John Finton and the Temples of California - Haute Living

John Finton’s publicist is billing him as the Indiana Jones of building. At first, I wasn’t buying it. Sure, he is the man behind many of the spectacular homes of Hollywood insiders and Silicon Valley superstars. He even built the grand estates of some of our own Haute Living cover subjects. But Indiana Jones is a character that travels to the ends of the earth to uncover secret treasures, dodging danger and enemies along the way. Besides market fluctuations and the looming threat of workplace a...

The Riches of India - Haute Living

India has always been rich with culture, history, and class. As of late, the Asian nation is also rich with, well, riches. While the U.S. still holds the No. 1 rank as the country that the most billionaires call home (thanks to more than 450 residents with a net worth over the 10-figure mark), India is closing in fast, coming in at No. 4 with 53 total billionaires, behind Russia and Germany. In fact, four of the 10 wealthiest individuals in the world are proud to call India home.
While the natio...

Golden Door: Barausse S.p.A.'s Designs - Haute Living

The goal of this custom promotional feature on Italian luxury door company Barausse S.p.A. was simple: craft a compelling narrative that highlighted the brand’s craftsmanship, innovation, and design sensibility. The impact, however, went beyond expectations. A real estate developer planning a new luxury high-rise in downtown Miami read the piece, was intrigued, and reached out to the company. The result: Barausse doors were selected for all the building’s public spaces—a testament to the power of well-crafted content to drive real-world business decisions.

Kings of the Caribbean: Sol Kerzner, Gordon "Butch" Stewart, Andrew Farkas - Haute Living

A trip to Atlantis leaves little room for doubt that Sol Kerzner is the reigning king of destination resorts in the Caribbean. Haute Living had the opportunity to meet with the hotel magnate last summer just prior to the launch of The Cove, the new intimate resort on Kerzner’s own Paradise Island. During that time, the hotel magnate personally overlooked every detail of the opening, going so far as to rearrange cushions and request plants be moved in his quest to...

Tony Goldman is Soho Cool - Haute Living

To tell this whole tale would take up every page in a rather long book, a book that would surely enrapture everyone who cracked open its cover. This article, while attempting to shed some light on the topic at hand, will not even begin to scrape the surface of the intricate, intriguing, and inspiring life of its subject. That subject? Tony Goldman, founder and owner of Goldman Properties, a man known as an urbanist, a community developer, and an entrepreneur. Beyond that, Tony Goldman has been c...

Travel: Hamptons East End - Haute Living

The Hamptons continue to increase in popularity, and unfortunately, with popularity comes notoriety, and it seems as if everyone is trying to get in on the once-exclusive action. When you hear that train wreck Lindsay Lohan’s dad Michael Lohan (a train wreck himself) is opening a club in the Hamptons, it’s clear that the high-end East End has been raided by the masses. But don’t let that deter you from heading to the Hamptons this summer (or keep you hiding in the privacy of your home once you a...

The Soul of Napa Valley - Haute Living

Auction Napa Valley is more than just your typical wine festival. Sure, much like a typical festival, auction-goers get to imbibe their fair share of the fruits of the region and dine on expertly paired cuisine over the course of the weekend, but there are some key differences that set this celebration of wine apart from all others.
First, the setting. While the sands of Miami’s South Beach or the mountains of Colorado, may be pretty savory settings for trying out a montage of wines and...

Aby Rosen on The Art of Hospitality - Haute Living

To evaluate the true evolution of a city, one should start with the evolution of the hospitality options. Take, as a prime example, Miami Beach—South Beach to be exact. The young city was not even accessible by the masses just 100 years ago; Carl Fisher completed his bridge to the island in 1915, which is the same year that the city was officially incorporated. What followed was a slew of beachy retreats that embodied the seaside perch. Sophisticated? No. Kitschy? Yes.
As the city grew to become...
