This gorgeous modern apartment in the Upper West Side in Manhattan has gone green.  The 3,000 square foot home was remodeled by Hariri & Hariri and featured in Architectural Digest. “The architects… hooked up all the systems—heating, cooling, lighting, shades, humidity, audiovisual, computers and telephone—to a brainy computer hidden in a closet off the bar.”  A smart home, indeed.

It’s hard to get more art deco than Miami’s South Beach and the Delano is no exception.  This ultra-chic hotel caters to the modern palette with a perfectly landscaped yard, exquisite pool, gorgeous columned entryway and secluded cabanas.  The white motif is the definition of timeless.

What a refreshingly simple idea!  Plant your basil, rosemary and thyme and have it be easily accessible while you’re preparing your fresh and delicious fare.
