The Private Collection Magazine 2017

Branding is not simply a logo but the combination of a company’s actions and the resulting perception in the market. Luxhabitat’s real estate platform is testament to our focus on quality. Over the years, we have developed our own brand identity and set a different standard for how luxury properties are being marketed and sold in the Dubai residential market. We have invested to develop our technology, marketing, public relations, and content teams in-house, unlike other real-estate companies who choose to outsource the same. This way, we truly represent our brand as niche, because everything has the Luxhabitat style, brand and attitude. The Private Collection magazine is a product of that effort, which is a collection of our best properties along with editorial features, design picks and the lifestyles Dubai has to offer. The traditional brokerage companies tend to employ real estate sales professionals exclusively, with its management mostly made up of former senior agents. We decided to take a different approach from the beginning. Combining under the same platform, topclass sales agents along with with recognized professionals from different disciplines gives us the power to build different and better ways of doing business. This strategy differentiates us as a modern brand that will continue to evolve with our fast-moving market. Nothing forces reflection more than the dawn of a new year. As Luxhabitat faced the arrival of 2017, we paused to consider the accomplishments made across each of our divisions. We have strengthened the team with the objective to assemble the best minds from a variety of backgrounds; because when innovative thinking is shared between talented engineers, marketeers and agents, we can change the industry. We invested in our innovative digital platforms and tools in order to elevate our client service at every touch point. We observed our city evolve with major infrastructure milestones and several developers moving towards quality with the launch and completion of several new projects that will only help to further consolidate the market. All these advances help to explain that during 2016, the company achieved its highest revenue levels since our foundation. Just as we look back, we also look forward to the achievements yet to come. From inhouse game-changing marketing and techtools, a brand new division focused on project marketing to a new property development management business, 2017 promises to deliver beyond expectation. Every company goal, every agent initiative, is intended not only as a gain for the industries we touch — real estate, technology, marketing, design — but, more importantly, for the communities we serve. Every milestone represents another brick in the future of real estate.

Recently, the Luxhabitat Design Studio was commissioned with a complete refurbishment of a penthouse in Dubai. The four bedroom apartment currently is located in a central area of Dubai and oriented north west. It has exceptional views and spans 450 square metres. The current living space is divided into separate rooms; the living room space is separate from both the dining area as well as the kitchen. The kitchen is relatively small in comparison to the rest of the apartment. guests. They also wanted to connect the open kitchen to the social area to promote an open living concept as well as create a massive space to entertain a high number of guests. They also wanted to maximise the surrounding views and give a panoramic appearance to the whole apartment. The layout was to be made in such a way that there was a wide area of table and kitchen island for the clients to enjoy an equally functional space. The client also wanted a very contemporary feel throughout the apartment, using modern elements and pieces with personality as well as colder materials for the formal living space and warmer materials for the private quarters. Of course, that’s where our design studio stepped in to help transform this home.

  11. THE DESIGN In the concept designed by us, we find an extended formal area designed for group meetings. The colors are a lot more colder and subtle. The whole formal area is composed simple interior architecture with white plaster walls and concrete flooing The exposed concrete gives us freshness and brings a raw feeling to this room, making it the perfect choice. The neutral interior architecture seeks to emphasize the purpose of this room. The views are emphasized from this room, and natural light pervades throughout. The formal area is distributed in a functional manner, with the kitchen in the centre and a meeting area following it.All the furniture used range from a contemporary to modern style. As you enter, you are graced with a formal living section of the room which has a sofa, a daybed and two armchairs. The concept was conceived in order to avoid closing off of the areas, thus seeking continuity without barriers. The furniture is versatile enough to be moved about and the arm chairs are rotatable to change orientation. The massive table can accommodate up to 10 people and is directly connected to the kitchen in order to offer more comfort and convenience between the two areas.

GRANTORINO Jean-Marie Massaud takes inspiration from the world of saddlery and deisgn to form Grantorino. There’s a huge amount of freedom in how you put it all together.

Available in three versions. www.flos.com The dining area is situated near the windows to enjoy natural light. The kitchen area is open and connected to both the dining and seating area. It includes a large island that can be used as a meeting point. It’s a social kitchen, which means that all appliances and cooking areas are hidden. The island consists of a space to sit four stools for informal dining. Apart from the grand opening, the kitchen has other access points to the family room and corridor. The entire kitchen designed to enjoy natural light.To continue the seamless feel of the whole formal area we created direct way that leads to the family room. As we head towards the more private areas, the materials are changed to enjoy more comfort. The flooring is parquet and there are darker colours incorporated. To the separate family room, we added a large comfortable and a comfortable space to sit and enjoy watching TV, listening to music or reading.

  13. THE DESIGN PICTURE PERFECT HOME CINEMAS BANG & OLUFSEN’S NEW HD TV HONOURS THE BRAND’S ICONIC DESIGN. ARCHIMEDIA CREATES SOME REALLY BESPOKE CINEMAS FOR ITS CLIENTS. Televisions do not come more beautiful than this. The delicately crafted oak wood lamellas on the front create a warm organic contrast to the dark cool glass panel and the square aluminium frame that encloses all sounds and visions with clean precision for this Beovision 14 HD TV. Once the exclusive reserve of movie magnates and the very wealthy, dedicated home cinemas and media rooms are now being built into many homes. Families spend more and more time watching movies, enjoying sporting events, listening to music and playing video games together than ever before. The right room, designed to optimize your experience, has become an absolute necessity. Built with anti-reflection glass and optimised images, you have up to 98% of clear vision. The craftsmanship is unlike any other, with ultra-thin oak wood lamellas that cover the three-way custom build speaker of BeoVision 14. It looks similar to the Beolab 18 and is designed that way to enhance its audio capability. Archimedia’s process begins with selecting the most suitable space in your home, and designing it (with the guidance of your interior designer) to meet the highest standards of audiovisual performance as well as aesthetics. The TV is powered by the Android TV platform, which provides fast, and easy access to an endless amount of web based content and exciting apps for entertainment, news and gaming. This involves not only selecting the grade and color of leather for the chairs and the specific carpeting, but also making the complex acoustic and video configuration calculations that result in selecting the precise equipment to meet your needs. They work closely with design professionals as well. The Beovision 14 syncs seamlessly with the other Beolink Multiroom products of the brand.

  14. THE DESIGN THE GREAT OUTDOORS YOUR GUIDE TO SOURCING THE RIGHT MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY OUTDOOR FURNITURE IN DUBAI Even though we rarely get to enjoy the great outdoors, we pretty much are assured of sunshine all year round here in Dubai. Of course, this means getting the right furniture that can sustain the harsh heat and making sure your plants don’t suffer during the summer months. With a rise in interest with self-gardening, more and more people are growing their own produce. Here’s a Luxhabitat guide to furnishing your outdoor spaces: Outdoor Sofa Blasco. DNA recoups the Mediterranean sun’s attenuated reflection that evokes a decorative rawness through its laminated aluminium structure. The entire collection is inspired by a subtle game of the light and shade modulations typical of the Mediterranean and a eulogy to the aesthetic of the shadow as understood in traditional and contemporary Japanese architecture: the positive and the negative free of any superfluous ornament. Gandia Blasco is available locally in Finasi stores. Gardening and cool or protect from the rain and wind. It is not understood as an item apart, but instead relates to its environment and melds with it. Kettal is available at Obegi Home. Container homes Forming part of a modular structure, the outdoor sofas by Gandia Blasco are stunning from end to end. Made of anodized or thermo-lacquered aluminium profiles, the mats are covered with water-repellent fabric. Extremely comfortable, they are a perfect contemporary addition to grace the outdoors.

When we think of Aston Martin, a boat hardly ever comes to mind. However, during the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2016, it released its first two boat models, the AM37 and the AM37S; creating history for the brand as its debut entry into the yachting world. Sliding deck technology allows owners to cover the cockpit of the boat completely at the touch of a button. The three lightweight carbon panels, operated by the AM37 key, fold under the aft deck when the cockpit is uncovered. An electro-hydraulic carbon fibre bimini top is stowed under the engine hatch when not in use and, extending from the aft deck, a swim platform allows for easy access to the water. This day-cruiser yacht can reach speeds up to 50 knots and is seamless in design. Conceptualised by craftsmen who invented some of the most iconic Aston Martin cars, including the One-77, Aston Martin Vulcan and the DB11, this boat is a force to be reckoned with. At the helm, the AM37’s carbon fibre dashboard echoes styling elements from Aston Martin’s most advanced sports cars. It includes fine leather with functional features, such as the steering wheel, throttle handles and joystick in polished metals. The boat’s navigation, control monitor and entertainment systems are all integrated, with advanced multimedia functions. The AM37 also includes a cosy air-conditioned cabin, a bed (converted from a table), a lavatory, refrigerator, microwave oven, and coffee machine www.astonmartin.com The exterior of AM37 features dynamic proportions in a design that is simple, yet immaculately executed. The boat is set apart by the attention to detail in every element of its design. The wraparound windscreen has been created from a single piece of sculpted glass fluidly draped over the AM37’s foredeck. With extreme double curvature, it sets a new industry standard, adding seamless beauty to the overall appearance. 41 41 40 WWW.LUXHABITAT.AE

  23. THE AFICIONADO ART INTO THE SEA PURCHASING ART IN DUBAI WHILE IT MAINTAINS THE PURITY FOR THE SUBMERSIBLE LINE, THE PANERAI 508 IS A COMBINATION OF SEVERAL OTHER MATERIALS INCLUDING A LEATHER STRAP THAT MAKE IT A STYLISH DIVE WATCH. WE DISCUSS ART AS AN INVESTMENT WITH GUILLAUME CUIRY, FOUNDER OF LA GALERIE NATIONALE BASED IN AL SERKAL AVENUE. The absolute darkness which rules in the depths of the sea is reflected in the appearance of the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Ceramica, the new Officine Panerai Special Edition which, with its matt ceramic case, its P.9000 manufacture movement and the details inspired by the historic heritage of the brand, represents a perfect synthesis of history, technology and watchmaking design. Art in Dubai has never had more emphasis. This past year, the Art Dubai and Design Days fairs alone contributed US $35 million. The city is no longer a newbie in the art sphere. People are investing in art like never before and perhaps it will be in Dubai that you will uncover the next Picasso at one of its exhibits. But beauty, especially in terms of art, just does not lie with the beholder, expresses Guillaume Cuiry, the Director of La Galerie Nationale, a gallery specialised in original art furniture made by top designers representing the 20th century in Al Serkal Avenue. Luxhabitat talks to him about art as an investment: The case is sealed by a titanium back coated in black, with a S.L.C. torpedo engraved in the middle, and hosts the hand-wound mechanical calibre P.9000, entirely developed and executed in the Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel. With a diameter of 133⁄4 lignes, 28 jewels, a variable inertia balance and Incabloc® anti-shock protection, the P.9000 movement is notable for the precision of its construction. It has two spring barrels which are constantly wound by a weight oscillating in both directions, providing a power reserve of three days. The movement also has a convenient system for adjusting the hour hand which can be moved forward or backwards in steps of exactly one hour, at the same time also changing the date displayed. by global international artists and they also love to acquire pieces from these artists. UAE visitors take the opportunity of a visit to discover artists only showcased in famous museums. That’s not the same regard. The common trait is they have the same strong interest in art. Visitors are able to buy an artwork before any investment consideration, but when we are talking about price, the question is essential, in UAE like anywhere in the world. The Luminor 1950 case, with the black ceramic bridge protecting and sealing the winding crown, is made of sandblasted black ceramic, a material synthesised from zirconium oxide powder which is both light and tough as well being resistant to scratches, corrosive agents and high temperatures. The classic shape of the case 47 mm in diameter is created by a complex series of working and finishing operations which also give it a particularly uniform, smooth matte appearance. How to start an art collection of your own On collecting art in the UAE A collection always starts with a ‘heart shot.’ Always. You meet an art piece, but, in fact, the art piece selected you. Then you discover the artist, his life, his work, his story. Then you’ll learn his art and the art environment. You’ll read books, visit museums, visit art galleries. An art lover quickly becomes an Art Connoisseur, then an Art Collector. At the beginning it is a must to be passionate. If you have the budget for it, try to buy an artwork done by a master artist with an official quote. If you have any doubt, please contact an expert before you buy the piece, not after. The key point is definitely to love the piece. It’s not realistic to buy an artwork you don’t like and see it every day, every week, every month or every year. This way, if one day you decide to resell the piece, the sale will be much easier. If you love it, others will love it too. The investment rating is essential in any act of acquisition in the market of art. Only a few pieces of artworks could be considered as serious investment. After 40 years of experience, our customers expect from us the best advice. It’s a huge challenge for us. This is one of the main reason our clients contact us. A non-specialist is often troubled by all information he can catch on the web. Art is not pure speculation, it is an expertise. I have never proposed an art piece showcased in my gallery only as an investment, but we have sufficient experience to advise our customers. When you really want to invest in art, follow the advice of a specialist. Aesthetic and emotional arguments are not enough. The Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Ceramica (PAM00508) is water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres) and it is supplied with a black calf leather strap, fastened by a large trapezoid-shaped buckle in brushed titanium coated in black. It has been produced in an edition limited to 1,000 examples. The unidirectional rotating bezel enabling the length of the dive to be determined is made of the same matte ceramic as the case. The only colour which contrasts with the profound black of the case and of the dial is the ecru Super-LumiNova® on the applied hour markers, the graduated scale and the partially skeletonised hands. The date window is at three o’clock while the classic. Panerai small seconds dial is positioned at nine o’clock. In terms of movement, the watch is automatic mechanical and executed entirely by Panerai, It is 7.9 mm thick and has 28 jewels, Glucydur® balance, 28,800 alternations/hour and an Incabloc®anti- shock device. The power reserve lasts 3 days, It has two barrels and a 197 components. Buyer behaviors in the UAE La Galerie Nationale is located at Al Quoz 1, Street 8 on Al Serkal Avenue.

  43. THE HUB: DUBAI REINVENTING TRANSPORTATION THE HYPERLOOP ONE IS THE UAE’S ANSWER TO HIGH-TECH TRANSPORTATION. UAE’S PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS THE UAE APPOINTS A NEW MINISTER OF HAPPINESS TO ITS CABINET OF MINISTERS The UAE is one step closer to being the world’s first location for a new form of high speed transport system that can enable people to travel from Abu Dhabi to Dubai in twelve minutes, following an agreement signed today between Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) and pioneering mobility company, Hyperloop One. The idea of a Hyperloop – a low-pressure tube through which levitating pods containing both passengers and goods can travel at up to 1,200 km/h – has recently gained attention around the world. Benefits include higher standards of safety than a passenger jet, lower build and maintenance costs than high-speed rail, and energy usage, per person, that is similar to a bicycle. Director General & Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA, H.E. Matter Al Tayer, commented on the agreement, saying, “In line with the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum – Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai – RTA is collaborating closely with Dubai Future Accelerators to support innovative solutions for the future of mobility. “This is an opportunity to help transform the UAE from a technology In Feburary 2016, following a cabinet reshuffle HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai appointed Ohood bint Khalfan Al Roumi as the UAE’s first Minister of Happiness.

With Hyperloop One, we will create a new means of transportation, keeping our region at the forefront of transportation technology and innovation.” Rob Lloyd, CEO of Hyperloop One said, “Having signed an agreement with DP World in August to pursue a cargo-based Hyperloop One system at Jebel Ali port, our focus has now expanded to include connecting the emirates. As the central global transport hub, pursuing the implementation of a Hyperloop in the UAE makes sense. The leaders of the UAE understand that transportation is the new broadband, with the power to transform life throughout the GCC. We are now at a stage where, from a technological point of view, we could have a Hyperloop One system built in the UAE in the next five years. Our agreement with the RTA is the biggest step yet towards achieving this goal.” Alongside the signing of the RTA agreement, the Hyperloop One team introduced, for the first time ever, a vision that represents a complete transformation in the way that people travel in the twenty first century. Khaled al Qasimi, previously the minister of foreign trade, who became the UAE’s first female minister in 2004. Happiness is a serious job for governments,” said Ms Al Roumi. “The main job for the government is to create happiness. In 2011, the UN encouraged the member countries to look at happiness for a holistic approach for development.” Hamad Al Rahoomi, an FNC member, said of the new role: “I am happy with the new position of Minister of Happiness. “It’s already sending a good message that the UAE loves to see its people happy.” he said. “The minister’s job also involves coming up with new ideas and policies that would help government improve people’s wellbeing so they can have happy lives.” Ms Al Roumi, who was speaking to news channel CNN, said: “The role of the government is to create an environment where people can flourish – can reach their potential – and choose to be happy. “For us in the UAE, happiness is very important. I am a very happy and positive person and I choose to be happy every day because this is what pushes me, this is what motivates me, this is what gives a sense of purpose to my life, so I always choose to see the glass half full,” she said. The legislator added that the role would help push for better services that promote people’s welfare and ensure that all government policies and legislation add value to people’s happiness especially in providing them with quality and standard lives. The UAE currently ranks as 28th happiest country in the world according to the UN World Happiness Report.
