Preston Hollow French Renaissance Estate Designed by Peter Marino has Underground Surprise

Image
Our Monday Morning Millionaire at  8891 Jourdan Way is the most beautiful Preston Hollow French Renaissance estate  you’ve ever seen. And it also has an unmatched architectural pedigree . It was designed by renowned architect Peter Marino , who brings an unprecedented level of elegance and luxury to everything he touches. Marino apprenticed under I.M. Pei and George Nelson. Early in his career, he designed Andy Warhol ’s private home, Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Bergé’s Manhattan apartment, and the Park Avenue apartment of Gianni and Marella Agnelli. When Barney’s was owned by the Pressmans they hired him to mastermind their displays. He’s also designed just a few luxury stores — 30 for Chanel, 20 for Luis Vuitton, and 15 for Dior. Armani, Arnault, and Rothschild are among the more recent clients he will name. Private residences make up only about a quarter of his projects. If you can nab him to design your home, you’ve lucked out. There is simply no one better.  If you are lookin...

Laura … more » Business Response: Laura, thank you so much for taking a few seconds to give us a 5 star shout out. Harish Vijendran Pros: This is a very good apartment community to live, overall. Very nice maintenance guys , who are very friendly as well. Good neighbors, even though I don't know them, never had any troub … le. Cons: Most apartments lack dual pane windows , so noise is on the higher side due to regular maintenance activities going on in other apartments, so if you are a person who works from home a lot, be ready. Rent increase was $230 for a one bed for 2017-2018 cycle. And there is easily a $100 on top of your rent advertised (monthly) Extra car parking is paid, but there is always someone who parks in your spot, in the internal community website , this is the top complaint. more » Pros: This is a very good apartment community to live, overall.

Strike London Hotel Gold at Charming, Posh (and Shockingly Affordable ) Flemings Mayfair" />Let's talk about the drawing room. All photos courtesy of Flemings Mayfair. Can it be? A gorgeous, centrally located, family-owned hotel in Central London that's actually affordable? Contributing editor and London regular Christina Ohly strikes hotel gold at Flemings Mayfair. LONDON – Visitors to London are spoiled for choice when it comes to fantastic hotels, so I am always on the lookout for the latest, greatest, newest offering when I return to this city that I consider my second home. I tend to stay in more residential areas — Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill — but my latest favorite find is in the heart of Mayfair, tucked away on sweet Half Moon Street . I literally can't stop raving about this hidden gem. Originally opened in 1851, Flemings Mayfair was converted from thirteen adjoining Georgian townhouses , which gives it an intimate, smaller feel than the oth...

Woodcreek Apartments - Around Guides

Rated 4.0 of 5 1235 Josey Street, Huntsville ☎ +1 936-291-0500 comcapp.com These apartment walls are super thin so you can hear a pen drop from three buildings down. I moved into a recently "remodeled" apartment but let me tell you it was the WORST remodel I've ever witnessed. Everything was painted over, outdated appliances, 1970's fan, a/c doesn't run efficient and the list goes on. If you love dogs welcome to the dog pound! It seems like every single apartment has three dogs barking at the same time. I can't even get up to use the restroom without the surrounding apartments just barking away. If you sign a lease here make sure you have a bag of doggy treats readily available. -  Carlos Hernandez The best apartments I ever stayed in!!! So very peaceful and quiet! Office staff was nice and friendly, maintenance handled request at a timely manner. We were just in love with our apartment floor plan ! -  Butterfly Gabs26 Lived here for a year and decided t...

366-square-foot apartment gets space-saving renovation

Image
Local firm NCDA has turned a small apartment in Hong Kong into a more efficient home for its owner by creating a loft space above the dining space. Nicknamed the Mini Treehouse, the original floorplan measured 34 square meters , or about 366 square feet , and included a kitchen, living area, and bedroom, all on the same level. To open up the living space, the designers decided to take advantage of the 10-foot-high ceilings by knocking down a wall and moving the sleeping quarters upstairs into a loft. The new “bedroom” measures approximately 40 square feet, is clad in natural pine, and is accessed by a ladder. A horizontal strip of glass provides additional natural as well as views of the surrounding site. The designers also created a screen of triangles on the outside of the loft for some added texture. This plus the natural wood of the bedroom deck create a connection to the forest outside, which is framed by sliding glass doors , while the deep aquamarine- painted walls contrast ...
