Nov 3, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich When a luxury hotel is compared to French legend Serge Gainsbourg, you expect something a little sexy and risqué, and that is exactly what designer Vincent Darré promises for the new Hôtel Montana. Found in Paris, the hotel takes over the seven floors above the popular jazz club La Montana, which has been a staple for Parisian artists and heavyweights since the 1950s. ... Read More |
Nov 3, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich There is always a new hotspot when it comes to luxury real estate and while San Francisco continues to rise, it may not be where the hip kids go in the future. According to real estate whiz Roh Habibi, Oakland is actually the new Brooklyn and several big tech companies are moving in, which is bringing in thousands of jobs. The influx of buyers is changing Oakland’s less-than-stellar reputation, turning it into a serious up-and-coming area for millennials. Take this stunning estate at 13383 Campus Dr., for instance. ...

Oct 27, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich Living up high with the trees is a dream for many, especially when that home faces the ocean and was designed specifically for you. When the Gooden-Nahome family wanted to make that dream a reality on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, they looked to Benjamin Garcia Saxe. Even though the site proved challenging, since it is on a steep slope and the water can only truly be seen from the mid-upper area, the architect made it work. The finished project is called Casa Flotanta and is a stunning treehouse-like structure that relies on posts to give the impression of floating. ... Read More |

Oct 9, 2015 | Contributor: JustLuxe Team When it comes to real estate, size doesn’t always dictate luxury—after all, the old adage “location, location, location,” still rings true in most cases. Yes, you could live in a sprawling property out in Kansas, or you can scale back on your belongings and have an amazing view of Central Park or Miami Beach. The same sizing concept is true for real estate firms too, especially when the location is already aces. ... Read More |

Sep 25, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich With the release of the Dyson Pure Cool air purifier, Dyson has basically made their standard tower fan into the iPhone 5 of the family—sure, you serve a purpose and still look good, but your siblings just do it so much better. Not only does the bladeless Pure Cool blast out air from its vertical oblong design, it promises to remove 99.95 percent of the nastiness in your air—even particles as small as .1 microns. ...

Sep 10, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich The Taghkanic House looks like a modern art museum set in the middle of rolling hills that could easily be the setting of a Jane Austen novel.

Sep 7, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich The drive from San Diego to The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona includes some major temperature spikes and terrain changes—you get rocky mountains, unforgiving deserts (including one that doubled for Star Wars’ Tatooine), and miles and miles of Saguaro cacti. Though the thermostat may jump from to a suffocating 115 degrees by the time you hit Yuma, it’s alright because Marana seems to be at least 15 degrees cooler than its neighboring towns and cities. ...

Aug 26, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich As lovely as custom furnishings and imported tile work are, one should never forget the ceiling. You may not want something as dramatic as The Creation of Adam greeting you when you look up, but what about some flashy gold leaf? This $1.1 million Fontainebleau Mansion in New Orleans is bringing some serious attitude to the real estate market with its blinged-out gold ceiling—which, of course, anchors a chandelier. ...

Aug 25, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich For $17.8 million, you can pretty much start your very own community by purchasing the three-acre Little Hawkins Island in Sea Island, Georgia. The homes were built by previous owner Del Masters (a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur), who wanted his own private resort to relax with his friends and family. Overall, from planning to interior decorating, the property took seven years to complete and includes four buildings: The Residence, two guest cottages and The Club (which includes a gym and a club room with a bar). ...

Feb 20, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich | 1 Comment New York-based Campion Platt has done everything, from designing homes and boutique hotels to his own line of custom furniture, but no matter what the project is, Platt always has luxury on his mind. To him, luxury isn't about the flashiest bejeweled furniture accents or the dollar tag on that new Persian rug, it’s about open spaces you can breathe and relax in. It may seem simple enough, but making a Manhattan home into a light and airy space isn't that easy. Platt was kind enough to take some time to chat with us about how he defines luxury, his own personal style, and the craziest client request he's gotten so far. ... Read More |
Aug 19, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich Portugal-based furniture company Jetclass is bringing some serious sex appeal into the bedroom with their new Lust Collection, which certainly wouldn’t look out of place in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey sequel.
