Lesli Saul's wealth of experience and knowledge has led to countless success stories and satisfied customers. One of the more exciting of these stories is LS&A's continued and growing partnership with high-end French furniture company, Roche Bobois. The esteemed French company has been collaborating with LS&A for over 16 years now. Leslie Saul took the time to explain this successful and exciting ongoing design partnership in further detail.

"LS&A architecture and interiors started working with the French furniture company, Roche Bobois, over 16 years ago in 2005. Since then, we have been the project architect for five stores for the creative, high-quality firm that is based in Paris. Our most recent store, the new location for Boston, in Back Bay, is almost complete. We can’t wait for the opening in the next few weeks. In the meantime, enjoy the photographs of the store in Natick, MA. This exciting store was designed in Paris and interpreted and developed by us.

"One of the great pleasures of working with Roche Bobois, besides the terrific Regional Director, Pierre Berardo, is that our residential clients can take advantage of our knowledge of the products, the salespeople, and the good-value pricing. I also love that the stores are projects that are open to the public, as opposed to our design work for private homes, which remain private (as they should). Retail design is fun and for the public! Bienvenue à tous!"

In 2009, Pierce purchased the Calabasas home at $6.5 million after winning an NBA title and Finals MVP honors with the Boston Celtics. The Mediterranean style estate, once owned by the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson and football icon Willie McGinest, was first listed on the market by Pierce last year at an asking price of $11 million. After failing to attract potential buyers, the price was lowered to $10 million earlier this year. However, the buyer of managed to reduce the cost even further at a final sale price of $8.7 million. Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman held the listing and David Watkins of Pinnacle Estate Properties represented the buyer.

Beyond the gates of the celebrity neighborhood known as The Estates at the Oaks, Pierce’s 16,100-square-foot salon colored compound is set on almost an acre of land. Featuring an attached guesthouse and primary suite with a terrace overlooking the outdoor space, the home includes a total of eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Through the dramatic entry of ivy and grand front doors, the space opens to a two-story foyer with a shimmering chandelier and spiral staircase. The interior layout includes formal dining room, casual dining area, living room, a professional chef’s kitchen, and grand glass walls offering a dazzling view of the city. The home’s entertainment options include a cinema room, bar, gym, billiard-room, bowling alley, and Boston themed basketball court.

As Paul Pierce bids farewell to his former Calabasas home, the newly sold property is ready for its next owner.

Located at 6800 Indian Creek Drive, Monaco Yacht Club & Residences is an exclusive enclave of thirty-nine luxurious waterfront residences and a private marina in collaboration with two of the most esteemed names in design, Piero Lissoni and Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica. It is slated for completion in Fall 2021.

HR: What was the design inspiration for Monaco Yacht Club & Residences’ interiors?

PL: In part, we were inspired by Mediterranean environments, particularly the Italian Riviera and the Côte d’Azur, and in part by the nautical world, especially by the Riva Aquarama boat. From the realization of the lobby floor as if it were the deck of a boat, to the choice of the chandelier that recalls a lobster net, to the nautical styling, everything is reminiscent of a yacht club.

HR: What colors and materials did you incorporate into the design in order to capture the South of France and the Mediterranean lifestyle?

PL: We were inspired by the nautical world of the 1950s. We used chrome, natural fabrics, soft and neutral colors with some dashes of stronger color. The Riva Aquarama is also renowned for this contrast between the wood and the light blue cushions. The reception desk is instead a deep-sea blue.

The apartments have two different typologies in terms of the “shades” employed. One version features soft and muted colors that are evocative of morning sea mists, with light, desaturated wood and some darker colors to provide contrast, while the second version features darker colors inspired by the night sea, the contrast here given by areas of white.

HR: Walk us through the design features that you are incorporating throughout MYC’s residences, including in the kitchen and bathrooms. What was the vision for the design, and what can residents expect to feel and see upon walking into their homes?

PL: We wanted to reproduce the feeling of being on a boat, both when entering on the ground floor, with the jetty that connects directly to the yachts, and also inside the apartments, with their magnificent views of the sea. The extensive use of large windows seeks to accentuate the relationship between the inside and the outside, as if you’re always living in the open air. In addition, the terraces are equipped with cooking facilities, further expanding the possibilities of life outdoors.

HR: How did you go about choosing each design and what makes them different from other residences you have designed for?

PL: Undoubtedly the floor in the reception, conceived as if it were the deck of luxury yacht, is fairly unique, as is the large chandelier reminiscent of a lobster net, which was the work of an artist we engaged. In the apartments themselves, there is this continuous dialogue between the inside and the outside, which is very special: as soon as you open the window, you have the whole expanse of the sea in front of you.

HR: Elaborate on your design of MYC’s lobby and “Resident’s Lounge” that features a library and breakfast bar for waterfront dining. How does the design reflect the building’s fun lifestyle and laid-back environment?

PL: Our aim was to realize a community, a true yacht club, so the communal spaces have been conceived with this in mind and to allow the whole structure and all the facilities to be used and lived, also by invited guests. The inhabitants and their guests can, for example, pause to read the newspaper or have a coffee in the communal areas. Also, here we wanted to bring a European way of living.

HR: Please briefly describe what role the Bayfront location played in the design of the project. How will the building’s design reflect Miami and its natural surroundings?

PL: The Bayfront relates directly with the structure. Features such as the floor or the model boats on the bookshelves, as if it were indeed a yacht club, are certainly elements that are special with respect to other residences.

HR: What type of lifestyle do you envision for residents at MYC?  What type of buyer do you envision will be interested in living at the property?

PL: Without a doubt, Monaco Yacht Club & Residences will attract buyers who love traveling and who are attracted by a European atmosphere, especially that of the Mediterranean, who like the leisurely feeling of a place where you have the sensation of being on holiday all year round.

HR: Tell us about your collaboration with Arquitectonica. How did you work with Arquitectonica to blend your ways of thinking, expertise and experiences together?

PL: There’s a very close relationship between the inside and the outside: in some ways the interior completes the architecture, and vice-versa.

HR: What is special or different about working on a project like MYC?

PL: The really special thing was to have been able to bring to America a particular area of Europe and its atmosphere.

The post How To Start A Career In Real Estate? The Experts Weigh In! appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

We sat down with Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founding principal of the award-winning international architecture firm, Arquitectonica, to learn more about his design inspiration for the nautically-themed, boutique Bayfront condominium.

Bernardo Fort-Brescia, FAIA, Arquitectonica

At just 12 stories, how did the boutique nature of Monaco Yacht Club & Residences inspire your design?

The scale of the building lends itself to a more exclusive and private living experience. It allowed us to offer discreet arrival to the units, fewer residents per floor, and proximity to the water.

Did it present any unique challenges or opportunities?

The challenge is always how to ensure all units face the water. That is the greatest asset south Florida offers. The broad frontage and favorable ratio of width to depth of the site allow the building to be situated parallel to the water's edge that provides an opportunity for increased sightlines of the dramatic widening of the Intracoastal Waterway offering expansive views of a lagoon-like setting.

From vision and concept, can you describe your design process from the beginning?

We begin always seeking the perfect layouts. We think of the eventual user and the lifestyle expected of an urban resort like Miami Beach. If I had to define the feel it is best described as relaxed luxury. Another aspect is the connection with nature the spaces needed to flow to the terraces. Because of the amazing weather in Florida, exterior living is an important part of the living experience. Outdoor living is key to relaxed luxury.

What was your design aesthetic for Monaco Yacht Club & Residences?

We thought the architecture had to have a nautical feeling. We wanted the residents to feel that they were on a luxury yacht because due to the proximity to the water one may not see land from an interior vantage point. Therefore, the idea of a yacht club emerged.

Where did you draw your design inspiration from?

I have always liked the coastal towns of the Italian Riviera and the sleek romantic designs of the yachts cruising the waterways. Yacht design has an aerodynamic aspect combined with warmth and elegance. This led us to combine white sweeping lines and warm tones that are reminiscent of the finest Italian yachts.

How did you adapt your design philosophy to the project?

Every project is unique to its place, purpose and scale. This project is unique and its low-slung proportions, fluid horizontal lines, soft curved geometries resulted in a design fitting to the time and place. It still falls within our brand of waterfront modernity, but with a twist that makes it fitting for the personality of the program and place.

Now let’s talk about the role that Monaco Yacht Club & Residences’ location in Miami Beach’s coveted MiMo District played on the building design.

How will the building’s design reflect Miami and North Beach?

Miami Beach is a 20th-century resort. Its architecture is decidedly modern and referential to the principles of the early modern masters. Many of its buildings are also inspired in naval architecture and this building continues that tradition, but in a more contemporary way, with more glass, larger terraces, and more organic fluidity of its curves rather than more traditional rigid geometries.

Are there any design features unique to Miami that were incorporated?

The outdoors identifies Miami’s brand. This building takes that branding seriously by using the roof as a pool deck. That ensures exposure to the sun, the ocean breezes, and long-distance views from a very special vantage point. There is nothing more romantic than panoramic sunset views of the intercoastal and downtown Miami beyond.

How does the architecture reflect the building’s natural surroundings and blend of the outdoors with the interior living?

One of the important aspects of the design is the amount of glass between the living areas and terraces. The indoor-outdoor feeling is key to tropical Florida living, more so if that feeling flows beyond the habitable spaces, into the water and the horizon.

How did the building’s Bayfront location on one of the area’s last remaining waterfront parcels inspire the design?       

Life on the water is both calming and invigorating. The opportunity to design on the water’s edge is always an inspiration for any project. There is an abundance of water activity with marinas along the seawalls and docks on both sides of the lagoon. The early morning rowers from the nearby rowing club crews add charm and dynamism to the project.

Explain how you incorporated the private marina into the project design. How did this amenity influence the overall property design?

The marina is integral to the design idea of the project and is part of the overall composition. The nautical design of the building continues into the actual naval architecture of the moored yachts in the marina along the waterfront of the site allowing the building and the yachts to coexist harmoniously.

Let’s discuss your method for working alongside an interior designer, such as Italian master architect Piero Lissoni on this project. How do your design philosophies complement each other? What do you think the end result will reflect?

We have worked with Piero before. We understand each other. We are both modernists, believers in the power of forms, of geometric purity, of the richness of materials within the boundaries of sophistication. Piero is the ultimate artist when it comes to interior design, his designs work well with our architecture. He blurs the boundaries between architecture and interior design so they appear seamless.

What is special or different about working on a project like MYC? What did you learn?

The beauty of this project is its human scale. Seldom in Miami Beach are there sites with this sense of an enclave for few residents who appreciate clean architectural lines and calm elegant interiors in a one-of-a-kind waterfront setting within the ultimate tropical global city that is Miami Beach.

Maggie Gold Seelig presents

The post Maggie Gold Seelig Presents A Beacon Hill Residence In Boston appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The conversation was moderated by Craig Hogan, Vice President of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, and featured four of Coldwell Banker's best-known agents from around the world of luxury real estate market: Vanda Demeure (Paris, France), Jade Mills (Beverly Hills, CA), Ricardo Rodriguez (Boston, MA), and Wendy Walker (Scottsdale, AZ). Watch the full webinar below.

Each of the speakers is an expert agent in their respective markets and consistently ranked among the top producers in the company. They provided remarks on the "new normal" approach in real estate, their markets, the industry overall, and expanded on each other's points of view in the engaging and upbeat conversation.

"As a company, we are not seeing the drops people are talking about; we are seeing a strong climate," said Hogan. With a clear knowledge of all panelists' luxury markets and their success in each, Hogan kept the dialogue seamlessly flowing from one area of the world to another. "Getting back to where we need to be, each of them (the panelists) have something wonderful to share," he continued. "Those that are at the top of the game are working harder than ever. They are smarter than ever, and improving on their skills set."

Center: Craig Hogan, Jade Mills, Vanda Demeure. Bottom: Ricardo Rodriguez, Wendy Walker

Highlight quotes:

Vanda Demeure: "In times of lockdown, we try to be close to our clients and adapt to the situation. I closed two deals from a distance, so it's something really interesting because no one came to see the property (in person)... (The business) can work from a distance... Everyone wants space outside, a house or a villa, with quick and easy access to Paris... It's very important to understand that (homeowners) want to have more than just a place to sleep. They want a home. This is a good change. We find them a good place to move and sell their apartments (in Paris)... After the lockdown, we are putting distance in the office. We have special streaks on the floor so people can stand at a distance. Sellers or buyers come to the office but we do not shake hands. The business has changed, so now we adapt to work from a distance. We can now market by video, so it's very easy. We are (acquiring) new technologies to be more helpful and save time for our clients... 

Jade Mills: "It has been about nine days (since reopening) and it has been crazy, for which I'm very thankful. We are in escrow on (a property) for $15 million; we have another offer coming in today; and we are in escrow on another one for $14.250 (million) in Bel-Air... Clients have been on our websites. It is really, truly picking up... This is the time that you push hard, connect with your contacts. This is when you should be studying the market, knowing the inventory, and going after listings... I have learned that my buyers are buying what they really want. What I've been advising people now is to step up a little bit and get something that they really want. You don't have to have the best deal for your own home, where you will spend your time with your family. If clients are worried about paying a little bit more to have something that you want, they should go for it... People want a place where they can have the whole family together; a space where people can be for one or two months (at a time)."

Ricardo Rodriguez: "Even though we had restrictions on group size, we were still able to operate during the stay-at-home. I have never been busier. We did not have downtime; we retooled immediately... For me and my business, it has been an exercise in adaptation, paying attention to what's happening next, and shifting and working through it... Luxury is experiential, not about a price point. How you operate should not differentiate between price points. Across all areas, luxury operates as a craft. Consumers are going to look for practitioners that have the best craft... Our personal relationship is what makes the difference. Seeing people, even through a computer screen, is still very valuable... People have to buy and sell. Show your craft and what you can do... The personal relationship is what matters, articulating who you are. All the tools are great, but they are exactly that: tools... Most of the conversations have been around using technologies that have intuitive integration: touchless, voice-activated systems... 

Wendy Walker: "Forbes names Scottsdale the #1 place in the United States to quarantine. Our real estate industry as a whole is and always has been considered essential... People are coming from the hotbeds (of the pandemic) like New York, California, from San Francisco to San Diego, Chicago, and Seattle that look at Scottsdale as an alternative... As a team, we sat down and said 'what can we do to serve our clients better?'... We are hands-on;  First, check in to make sure everyone is ok. We are in the real estate business, so the conversation goes back to that. We began to adapt our way of communicating and what we were communicating, really showing our genuineness and who we are. We heard over and over, especially from folks that were in lockdown, that they had a yearning for real estate. They were looking at houses online and really wanted interaction with the agent. So we did tours differently. We evolved, and people responded... Buyers are requesting home theaters, home gyms, and outside space... The market has not stopped. People want to move, especially in the luxury market."

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Sandra Diaz: "We love to learn, so we are eager to evolve in terms of more virtual communications with our clients, which we have been doing for some years now for those that don't live here in Miami. The clients love the 3-D experience... It's our job to do the due diligence of what new technologies there are... For smaller places in condo buildings, there is the challenge to take advantage of every inch to make it look amazing and spacious... People are focusing more attention on how to position spaces to be more multi-purpose, from a home office to a family room and gym or meditation area... Lighting and technology integration is going to be more carefully thought (on current and future trends)... On the wellness movement, we are trying to bring more greenery into spaces. There are more systems now for homes that are integrating UV lighting."

Julie Shvedyuk: "People are beginning to focus on the spaces that they spent the most time: kitchens, garages, family rooms, and of course, closets. They are using the spaces, seeing what is missing and seeing how to utilize them more efficiently with storage ... We are about 90% capacity reopened. The only hold that we are experiencing is getting into buildings or customers that are not comfortable with installers coming in, but for the most part it's the buildings opening up... In our industry, and Miami in particular, our circles are small and we are inter-connected. My favorite part is networking with trade professionals. You meet people randomly. Having the ability to make people's lives simpler and easier is such a plus... The virtual consultations are here to stay... Our showroom is open by appointment, but we still encourage people to come and look at (the inventory). It does make all the difference when you see our products in person and not so much what you think of before."

To be delivered fully-finished when it is completed in late 2021, world-renowned Italian interior designer Piero Lissoni meticulously curated each of the modern unit interiors with precise attention to detail, inclusive of the refined Italian-made fixtures and finishes, with European custom wood flooring. Lissoni employed a palette of warm whites and rich woods for the lobby and the premier “Resident’s Lounge” -- featuring a library and breakfast bar for leisurely waterfront dining -- that evokes a timeless, classic mood reminiscent of a luxurious Côte d’Azur summer resort and responds to the building’s program of luxury living, fun lifestyle, laid-back environment, and relaxed atmosphere.

Fenway Center, a 1.1-million-square-foot luxury development broke ground on January 30 near Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox.

“We are very pleased that this important project for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the city of Boston will finally be realized,” Kelly Saito, a managing partner at developer Gerding Edlen, told real estate website Nerej. “Fenway Center’s phenomenal location, the vibrancy of the surrounding neighborhood and the continued demand for housing in the Boston market make this a great time to start construction.”

When finished, the $600-million mixed-use property will combine 5 new buildings, including a 27-story tower above the Massachusetts Turnpike, 160,000 square feet of office space, 50,000 square feet of retail space, 30,000 square feet of green space, 1,290 parking spaces, a community space, daycare center, bicycle storage, and a bike-share station.

Fenway Center is designed to be a model for smart growth, transit and sustainable energy-oriented development, according to the project’s website. The property will be adjacent to the Yawkey Commuter Rail Station, one block from Kenmore Square and the Fenway Green Line Stations. A proposed solar power plant on side would generate a significant portion of the project’s electricity and all of the power needs of the Yawkey Commuter Rail Station.

Along with Gerding Edlen, the property is being developed by Meredith Management and TH Real Estate. The groundbreaking marks the realization of a proposal held back by delays and revisions since 2002.

“I had my moments when I wasn’t quite sure this day would come,” John Rosenthal, president of Meredith Management, told the Boston Globe. “This has been a 15-year journey to get to this point.”

Phase 1 of the project is set to be completed in 2020. It will comprise two residential apartment buildings with 312 units, 37,000 square feet of retail space and 200 underground parking spaces.

Once you have a listing, how do you prepare a marketing plan specific to that property?

I look at the demographic of who the buyer would be and complete a mailing campaign targeted at those buyers, then all of my social media comes into play.

What media channels do you find work best, and why do you think they work? (Print, online, direct selling, word of mouth)

On-line social media seems to bring a lot of attention to listings. On line Realtor.com, Trulia and Zillow are huge in my market place.

What advice or assistance do you offer your clients when it comes to staging their property for potential buyers?

When it comes to presenting their property online, pictures are the greatest draw. It's what catches potential buyers' attention and gets them involved enough to learn more about the property.

When it is time to showcase the home, how do you decide to have an open house, or to show the property by appointment only?

Mostly Brokers Open house and one or two public open houses to see if the buyer is out there, but I won’t do too many because it will over expose the home
