Million Air November-December 2018

The Corniche Penthouse, Albert Embankment, London, UK With this modern tower’s position right on a bend in the River Thames, you’d almost think you were suspended over the water. As you peer out through the curved glass walls of its Foster + Partners–designed penthouse, looking directly down the river in each direction, you can spot landmarks like the Houses of Parliament and London Eye. The Corniche Penthouse takes up the 25th and 26th floors of the tower, as well as commanding the entire rooftop terrace. Across its two floors, which cover 6,903 sq ft, you’ll find four bedrooms, living and dining areas to suit every occasion, and two kitchens — one for dining in and the other for behind-the-scenes culinary preparation. Each space is distinguished by its rounded walls, floor-to- ceiling windows and attention to detail. TG Studio took inspiration from the river for the design of its interiors, which combine a serene color palette of stone and taupe with tactile fabrics, wood and marble chosen for its water-like ripple effect. Details include a baby grand piano and temperature-controlled wine wall. Elsewhere in the building, residence amenities include an infinity pool, fitness center and spa. $28.3m.

The residences are a short drive from the resort and set on their own secluded stretch of coast. It’s here that six new oceanfront villas — each taking up around half an acre of the hillside overlooking the ocean — are currently being built by a firm recognized for its boutique hotel design, Coast Architects. The four- bedroom residence Gansevoort Villa 5107 covers 8,260 sq ft with an indoor-outdoor living concept and the use of Caicos stone to complement the blue of the infinity pool, sea and sky. From a private courtyard with covered lounge and pool, floor-to-ceiling glass doors open into a living room with views over the Caicos Banks and an oceanfront area with infinity pool, sunken firepit and lounge. Shuttles take residents between the villas and resort, making the restaurants and award- winning spa easy to reach. $4.4m.
