    Real Estate Update: What's Ahead for the Market?

    When home and apartment sales slow, the design world feels the effects. High mortgage rates, a lack of inventory, and the sky-rocketing costs of homes and apartments have all had a devastating effect. But with the Federal Reserve seeming to indicate a lowering of rates soon, is all that about to change? Will that unleash a flood of buyers? Or will prices continue to rise and the nation’s housing shortage only worsen? Three real estate experts—Leslie Singer in New York City, Rochelle Atlas Maize of Los Angeles, and Amanda Pendleton of Zillow—weigh in on local and national markets, what they see ahead, and the amenities that luxury buyers are searching for now.  Hosted on Acast.

    Has Social Media Replaced PR?

    How does a designer get their work seen and attract new clients? The power of print media has declined while, thanks to social media, every designer can easily put their work out into the world.

Three PR and marketing pros—Sarah Burningham, Roxanne Hanna, and Sarah Boyd—discuss how they navigate the on-going upheavals in the worlds of online and print media, what it takes to successfully guide their clients in everything from creating web sites and Tik-Tok videos to launching major designer books, and why their roles are likely to become only more important.

    How Smart Does a Home Need to Be?

    Technology has invaded every aspect of the home. Now even our refrigerators and doorbells are smart. But do we really need wi-fi enabled musical showerheads? How do you keep your clients’ homes up to date without succumbing to short-lived fads? What tech is essential—and what’s soon to be antiquated? Designers Beth Dotolo and Cynthia Ferguson and architect Charles Hilton weigh in on what tech is essential, what they steer clear of, why geo-thermal construction and electric car chargers are here to stay, and why smart gyms and golf simulators may be the next hot accessories.

    What’s the Future of Design Events?

    Design industry events and trade fairs are back—but are they still important? With designers busier than ever, should they allot the time and the money to go?

    What Makes For A Great Client Presentation?

    After all the meetings, consultations, and brainstorming sessions with clients, how do you convey that the plans and concepts you come up with will meet their needs and fulfill their dreams? How do you dazzle them so that they get inspired and excited—and write the checks necessary for the project to move ahead? Client presentations are crucial. Three highly successful practitioners of architecture and design—Michael G. Imber, Nina Farmer, and Gideon Mendelson—reveal how they use everything from watercolor images, detailed renderings, mood boards, software programs, and samples to illustrate their visions, what they learn throughout the process, and why each presentation needs to be as client-specific as the project itself.

    How Style is Revitalizing Palm Beach

    Palm Beach is undergoing a style renaissance, attracting new generations of bon vivants and design lovers. Nothing exemplifies this better than the resurgence of the Colony Hotel, which for generations served as a favorite getaway for royalty, movie stars, politicians, and wealthy tycoons. Under its new owners, the Colony, also known as the Pink Paradise, has turned to style setters Celerie Kemble, Aerin Lauder, Mark D. Sikes, and now Chairish, to create fresh takes on traditional Palm Beach style. To celebrate the launch of the Chairish Villa, Colony Hotel owner Sarah Wetenhall joins local designer Meg Braff, Isabel Elliman of Schumacher Hospitality, and Anna Brockway of Chairish to talk about the town’s new vitality, the latest direction in hospitality design, and why Chairish, Palm Beach, and the Colony are such ideal partners.
