Jan 14, 2016 | Contributor: Mila PantovichPritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano is inarguably one of the greatest living architects, with tons of awards and accolades to his name. “The beauty of his designs stems from his stubborn insistence that the placement of a column or a window, when done with enough patience and care, brings us a step closer to a more enlightened society,” wrote The New York Times in 2009. Basically, we pay attention when his name is attached to a project, which is why we can’t wait to see the upcoming Eighty Seven Park in Miami. ... Read More |

Dec 11, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichIf there’s one thing we thought after watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, it was, “I need a hobbit house.” Aside from tricking an architect to design one for you or trying to sneak your way onto the movie set in New Zealand with your suitcases, it seemed like a pipe dream. That is until Green Magic Homes creeped up on our radar. ... Read More | 
Nov 3, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichWhen 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 PantovichThere 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 PantovichLiving 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 21, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichIconic fashion designer Pierre Cardin has put Le Palais Bulles (Bubble Palace) on the market for a rumored $455 million and yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds. With its own 500-seat amphitheater and an obvious dislike for right angles, the 13,000-square-foot property is an epic ode to art and design. ... Read More | 
Sep 22, 2015 | Contributor: Karin GageGone are the days of mountain rustic grandeur with dark rooms, heavy beams and taxidermy galore. The new world of log cabin-esque contemporary architecture embraces natural materials and boasts lots of light with plenty of indoor-outdoor living. Technology advancements, energy performance and building make it possible (and even easy) to utilize bigger windows and large, open floorplans. ... Read More | 
Sep 10, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThe 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. The $5.9 million contemporary estate is actually in New York’s Hudson Valley and sits on 115 acres to ensure some serious peace and quiet. ... Read More | 
Sep 7, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThe 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 25, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichFor $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). ...

Aug 21, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichAs an example of something that probably looks much scarier than it actually is, London’s Nine Elms neighborhood will soon have a glass-bottomed Sky Pool that will sit 10 stories off the ground, stretched between two luxury Embassy Gardens residential buildings. Though the structures—which are being built near Battersea Power Station—won’t be finished until 2017, we know that the stunning aquarium-like pool will be 25 meters long (around 82 feet), five meters wide (16 feet) and three meters deep (which is nearly ten feet). It goes without saying, but this pool definitely isn’t for anyone who is afraid of heights! ... Read More | 
Aug 14, 2015 | Contributor: Michael Patrick ShielsThe Holy Grail is the most legendary chalice in history—long sought-after by knights and scholars—and now the “Holy Grail” of wine cellars has been located, and it is in Memphis, Tennessee.
