Stylish Porto Cervo. See you in Sardinia!

Working away on an interesting project in Porto Cervo where I am trying to be creative but the planning limitations are becoming quite challenging and I must admit, for good reasons!

Porto Cervo is a stunning Italian seaside village located on the Costa Smeralda of beautiful Sardinia. Only 421 residents but during the summer months it becomes the ‘place to be’ or at least the-place-to-be-seen. Stunning sailing boats, yachts with helipads, gorgeous girls and stylish guys, jewellery, expensive drinks by the beach and lots of photographs and tweets!

Porto Cervo was created by Prince Karim Aga Khan and a group of wealthy investors who in the 1950-1960s, aided by the creative imputs of architects and landscape designers such as Jacques Couelle, Luigi Vietti and Michele Busiri Vici, generated such a stunning resort.

In a study released by the European luxury real estate brokerage Engel & Völkers, Romazzino Bay in Porto Cervo is the most expensive location in Europe. House prices reach up to €300K per square meter. In 2011 Costa Smeralda had the second, the 4th and the 6th most expensive hotels in the world, the Pitrizza, the Romazzino and the Cala di Volpe Hotel. In 2012 the Hotel Cala di Volpe, which is featured in the 1977 James Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me” is listed at number  7 on World's 15 most expensive hotel suites complied by CNN Go in 2012. The presidential suite of the hotel billed at US$32,736 per night. (Font: Wikipedia)

MCMM is currently involved in the re-design of a restaurant located right in the heart of Porto Cervo. A tremendous opportunity and surely a fun experience. The new exclusive restaurant will be open in Summer 2015. We are currently cooperating with the local authority in order to generate . the best result in is such a precious setting.

Mediterranean lines, turquoise and calming whites will differentiate the extraordinary spot where you can be seated outside admiring the yachts and the emerald green sea while tasting the most amazing food. 

 

Am I see you there this Summer..?!?!

Waiting for EXPO 2015 in Milan, Italy!!

We've been soooo busy in the last few months! Extremely excited to work on a new project in Porto Cervo, Sardinia which is now taking me to Italy a lot more often!

 

During one of my recent trips I had the chance to re-visit Milan! What a gorgeous city full of life and tremendous expectations!

Milan is where the next International Exposition has been scheduled and the city is totally involved in getting everything ready for the grand opening on May 1st, 2015.

This is the second time that Milan is hosting the EXPO, the first being the Milan International of 1906.

 

The first of a series of World's Fair exhibitions of culture and industry was The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations or The Great Exhibition held  in Hyde Park, London, from May 1st to October 11th, 1851.

International Expositions became particularly popular in the 19th-century showcasing in cities like Paris, New York, Sydney.  

 

Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life is the theme of EXPO 2015. Representing and displaying how creativity, infrastructure, technology, innovation, culture, traditions relate to food, recipes and diet. Totally ideal for Italy where you can find some of the best design and top food!

 

20 millions visitors are expected to visit EXPO 2015 between May and October. The site located near Rho and Pero covers an area of approx. 200 hectares.

The concept plan for the Expo 2015 site was designed by a team of four architects which includes Stefano Boeri, Mark Rylander, Richard Burdett, and Jacques Herzog.

140 nations plus a significant number of international organizations will be represented through pavilions, an amphitheatre, design works, external spaces, artworks, food and new technologies.

 

The works on site is carrying out at speedy pace. Deadlines are getting tighter and tighter! I'm keeping track of the different projects and event updates following the official Twitter and Instagram accounts of EXPO 2015 @Expo2015Milano.

 

I'm so looking forward to buying my ticket and book my flight to Milan! Am I seeing you there..!??!

 

Ciao!
