Architect Jonathan Segal designed the Lemperle Residence on a narrow pie shaped oceanfront lot in La Jolla, California. This ocean front residence promotes an indoor/outdoor lifestyle through the use of expansive glass and deck areas. Due to the small pie shaped lot the architect focused all views toward the ocean. Every room above grade space frames a view of the Pacific Ocean through the use of vertical and horizontal planes and edges. These edges also create an air of privacy from the adjacent neighbors. When a designer is faced with site challenges this always creates an opportunity for experimentation in design; John Segal has succeeded, creatively adapting Lemperle Residence to site restrictions.

I had the amazing privilege to complete a bucket-list activity that I wanted to do for eons, and that was to fly with Seawings Dubai. I even sat in the cockpit "co-piloting." This once in a lifetime experience began from the Yas Viceroy Marina, Abu Dhabi travelling down the coast to Dubai. I flew in a seaplane over all the cities icons, and finally landed 40 minutes later at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. The staff was so pleasant, and the whole process was super-easy. I felt like James Bond for a moment…then I landed, and it was back to reality. Ha! Book your flight here.
Tired of going for the same look every summer? Well how about you try something a little different this season. I decided to make a summer resolution, to be bold and wear outfits I have never worn before. Now, some people are afraid to stand out, but me, I go all out!!
In the world of luxury, something that goes hand in hand with travel is food. One thing that the Curator and I can attest to is that broadening the palate and dining experiences are adventures in their own right. This column will focus on food, beverages, liquor and everything dining, as there is no cheaper way to explore the world then through a gustatory voyage.
