The whole essence of the character of this

charming Surrey estate is beautifully
described by an inscription on one of its
garden benches, believed to have been
crafted for Lady Iveagh: Not wholly in the
busy world nor quite beyond it blooms the
garden that I love.
Pyrford Court is an exceptional Grade II
listed mansion in superb formal and woodland
grounds with the most spectacular views.
The property was built on land which was
formerly part of Woking Park, lying within the
southern area of Windsor Forest. In 1906 the
land was purchased by Lord Iveagh from his
father in law, the fourth Earl of Onslow and the
mansion and grounds gradually evolved from
then on.
In 1911 Lord Iveagh decided to enlarge the
accommodation by adding two wings, terraces
to the north and south and a Venetian bridge
to connect the north terrace to the north lawn.
The work commenced but was held up by the
outbreak of the First World War and so
was completed once peace was restored in a
slightly modied manner and with the
inclusion of a swimming pool.
Claims to fame
During the Second World War, Pyrford Court
was used by the Headquarters Sta of the 20th
Guards Brigade. In November 1940, HM
King George VI inspected the guards and
actually dined in the Blue Room. After the
death of Lord Iveagh in 1967, the estate
passed to his three daughters and remained
empty until it was sold 10 years later. Since then
parts of the house have been used as a
residential care home and solicitors oces.
The gardens have hosted music festivals and
there have been classical music performances
in the ballroom. In the 1980s, the house was
also used as the location for the rst lming
of The Omen with Gregory Peck.
In 2000 the house was sold again and the
current owners have been responsible for
tuning it back into the English country
home that it was originally intended to be.
Following its remarkable restoration, it now
aords the comfortable warmth of family
living at the same time as oering some
hugely impressive rooms for entertaining and
personal enjoyment.
Old meets new
The outstanding, south-facing master bedroom
suite spreads over most of the rst oor of the
central wing of the house and comprises a
study, bedroom, bathroom and sizeable dressing
area. Throughout the house, a dierent style
of ceiling can be seen in each of the principal
rooms, varying from ne plaster work and
beautiful vaulting to panelling and a fresco.
This attention to detail is mirrored in the
elaborate headwork to columns and pillars,
the extraordinary woodwork of the banisters,
the marble and stone replaces, and the
range of cornicing throughout the property.
However, the mansion certainly isnt stuck in
a time warp, a Crestron system controls
lighting as well as air conditioning and music
to the main rooms.
The gardens were developed by the Countess
of Iveagh in discussion with her friend,
Gertrude Jekyll and, although many of the
statues and gures that were designed for the
original gardens are no longer there today, the
carved pink marble fountain that was designed
in Italy from a photograph of one seen in
Dubrovnik by Lord Iveagh, is still intact. It can
be found in the corner where the two stretches
of the wisteria walk pergolas meet in the
north lawn. The wisteria at Pyrford Court is
yet another impressive feature of this glorious
estate, attracting gardeners from near and far
to admire the fronds which explode in a burst
of colour every May.

Courting favour
If youre looking for an exclusive address

right in the heart of Mayfair, then look
no further than this fabulous Georgian
residence. Just o Park Lane between
Grosvenor Square and Hyde Park, it spans
approximately 1,440m. The Grade II listed
property had a major restoration project
carried out on it in the mid 1990s while a
connecting mews house has been newly built
in period style.
There are so many outstanding features of
this magnicent home that its dicult to
know where to begin but they include a private
terraced garden, a 10.36m swimming pool and
secure garaging for four to six cars. All highly
valuable assets in such a location. The main
house is air conditioned throughout and there
is even a lift which serves all the principal oors.
French inuence
The house was given its present ornate internal
appearance in 1903-4, as a result of Arthur W.
Davis, who was probably a merchant with
South African connections. He commissioned
a very costly internal reconstruction in the
Empire style from the architects W. H.
Romaine-Walker and Besant, and decorators
Charles Mellier and Company, who employed
French workmen on the job.
There is a marble oor to the entrance hall
and the reception rooms are good examples
of the French taste of the Edwardian years,
particularly the drawing rooms at rst-oor
level with their rich gilded ornament. Yet
another fabulous feature is the elegant curved
staircase complete with cast iron balustrades
and brass hand rail, rising above a diminishing
oval well. Even the custom-made stair runners
are taken from Louis XIV designs.
Poolside pleasure
Moving on to the swimming pool area, this has
a vaulted ceiling with a gym, shower and plenty
of space for comfortable poolside seating. A
corridor leads to the large wine vaults and the
connecting mews house. This property in turn
has three reception rooms and three bedrooms
over the large, aforementioned garage. Between
the main house and mews house is the private
terraced garden with a light lantern looking down
into the swimming pool complex.
The master bedroom suite occupies the
second oor and comprises the bedroom, sitting
room, dressing room and two en suite marble
bathrooms. Heading further skyward, the third
and fourth oors oer ve more bedrooms, ve
bathrooms and dressing rooms.
Last but far from least, the domestic oces
comprise a large fully tted kitchen with
separate servery/utility room, two sta bedroom
suites (both with bathrooms), a kitchenette,
large storage and plant rooms. The full picture
is of a rare Mayfair mansion that will enchant its
owners and enthral their guests.

Magnificence
in Mayfair
A fine catch
Cruden Bay is a small village in Scotland, on
the north coast of the Bay of Cruden in
Aberdeenshire, Being just 24 miles from
Aberdeen, the oil capital of Europe and
probably the world, it has not been hit by the
recession and the entire surrounding area is
prosperous. Aberdeen itself is like any new
cosmopolitan city with all the amenities you
could wish for and an international airport.
In the early 1900s Cruden Bay was home to
one of three old grand hotels owned by
British Rail, the others being Gleneagles and
Turnberry. Hence the famous Cruden Bay golf
course which our featured property within the
shing community of Port Errol overlooks.
Port Erroll was purchased three years ago
from a local family who had worked the
salmon shery for hundreds of years. Port
Erroll Developments purchased it to carry on
this tradition as its one of the only places
where there is the right to sh for wild salmon
in the UK.
Donald Trump came to the area a few years
ago and fell so in love with the coastline
that he purchased a huge part of it. He is
currently spending over 1 billion building
what he claims will prove to be the best
golf development in the world, 14 miles from
Port Errol.
Because of Port Errolls unique site, the
developers decided to apply for planning
permission to build a new house and also
redevelop an existing old salmon cottage.
This was a long shot because included on the
site is an ice-house which Historic Scotland has
great interest in. After going through much red
tape permission was nally granted so long as
the developers restored the ice-house which
will be included in the sale of the new house.
Due to all the facts above, Port Erroll
Developments decided to push the boat out
with the reconstruction of the salmon bothy.
It will be a three-bedroom house with its
exterior walls of two-foot thick local granite
being totally refurbished to restore them to
their original state. These walls are a unique
feature as they would be nearly impossible to
build nowadays.
The interior is to be very similar to an
original Nantucket beach house but with
distinct touches that will make it to the high
standard that any buyer would expect from a
ve-star, world-class hotel. The property will
feature highest quality natural agstone oors
to the lounge kitchen and halls. The bedrooms
will have solid oak with tasteful hand made
rugs to suit the setting. Under oor heating will
be installed throughout to ensure comfortable
warmth, while the kitchen will be hand built
at serious cost with all modern equipment
hidden behind an old world exterior. The
bathrooms and all other living areas will also
be completed to an exceptional nish. There
are a few weeks remaining in which a new
buyer can change any of the specications
therwise the property will be completed
within the next three months.
The second house is a totally new build but
will not look as if it is because the developers
are using dierent materials on the exterior
that will bring a blend of ultra modern and old
fashioned to give a unique property. The
house will have four bedrooms with large
social areas and a great open plan kitchen/
living area. The interior can be still changed
by a new buyer as the developers are still
going through the oor plan to determine the
interior design.
There are some amazing features to this
house which include a World War II pillar-box
in its original position. This will be refurbished
to make a barbecue house and a fabulous sun
terrace. The ice-house will also be included in
the sale of this new property.
Either of the two houses presents a rare
chance to purchase something totally unique
with awesome views and a wild salmon
shery. The developers will retain any rights
to the shing but the purchasers will be
encouraged to sh with them.

Perfection in Park Lane
As a duo of stunning duplex penthouses on Park Lane comes up for
rental at 25,000 each per week, we talk to the world-renowned designer
Nicky Haslam who has created their spectacular interiors
These luxurious homes in an elegant

and discreet property in a prime London
location have been meticulously designed
and created using the nest materials in the
world. Marbles for the bathrooms have
been handpicked in the mines in Carrara, art
and antiques sourced from across Europe
together with bespoke furniture and silk
oor and wall coverings.
Aveneld House, in which the penthouses
are located, has been totally transformed
and will mark out the building as a destination
residential address. One of the joint letting
agents for these amazing penthouses
comments that the fact that they can only be
occupied, not owned outright, further adds to
their exclusivity.
The four-bedroom properties have 360
degree views over Hyde Park and the Capital,
ambassadorial reception rooms, sweeping
staircases with double height windows,
sumptuous master suites with his and hers
bath and dressing rooms, unequalled privacy
and security plus the latest in AV technology.
Signature styling
Nicky Haslams grand and impressive interiors
include several signature features such as
double height monochrome entrance doors,
decorative moulded plaster, festooned curtains
and whimsical furniture. Bathrooms have
some of the biggest showerheads in Europe,
hand embossed shagreen tiles, hand painted
vanity units, antique glass and an abundance
of televisions and concealed storage. Kitchens
are by Artichoke and include Gaggenau
appliances, marble countertops and bespoke
dressers. Meanwhile, the building itself boasts
an in and out drive with electric gates, a car
lift designed for luxury vehicles, two new
passenger lifts designed by Nicky Haslam
and a newly refurbished entrance hall with
24-hour concierge.
Nicky says that when he rst started out,
interior design was really something that you
did if you were so inclined, and in the right

circles, so to speak. It was something I always
did for myself, and friends, he explains,
and eventually when I left Vogue and Show
magazines I was helping friends so much I had
to turn it into a business!
Like fashion, design changes at a rapid pace
in terms of trends but while I very much keep
in tune with launch events like Highpoint,
Decorex etc, I am more inclined to avoid
of the moment movements which quickly
look dated. I do think, however, that there is
a general trend towards pattern and colour
emerging and this is validated by the sorts
of fabric collections I see being launched
right now.
As with all his projects, with the penthouses
at Aveneld House Nicky wanted to push the
architectural framework to its maximum
potential in terms of taking advantage of the
terric lateral space, the views, and concealing
anything like necessary ductwork. What
was also obvious to me was the sheer glamour
of the ats and that they would benet from
overscaled and unexpected plasterworks and
furnishings, he says. It was important to keep
a balance between making a strong design
statement and keeping the decor aesthetically
balanced to a degree that would appeal to a
broad range of clients.
High tech to high comfort
Naturally, the developer wanted to oer the most
comprehensive technology, so a lot of thought
was given to the best way to conceal aircon,
electronics and other vital devices. However,
Nicky also wanted to keep the residential feel
that he likes even the most high tech ats to
impart. Funnily enough, he continues, the
ats are also so large that we gave careful
consideration to furniture placement to keep
them human in a way that if two people are
having a conversation, for example, they can nd
a cosy corner in a at that could easily hold 100.
Nickys interiors are known for their glamour,
the unexpected use of materials and for the
bespoke approach he takes to furnishings.
Very little of what you see is bought, he
explains. We design and make unique pieces
and assemble them with unusual antiques
I nd along the way. Its a very individual
process tailored to each client and to
each residence.
So, we ask, does Nicky have a sound piece
of advice to oer those undertaking an
interior design project? Yes, he replies
decisively, take a cue from these beautiful ats
and try something daring in your own interior.
As Diana Vreeland often said, If you have an
idea, youre well ahead.

Dividing her time between
Hong Kong and London, the
founder and designer behind
the innovative LisaT label, has
launched an exquisite new Spa
Collection for summer
LI VE Fashion
Renowned for designing and producing
garments using only the nest Italian
cashmere, the fashion designer who likes to
be known simply as Lisa, describes her
approach as paying homage to the Golden
Age of Couture whilst redening that status
quo through avant-garde knitwear that
evolves manipulating organic surface designs
on the body. Its not as complicated as it
sounds. The concept behind the collection
is luxury combined with exquisite design, its
aim being to push the boundaries in
knitwear with new technical construction
and shapes.
The label was founded in 2006 after Lisas
long tenure as a knitwear designer in Hong
Kong. She had always been fascinated by
knitwear and textiles and under the inuence
of both maternal and paternal grandmothers,
a seamstress/milliner and a crochet/knitter
respectively, Lisas interest evolved into a
strong desire to devote her future to fashion
and, more specically, knitwear design.
After graduating from Central Saint Martins
College of Art in London, Lisa worked for
Issey Miyakes assistant Kenichi Nakayama
where she gained invaluable expertise and
inspiration for her own future creations. A
background which has resulted in the singer
and actress Kylie Minogue becoming just one
of several celebrities spotted sporting the
LisaT label.
Here comes summer
Lisa is condent that her new Spa Collection
fulls every womans desire and need to look
stylish yet understated during her spring and
summer travels. The luxurious range oers
stylish, versatile separates for wear during yoga
or while lounging and relaxing. It also features
an innovative variety of day into evening
pieces from shorts, skirts, ponchos, sarongs,
jumpsuits, boleros, vintage inspired bikinis
and eortlessly chic corseted dresses. The
collection is made of an Italian viscose crepe
exclusive to LisaT that is wonderfully cool to
wear and ideal for travelling.
Using a very feminine colour palette of burnt
orange, purple orchid, Ceylon yellow, light grey
and ivory, Lisa has incorporated her hand
drawn coral designs and then interpreted
them as embroidery on dresses and separates.
Exotic kaftan style dresses are inspired by
goldsh, creating the eects of ns by the use
of distinctive, hand designed, brush stroke
discharge prints.
Silhouettes for summer 2010 create strong
outlines, says Lisa, tracing the human form

skinny trousers. Elongated slim dresses with
emphasis on the waist and single shoulder shift
versus Grecian draped dresses. Graphic prints
are oered in bold black and white geometrics
and textures as well as futuristic digital prints
this season.
LisaT also oers an exclusive signature
pashmina wrap knitted in cashmere/linen
blend. The wrap has been selling extremely
well at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong
as it's a great travel piece and a luxurious
alternative to a scarf. Other LisaT creations
evolve around silhouettes which are bulb
like or diamond cuts in rectangular tunics,
full-bodied cardigan shrugs and uted capes.

larger than life
personality just like
the man from whom
it takes its name. Sir
Elton John has

Aids Foundation. A cause which
the renowned jewellery watch
specialist has supported over the
last decade.
The new unisex collection models
boast a myriad of the precious gems of
which Sir Elton John himself is so famously
fond. Playful diamonds appear either alone or
harmoniously combined with sapphires, rubies
and emeralds, or even colourful yellow, pink or
black diamonds.
The dial comes either in a tone matching the
gems set around it or in a white or grey-ros
mother-of-pearl version. For those preferring
simplicity, the case and dial also come in plain
white or rose gold variations.
The options of either white gold or rose gold
really give each watch edition a very distinctive
character, says Sir Elton John, Personally, of course, I
love the jewelled watches from our collection with
a choice of white diamonds or coloured jewels to ft

With a host of events celebrating all thats classic as well as modern in the

Fast track to the 50s
Any car enthusiast who hasnt visited the Goodwood
Revival is missing out on quite an amazing
experience. It came to life in the autumn of 1998 a
dream come true for the Earl of March, whose
grandfather the ninth Duke of Richmond had frst
opened the motor circuit at Goodwood in 1948.
The aim of the event is to relive the glory days of
Goodwood Motor Circuit, which along with
Silverstone was Britains leading racing venue
during its active years between 1948 and 1966.
During this time it hosted contemporary racing of all
kinds, including Formula One, the famous
Goodwood Nine Hours race and the celebrated
Tourist Trophy sports car race.
Now, for three days in late summer each year, the
circuit echoes to the spine-tingling bark of golden-
age Grand Prix cars from the 50s and 60s, thundering
sports and GT cars, as well as historic saloon cars and
little-seen Formula Juniors. Many of these are driven
by famous faces from motor sport past and present
such as Sir Stirling Moss.
The 2010 Goodwood Revival which takes place
over September 17th and 19th is set to be a very
special weekend, with mouth-watering grids,
scintillating on-track action and a number of
signifcant anniversaries to celebrate. It intends to
build on the success of last years event, when a
record-breaking 134,000 people attended over the
weekend. As ever, the Revival ofers visitors of all
ages a chance to revel in the romance and glamour
of motor racing as it used to be. It is the only
sporting event in the world set entirely to a period
theme and, every year, spectators and competitors
take a magical step back in time by getting into the
efervescent Goodwood spirit. The majority of
visitors enter into the spirit of the event, dressing in
appropriate clothing from the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
The lovingly restored circuit is unchanged from its
heyday and great lengths are taken to ensure that
everything on the site is exactly as it was. No modern
vehicles are allowed within the circuit perimeter
throughout the weekend period vehicles provide all
essential services and competitor support. Bands play
1950s music, the corn stooks on the circuit infeld are
made from a specially-grown crop with extra-long
stalks for hand cutting rather than combine
harvesting, and even the food has a 1950s favour.

Would you believe this year marks the 75th
anniversary of the Jaguar name? If youve ever
wondered how it came to be, apparently Sir
William Lyons founded Swallow Sidecars in
1922, and went on to create a range of SS
branded motorcycle sidecars and automobiles
in the 1920s and early 1930s. When it came to
the launch of the all-new SS 100 in 1935, Sir
William wanted a new and evocative name for
his company. After asking his advertising
agency for suggestions, Sir William chose
Jaguar, and the SS 100 model became the
worlds frst Jaguar.
The Jaguar name was an ideal choice it
represented the feline grace and elegance, power
and agility that set his cars apart. Sir William once
said that a car was the closest thing we can
create to something that is alive, a sentiment that
has stood the test of time.
Over the years Jaguar has built some of the
world's most iconic cars; the XK120, introduced in
the late 1940s, was an instant sensation and the
most glamorous sports car of the period; the C
Type and D Type race cars that followed,
dominated motor racing in the 1950s; the E-Type,
launched in the heady 1960s, has been called the
most beautiful car ever built and it defned a
whole generation. Sports cars have always
defned Jaguar, but the company has also built
some of the industry's most memorable sedans,
such as the Mark II in the early 1960s and the
renowned XJ range.
Mike ODriscoll, managing director of Jaguar Cars,
says, In 2010 we celebrate our past, and 75 years
of designing and building cars that celebrate the
art of automobile making. Were also celebrating
the promise of the future, and the introduction
of the all-new XJ. In just three years weve
completely revitalized the Jaguar line-up with
the launch of three beautiful fast cars.
Just a few years ago Jaguar set out to re-make
the brand and to revitalize the model range. It
started in 2008 with the introduction of the all-
new award-winning XF. This four door, fve-seat
car has the looks of a coupe and the heart of a
sports car. In 2009 Jaguar re-engineered the XK
coupe and convertible, and in the process
created one of the worlds great grand tourers.
And, 2010 sees the beginning of sales of the
ground-breaking XJ, which incorporates all of the
virtues that make a Jaguar.
Ian Callum, Jaguar design director, says, Jaguar
design over the next 75 years must respect and
refect on the past 75 while continuing to push
boundaries of technology, luxury and sporting
style. Designing cars with a presence that
demands a turn of the head and an allure that
pulls at the heart has been central to the Jaguar
brand throughout the years.
Jaguar will celebrate its 75th anniversary at some
of the worlds most glamorous automotive
settings during the year, including the
Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival in the
UK; the Concours DElegance at Pebble Beach in
the US and at the Mille Miglia classic in Italy.
Jaguar is also returning to the racetrack with its
new JaguarRSR XKR GT2 and will compete in the
American Le Mans Series.

The story of Indigo Pearl is very much the story of
Bill Bensley a Harvard graduate who has been
responsible for some of the most innovative hotel
work in Asia and the proprietors who own the
property that was once a tin mine. The culmination
of the two has produced a resort that has not
forgotten its origin. Indeed, the authenticity of this
inspiration can be found in the billiard room bar
Tongkah Tin Syndicate, which not too long ago was
still one of the mines surveyor sheds.
There are six categories of rooms, all of which are
united by one dominant theme, the design work of
Bill Bensley, which through clever use of texture and
uncompromising modernity creates a very unusual
aesthetic which, in an abstract sense, evokes
Phukets origins as a tin mining island.
On location
Located on Nai Yang Beach, adjacent to Sirinath
National Park, Indigo Pearl is inspired by Phukets tin
mining past. Nai Yang Beach is only 10 minutes from
Phuket International Airport but because its situated
next to Sirinath National Park its one of the quietest
areas on the island although the hustle and bustle
of places like Patong are only 30 minutes away.
At your leisure
More a lake than a pool, with bridges and natural
boulders, the main swimming pool (one of three) is a
dominant architectural feature of the grounds.The
open air lounge bar, Rebar, is set in a raised pavilion
that catches glimpses of the beach and neatly sums
up indigo Pearls ambience funky and blue.
There are four diferent restaurants, the most
spectacular being Black Ginger, a traditional Thai
building on stilts in a man made lake with an all
black interior accented by cobalt blue chandeliers.
The Indigo Pearl also boasts a deluxe luxury spa,
where you discover a range of relaxing and
rejuvenating treatments that use both traditional
Thai and modern innovative techniques.
The interior design throughout can best be
described as being a combination of rugged
industrial textures and tones expressed in traditional
Thai patterns and a modernity which has a focus on
the colour indigo.
Kelly Quarters
Each Kelly Quarters terrace overlooks the abundant
gardens of the resort. Textural contrasts throughout
the postmodern interior create a style imbued with
intrigue. Locally crafted furnishings complete the
luxurious feel. The name of the room is inspired by
Phuket's tin mining past, kelly being pieces of the
machinery which were once used throughout the
area for drilling in the tin mines.
Pearl Bed Suites
Embodying the Indigo Pearl experience, these rooms
ofer a spectacular interplay of rich wood and stone
foors. Postmodern accents are at work in the
furnishing, lighting and art. The expansive terrace
makes outdoor relaxation irresistible. Luxurious
bathrooms sport walk-in wardrobes and you can
enjoy a private view of the garden from the stylish
tub discreetly positioned on its own balcony. Rooms
ofer 56-65m2 of interior space plus two terraces.
Private Pool Pavilions
Sufused with luxurious detail, the Private Pool
Pavilions ofer a spectacular interplay of rich wood
and stone. Post-modern accents are at work in the
furnishings, lighting and art. Astounding design
drawn from Thai infuences, modern architecture
and the architect's own imagination. A cooling

also sports an outdoor bath, double sun lounger,
and sun umbrella. Interiors are 50m2 with a 55m2

Green pleasant land
Cast off your visions of draughty, crumbling old piles
in the middle of nowhere, country life couldnt be more
appealing with all the wonderful amenities these
rural properties have to offer
BUY UK
Imagine waking up to the sound of peace
and quiet, broken only perhaps by birdsong
or the bleat of a distant sheep. As life seems
to become increasingly hectic for most of us,
having a place in the country where you
can escape to recharge your batteries is a
tempting proposition. But supposing youve
made your decision to change your lifestyle
completely with a lock, stock and barrel
move to the country or simply decided to
invest in a luxurious weekend retreat, just
how many of these exclusive properties
are available?
Lets take Wrenshot House in Cheshire as
an example (full property details following).
Crispin Harris of the Wilmslow oce of
Jackson-Stops & Sta advises, Properties
like Wrenshot House rarely come to the
market and are therefore much sought after.
There are very few genuine country houses
with the combination of having land and
equestrian and leisure facilities in this area.
Wrenshot House also has privacy as it sits in
the middle of its own land. The scarcity factor
comes into play and therefore even in a
harder market there are always buyers looking
for this exceptional type of property.
So what of similar properties in other parts
of the country? Rupert Sweeting, Knight
Franks head of country department, informs
us that the best properties are now attracting
competitive bidding on a regular basis. Not
only that, guide prices are, in many cases,
being exceeded with some houses selling for
close to what they would have achieved at the
peak of the market.
Ticking all boxes
We are, however, some distance from a return
to the headiest days of the property boom, he
says, when even properties with issues such
as road noise would command premium
prices. Buyers do remain price sensitive and
it is the houses that tick literally every box that
are attracting the most competition. The
question everybody is now asking is how long
the recovery can continue and will prices fall
again in 2010. The most likely scenario is a
levelling o sometime in mid 2010.
Now could well be the time to make those
long held dreams become a reality as you head
for the country, you certainly wont be
disappointed with the four properties we
have selected.
Wrenshot House, High Legh,
Cheshire
Believed to date originally from 1929 with
later extensions, Wrenshot House has the
crowning glory of a Norfolk Reed thatched
roof. It has mainly double glazed windows and
is warmed by oil-fred central heating.
Internally the house is absolutely superb and
ofers a number of light and spacious
entertaining rooms, most of which have oak
foors and open freplaces, with large picture
windows and French doors leading out to the
landscaped gardens. The dining room walls are
panelled in red suede, which gives a very
opulent feel. The kitchen is hand-made and
comes complete with all the latest fttings with
a cloakroom and utility room of.
An oak staircase leads to the large frst foor
landing with fve bedrooms, all en suite. The
master bedroom has a small balcony which
overlooks the rear garden, with further
stunning views beyond. All of the bathrooms
are beautifully fnished with bespoke fttings.
There is also a well-equipped staf/relative
annexe, which incorporates a large dining
kitchen, garden/sitting room, three bedrooms,
a shower room, separate bathroom and a study.
The leisure suite incorporates a gym, which
overlooks the swimming pool area and terrace,

of Leicestershires most beautiful estates set in wonderful rolling countryside. Built in
circa 1725 and remodelled in the late 19th century, the house has an elevated position
with stunning views across its gardens, land and the countryside beyond. Its believed

grounds, 10 farmhouses and cottages, a range of traditional farm buildings, fully

Coodham House, tucked away amid 90 acres
of secluded gardens and a landscape steeped
in the romance of Robert Burns and the
sporting heritage of golfs greatest pioneers,
is a unique example of traditional country
house living for the modern age.
The former Victorian estate at Symington
in Ayrshire, which was once home to James
Ogilvy Fairlie the man who founded The
Open Championship, is unlike any other
home in Scotland.
Carved pink sandstone, ornate balustrades
and gleaming period sash windows over-
looking rolling lawns provide a picturesque
welcome for visitors as they sweep up the
driveway of the A-Listed property.
The stately grandeur of the four-storey
mansion provides for four luxury apartments,
two lavish duplex residences and three very
individual designer homes created from the
former East Wing, Chapel and West Wing
which range in price from 330,000 to 750,000.
Little more than ve years ago Coodham,
which was once one of the most important
country estates in Scotland, was a burnt out
shell. However, after ve years of hard work
local craftsmen, working with Turkish marble,
African oak and West Coast quarried
pink sandstone managed to recreate the
outside appearance and construct an entirely
new interior.
Doors and windows were handmade on site
from the nest timbers while a contemporary
steel balustrade was created to follow the oak
panelled stair as it curves upwards from
the grand entrance hall towards a source of
natural light emanating from a beautifully
decorated cupola.
Ornate Georgian-style plasterwork inspired
by Robert Adam adds a touch of opulence to
the high ceilings of the spacious apartments
combining period charm with modern
designer kitchens, luxury bathrooms and
state-of-the art technology, including cable free
audio visual facilities, lighting, satellite TV and
a video-voice security system.
Outside, the same attention to detail has
been lavished on the grounds with three
miles of picturesque walks, woodlands and an
ornamental lake, almost a mile in circumf-
erence, attracting a stunning variety of birds
and wildlife.
The gardens, which are regarded as being
of considerable national importance, contain
a variety of rare plants, including spruce
pine, 30 varieties of bamboo and other species
imported from the Black Forest and California
more than a century ago.
Coodham provides an accessible country
retreat despite being just 27 miles from
Glasgow city centre and six miles from
Prestwick International Airport, which has
frequent ights daily to London, Dublin,
Rome, Paris and more than 30 other world-
wide destinations.

Envision a land encompassing 55 acres offering both sunrises and sunsets. Next, imagine a shoreline stretching 3,000 feet along some of the most
pristine waterfront with soft, sandy beaches. Then, picture a compound of three separate waterfront residences that watch ships come and go
from its two deep water docks. Dream of the deeply dredged, private lagoon with additional docks for safe harbor during storms. Conjure up an
expansive pond, beautiful orchards, indigenous wild life and miles of walking trails to enjoy.
No, not the promo for some exotic vacation destination (or maybe it is). And not the location for the next Pirate movie (but it could be). Nor is it the
secluded haunt of a mysterious mega mogul (at least not currently). What is it exactly? Simply put, it is the most beautiful waterfront property now
available for sale in the Hamptons today. Located on the northern tip of a peninsula that looks at the pristine shorelines of Shelter Island, Sag Harbor
and East Hamptons Northwest Harbor, Tyndal Point awaits.

Once a swampland, this sprawling city now
buzzes with the energy and independent
spirit that transformed it into one of the
States most signicant cities. Everything
in Houston is big, from the towering
skyscrapers, to the huge sports arenas
Reliant Arena, Minute Maid Park and
Toyota Center that host the Houston Texans,
Astros and Rockets, to the citys prominence
in aerospace, oil, shipping and nance.
Even the architecture makes big, bold
statements, like the Medical Center towers
that resemble two giant syringes.
Laura Personette Null, partner and CEO of
The Personette Group, says that the Houston
housing market is one of the healthiest in the
States. Houston never experienced the
housing bubble that plagued markets in
California, Florida and Nevada. Its economy
is very strong given its position in the energy
and medical industries and because the cost

Houston its the fourth

States and has much

of living is very reasonable (beneting in
part to no state income tax), employers are
relocating to Houston and employees are
happy to follow.
Buyers are spoilt for choice as all types of
properties are available. Due to the lack
of zoning, explains Ms Personette Null,
Houston is an expansive market surrounding
a number of hubs, e.g. Highland Village,
Greenway Plaza, Downtown, the Medical
Center all considered inside the Loop.
River Oaks and West University are the
established neighbourhoods inside the loop
and are primarily made up of large single-
family homes and town homes. Just outside
the loop is the Galleria and the established
neighbourhoods of Memorial and Tanglewood.
To the north are the master planned
communities of the Woodlands and Kingwood
and to the south is First Colony in Sugar Land.
A rapidly growing area to the west is the
BUY Texas
Energy Corridor where every major energy
company has either its headquarters or at least
a major presence.
She goes on to say that because Houston is
a multi-hub city, not a traditional high-rise
market like New York, Chicago or San Diego,
there is not a natural residential high-
rise market. That is to say an urban area
including shopping, entertainment and
restaurants within walking distance. The rst
successful high rises in Houston primarily
attracted empty-nesters and retirees because
of their close proximity to auent neigh-
bourhoods like River Oaks, Memorial and
Tanglewood, continues Ms Personette Null.
These buyers are downsizing and looking for
the simplicity of the lock-and-leave lifestyle
aorded by high rise living but want to be in
or near one of Houstons activity hubs when
making this transition from a single-family. In
addition, more recent high rises, located in the
Galleria and Medical Center areas, are also
having success attracting professional singles
and couples who understand the benets of
homeownership but dont have the time or
interest in maintaining a house.
The only downside to Houston seems to be
its lack of a mass transit system meaning trac
in the hub areas is unavoidable. As for the
future, more mixed-use developments are
planned, such as live/work/play developments
including apartments and condominiums,
and these are likely to get underway in 2011.
Because of the recession and its impact on
wealth (a parallel indicator of discretionary
income/purchases), there are some deals to be
had, concludes Ms Personette Null. There are
properties that either suered foreclosure or
came close enough that developers are
making deals. That said, prices have held up
very well so the buyers market may be
coming to a quick end.

Canadas tallest condominium ocially
broke ground on April 23rd during a special
ceremony for special guests and members of
the media including executives of the
developer Canderel Stoneridge Equity
Group, Toronto Mayor David Miller and City
Councillor Kyle Rae. The event celebrated
the groundbreaking of Aura, a monumental
single condominium tower that will rise 75
storeys (or 243m) above Torontos historic
College Park, at the northwest corner of
Yonge and Gerrard.
With dignitaries and special guests over-
looking the site during the ceremony, Mayor
Miller instructed the construction supervisor,
via walkie talkie, to start construction; and
with direction from Torontos Mayor, the job
site immediately rolled to life and the heavy
machinery began to roar as the process of
building Canadas tallest condominium
tower began.
Toronto has one of the most liveable urban
cores of any large urban centre in the world
and this project is a testament to that, said
Toronto Mayor David Miller. Id like to thank
Canderel Stoneridge for their vote of condence
in our downtown and their eorts to keep it
alive and vibrant.
Sales at Aura began in the spring 2008
and its opening was met with tremendous
excitement and positive reaction from both
local and international real estate buyers.
Shortly thereafter, the project was faced with
a global economic recession and a very
challenging condominium market, yet, despite
a dicult economy, Canderel Stoneridge
continued to market the project and continued
to sell units. Today, the development is 97%
sold, with a few luxurious units remaining,
including the projects $17.5 million, 11,370
square feet penthouse suite.
The recession of 2008 created a challenging
nancial environment for real estate devel-
opment around the world, and continues to do
so today, says Jonathan Wener, Chair of
Canderel Stoneridge. And while the real
estate world changed several months after we
launched Aura, the projects strong sales
gures to that point, its signature location,
iconic architecture and our rms history of
developing large residential and commercial
developments successfully for more than
three decades allowed us to move the
project forward, meet our sales thresholds and
arrive at todays milestone.
Iconic status
As Canadas largest single condominium tower,
Aura will boast 931 condominium suites in a
development of more than 1.3 million square
feet. Boasting a dynamic and iconic form,
the development was designed by Toronto-
based architect Barry Graziani, of Graziani +
Corazza Architects.
We believe that the towers location along
Yonge Street, at one of the most historic
sites in the city, required an exhilarating
architectural form, says Michael La Brier,
President, Canderel Stoneridge. Moreover, a
location of this magnitude demanded a
project of great stature and signicance; it had
to assume an iconic status, and immediately
stand apart from other residential projects
in Toronto.
The development includes 150,000 square
feet of prime retail space at the podium level,
plus additional recreational spaces. Among the
retailers who have committed to opening
locations at Aura are Bed, Bath & Beyond;
Bank of Montreal; Canyon Creek; and Alice
Fazoolis. Beyond world-class retail along
Yonge Street, the development will also
provide direct connections below ground to
the TTC Yonge Subway line, as well as future
connection to an expanded PATH system.

We set down our skis just for a moment to
take a closer look at the potential of the
Canadian property market post the
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games
The latest news as we go to press is that the
average price of a home in Vancouver
has reached CAD$1 million (652,000).
Although this may not necessarily be a
direct consequence of the Winter Olympics,
the exposure and success of the games
surely did nothing to hamper property prices.
David Carson, chief operating ocer and
executive vice president of Sothebys
International Realty Canada reports that the
rest of Canada is experiencing a real estate
boom but, as he points out, this cant be
attributed to the Olympics.
Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto are the
hottest markets in Canada at present, says Mr
Carson, with bids often coming in over asking
price. With the stability of the Canadian
economy, strengthening dollar and increasing
immigration the real estate market is poised
to remain strong in Canada while interest rates
remain historically low.
If youre looking for a particularly good
return for your money at the moment then Mr
Carson is advising investors to consider the
resort markets, such as Whistler, Tremblant,
Revelstoke and Collingwood for example.
They have been slower to recover from the
global real estate downturn and presently oer
good value, he says.
There are virtually no restrictions on
foreigners purchasing property in Canada and
the procedure is quite straightforward, in many
ways resembling that of home-buying in the
UK or USA. So, climb aboard your bobsleigh
and join us for a whistle-stop tour of some of
Canadas nest homes.

especially in Costa Smeralda, remain
tenaciously stable and this is helping to draw
Italian buyers back to the market.
The company believes that the current
trend of the property market in Costa
Smeralda-Gallura (north Sardinia) is strongly
linked to and inuenced by a series of
fundamental laws. These were established in
the 1970s in order to protect the environment
and ensure the quality of life in this area of
Sardinia. Subsequently, planning restrictions
have contributed to the steady rise of prices
over the years.
With regards to the most sought after
locations in Sardinia, advises Julia Bracco,
international sales manager of ImmobilSarda,
the most popular are of course the
internationally renowned Costa Smeralda,
Romazzino, Pevero Golf and Porto Cervo,
Porto Rotondo (where the Italian prime
minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has his summer
residence), Porto Rafael and, for the most
discreet, Portobello di Gallura. Prices in these
areas range from 7 to 50 million (6,135,100
- 43,825,334) for prestigious pieds dans
leau, villas which are considered real
trophy assets.
One of the reasons the Costa Smeralda
remains so popular with the rich and famous
when it comes to buying a holiday home is its
infrastructure which is tailored to provide
security and privacy for its celebrity residents.
Another is the availability of the indispensable
trappings of the super wealthy such as
helicopter and yacht charter, 24-hour security,
chaueur driven limos and a supply of
professional domestic sta. For those looking
to join this exclusive homeowners club,
House Around Sardinia oers personalised
travel and accommodation in a ve-star
hotel, beachside villa or luxury yacht plus
daily travel by limousine or prestigious
sports car while you are looking for your
perfect property.
Sardinia, of course, is not just about the
Costa Smeralda. The 1850km of inspiring
coastline is dotted with dazzling white, sandy
little bays and long stretches of beach
interspersed with gigantic jagged limestone
ridges descending into a sea of varying shades
of blue. Inland is the least populated area of Italy
where mountains, forests and lakes provide a
backdrop of dramatic vistas for all types of
outdoor pursuits. Last but far from least, the
Sardinian people are warm, hospitable and
always ready to share their culinary expertise
and locally produced wine.

Of all the regions of Italy, Sicily covers the
largest land area at 25,708km and is also the
largest island in the Mediterranean. Quite
distinct from the rest of Italy, here Europe
starts to take on a denite avour of Greece
and even North Africa. Sicily also has its own
language, which is close to Italian, but with
Greek and other inuences. Although the
islands rst language, you'll nd standard
Italian (and English) spoken in shops,
restaurants, bars and hotels.
Fabrizio Vitellino of Buy in Sicily reports,
In this particular time of international
recession, its worth noting that Sicily is
increasingly becoming a destination of great
interest, especially for the markets of Eastern
and Northern Europe. Sicily, living mainly in
its own economy was not aected too much
by the international economic crisis. Naturally,
the crisis led to a decrease in selling price but
this makes it even more attractive to invest
in Sicily.
The large investments that the region has
made in Sicily in recent years to improve its
infrastructure, see the completion of
new highways and the modernisation of
Fontanarossa airport have brought a new
impetus to our island. Mr Vitellino believes
another positive eect on the luxury property
market has been the creation of many new golf
and luxury resorts and the restoration of
historical houses.
Remaining on the subject of very old,
traditional houses, Pantelleria, a small
Sicilian island o the coast of Trapani, is
enjoying a thriving real estate market,
particularly for dammusi. These buildings,
native to the island, are local architectural
symbols that date back to the Fenician
domination and have evolved up to the 17th
century. Angelo Savioli, CEO of St. Peter
Sothebys International Realty in Rome,
explains, Their market, characterised by
prices which vary signicantly across the
islands areas, has experienced a surplus in
demand even though prices have risen. In the
last year prices have stabilised and it is
possible to nd some interesting properties on
the market which are very well kept. It is

Blue is the colour

the mere thought of any one of these
destinations immediately summons up
images of the heady lifestyle the French

possibly imagine and more! Superb sports
and water activities, excellent food and
wine, plentiful sunshine and the natural
beauty of the surrounding countryside are
a few of the areas many attractions.
A good part of the allure of the French Riviera
has to be put down to its Mediterranean
climate. Sea breezes keep the summers from
being too stiingly hot while the frequent
sunshine ensures that the winters are mild. Its
even possible at certain times to have a swim
in the Baie des Anges in the morning and
then spend the afternoon skiing up in the
mountains. How many resorts are able to oer
that level of diverse leisure activities in the
same season?
All along this coast there are hidden towns
and villages just waiting to be discovered and,
of course, theres the added bonus of being so
close to some of Europes nest beaches and
the incredibly blue sea after which the Cote
dAzur is named. No wonder the likes of

Life aboard The World is like no other

sailing experience: Elegant and intimate
surroundings, impeccable service and
excellent onboard facilities make it a home
away from home.
More akin to a private yacht, The World is
renowned for its intriguing itineraries and
unique voyages that will take you to some of the
most exciting places on the planet. With longer
stays in port and well-researched excursions in
smaller groups, The World oers the chance to
travel at your own pace in utter luxury in the
company of adventurous and like-minded
fellow explorers.
All aboard for Greenland
The World will visit Greenland, the largest and
least densely populated island on earth, from
1st to 18th September 2010 for an incredible
journey though one of the planets most
breathtaking destinations. More than two
weeks will be devoted to Greenlands Ice
Age glaciers, deep fjords, towering mountains
and majestic wilderness. Travelling at The
Worlds signature, leisurely pace, residents and
guests will be aorded a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to explore Greenlands rich Nordic
and Paleo-Eskimo history, abundant wildlife
and stunning scenery. Considered to be the
birthplace of the icebergs, Greenlands o-
shore waters are teeming with whales, seals,
birds and a variety of other Arctic wildlife.
Although The World has visited Greenland
once before, this is the rst expedition of
its kind, oering 18 days of guided tours,
informative lectures and excursions as well
as plenty of time for personal shopping and
sightseeing. Residents and guests will be led
by a hand-selected team of Arctic and marine
experts, naturalists, and botanists.
The expedition begins in the worlds most
northerly capital, Reykjavik. After traversing
the Denmark Strait, the ship will pass
along the Eastern coast of Greenland, where
passengers can observe the expeditions rst
icebergs. The Worlds eet of nimble zodiacs
will enable travellers to explore the wild tundra
and its magnicent wildlife ashore. After
spending time on the ice-covered east coast, the
vessel will visit the lush, green, west coast via the
Prins Christian Sund a glacially carved
fjord system over 50 miles long. This narrow
channel is surrounded by mountains towering
over 6,600 feet on either side.
A visit to Greenlands largest and best-
preserved ruin, Hvalsey Church oers a
glimpse into how the Norse settlers lived and
the colourful town of Qaqortoq includes a
guided walking tour and longer hikes into the
surrounding countryside. Explorations of
Brattahlid and Qooroq Fjord will reveal the site
of Erik the Reds estate, which today is a sheep
farming community. Walk among the green
pastures where Erik and his descendants
lived until late in the 15th century and where
it is believed that the rst church of the New
World once stood. On to Ilulissat, meaning
The Icebergs, the most productive glacier in
the northern hemisphere and a designated
UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town
was founded in 1741 and was later home to
Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen whose house
is now a museum.
The World will then travel nearly 400 miles
beyond the Arctic Circle, this will be the
furthest north of the voyage, heading to the
ancient winter settlement of Qilakitsoq, site
of a group of mummied bodies, preserved for
500 years by the cold, dry conditions. Sailing
on to Disko Island and Southern Disko Bay,
Greenlands largest and newest island and
home to a wealth of avian and marine life. The
expedition ends in St Anthony, Newfoundland,
the largest town in this region of northern
Labrador. Travellers may choose to disembark
or stay onboard as The World makes her way
to Quebec and beyond.
T he World will spend the remainder of 2010

honeymoon and leave soon afterwards.
This is a real property development where you

entitle yourself and your immediate family for

Monaco
A tiny Principality of just two square
kilometres, Monaco boasts two megayacht
marinas of its own and on the west side it
overlooks the picturesque marina of Cap
d'Ail. This must be the most dense
population of yachts/residents anywhere in
the world!
Monaco Villas has a selection of
exceptional apartments and even a villa or
two which overlook the marinas (to say
nothing of the Grand Prix which roars
around the main marina, known as Port
Hercule, every May). The apartments are
mostly top end properties of three, four or
fve bedrooms, generous reception rooms
and terrasses which overlook the gorgeous
yachts which winter here when not
operating in the Caribbean.
Monacos main marina is the only one on
the Cote dAzur which has expanded in the
past 15 years. Other marinas have remained
static even as the average size (and
especially beam) of yachts has increased
which has put even more pressure on the
availability of reasonable moorings in the
region. The same could be said of the
properties which overlook these mighty yet
serene beasts in their peaceful state. There
are never enough to satisfy the demand for
exclusive and prestigious properties from
high net worth individuals, who demand
nothing but the best. However, this year is
an exception, inasmuch as the fall-out from
the crisis is that some properties have been
vacated, thus improving the availability
statistics and easing the previous upward-
only price pressure.
Port Hercule
This three to four-bedroom apartment of
375m2 has en suite bathrooms, a vast
reception room, kitchen/breakfast room and
a south and west-facing terrace with the
most spectacular view to Port Hercule, the
Grand Prix circuit, the Old Town and palace.
The property also includes three parking
spaces and a cellar.

Marina facilities
Port Hercules, a natural bay below the
ancestral rock of the princes of Monaco, is
one of the very few deep-water ports on
the French Riviera. A new outer port has
made it possible to create an additional
dock for some 20 yachts from 35 to 60 metres
and two of 100 metres opposite the new
yacht club, bringing the total capacity to
700 berths.
Inside the original port, HRH Prince Albert
II, who continued the work started by his
father Prince Rainier, wanted the stretch of
water to undergo comprehensive
redevelopment to make this port the most
modern and practical marina in the western
Mediterranean. This redevelopment will
enable large and luxurious pleasure craft to
be welcomed in response to the ongoing
popularity of ocean cruising.
Overlooking Cap dAil Marina

Built in 1995, this block is in the process of being
refurbished and ofers an entire foor of some 750m2
which can be divided and re-developed into two
large apartments or a sensational single four or fve-
bedroom property. Monaco Villas has just completed
managing the re-development of one foor and is
currently starting on another. There is one foor
available for sale and a couple of apartments are
available to rent. They are superb, state-of-the-art
and exceptional even by Monacos very high
standards. Each apartment includes at least three
parking spots.

Cap d'Ail Marina is situated on the border of France

take advantage of the Nice Airport link with a six-

only three minutes away. The marina can berth a
total of 253 boats of up to 80 metres in length.
Malta
Its not hard to appreciate why a steady
stream of people choose to retire or buy a
second home in Malta. This is an island
where the sun shines most of the time, the
people are friendly, the sea is clean, its safe
to walk in the streets at any time of day,
people speak good English and you drive
on the left. Malta is a member of the EU
member, ofering political stability and a
stable property market ofering steady
capital growth. It also has excellent
residency conditions with very low taxation
and no rates or council taxes.
Malta has never attracted hoards of
buyers there are only about 4,000 to 5,000
Brits and Irish expats out of a population of
over 400,000. This is probably why the
property market has proved to be so
resilient in the face of the recession. Maltas
property market experienced a slowdown
in 2009 when compared to previous years
but relatively speaking, the decline has
been minimal. In fact, there are already
signs that the property market is once again
picking up at a steady rate. This is because
the domestic market in Malta has remained
healthy with one of the highest rates of
home ownership in the world. Those who
have invested in Malta in the past have seen
a signifcant return on their investment.
Portomaso, St Julians
Within a fashionable district on Maltas
northern coast, Portomaso ofers a

Ahead of
the competition
The rst regional winners of this years International Property
Awards programme have just been announced at a glittering gala
dinner in Hong Kong. We nd out which companies are
setting the pace in Asia Pacic
Asia Pacific Property Awards in association with Bloomberg Television
If you expect to get the best end result then
surely it makes sense to employ the services
of a company with proven ability right from
the outset of any property related project.
An excellent place to start is to look for
award winning companies who display
winners logos on their websites and other
marketing materials with pride.
As the worlds most prestigious competition,
the International Property Awards in
association with Bloomberg Television has the
prime focus of seeking out the best real estate
professionals across the globe. Established
16 years ago, the programme covers residential
as well as commercial categories which are rst
judged at regional level for example, Asia
Pacic, UK, Europe & Africa, Americas
and Arabia.
Entries for the Asia Pacic Property Awards
increased yet again this year with a staggering
19 dierent countries in the region submitting
entries for judging. New countries competing
in 2010 include Taiwan and Kazakhstan
while Vietnam submitted more entries than
ever before.
The culmination of all this was a gathering
of several hundred Asia Pacic property
professionals at The Langham Hotel in
Hong Kong recently. Eager to discover if
they were among the winners they took
part in a networking event during the day
before attending the gala presentation
dinner in the evening when the results
were announced.
Later this year, top scoring winners from the
Asia Pacic Property Awards will compete
against other winning companies from all
the dierent regions across the globe to
determine the Worlds Best in each category.
Last year, the Asia Pacic region scooped no
less than seven Worlds Best awards an
amazing feat and two more than it achieved
the year before. The property industry is
now watching with great interest to see if this
amazing record can be matched or possibly
even beaten in 2010.
Stuart Shield, president of the International
Property Awards, says, Entries for the Asia
Pacic region are always impressive but this
years seem to have hit an even higher
standard. Our judges have had a very hard task
selecting the winners and we were delighted
to celebrate their success at the gala
presentation dinner in Hong Kong.
How they work
Each individual awards programme has a
total of 36 dierent residential and commercial
categories and up to two of the most
outstanding entries in each category are
Asia Pacific Property Awards in association with Bloomberg Television
given a four-star award, while the best
overall entry is given a ve-star. Every ve-star
winners entry is then re-assessed to decide
who is to be nominated for the ultimate
Worlds Best Award.
Each award programme is celebrated with
its own gala dinner where the presentations
are made while the Worlds Best winners are
announced at a grand presentation dinner
towards the end of the year.
Supported by a host of well-respected
professional bodies such as FIABCI, NAEA
and NHBC to name but a few, and judged
by an independent team of experts in the
property, design and construction elds
together with property writers and sponsors.
The awards programme continues to prove
highly benecial for winning companies as a
globally recognised mark of success on the
international stage.
How to Enter
The Property Awards programme is
open to property developers, builders,
estate agents, brokers, realtors, interior
designers, architects, public relations
and advertising agencies. Properties
under development can be entered at
any stage of construction provided
planning approval has been granted
and companies may submit single or
multiple entries.

ASIA PACIFICS BEST 2010
DE VE L OPE RS AGE NTS DE S I GN I NTE RI ORS
Chairman of Judges
Helen Shield
Editor-in-Chief,
International Homes Luxury
Collection Magazine
The Asia Pacic Property Awards in association with Bloomberg
Television is the rst of ve different regional competitions to be
judged as part of the 2010 International Property Awards program.
And what a challenge their quality presented our judging panel! We
received even more entries than last year and, as we have come to
expect of this particular region, they were of an extremely high
standard. Vietnam entered more categories than ever before and we
also welcomed entries from several new countries such as
Kazakhstan and Taiwan.
We were delighted to see so many entrants attending the gala
presentation dinner at the Langham Hotel in Hong Kong recently
where the winners were announced. Now the highest scoring
winners from the Asia Pacic Property Awards will be re-judged
against other top scorers from all the other different regions across
the globe. Our judges will then be able to determine the Worlds
Best in each category. These international winners will then be
revealed and presented with their awards at a grand gala dinner in
London on November 26th.
Last year, the Asia Pacic region won an amazing seven International
Property Awards an increase of two on their total in 2008. We will
now watch and wait with bated breath to see if the region can top
this remarkable total.
We would like to thank all those who have participated and send
our sincere congratulations to this years winners. We hope the
awards they have won will help these companies continue to build
on their already considerable success in the future.

Established in 2003, New Space is an
architectural and urban design
company with a core team of design
directors who have worked together
with the founders for many years. The
practice encourages its staff to pursue
their professional and academic
interests. Comprising talent from a
variety of their cultural and working
backgrounds, the company draws
strength from this diversity.
Its architecture director, Kevin Sim
was previously the partner in charge of
Xintiandi project in Shanghai when he
was a partner in the Singapore arm of
Nikken Sekkei.
New Space directors think of the
ofce as a medium sized boutique style
practice with personalised service. The
main interest of the company is the
exploration of new paradigms for each
project it undertakes, while achieving the
aesthetic and economic objectives
required of the project.
New Space has built up a considerable
portfolio of work in China. This includes
mixed developments in Suzhou; a range
of projects in Sanya City in Hainan Island,
as well as projects in Guangzhou and
Jiangsu province. New Space is both a
young practice and a very experienced
one. Its core values are personalised
service, interest in theoretical aspects of
design and attention to the science and
craft of buildings.
The rst of New Spaces four
award-winning projects is a 25,268.71m
commercial and industrial property within
the International Business Park, Jurong,
Singapore. The strategic massing of the
architecture and positioning on the site
has set a new benchmark, distinguishing
the building from its surroundings, making
it stand out as a landmark. A public park
exists within its boundary and green
elements such as energy conservation,
reducing CO
2
emissions, preserving water
and reducing heat gain have been
incorporated in its eco-friendly design.

the placing of the buildings tries to give
an institutional feel while also achieving a
variety of scales to the various blocks. The
district police station forms a portal with

the plaza.
Shelford Suites Condominium in
Singapore is a project calling for a large
number of small units with three
bedrooms each to cater for families with
school age children. For this development,
New Space based the architecture of
the building on linear forms with
transparent planes contrasting a series of
horizontal boxes oating on a box of
granite and glass.
New Spaces fourth award-winning
architectural project is a bungalow on the
resort island of Sentosa Cove in Singapore,
a master-planned enclave of high-end
bungalows and condominiums. It is
composed of two volumes, separated by a
swimming pool in the centre and an open-
air atrium. The larger volume contains all
the major living spaces while the smaller
one houses a kitchen at ground level and a
study on the second oor. The two
volumes are joined by bridges and all
vertical movement is provided by a series
of steps, bridges and a lift. The
arrangement of the volumes with its open-
air atrium and cross ventilation ensures
that natural sea breezes ow through
house and obviates the need for any air-
conditioning. All major rooms have a view
out to the South China sea.

New Pearl Apartments in the heart of
the historic Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street in
District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, This street is
also home to the Reunication Palace, a

will stand 18 storeys tall and house 120
high-end apartments, a shared swimming
pool, four private rooftop pools, a gym,
childrens room, public activities room
and 250m of leasable area on the

The material choice and construction
techniques of the building fabric ensure
that the residents and occupants will be

comfortable in their surroundings. The
New Pearl Apartments will also be one
of the only high end residencies in the
city centre not planned as a serviced

residents the benet of a maximum
amount of natural light and unobstructed
views and all habitable areas have
luxurious balcony space. In addition, the
nishes and xtures have been carefully
selected to ensure the highest possible
quality whilst being available within the
local Vietnam market.
Phu My Metropolis Central is the
second award-winning project in
Vietnam for Aedas. This mixed-use
development will become the new
symbol for a modern living standard in
the capital city of Hanoi and set a new
benchmark for regional development.
Equal attention has been given to
all building components with the
towers featuring the residential
apartments and the podium housing the
commercial, retail and entertainment
areas. Interest has been created by
using three different residential tower
forms where massing and height are
varied to give the development direction

Two high-rise towers mark the main
entrance and ceremonial plaza; the
towers are vertical with the building
massing eroded at the top in a spiral
fashion exposing the buildings circulation

The atrium is surrounded by living space
and so also gives maximum light and
ventilation to the heart of the
development. This urban atrium space
provides residents with a peaceful oasis
in the centre of a thriving development
and city, while the podium garden
provides a comfortable and natural
environment for leisure activities
immediately on their doorstep.
Aedas also won awards for two of
its projects in China. North Star,
Beijing is a mixed-use development
located on the fth ring of the city, close
to the Olympic park area. The
development is within a larger master
plan, to the west is a large leisure park
and other cultural facilities, while to the
east are the main streets and a new
subway station. Given this prime location,
the project serves as an anchor to the
master plan and links directly to the
Beijing transit network.
The design of North Star could be
seen as being similar to water owing
between two rocks. The two commercial
towers, The Rocks, anchor each side
and natural movement of the retail
podium is caught between them. Daylight
pours through skylights between the
towers, highlighting entrances to the
north, south and west sides of the site.
This undulating skylights acts like water
ow, bringing energy to the mall below
and enriching the internal space with a
feeling of nature.
The two 25-storey high towers are
situated on top of a seven-storey mega
retail podium, Designed as a retail
experience where people can sit and
relax apart from simply doing their
shopping, Circulation paths inside the
mall are planned like an artery system
inside an organic body, similar to water
owing down a stream. Externally the
different oor plates create terraces and
stepped landscapes for sitting and

Aedas architectural design for the
Pazhou Exhibition Center in Guangzhou,
China would have already been
considered a challenge due to its four
distinct uses being split between two
sites. However, the complexity becomes
even greater because the sites are
separated by 160 metres occupied by
another building.
The centre-piece of the
development is a government funded
exhibition centre which currently ranks
as the second largest in the world.
Pazhou is an island within the Pearl River
which is dedicated to exhibition related
activities. Due to this and the fact that
the Pazhou Exhibition Complex is
located directly across the street from
this new facility, the centre needs to be
highly competitive to ensure its success.
One of the two sites contains a large
retail exhibition area in the podium and a
large ofce showroom building on top.
The second site is a traditional, multi-
oor exhibition centre in the podium
with a 500 room, ve-star hotel located
above. Already proving a winning
combination, the introduction of four
primary uses helps to diversify the centre
and create a mixed-use vibrancy which
allows the business model a stronger
likelihood of success.

PTang Studio Ltd was established in
1997 and engages in a diverse scope of
projects: ranging from small scale
residential, show at design to large
scale commercial works like corporate
headquarters and movie launching
functions. As a professional consultant,
the company engaged a wide range of
projects in Hong Kong, China, Japan and
the UK. PTang Studios philosophy is
modest and getting to basics is what it
believes in.
The company creates spaces,
bringing its clients the most comfortable
atmosphere by understanding their
individual preferences. Seeking the nest
quality and innovations, developing a
fresh and unique style that transcends
existing boundaries and widens the
horizon of design in the visionary future
is its aim. PTang Studios excellence and
quality of work can be reected from
its established and well-deserved
reputation. Organised around a series of
teams, each of which is managed by an
experienced designer, PTang Studio
believes its aggressive and energetic
designers with their professional
experience are able to provide the best
services for clients.
Well placed to meet new design
challenges, PTang Studio gives a
spectacular vision to each delicate project
and this can be reected from the vast
amount of fresh commissions and the
number of companies with whom it has
established a long-term strategic
relationship over past years.
The Sail at Victoria (Developer: The
Hongkong Land Limited) in Hong Kong is
an excellent example of PTang Studios
design prowess. Located next to a
picturesque green mountain, the most
valuable asset of this apartment is the
scenery outside its windows. Hence the
client wished to take it as the theme of
the entire property. However, the most
challenging aspect of the design brief
given to PTang Studio was that nothing
green should be included.

The resulting tree theme given to the
apartment was therefore created minus
green paint, furnishings or foliage.
Remarkably, different kinds of greeneries
can be found everywhere you look,
expertly created in innovatively
presented ways. The designers have
incorporated a vast visual element into
this at with the dining table, chair,
lamp, feature wall and shelves all being
given the distinct form of plants.
Stainless steel plant graphics and light-
projecting birds and leaves add to the
tree-like ambience.
Strong colours and graphics are put
into the apartment to create a striking
contrast. As the actual living space is tiny,
designers changed the bedroom wall
into a glass partition together with a glass
wardrobe whish gives the overall
appearance of being much slimmer than
a wooden one. All furniture in the at is
completely tailor-made, not only to suit
the environment but also to maximize
the usage of space.
Proving an ideal contrasting, yet
also award-winning project, No.8 Tai
Tam (Developer: Lobo Investments
Limited) on Island South, Hong Kong
was initially to be classied as luxury
with classic decorative materials and
deluxe accessories. However, due to
the various constraints of the building
conditions, PTang Studio needed to
change the direction a little to provide
a mixture of both classic and modern.
As the client claimed, the outcome is
quite surprising.
Therefore, the design brief for this
spacious 8,500 square foot house
became to incorporate a few classic
elements with more contemporary
touches. For example, the house
features many black walls a detail the
homeowners specically requested,
because they felt black showed a touch
of class. For these walls, the designer
chose wallpapers and drapes that
boast somewhat traditional motifs,
such as a oral pattern, and combined

them with furnishings and accessories
that have distinctly sleek, streamlined
silhouettes.
Different materials were placed on
different walls to create an interesting
texture for each and every area such as
wallpaper with strong graphics, fur
padding, metallic wallpaper with bird
decorations and articial leather
wallpaper, some with die-cut metal
graphics over it. Leather texture wall tiles
have also been used with a leaf feature in
gold over the top. The warmth of the
colour gold has also been incorporated in
a golden bar counter and a golden metal
grid display feature.
Designers also made the most of
the homes distinguishing features. The
basement oor extends on to the deck,
featuring a private innity pool, which, at
certain times of the day, doesnt actually
get very much sunlight. To alleviate this
problem, the designer punched a hole
through the oor of the spacious terrace
above and paved it with glass, thereby
creating an enormous skylight. As with
PTang Studios previous project, this was
completed well within the set budgets,
including all decorative accessories.

founding partners who bring with them
a wealth of knowledge and combined
professional experience. Since its
inception, the company has completed
numerous projects that range from
large-scaled residential and commercial
developments, award-winning mixed-use
developments, showat interiors and
master plans in Singapore and abroad.
The Twins at Damansara Heights is
situated in an afuent suburb of Kuala
Lumpur (KL), amid low-rise residential
estates and commercial complexes. As
the site sits lower than its surroundings,
the architects inserted a raised podium
block at the base of the development,
resulting in minimal excavation of the site
and, consequently, less impact on the
environment.
The twin towers, 36 storeys each,
punctuate the skyline like beacons of
architectural precision; gentle curves
soften the impact of massing. Full glass
wall facades, horizontal sunshading ns
and striking roof proles shaped like ship
hulls inject a dose of dynamic inner-city
urbanism to the suburbs. Building
orientation was optimised to take
advantage of panoramic cityscape views.
Residents and visitors arrive at the
impressive porte cochere in the style of
a luxury hotel lobby before proceeding
to the lift lobbies. Access to the
environmental deck at the roof of the
podium is via a pair of bubble lifts, which
dramatises the experience. This level
hosts communal facilities such as a
swimming pool, outdoor pavilions and
landscaping features. A unique selling
point of the development is the sky gym,
located at the top oor of one of the
towers. With full-height glass windows,

citywide vistas as they perform their
workout routines.

The showat stands in sharp contrast
to the sales gallery, its disposition one of
baroque opulence rather than
streamlined simplicity. Rich accent colours
like gold, crimson, imperial yellow and
royal blue impart an air of exclusivity
while mirrors enhance the space.
Living, dining and balcony are read as
a continuous, uid space ideally suited for
entertaining. Accentuate this particularity
is a ceiling recess with strips of cove
lighting. A section of wall in the dining is
clad with three mirrored panels,
effectively doubling the volume of the
space. Thick drapes with borders part to

Unique headboard designs

generous spans of mirror to enhance the
sense of spaciousness. A highlight of the

to direct diners towards either

Lumpur Stock Exchange) since 1992,
the Dijaya Group is involved in a
spectrum of businesses that includes
resort and property development,
manufacturing, investment holding and
management services.
In 1995, Dijaya acquired Tropicana
Golf & Country Resort which
signicantly marked Dijayas business
diversication and its rst venture into
the real property industry. Over the
years, the group continued to accumulate
land bank in strategic locations,
assembling successes, one after the other.
The hallmark of the Dijaya Group is
distinguishable from the outstanding
characteristics of its properties: excellent
locations, quality, and innovative building
concepts, alongside contemporary living.
These not only exhibit superiority; but
the prestigious developments also
appreciate substantially in value over
the years.
Tropicana Golf & Country Resort is
located in the prime suburb of Petaling
Jaya. Its imposing signature archway
offers a grand welcome to visitors as
they enter the lush grounds of the
development. This iconic gateway has
come to symbolise the splendour and
majesty of the resort.
A main objective of the Tropicana
Golf & Country Resort was to build
a world-class golf course for the
enjoyment of both professional and
amateur golfers. One of the worlds
leading golf course architects, Graham
Marsh of the renowned Australian
team, Marsh-Watson Pty Ltd whose
credentials include a string of
ve-star projects, was commissioned
to design and construct the Tropicana
golf course.
There are two challenging dream
courses at the resort the nine-hole

East Course and the 18-hole West
Course that offer golng pleasure to
both champion and amateur golfers
day or night. They come complete
with rolling slopes and sweeping
valleys with each course designed to
United States Golfers Association
specications.
Both courses feature strategically
located sand and water hazards amidst
picturesque holes on the rolling green.
The excellent macro and micro drainage
system of the courses ensures that
players need not delay their games after
rain. Games interrupted by even a heavy
downpour may be resumed after a mere
15-minute wait. In addition, the courses
are automatically irrigated by a
sophisticated system of sprinklers that
controls the volume, spot and duration
of water sprayed. It comes as no surprise
then that the Tropicana Golf & Country
Resort 27-hole championship golf course
is ranked among the nest in the country,
with many golf enthusiasts regularly
making the golf course a key destination
in their golng itinerary.
The 625-acre guarded community is
home to thousands of residents who
favour fuss-free modern and exclusive
living, as well as the convenience and
comfort of resort facilities right on their
doorstep. Set within this beautiful resort
development, Dijaya has earlier this year
gone on to develop Tropicana Grande, a
luxurious low-density condominium that
overlooks the golf course.
The design concept of Tropicana
Grande was planned with ultimate luxury
in mind. The development is large
enough to provide comfortable living
accommodation while full-length glass
windows capture the scenic views over
the greens that surround it. Facilities
include a private lift lobby that delivers
residents right to their doorstep and
selected units come with a private pool
for them to relax in and around after a

Tropicana Grandes architectural
design is similar to four crystalline blocks,
designed for maximum transparency to
maximise the view towards the sprawling
golf course. Almost all of the bedrooms
are facing the golf course while certain
units bring the wonderful view even
closer by having private gardens.
The condominiums design is inspired
by the game of golf or even dictated by
the golf course itself. As an example, the
orientation of the developments blocks
imitates a golfers swing; its form follows
along the contour lines and mound of
the golf course, a landscape that has its
own micro ecology; and the human
appreciation of nature as displayed on
the golf course.
Tropicana Grande offers a whole

its par golf course such as 24-hour
security and a childrens playground.
Leisure and sporting amenities include
an innity pool, oating lounge pool,

its brand, a substantial number of
purchasers are repeat buyers proving their
faith, which is synonymous to the quality,
early delivery and substantial capital
appreciation of Naza TTDIs products.
The Valley TTDI is a spectacular
achievement by Naza which is making
waves across the region. It owes this iconic
statement to the companys vision of a
low-density serene development
surrounded by foothills. All the buildings
incorporate eco-friendly materials and are
designed in accordance with energy

The development is set to integrate
work with pleasure fully, all within the
same vicinity, heralding the dawn of a new
business lifestyle in Shah Alam. Six blocks
of four and ve-storey shop ofces are
targeted towards the urban community
with a modern, contemporary faade.
Other features such as dual frontage
design, double volume ofce spaces and
wide pedestrian avenues increase the
desirability of the Laman Seri Business Park
even further.
Unlike conventional shop ofces, those
at Laman Seri have no rear facades; the
development is designed to have front

visibility for businesses from all directions.
However, its crowning glory is the double-

emerging market aspirations, the
company brings world-class standards of
quality, design and value closer to the
reality of daily living, thus providing
investment growth, signicant progress,
and genuine customer satisfaction.
Pertama Residency is in one of Kuala
Lumpurs oldest suburbs and one of the
last few surviving green lungs, Cheras.
Ideally situated close to the city centre,
the development is well connected
through a series of highways and intercity
public rail and bus routes. Minutes away
from every hot spot in KL city, Pertama
Residency is strategically located nearby
landmark amenities such as Jusco Maluri
and Cheras Leisure Mall shopping centres,
and the Maluri LRT station.
Comprising a single, elegant, 21-storey
tower, 13 storeys are service apartments,
six are dedicated as car park levels and
another storey houses the recreation
facilities. As guests and residents enter the
premises, they experience a formal
approach to the development emulated
in its gently landscaped port cochere,
evoking a sense of homecoming on
arrival. There are also a few commercial
units on the ground oor which have
been taken up by a ne dining restaurant,
grocery store and a cafe, thereby creating
a development that not only serves the
needs of the residents but adds value to
the immediate community within which
it operates.
The residences are designed to take
full advantage of the majestic Kuala

sweeping views of the KLCC towers, thus
making the outside as important as and
at peace with the inside. The main intent
here is for the tower to become an

is given to clean and open living spaces
congured to accentuate daylight and
create friendly spaces. At the same time,

residential units were designed with the
aim of evoking the peace and tranquility
of a spacious and well-aired home. The
chi of such natural environment is
emphasized and elaborated with the
introduction of an over-the-top wider

it, thus minimising the usage of

The living solutions at Pertama

Wi-Fi services, swimming pools, gym, and
sky-gardens. Interesting features include
the incorporation of a balcony in one of
the unit types which is unusual in
developments in Malaysia; the creation of
a giant red P into the design of the
structure as a branding initiative; and the
extensive use of stylish grills to conceal
air-conditioning compressor units, piping
for sanitation purposes and other
maintenance related features that negate
aesthetics but are necessary for functional
purposes of the residents.
Now nearing completion, Pertama

development in Cheras, one of Kuala

which has become well known in Macau
and Hong Kong. This partnership
between the Yuk Tung Group and HR
United Group has resulted in a
dedication to creating and developing
homes of the highest quality such as
those to be found at The Peak.
In the heart of Cheras, just a short
drive from the city centre of Kuala
Lumpur, The Peak has become a new
landmark for the city. An important factor
of the developments central location at
Bukit Prima Cheras is that it allows easy
access to major highways leading to the
central business district of Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysias capital city.
Developed based on the principle of
providing a practical yet luxurious,
comfortable and safe living environment,
The Peak spreads across 54 acres of
freehold land. Approximately 20 per cent
of this area remains green and the
landscape has been preserved whenever
possible with minimum clearance of the
natural terrain.
The Peaks development consists of
three-storey houses including superlink

upgrade their current living conditions,
The Peaks units are designed to provide

The Chinese have used the system of

interactions and relationships between
the different phenomena of nature. It is
by this principle, incorporating all ve
elements wood, re, earth, metal and
water on which The Peak was built.
Hence wood is invoked through the
classic wooden nishing in each home;
re is represented by the homes lights;
earth through the trees, plants and
gardens surrounding the development;
metal by the gates which protect the
homes and maintain control within; and
water with The Peaks beautiful fountain.
The Peak offers numerous on-site
facilities, such as fashionable cafes, tness
centres, a swimming pool and sauna
meaning that residents do not have to
leave the comfort of their own
environment to seek recreational
pleasure. A focal point of the
development is an exclusive community
clubhouse that caters for residents and
their guests gastronomic as well as
entertainment needs.
Throughout the entire planning of
The Peak, one of the key concepts has
been not just to create a visually stunning

sustainable construction methods and

PTI is a specialised architectural and

want to achieve the most from their

For the last 20 years PTI has designed
and overseen the construction of a wide
range of properties across all segments
of the tourism, residential and other
accommodation markets around
Australia and throughout Asia and
the Pacic.
What distinguishes PTI from usual
architectural rms is that it combines a
high level of commercial skill and specic
market understanding in tourism and
accommodation projects, with highly
creative design expertise. As a result,
the company has been able to
create a range of extremely successful
commercial properties and investments
rather than simply attractive buildings
and environments.
In the current market especially,
where competition between properties is
considerable and where providing
something special and at a value for
money price is fundamental to the
ultimate success of a property, properties
need to be carefully designed in order to
achieve results. What is required is a
design that can both capture the
imagination and attention of the market
as well as provide a highly competitive
value for money product. PTI is seeing
this more and more in the market as
buyers are increasingly choosing their
properties based on design and
perceived experiences. Whats more, this
is applicable across all markets, not just
the high end, luxury market.
So, to be able to design and deliver
successful properties, an architect really
needs to understand the specics of the
particular market for a property. For
example what is the market looking for,
what works and what doesnt, and how
can you best deliver the required end
result? With every project, PTI works to

Kata Rocks is an oceanfront

stunning granite platform, which acts as a
private lounging area facing the sea. The
sloping nature of the site gives rise to the
opportunity for every apartment to have
fully uninterrupted sea and sunset views
across the Andaman Sea towards the
picturesque Ko Phu island.
The development is comprised of
thirty-four luxury Sky Villas, each
featuring private innity swimming pools
from which owners can enjoy the
spectacular views. Clients can choose
from one to four bedroom options,
ranging from 134 sq m to 460 sq m. Kata
Rocks also boasts top-tier amenities such
as an oceanfront sunset bar and bistro,
tness and function rooms, a communal
pool and a luxury spa.
The award-winning Kata Rocks Club
Penthouses on the top two oors of
each block have been conceived as the
ultimate in oceanfront apartment living.
The 14.1 m long open plan living room,
dining room and kitchen all lead on to
the terrace and pool, allowing for
breathtaking seascapes and a feeling of
space and light, as the outdoors both
meet and compliment the interiors. At
the end of the 10 m innity swimming
pool is a raised, covered dining sala
alongside an outdoor barbecue. The
whole building is enclosed by wrap-

aerofoil louvers that give an appearance
similar to that of a super yacht. This
invokes a feeling of nautical luxury and is

which is right by the start of the Kings

By hiring Adrian McCarroll of
Original Vision, a Scottish architect based
in Asia with an ofce and proven track

Architect in Thailand award in 2006),
Kata Rocks has been able to draw upon
the expertise and innovation of a
western architect with the local
knowledge necessary to create a
design which can maximise on the
extraordinary features of this unique
location. We didnt have to get asked
twice to be part of the Kata Rocks
concept, says McCarroll. Capitalising on
the natural topography, the to-die-for
view and the stunning rock features, our
overwhelming objective has been to
create a resort that is sympathetic and in
harmony with the site, yet an outstanding
example of contemporary tropical
design. With a fantastic sense of space
and an unequalled level of amenity, Kata
Rocks will be very special and an iconic
boutique destination.
Unsurprisingly, the development has
also drawn strong celebrity interest. The
adventurer and television personality
Bear Grylls has already purchased a
Club Penthouse at Kata Rocks. Best
known for his television programmes,
Grylls notes, I make a living showing
how to stay alive in a survival scenario,
but when I am on holiday, I just love to
chill out with family and friends in places
that are discreet but spectacular. Kata
Rocks is both of those in abundance, a
very special hideaway for us.
Kelly Hoppen MBE, who is as well
known for her East-meets-West interior
designs as she is for her celebrity client

The developer of Kata Rocks,

over 20 years in the UK. Of this
development, he says, When I rst
found the land at Kata Rocks, I knew
that I had found a very special location,
the type a developer nds once in a
lifetime. It is truly world class
oceanfront, west-facing between the
two best beaches on the best island in
the world, and with rocks that look like
they have been placed like ornaments
what an amazing place. I have strived to
match the quality of the location by
hiring the best in every area in order to
make Kata Rocks one of the nest
boutique resorts to be found anywhere
in the world.

EPS Property Search
Australia
The property nder (or buyers agent as
the role is known in Australia) is an
emerging industry in Australia as an
increasing number of buyers understand
the importance of engaging skilled
professionals to manage their real estate
transactions. In 1999, Patrick Bright
identied a need for buyer services in
the real estate market place and led the
way to open one of the rst buyers
agencies in Sydney in 2001 EPS
Property Search.
Only experienced professionals who
had a real estate sales background were
eligible to join, ensuring that EPS
established credibility quickly. Over the
years, this decision has proved to be
invaluable in creating a point of difference
between EPS and other buyers agencies
that have commenced operations.
Ongoing training and work incentive
schemes are highly valued at the
company to ensure its team members
are up to date with industry
requirements and remain leaders in
the marketplace.
When rst established, the company
began helping buyers nd their dream
homes or investment properties. Rather
than be content with a successful single
focus business, EPS listened to its
clients needs and added new services
including property management,
renovations, relocations and SellAssist.
These additional services have been
instrumental in developing a successful
and sustainable business while making
the teams skills, experience and
offerings more attractive to a wider
range of clients.
EPS takes pride in its high level of
customer service from the moment it
receives an enquiry through to settlement
and beyond. Its client base has grown
through a highly successful referral process
where current clients provide positive
feedback to their friends and colleagues.
Currently client referrals and repeat
business represents around two thirds of
the companys turnover. EPS has also been
proactive in developing successful strategic
alliances designed to generate an ongoing

supply of clients. Its focus has been to
establish effective networks with reputable
businesses in related elds such as
solicitors, nance brokers and
interstate/overseas buyers agencies.
Instead of being satised with its
Australian based networks, EPS identied
high earning Australian ex-pat markets in
Singapore and Hong Kong to further
expand its client base. In order to be
successful in these markets the company
knew that it was important to have a
presence in the ex-pat community and
began running seminars in Singapore and
Hong Kong several times a year.
Director, Patrick Bright, has also
written three best-selling educational
books in his Insiders Guide to Buying
Real Estate series providing knowledge
on the tactics and strategies involved in
purchasing real estate. EPS also offers a
weekly newsletter for those who are
interested in receiving the latest property
details. In addition, Patrick provides
regular comment on current property
issues in his blog on the EPS website and
throughout a variety of media
publications and broadcasts.
As, arguably, the biggest buyers
agency in Sydney and denitely the
company offering the widest range of
services, EPS has always been a market
leader in its eld and paved the way for
others to enter the same industry.
