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!"

“A Florida seaside setting as incredible as Hollywood coupled with the architecturally mesmerizing QUINT Collection, this project epitomizes the lifestyle buyers seek when they look to South Florida,” says Jesús Quintero, CEO and Founder of JQ Group of Companies. “QUINT Collection Hollywood is redefining luxury living and we are confident that Lourdes and Miguel’s strong client relations throughout the Northeast and in various international markets will award us a rapid sell-out.”

"I think QUINT is one of the best-kept secrets," adds Alatriste, member of the Haute Residence Network. "I feel it hasn't been exposed to its full potential - especially given what buyers are currently looking for [in the market]. Having a boutique development that offers dockage of this size and the beach steps away is priceless. I am certain this project will appeal to a broad range of buyers and am excited to be representing it."

Comprised of 10 exquisitely designed townhomes, with a unit sold in December 2020 for $2,495,000 by Douglas Elliman agent Craig Chassen, QUINT Collection Hollywood has nine units remaining. With construction now complete, residents have the opportunity to move in immediately. Townhomes at QUINT Collection feature 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathroom units priced from $2,624,000 to $3,050,000.

The townhomes offer 10-foot high ceilings with floor plans ranging in size from 3,100-3,500 square feet, with terraces up to 10 feet deep and a private 2-car garage. Custom finishes include Italkraft and Gaggenau appliances, porcelain floors, a glass-enclosed elevator, and more. Five-story residences feature a sky deck with a summer kitchen, jacuzzi, and entertainment area. A residents-only marina includes 12 slips ranging between 55-80 feet with permitting ready-to-install lift if desired.

This latest sale at QUINT is in line with the continuing migration that South Florida has experienced, particularly from residents of the US Northeast looking to purchase a second home or completely settling down in the sunny climate year-round, plus the tax benefits that come with living in Florida, and the benefit that these units are ready to welcome their new owners.

Says real estate owner and developer Jesús Quintero of JQ Group, the developing group behind QUINT, "As a developer, I am very proud to present a project like QUINT Collection that is ready to move in; each unit comes fully equipped to be occupied, with features including a kitchen with new generation appliances, high quality floors throughout unit, direct and indirect lights in all areas including terraces and all bathrooms with mirrors and accessories. QUINT Collection offers an ideal solution for the new lifestyle after the pandemic. Private residences, surrounded by a natural environment and completely finished to be occupied immediately, are some of the benefits that QUINT Collection offers to its potential buyers.”

Strategically sited on North Ocean Drive, QUINT Collection Hollywood enjoys an ideal location reflecting the privacy and exclusivity that the brand seeks for its residents. It is just 16 miles from Miami and in close proximity to the Fort Lauderdale International Airport as well as Port Everglades, from which boats have ocean access only five miles away. With a natural reserve area facing the private marina, unobstructed ocean views will forever be a part of the setting at QUINT Collection Hollywood.

With modern living at the forefront, each unit comes with a fully enclosed two-car garage on the first floor, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room, a private rooftop and an elevator with clear walls.

As part of the project’s inspirational design elements will be spaces for entertainment and leisure within each unit.

French-Moroccan interior designer Rita Chraibi of International Designers, Julien Bigan, Director of Roche Bobois, and Nicole Fuller of the international interior design firm Nicole Fuller Interiors were hosted by Haute Living's April Donelson. The topics talked about included some of their projects and collaborations, as well as the experiences they had individually and professionally as the COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on the industry.

Watch the webinar below.

Highlight quotes from the webinar:

Rita Chraibi: "The future of interior design is the future of architecture and development... I love to tell a story for a project; it's very important for me. I do not like to talk about style or about trends. It's a very particular relationship between me and a project. I try to understand and listen to a space."

Julien Bigan: "It's very interesting for me to see the complete look of a home [decorated] with Roche Bobois done by a designer because this is where the true essence of Roche Bobois [comes out] in terms of creativity, innovation, and quality. You can really see those values there. It's a journey for us to do that, and the results are very spectacular."

Nicole Fuller: "Design is always going to be based on beauty and what the client wants, whether commercial or residential. Today, it's even more exciting. We've been pressed to think of it in a different way. We want to think ahead for our clients... If people need to budget for something, I think a lot more of that is going into everyone's space."

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Dan Conn: "This market dropped harder and faster than any market that I can recall, and it has rebounded quicker than any time I can recall... More people in the luxury end are focused on having another home. I think that's a permanent change... If you're into the New York life, you're in the New York Life. You don't leave it... We're not just focused on global real estate. We are focused on luxury goods and the sale of the greatest art objects in the world...

Sue Nickason: "What's interesting is the interest and the inquiries that we're getting from new markets. So obviously Hong Kong, mainland China, India, some parts of Latin America that, historically, [from which] we hadn't received a lot of interest. Those inquiries are coming through trusted advisors, such as private client lawyers, accountants, and affiliates and agents in other jurisdictions. It comes back to globally mobile affluent individuals looking to future proof in terms of residency and in terms of having a place of safe refuge such as the Cayman Islands."

Nancy Almodovar: "Christie's International Real Estate [has] been such a great resource not just on educating myself and my team on what it is to offer not only luxury properties but also luxury service. That has been great, and then being able to connect with so many of our affiliates all around the world, and be able to service our clients when they're looking to move to those parts of the world."

Sonja Cullaro: "We have seen an influx of buyers and renters from New York City into our markets across northern New Jersey and Westchester and the Hudson Valley. It started more for short-term rentals and then it quickly morphed into buyer interest. We have seen people looking for both primary and secondary residences. When they're looking for secondary residences, it's always with an eye on the school system and the fact that the secondary residence may become a primary residence in the future.

Alex Jansen: "The Aspen market came back with a vengeance. Aspen has seen at least 100% uptick as far as under-contracts right now compared to the same time last year because there was this big lag. In April and May, the closings were very anemic, but we're seeing lots of very large properties go under contract north of $10 million, and some north of $20 million in that market. In Clearwater, the month of July is slated to be the best month on record based on volume for the Tampa Bay Area.

Brian Meier: "Since the reopening of New York City, we've been very busy. We have not seen prices drop dramatically. There have been some adjustments. It's going to need a little more time to tell where it's going to shake out, but the people who are leaving Manhattan, most of them are putting their properties on the market for rent. We have had a very slight increase in the saturation on the sales side, but we do have a lot of demand."

The works will be auctioned off following the exhibition and the proceeds will be donated to the Joana Vasconcelos Foundation, whose mission is to support those who make art their life’s journey.

"Everyday life is my main source of inspiration. My works are conceived from elements, from everyday materials. As a woman and Portuguese, the know-how and materials specific to my culture are essential: the azulejos that dress both the interiors and exteriors of our buildings or the crocheted doilies that are present in all Portuguese interiors, which cover sofas, tables, or televisions. For me, this collection in collaboration with Roche Bobois represents the perfect alliance between Art, Design and Life," Joana Vasconcelos, said about the collection.

Artist Joana Vasconcelos lives and works in Lisbon and has exhibited regularly since the mid-1990s. Her work became known internationally after her participation in the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005, with the work A Noiva [The Bride] (2001-05). She was the first woman and the youngest artist to exhibit at the Palace of Versailles, in 2012. Recent highlights of her career include a solo exhibition at Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the project Trafaria Praia, for the Pavilion of Portugal at the 55th Venice Biennale; the participation in the group exhibition The World Belongs to You at the Palazzo Grassi/François Pinault Foundation, Venice (2011); and her first retrospective, held at the Museu Coleção Berardo, Lisbon (2010).
