In the book
As in every issue, columnists from different luxury sectors share their expertise and the careful consideration involved in what they do. Architect Stuart Rough of Broadway Malyan considers how context dictates design in authentic architecture; Joa Studholme of Farrow & Ball explores the art of unconventional paint choices; Four Seasons resort manager Eduardo Sampere writes about the rise of luxury resorts fostering an immersive environment; and Chef Sarah Thompson of Casa Playa considers the role of friends and family in her cooking journey. Featured properties highlight the ways in which homes are intrinsically linked to time and place. For example, a former heiress's art deco penthouse dazzles with 360-degree views of San Francisco, while a villa on the French Riviera basks in all of its glory alongside historic properties such as King Leopold II of Belgium’s former home. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, an eco-friendly abode marries architecture with nature and a tiny island in New Zealand boasts a picturesque property that allows residents the ultimate gift of connection with the opportunity to swim with dolphins.
