The Reality of Construction: Architecture in Practice One of the most fulfilling aspects of a career in architecture is witnessing a project that we’ve designed come to life. To see an idea on paper turn into a built space filled with people whose lives are made easier, more enjoyable, and more fulfilling because of our work. The process of seeing a project through construction is complex, though, and the design’s evolution is often substantial. Inflation and rising construction costs pose additional challenges, as many (if not most) projects go through rigorous value engineering processes to align design intent with economics. Building relationships with General Contractors and the Governing Agencies is extremely integral to the construction process and success of the development. Advancements in AI are revolutionizing the design phase by significantly enhancing visualization capabilities and streamlining workflows, thus opening new avenues for creativity and efficiency in the design process. Despite these technological strides, the critical role of human intervention remains paramount.

German Mendoza, Senior Designer at Wimberly Interiors London, joined a panel discussion hosted by Hotel Designs' Editor, Sophie Harper and Michael Effenberger, Head of Business Development at BoConcept on the successful transition of high-end retail brands into the hospitality arena. During the roundtable, the group discussed their thoughts on high-end retail and luxury brands branching into the hospitality market to explore how the transition from one sector to another can be achieved successfully. "I think it’s super appealing to luxury brands to collaborate with hotels. For example, the St Regis has a Bentley suite which we did ages ago, and you see that often in serviced apartments. Often ultra luxury apartments will get in touch with hyper luxury brands to develop suites – it’s almost like a tester for luxury brands to get into the hospitality world without the full commitment of having to deliver the service."

Rob Sykes, Associate Principal, leads our Advisory team, providing pre-development advice to deliver hotel and branded residential schemes. He recently spoke with Richard Betts for Real Asset Live to discuss the future of the branded residential sector. “We’ve seen almost a perfect storm of market conditions, the evolution of the approach that hotel operators are taking to projects – through management agreements rather than owning their own assets. We’re also seeing consumers becoming more and more convinced that this is an interesting investment model, and clearly for developers there is a very strong economic rationale for exploring branded residential development.” Click here to listen to the full interview - https://hubs.ly/Q02L461Z0 #BrandedResidential #Residential #Advisory #Hospitality #Resorts #Investment #Architecture #Design

Baby Boomer Trends for Senior Living - A New Era of Vibrant and Tailored Experiences The Baby Boomer generation, the largest ever, brings a unique set of expectations and desires as they transition into their senior years. Unlike the Silent Generation, often characterized as thrifty, humble, and modest, Baby Boomers are known for their exacting, self-confident, and independent nature. Baby Boomer numbers in senior living communities are expected to double from today’s levels to 44.2 million by 2039. This presents an unprecedented opportunity to redefine senior living, moving away from an outdated perception of senior communities. By understanding and catering to the attitudes and cultures of Baby Boomers, the industry can create vibrant, enticing lifestyles that offer a variety of options and innovative experiences, ensuring a healthy and meaningful life for many years to come.

Mont Choisy La Reserve: Blending Urban Energy and Tranquil Biodiversity Mont Choisy La Reserve, currently under construction, will complement the vibrant offering around Grand Baie, offering residents an exclusive and private oasis. An array of landscape spaces will be provided within the development, underpinned by a central parkland and a unique rainwater swimmable lagoon. The intent of the landscape design is to create outdoor environments that can be enjoyed year-round and bring residents together in communal spaces, promoting a stronger sense of belonging and community. Tony Menezes, Associate Principal of Planning, joins Bhavesh Rishi Kinnoo, Development Executive at Mont Choisy Group to discuss the La Reserve development and its pivotal role as the central link between the established golf community and the forthcoming Smart City Masterplan. The discussion emphasizes the critical importance of urban planning that integrates with local landscapes, and how the thoughtful incorporation of Mauritian culture into the design aligns with the overarching objectives of the masterplan.
