First, broadcasting live from the Aston Martin Residences sales center, Haute Living’s Deyvanshi Masrani started "Kitchen Encounters" by hosting a panel with three of Miami’s top design and architecture experts Katie Gutierrez, Natalia Neverko, and Sandra Diaz-Velasco, each of them providing tips on the best ways to make use of one’s kitchen, as well as what makes the design of the Aston Martin Residences Kitchen special. Mariana Lima, in-house Broker Associate at Aston Martin Residences, also joined the panel, with an Aston Martin Vulcan behind her. The car, valued at $3.2 million, will be a gift for the buyer of the triple penthouse at Aston Martin Residences.

Immediately after, Gavin Rossdale, international rock star as the frontman of the British group Bush and cooking aficionado, shared a live cooking demonstration, hosted by Haute Living’s Laura Schreffler. Bush recently released their latest album, The Kingdom, on which Rossdale told a few stories of how it came together and streamed performances the band has done this year. During his live demonstration, he said, "If you put love, care, and attention to every ingredient, you really elevate it." Click here to watch and read more about his performance during “Kitchen Encounters."

Highlight quotes from the panelists:

Katie Gutierrez: "A home is put to the test in terms of functionality, storage, usability and layout in kitchens and bathrooms. The Aston Martin Residences kitchen is a great model of what it would look like to have everything working and look beautiful at the same time."

Natalia Neverko: “I absolutely love the design of the Aston Martin Residences kitchen. The way it's designed, its color combination, the white and gray, is my favorite. It’s done with the latest technologies so there’s no question about it. I love the minimalistic look."

Mariana Lima: "Aston Martin Residences is eight minutes walking from Brickell City Centre, two minutes from Whole Foods and Zuma. You have the whole lifestyle around you, but also the peace of the water, overlooking Key Biscayne. It's really the most connected area in town."

Sandra Diaz-Velasco: "This [building] is a testament to the Aston Martin brand. The kitchen is the heart of the home, but everything has to be related to the architecture. I like how it integrates the interior and exterior; that's what a dwelling has to have."

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."

The luxurious ambiance inadvertently reminded of the star of the event – Paramount Miami Worldcenter, which is set to open in 2019, bringing an unprecedented level of luxury to the Magic City. The completed residential tower, clothed in shimmering glass, will rise some 60 floors high and offer a raft of amenities – from a spa to an indoor sports center to an observatory – that rarely come together under a single roof.
