Beasley & Henley

We love a fine wine, especially when it can be enjoyed in such an environment as this.  Welcome to Merus, a “designer” winery like no other. Located in the Napa Valley in California, Merus looks more like a well heeled restaurant than your average cellar-door retail outlet.

Exposed beams are the only nod to the past in this interior design strategy, which is thoroughly modern with a hint of Californian warmth.

Amsterdam-based Uxus Designis the architecture and design genius behind the winery in all of its splendor.

It’s been a busy year for Uxus, who have unveiled a number of other great retail design projects recently including the new Heineken ‘concept’ bars which will open in airports across the globe and one of Europe’s coolest McDonald’s play areas in Amsterdam. - Bill Tikos

A super-yacht, by definition, must be the pinnacle of glamour, impeccable design, and luxury.

The Mystic, by CMB Yachts, is a 15-foot luxury vessel built in Turkey.  Offering room for a company of up to ten guests, a total of five guest cabins can be found throughout Mystic’s deck. On the lower deck, four guest cabins are located, in a configuration of two doubles and two twins. Every guest cabin offers space and comfort in Mystic’s signature elegant style, framed by subtle oriental elements. Dark lacquered woods and upholstered leather throughout the bedrooms are some of the main design elements.

The en suite bathrooms of each guest cabin feature spacious showers, bidets and wash basins, with large windows assuring the flow of ample amounts of natural light.

The main saloon area, with its modern warmth enriched with stylish oriental elements, is spacious and welcoming. The bold lines framing the rooms are a stunning effect.

Beasley and Henley Interior Design has been selected to create interiors for the new Marquesa Royale luxury penthouse condominium model at Tiburón, a 943-acre resort community neighboring the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples.

Visitors to the new model may be overcome by a sudden desire for instant gratification. At least, that’s what interior designer Troy Beasley hopes.

“This home has an inviting environment that people will enjoy as they walk from room to room,” said Beasley, design principal at Beasley and Henley. “I want them to think, ‘This is fabulous, I could easily spend time here and I want to buy it.’”

Beasley and Henley, with offices in Naples and Winter Park, is creating a sophisticated, soft modern design throughout the three-bedroom home’s 2,900 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Its color palette of warm grays, tone-on-tone white and creamy neutrals and pops of bright, sunny gold will appeal to American and European buyers.

“It’s sophisticated and soothing, almost like a salon look,” said Beasley, who is accenting the space with an eclectic mix of modern abstract art, clean-lined furnishings, reproduction antiques, whimsical accent pieces and oversized prints on throw pillows and draperies. “The concept reflects a couple who travel and have collected items they love during their travels.” Beasley and Henley’s design also reflects today’s technology and the tendency for entertaining. Instead of a room-filling desk in the media room, the designer opted for a comfortable sofa and small desk. “Most people come to Naples to entertain friends and get away,” Beasley said. “They have laptops or iPads these days and don’t have to be hooked into the wall. They might go online for a few minutes to check email or stocks.”

In the kitchen, Beasley and Henley converted a storage area into a bar with an under-counter wine refrigerator, glass tile backsplash and upper cabinets with glass doors, an option offered to homebuyers through WCI’s Design Studio. “It’s the perfect spot for a cocktail area,” he said.

“The home’s main rooms are connected visually to make moving about feel natural and effortless,” Beasley added.

Urquiola is a big name in hotel interiors. This set of pics is from her work on a Barcelona, Spain hotel from the luxury hotel chain Mandarin Oriental. Architecture is by Carlos Ferrater and Juan Trias de Bes.

There are Oriental-inspired patterns and textures, and long, sleek lines. The greys, greens, browns, and creams are good, practical choices for a hotel because they inspire calm. Used correctly, they can look expensive, as well.

Every element of every room can have a designer touch. Even in the bathroom, where clutter can ruin even the most beautiful design.

The Breeze Rack, winner of a Red Dot design concept award, is a super-sleek and super-useful gadget for the bathroom. It combines the functions of a hair dryer, bathroom ventilator, tower dryer and sterilizer in the form of a tower rack. The hair dryer detaches from one end of the rack.

In space-saving, aesthetics, and functionality, the Breeze Rack is the perfect bathroom device.
