Coco Chanel’s Summer Home On The French Riviera Is On Sale For $50 Million.

VILLA LA PAUSA

The famed architect Robert Streitz designed the residence for Mademoiselle Chanel and the Duke of Westminster.

It was Chanel’s house, close to the Italian border and set in 5 acres of gardens, from 1929 to 1953 (until the Duke’s death), when it was bought by the wealthy Emery and Wendy Reves.

Zaha Hadid

Over the past 30 years, revolutionary architect Zaha Hadid has become internationally renowned for her designs of sensuous, soaring buildings that push the limits of innovation and blur the lines between art and architecture. Today, Hadid stands among history’s most celebrated architects and is the first woman to have achieved such recognition in the field. She has been awarded the Pritzker Prize in Architecture (2004), the Stirling Prize (2010, 2011), and was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her services to architecture (2002). Beyond the world of architecture, Hadid has collaborated with iconic luxury brands, including Chanel, Donna Karan, and B&B Italia. She was named one of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women” by Forbes, and one of “100 People Who Most Affect Our World” by TIME.

One Thousand Museum will be Zaha Hadid’s first residential skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere.

ONE THOUSAND MUSEUM by Zaha Hadid

1000 BISCAYNE BOULEVARD MIAMI FLORIDA Half- and Full-Floor Residences From $4,000,000 to $12,000,000.

Once completed, One Thousand Museum will be one of the most spectacular residential developments in the world. It will be rivaled only by the likes of One Hyde Park in London and One57 in New York City.

Miami’s most prestigious new residential tower will be an unprecedented fusion of art, architecture and design.
Internationally acclaimed architect, Zaha Hadid, has been commissioned to design the 62-story, ultra-luxury high-rise. One Thousand Museum will have only 83 total units and will be the only residential tower in Florida which will feature a helicopter pad on its rooftop. Private security concierges will also be assigned to the units at One Thousand Museum.

Downtown Miami provides an exhilarating cityscape for people always on the go. With exciting nearby commercial districts and choice areas for rest and relaxation, nothing is more suited as the home of One Thousand Museum.

As a central business district of Miami, downtown Miami provides easy access to office areas as well as a slew of art centers, company headquarters, government offices, banks, parks and education centers. Art-loving residents of One Thousand Museum will be treated to immediate access to several cultural hotspots within the area, including the Miami Art Museum and the Wagner Home. The Miami Main Library also offers a prime location for those whose affinity for reading and books cannot be easily satiated. Theatres, like the Miami City Ballet, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, are also situated nearby One Thousand Museum to provide its residents with exciting alternatives to spend their stress-free days. With more than enough activities to occupy its denizens, downtown Miami certainly serves as a worthy home for One Thousand Museum.

The World or World Islands is an artificial archipelago of various small islands constructed in the rough shape of a world map, located 4.0 kilometres (2.5 mi) off the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The World islands are composed mainly of sand dredged from Dubai’s shallow coastal waters, and are one of several artificial island developments in Dubai.

The World’s developer is Nakheel Properties, and the project was originally conceived by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.

The project was unveiled in May 2003 by Sheikh Mohammed and dredging began four months later in September 2003.

By January 2008, 60% of the islands were sold, 20 of which were bought in the first four months of 2007.

On 10 January 2008 the final stone on the breakwater was laid, completing development of the archipelago.

January 2010: On 28 January 2010 Emirates Business reported that Major Trade have started development of their projects on an island in the Greenland area, a villa and hotel resort.

23 February 2010: Dubai-based Kleindienst Group starts work on the Germany island of The World, according to a press release on 24 February 2010.

I See beauty everywhere I go!

Maintaining Highclere Castle has been a difficult challenge for Lord Carnarvon, who is the head of the Herbert family. When he succeeded, he inherited about 8,000 acres. Some he sold to pay inheritance taxes, and since then he has made over the remainder to his son, Lord Porchester, and his grandson—but kept for himself the castle and his stud farm, amounting to about 600 acres. There are nine different entrances to this domain, which has a circumference of 16 miles, with three lakes on the grounds, and 56 Cedars of Lebanon, planted a good bit over three centuries ago.

Pictures have had to be sold, family silver and a fine pearl necklace also, and over the years, some of the outlying parts of the estate. But Lord Carnarvon was determined not to sell the family seat, and the status quo is preserved. The red-and-blue flag still waves valiantly and proudly from the tower over the castle.

In spite of the upkeep, life here has always been enjoyed in great style. Much attention is paid to detail. For example, when Lord Carnarvon gave a ball for a thousand guests in the 1950s, he wanted the house to be perfect. So the crenellations around the tower, which were falling apart, were reconstructed for the occasion in hardboard, and then floodlighted.

Lord Carnarvon lives at Highclere with a staff of seven. He is now 80, and remembers well his childhood in this house that has been in the family since the 18th century. When he was a small boy, there was a basic resident staff of 23—including a maid whose life was spent concocting preserves.
Lord Carnarvon went into the army when he was 18, and was posted to India with the Seventh Hussars. The problems of inheritance taxes were devastating, yet he managed to invest a considerable sum in modernization of the castle. The time of the lamplighter, who had orders to fill 150 lamps, came finally to an end.

Highclere has a long history. In the days of Edward VI, the Crown took possession of the manor on the site and granted it to another noble family. Over the generations it changed hands, eventually passing into the possession of the Herberts. At the end of the eighteenth century Henry Herbert was created first earl of Carnarvon.

From then on, major construction was done: making a park and lakes and rebuilding follies. Later, enormous plantings of azaleas and rhododendrons were made, and then the third earl altered Highclere Castle to the condition it is in now. He turned the place from house to castle with the assistance of Victorian architect Sir Charles Barry. In the custom of the time, the designs were molded along the Gothic lines of the Houses of Parliament.

ABOUT PORSCHE DESIGN TOWER

High end automobile brands and real estate haven’t really had the most frequent of partnerships, without a few exceptions like the Jaguar Suite at the London Taj Hotel. But Porsche Design Studio, who has been an active entity carrying forward the expertise and aesthetics of the auto brand, has now tied up with Dezer Properties to create a 57-storey ultra-luxury tower in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Amongst other features of the tower, it will enable the owners to drive up their luxury vehicles in a sky-lift, meant exclusively to transport them to their apartments.
With a total of 132 units, the Porsche Design residential tower will have 3 unique drive-in lifts, platform lifts, which will allow owners drive their vehicles into them. Using sensor and controls, these lifts/platforms will then take the owners and their cars to the respective floors and individual apartments, all of which have been allotted separate parking garages. This will ensure a smooth access between the residential premises and parking spaces, without being an obstacle to any other resident around.

The $560 million tower will rise in Sunny Isles Beach as part of a collaboration between Germany-based Porsche Design Group developer and a local developer. It’s the world’s first condominium complex with elevators that take residents directly to their units while they are sitting in their cars.

Pull over into the designated space. Turn off the engine. And enjoy the oceanfront view as you escalate in a glass elevator that takes you, while you are sitting in your car, to the front door of your apartment. You don’t have to leave your car until you are in front of your apartment. After the resident pulls over and switches off the engine, a robotic arm that works much like an automatic plank will scoop up the car and put it into the elevator. Once at the desired floor, the same robotic arm will park the car, leaving the resident nearly in front of his front door. The glass elevators will give residents and their guests unparalleled views of the city or of the ocean during their high-speed ride, expected to last 45 to 90 seconds.

The building, Porsche Design Tower, was approved by the Sunny Isles Beach City Commission.

The cylindrical building will be erected on 2.2 acres of land at 18555 Collins Avenue. The 57-story luxury tower will have 132 units. Smaller units will be allocated two parking spaces and larger ones will have four, with 284 robotic parking spaces in total. There will be three elevators. Residents will be able to see their cars from their living rooms. Owners with fast cars and antiques will have a view of them.
Units will range from 3,800 to 9,500 square feet and could cost up to $9 million.
