, commissioned a third brother, the architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell, to rebuild Sezincote in Indo-Mughal style, using local stone stained to imitate the red sandstone of many Indian palaces. Then, having acquired Hinchwick – which would remain part of the Sezincote estate until the 1920s – Sir Charles commissioned Samuel’s son Charles to build a new manor house there. Charles Robert Cockerell was a dashing figure – an intrepid traveller, classicist and archaeologist, newly returned from his extensive travels around Greece and Egypt, then Florence and Rome, where his smart circle had included the artists Canova and Ingres. Some of his discoveries are now in the British Museum, and he went on to be a successful architect and a Royal Academician – the RA memorialised him on his death in 1863, praising his understanding of “the power of the antique to fire the imagination”. At Hinchwick, he drew inspiration from a vision of a long-vanished England: hence those splendid Jacobean flourishes, now tempered by two centuries of English weather. In the 1930s, Hinchwick’s new owners, the Pilkingtons (of glassmaking fame), made additions in honey-coloured

Cotswold stone – naturally – and in a suitably nostalgic Arts and Crafts style. With its attics and outhouses, including the vast refurbished barn, now used for family occasions and parties, Hinchwick was “a wonderful place for playing hide-and-seek as children”, recalls the family member of the changes made by the late Stephen Asquith, who inherited the estate via a great-aunt who had married a Pilkington. “I remember us playing with the bells [formerly used to summon servants]. But my father set out to make it more comfortable by creating large rooms out of a warren of smaller ones.” Thus, behind Charles Cockerell’s splendid façade, there lies a comfortable family home designed for 21st-century country-house living – from a capacious kitchen and a breakfast room to the three spacious bedroom suites on the first floor. Above that are a further seven bedrooms and two bathrooms, roomy enough, surely, for even the most extended of families. A dream of England, perhaps, but in reality an eminently liveable one. Hinchwick Manor and Estate, including four cottages, farmstead, arable and pasture farmland and woodland, is available as a whole with a guide price of £21.65 million or in three separate lots.

According to the tech-focused growth investor Finch Capital, London outpaces both New York and San Francisco when it comes to fintech.

Issue 8 of Savills Impacts explored incentives on offer, from tax breaks on foreign income to golden visas that offer pathways to residency or citizenship in return for capital and investment.

intelligence. Singapore has invested in a series of government-backed AI hubs that help local businesses to harness services from Google, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services. According to a recent report from Morgan Stanley, about 70% of companies in Singapore regularly use AI. “Singapore continues to stand out for its stability,” says Otto Twist, Savills Southeast Asia director. “When we look at what is going well there, three things stand out: sustained capital inflows, a strong talent pipeline and a well-governed regulatory and business environment.” Long known as one of the world’s best cities for doing business – it is in fourth spot in the Savills HNW Individuals Hotspots Index – Hong Kong has been further buoyed by its determination to attract businesses and investment. Over the past year, almost 200,000 companies registered there, according to figures from the Hong Kong Companies Registry, taking the total number of businesses to 1.5 million. As a traditional “offshore” centre, Hong Kong has had to adapt to the global minimum tax rate of 15% for multinational enterprises. This levy, however, comes with a number of advantages for businesses – not least the potential for tax deductions on R&D and capital expenditure.

here are the best cities to do business today? States around the world have long strived to be as attractive as possible to entrepreneurs, founders and corporations, putting in place laws and tax regimes that make it as easy as possible to build and grow businesses. And while London, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore are longstanding rivals as world-class commercial hubs, the first quarter of the 21st century has seen new players enter this ever more competitive field. In a world of mobile capital and digital connectivity, destinations have to do more than ever to stand out. Yet many of the fundamentals remain the same: competitive and stable tax policies with investment incentives, and effective contract enforcement and the rule of law. This year’s geopolitical uncertainty, however, is a reminder that peace and security are paramount. For some, this will have shifted the dial back to more traditional havens – including London. “In times of volatility, traditional centres of wealth can seem especially appealing – and London’s enduring qualities as a great city for both business and lifestyle are undeniable,” says Rory McMullen, co-head of Savills Private Office. The city is currently showing its strength in its traditional financial and legal fields as well as its burgeoning tech sector. The influential Global Financial Centres Index

Long renowned as a fashion capital, it has seen the Italian government make a concerted effort to attract and support more businesses over the past decade.

In December 2025, Microsoft confirmed a new package of investments into Canada, set to be worth about $5 billion over the next two years. The city’s fundamentals can hold their own against any US rival. For example, the wider Toronto city region has the third largest tech talent pool in North America, with more than 285,000 jobs across the fields of software, systems and engineering. Toronto is also a focal point for venture capital, with deals totalling CAD$2.9 billion in the first half of 2025 alone. And Toronto has long been home to the continent’s second largest financial services centre, serving as the base for Canada’s five major banks, as well as a range of private banks, asset managers and legal firms. While cities that are new to the global spotlight might be revelling in their new-found financial appeal, none can afford to rest on its laurels. The fast-changing nature of the modern economy – and the exponential rise of tech – means there is no room for complacency. Gone are the days of competing purely on tax rates: today’s business capitals are expected to distinguish themselves as much by their vision and strategy as by their corporate levies. It might sound like a difficult balance to strike, but these dynamic cities demonstrate how well it can be done.

which show that, despite a slight slowdown from 2024, the city continues to outperform every other major conurbation in the United States, with twice the job growth of nearby Philadelphia, for example. Of course, New York remains home to the largest talent pool in North America, with a workforce of more than four million people. It also remains the most popular destination for college-educated workers, with the US Census showing that more than 6% of American graduates who move relocate to New York City. In 2023, it attracted twice as many college graduates as Los Angeles and Chicago combined. The city is also home to 200,000 small and medium-sized enterprises and the headquarters of 50 of the world’s largest companies, according to the Fortune 500. Like other cities across the US and beyond, New York is taking steps to attract fast-growing technology companies, including those focused on AI. A new International Landing Pad Network is intended to connect promising tech start-ups with potential sources of investment within New York. When it comes to AI talent and ventures, the city will have competition not just from other US hubs, but also from across the border – the Canadian government recently launched an ambitious visa programme for high-skilled workers, including researchers and engineers in the tech sector. The scheme could be a boon to Toronto’s thriving AI

THE RESILIENT GARDEN

Adapting to a more dramatic climate requires a fresh approach to your lawns and borders, from scouring the globe for planting inspiration to creating a lake for rainwater harvest

RESILIENCE IS THE NEW WATCHWORD in garden design. In Britain, the once gentle climatic conditions that were perfect for creating the green and fecund gardens so admired around the world are giving way to more extreme patterns. Warmer, wetter winters, periods of drought and increased summer temperatures – 40.3C was recorded in Lincolnshire in 2022 – are now common. Even in continental Europe, which is used to more dramatic weather, the trend is similarly pronounced: summer temperatures now regularly reach 42C in southern France and Italy, often for prolonged periods. Even a Mediterranean garden would struggle to deal with these conditions. Garden designers are increasingly studying and cherry-picking planting and landscape techniques from across the globe that can be applied to different environments. Whether it’s hardy rose varieties from Kazakhstan, resilient trees from Asia, succulent sedum from North America or ingenious underground water-capture systems, advanced knowledge and inventive solutions are more in demand than ever. If you are hiring a garden designer, be sure to ask about their experience with these approaches. In the UK, gardeners are finding that rising average temperatures increase evaporation, which dries soils faster, while rainfall is arriving in fewer but more intense bursts, rather than providing steady replenishment – a shift that climate projections indicate will continue, especially in southern and eastern counties. To counter this recurring

challenge, resilience is all-important in soil, plant choice and water management, reducing stress for the plants – and garden owners. This doesn’t mean we need to rip out herbaceous borders and start again, but it’s well worth taking inspiration from gardens designed for drought, including Beth Chatto’s gravel garden near Colchester in Essex, or the newly created Delos garden at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, where Mediterranean oaks are underplanted with dry and shade-tolerant species. The walled garden at Knepp Castle in West Sussex is particularly clever. Instead of the usual herbaceous border stars, it includes silver and leathery-leafed plants that have evolved to deal with heat, while eryngiums, grasses, red hot pokers, euphorbias and sedums – many of which originate in the Mediterranean, South America and Asia – thrive in the harsh conditions. Nicola Pusterla, a designer with Tom Stuart-Smith’s studio in Hertfordshire who has worked extensively in the Mediterranean, warns that although these schemes may not need much watering once the plants are established, they necessitate considerable thought when planting and tending. “If anything, these planting schemes require more attention and skill, because you’re going to be dealing with grasses, herbaceous plants, shrubby plants, subshrubs and so on,” he says. “You need to treat every plant individually – you have to deal with the life expectancy of the plants and how they regenerate.” Pusterla cites lavenders such as L dentata: “They grow fast and might swallow their neighbours, then after two years they are gone, especially if you overwater them. But you can clip them and have fresh growth from the base, so they never age too much.” For those with established gardens, change doesn’t have to be radical. Sometimes it is simply a matter of tweaking. Alexander

Hoyle, a designer based in London and Wiltshire who has worked in challenging climates as far afield as Pakistan, Morocco and Azerbaijan, is optimistic about how we can adapt as we go, replacing vulnerable plants with varieties already in our canon that will achieve the same effect, but are more resilient to extremes. “You don’t have to reinvent the wheel,” he says. “You can still have the same floral calendar.” For height, Hoyle suggests, “you might put in loads of hollyhocks instead of your delphiniums, and have fewer lupins”. He also recommends beefing up on bearded irises (Iris germanica), the rhizomes of which positively enjoy baking in the sun – the Benton End varieties, which are becoming increasingly available, have especially lovely hues. “Thalictrum seems to grow quite well if it doesn’t have a lot of water, and Libertia grandiflora is a fantastic plant – it will grow anywhere,” Hoyle says. As for valerian (Centranthus ruber): “It is my favourite plant. I love the white one.” For leading designer Marcus Barnet, responding to the realities of climate change means creating landscapes that are adaptable and future-proof. “Wherever possible, we prioritise native and siteappropriate species that are naturally suited to local conditions,” he explains. “We focus on drought-tolerant planting strategies that reduce irrigation demand while still delivering seasonal richness and colour.” He also points to the increasing popularity of wildflower meadows, which strengthen ecological networks – and look dreamily beautiful. Plant breeders, too, are responding to the new climate: research programmes are selecting for deeper roots and efficient water use, while participatory trials are accelerating the arrival of cultivars that perform in variable conditions. For example, although roses are generally drought-tolerant, there are exciting developments in the

breeding of Rosa persica varieties by specialists such as Harkness Roses and Warners Roses. Natives of Iran, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan, these roses are used to searing conditions and have a semi-wild appearance, with blushed centres. Planting trees now entails trying to look even further into the future and second-guessing the role the tree will play in the garden – from the shade it will provide to its ability to slow rainfall and deal with a lack of water. For a directory of more than 500 types chosen for their resilience, consult The Essential Tree Selection Guide: For Climate Resilience, Carbon Storage, Species Diversity and Other Ecosystem Benefits by Henrik Sjöman and Arit Anderson. Improving soil’s organic matter increases water-holding capacity, and mulching can cut surface evaporation dramatically (and ward off weeds, which compete for water). Both are simple measures that help plants to ride out longer dry intervals. Harvesting rainwater from roofs into water butts and even subterranean tanks provides a free supply, although Pusterla prefers to create lakes that can be pumped, if space allows. “It is valuable for biodiversity,” he says. “You let the water go back into the water table, then just pump the right amount.” As for the lawn, instead of mowing it to a crew cut, then watering wildly to keep it emerald during a dry period, perhaps let it grow longer – come the autumn rains, it will green up again. What we expect of our gardens must change along with the climate, but, carried out in the right spirit, change can be refreshing.

Tanera Mòr was a remote and run-down Scottish island when the financier and philanthropist Ian Wace bought it in 2017. Today it is both a haven and a hive – a community rekindled by imagination, industriousness and kindness Words by Gill Morgan

hen financier and philanthropist Ian Wace saw an advertisement for Tanera Mòr in Country Life, it seemed so beautiful that he decided to go and take a look. “And it was very beautiful. But then I thought, ‘Well, that’s a stupid idea, why on earth would anyone do that?’” Four years later, in 2017, the island was still on the market, this time with Savills. Clearly something about Tanera had captured Wace, and he went to see it again: “I realised it was dying, going the way of every other island that gets into that sort of situation. And I thought, ‘If you have the ability to save one, maybe you should do something.’” What that saving would actually mean, he had no idea. Tanera Mòr, which means “island of the haven”, is the largest of the Summer Isles, an archipelago a mile off the coast of the Coigach peninsula in northwest Scotland. It is a place of great loveliness – 800 acres of rocky terrain and sandy bays, with transporting views in every direction. But there is much more than natural beauty to Tanera’s magic: this is a very human story of regeneration, resilience and community, of what is possible with thoughtful investment and imagination. It is the story of creating a vibrant new world inspired by an ancient one. “At the beginning I had zero view of what I would do,” says Wace, who has invested tens of millions into Tanera over the past nine years. “I came here with an open mind. I absorbed it and looked – and you had to look carefully, because it had basically gone.” The ruins of buildings were, in the main, about a foot high, the weeds about three feet high. Robbie Punt, now a guest host, was one of the earliest to join the Tanera project back in 2019, intrigued by what he’d heard about the plans for regeneration. He describes how they sent up drones to discover the footprints of the old houses buried in heather and undergrowth. The island has been home to many people in its long history. There is evidence of Viking settlements, and for centuries it has supported a small but resilient population, with fishing, crop production and cattle all playing their part. The island enjoyed a boom in the late 18th 64

062_SAV.indd 64

century as a bustling centre of the herring industry, but the waters were overfished, the boats left and the island’s population gradually dwindled. The family who owned Tanera before Wace had worked valiantly to keep the island alive, but time and money ran out. Now, with his intervention, a new generation is putting down roots here, drawn by the energy and ambition of what is being created. In the beginning, Tanera was largely a construction project. On his regular visits to the island, Wace, a keen painter, would sketch his vision of what these ruined buildings could become. Working with

a talented team of stonemasons and carpenters, and using reclaimed materials wherever possible, he set about turning the sketches into reality. They looked for clues in the island’s history and topography: “As many people tell me, ‘The answer to Tanera is on Tanera.’” Building went at a fast pace, making good use of those light Scottish summer evenings. But still there was no master plan. As the 30-plus houses and cottages came back to life, a new chapter revealed itself. Like most things to do with Tanera, this was almost an accidental development, as one of the charities that Wace supports was looking for somewhere to host a retreat. He offered up Tanera, then a concept developed of offering restorative breaks to frontline public-sector workers in stressful roles. To date, the island has opened its doors to more than 1,000 people, who become part of the community for a week, enjoying the embrace of this lovely place. The island now employs about 150 people, with an average age of 33. Some live on the island, many more on the mainland, commuting over on the speedboat that runs throughout the day. It is a hive of purposeful activity. The larger buildings are used for communal feasts, gatherings, workshops and wellness classes. All are finished with the same exacting levels of craftsmanship and thoughtful design, using reclaimed materials and architectural salvage pieces that lend the spaces a solid beauty and authenticity. A new road connects the north and south ends of the island, and a web of walking paths has been laid. There is a chapel, a pub, a sauna, an art studio, a gym, a cinema (housed on a refitted steamship), a loom shed, a fleet of boats, including two old fishing luggers – and the quarry, the beating heart of the island. It is here that you really see Tanera in action. At one of the highest points on the island, there is a sharp turn off the road. This is the quarry where much of the stone was excavated for the reconstruction work. Rather than leave an empty scar at the heart of the island, it has been turned into Tanera HQ, with offices, staff accommodation, a joinery workshop, a foundry, a mechanics hub and the Cookhouse, a gleaming kitchen and communal eating/living space.

‘WACE DESCRIBES TANERA AS A CATALYST. THE NEXT PHASE IS HOW THIS POSITIVE IMPACT CAN BE SCALED’

When I arrive at lunchtime, the door opens to the astonishing sight and sound, on this tiny island, of 50 people eating and talking together on long communal tables; it’s a hive of sociable nourishment and the daily epicentre of Tanera life. There is no division between front and back of house: utilitarian spaces coexist with living spaces, all solid and beautifully built. It brings to mind William Morris’s adage, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” Here are construction workers, housekeeping staff, gardeners, ecologists, accountants, volunteers, mechanics and guests filling their plates – some in the next room playing pool, others sitting by the woodburner before they go back out to work. It’s impossible to tell who is who. It is alive. Susanne Schlie is head chef. With a culinary philosophy shaped by the influential food scene in Copenhagen, where she lived and worked for many years, she is steering the menus towards nutritionally rich, simple dishes, using as many island-grown ingredients as possible. She explains that meals used to be ferried around the island in a Land Rover. “Now everyone comes here to eat together – and it just works.” Robin Irvine lived on Tanera as a teenager with his brother and mother, the Castaway writer Lucy Irvine. His grandfather, then his aunt and uncle, ran the Summer Isles Hotel on the mainland, now also part of the growing Tanera project. Irvine, who studied at Cambridge and has a PhD in social anthropology, is the project’s land and community manager, and has a deep understanding of the island’s history and culture. He is erudite, passionate, but also pragmatic, and has no truck with trying simply to recreate the past. Instead he wants to build a viable future. “This place can’t be stuck in aspic,” he explains, stressing that this is not one fixed community but many, and that visitors have long been part of the picture. With a team of ecologists and horticulturalists, Irvine has ambitious plans to increase cultivation using the traditional Hebridean method of creating “lazy beds” – long mounds of earth topped with seaweed to lift crops above the sodden soil, protected from the winds with woven willow walls. The land team, with the help of volunteers, is creating a huge growing area in the middle of the island. Elsewhere there are greenhouses and polytunnels. Tanera stands at a critical moment: 95% of the construction work is completed and 100,000 trees have been planted. There are skilled and committed people involved in every aspect of the project, from land

management to hospitality, impact assessment to ecology. An impact report records, from inception in 2017 up to 2025, the project’s immense scope and achievements on employment, regeneration of buildings and land, biodiversity and wellness. Tanera is now a valued partner for a wide range of academic research projects. The next phase is how this positive impact can be spread and scaled up. Wace describes Tanera as a catalyst, and many of the stories I hear involve unplanned, organic developments. If Tanera is an experiment, it is a deeply human one, where everyone involved is bringing their ideas and passion to bear. There are countless tales of felicitous meetings, organic connections, the random solution to a problem that becomes the next big idea. It is a mix of the deeply local and a much wider world of knowledge and wisdom. Many of Tanera’s earliest participants talk about the “wild west years”, when it was all hands on deck, everyone mucking in, getting through the harsh winters, making it up as they went along. The CEO, Adam Blaker, who arrived three years ago, calls it “multifunctionality”, and wants to keep flexibility embedded in the island’s DNA. Eilidh Macneilage, now head of hospitality, prefers to call it “the Hebridean way”, by which she means that if you live in this part of the world, you need to be able to turn your hand to many things – you might run the post office, but you will probably also have a boat, and need to be able to fix the engine. Macneilage is from Achiltibuie, the nearest village on the mainland, and her mother worked in the tea shop on the island run by the previous owners. “I’d play on the beach while she worked,” she says. “Tanera has always been part of my life – I feel very protective of it.” Like so many in rural Scottish communities where employment prospects are scarce, Macneilage left in search of opportunities. She went travelling for four weeks to southeast Asia and stayed for 10 years, working in an international school in Thailand. In 2018, having decided to come home, she heard about Tanera’s new owner from her brother, one of the original boat team. “I was initially employed in the office,” she says. “Then, when we started hosting people in 2019, I jumped over to that side of things.” Now she is responsible for building and training the team who deliver Tanera’s unique brand of hospitality. Macneilage was entrusted with fetching an old weaving loom from Lewis that Wace decided to buy for the island. It’s a story that illustrates perfectly Tanera’s powers of reinvention. Macneilage persuaded Aeneas and Kenny, the two weavers in their seventies who were selling the loom, to come to the island for a week every month to train members of the team. Back at home on the mainland in Achiltibuie, she spread the word, inviting volunteers from the village to come and have a go. Retirees Jane, Ali and Julie rose to the challenge and quickly fell under the loom’s spell. They are now volunteers teaching guests how to weave. What comes next is the real magic: so enamoured are the women of their new skill, they are in the process of setting up their own weaving social enterprise on the mainland. They have bought a loom, will offer classes and will sell their work. As things grow, they may also employ people. “We might just be in profit by the time we’re 80,” they joke. I hear countless similar stories throughout my time on Tanera: the apprentice stonemason who is now successfully self-employed; the young carpenter who has set up his own joinery business in Ullapool. Some more tangential ripples are felt: impact officer Orfhlaith McDevitt, who arrived two years ago after deciding to forgo a master’s degree at the LSE, is putting down roots in Achiltibuie and, with a Tanera colleague, reinvigorating the local rowing club. Other longstanding employees are girding themselves to leave, to forge a life beyond the island and put the lessons they’ve learnt there into practice. The village school roll is gradually growing. The seedlings are taking root in unexpected places.

The next stage of the project rests on the mainland. In 2024, Wace bought three significant properties there, as well as 8,000 acres of land that he has gifted to the Coigach Community Development Company. The restoration of the eight-bedroom Manse, on the edge of Achiltibuie, and the six-bedroom Farmhouse, up the coast at Achnahaird, has been completed, while the ambitious redevelopment of the Summer Isles Hotel, an anchor of the local economy and community, is under way, with a reopening date of late 2027. The idea is to operate all three as commercial entities, delivering hospitality imbued with a unique Tanera spirit, but with income fed into the broader enterprise. The mainland project will also include significant greenhouse and polytunnel cultivation. This next, more public-facing stage of Tanera life is a work in progress, and Blaker admits that they have not yet landed on the final model. “It’s fair to say that the island will probably remain more philanthropic,” he says, “but it may well be that if the hotel is full, someone who wants to stay there might find themselves in another mainland or island property.” Meanwhile, before the first paying guests arrive, the team are experimenting with using the Manse for community lunches, dinners and pop-up events – multifunctionality in action. Volunteering, already well established, will be a big part of Tanera’s future: Blaker envisages up to 40 people a day volunteering on the project, experiencing the Tanera way of life and helping to shape its future. The island, once a world unto itself, is opening up. He describes Tanera as “enveloping”, and it is. It is nurturing, warm and inclusive, but also dynamic, changing, industrious. There is no Local Hero sleepiness here. On a walk on my last day on the island, I meet Cookie, a builder and stonemason, working on the road. He stops to talk. One of the earliest workers here, he loves Tanera and has played a major part in rebuilding almost every structure. He tells me that the house I am staying in, Macleans, was built with a slight curve to its walls, to gently settle into the shape of the hillside. He also explains that during construction they found an old box from the 1800s, containing a poignant letter from an estranged daughter to her mother, and a charcoal drawing. Having been studied and photographed, the box was buried back in the walls – a message from the past to the future. The legacy of Tanera lives on. PORT FOLIO BY SAVI LLS 2026

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HAS ALWAYS INSPIRED ME. I like it when creativity speaks the same language in every little detail, from the landscape to the architecture, interiors, art and furniture. I love Norman Foster: he’s such a master with glass. And I like Kengo Kuma’s use of bamboo and geometry. WE SPEND 85% OF OUR TIME INDOORS, so I try to create joyful interiors, keeping in mind handmade, healthy materials, lighting and ergonomics. I design with wellness in mind. THE MORE YOU LOOK, THE MORE YOU SEE IN AN INTERIOR. It could be the same colour, for instance, but there are so many materialities you can express. I ENJOY USING CEILINGS AS CANVASES, so they become pieces of art. For a project in Switzerland, I commissioned an artist to create beautiful ceramic flowers, branches and leaves, in which we embedded tiny spotlights – really magical. I JUST ATTENDED the Kochi Muziris Biennale in South India, where Marina Abramović gave a lecture on performance art. I’d love to collect some of her photographic pieces. THERE’S A BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK BY BHARTI KHER in my home. It’s a collage of bindis in diﬀerent colours – worn by Indian women on the forehead, they symbolise the third eye.

HOUSE STYLE SHALINI MISRA Shalini Misra is an interior architect, entrepreneur and philanthropist with oﬃces in London, New York and Dubai. Her studio is renowned for residential projects that blend luxury, craft and cultural depth. Here she reveals her design influences and ethos

I LIVE BETWEEN London, New York and New Delhi, where we have a beautiful farmhouse constructed from all-Indian materials. The gardens, designed by the late Charles Jencks, have an amphitheatre where wild peacocks visit every evening.

I ESTABLISHED CURIO.SPACE, an e-commerce platform oﬀering furniture, lighting and design for the home, because I used to struggle as a designer to find a one-stop platform. Curio is about championing human creativity and handcrafts. MY PERSONAL STYLE IS joyous, relaxed, comfortable. I appreciate a sophisticated palette, but when I dress, I love to play with colour in a way that feels uplifting. STORY IS IMPORTANT TO ME, as is the human hand. I collect investment pieces, but what I consider to be of value is not about the price tag. HELENA BAJAJ LARSEN is a textile artist I really admire. She collaborates with craftspeople across the global south, and her work respects craft without straying into mimicry. You know a piece is hers as soon as you see it. shalinimisra.com

IN NEW YORK, my 38th-floor apartment feels like it’s floating in the sky. And in London, we’ve tried to celebrate British craftsmanship. I like to create the sense of a journey in my projects. And I try to keep the vernacular of a place in mind – what I do in New York, I don’t want to repeat in London or New Delhi.
