never a better time to buy to let…
The outlook for buy to let investors and existing landlords for 2012 is certainly looking bright.For new or moving tenants however the picture isn’t quite so great. They are likely to see ashortage of properties to choose from and continued rent rises in 2012. This means one thing,the private rental sector (PRS) is an entity worth investing in. The private rental sector is alsolikely to be the main beneficiary of the decline in Social housing, another reason to considerthat second property.
A little history
When the economy took a nose dive in 2008, buy-to-let fell very quickly out of favour as many investors were heavilyin debt. The trend at that time was to take a huge mortgage with a minimum deposit, but values dropped and thisput some investors under pressure, particularly if their property fell vacant for any period of time or needed repair.However, things have changed...
2012 the year of opportunity
The time has now come to re-visit this sector of the market. Base rates are still extremely low and look set tocontinue, house prices appear stable and demand from the rental sector is soaring. There is much to consider andat Lawlors we have the expertise, established over many years, and excellent financial contacts to help you launchand build your portfolio.
We can help find a property, arrange the finance and secure a quality tenant and even manage the property for you, sono special expertise is required from you as the investor. Our local area has a consistent demand for properties suitableto let, as our proximity to London and ease of travel on the Central Line makes Chigwell, Loughton, Woodford andsurrounding areas easily commutable to the City.
New developments are springing up throughout the area and this could be a perfect opportunity for Landlords totake advantage of this new stock. Buy-to-let may not be for everybody as you may take comfort from a saferinvestment with long-term savings through banks etc. However, there is a lot to be gained by being involved inyour own investment and owning a tangible asset such as a property and one which you can personally improve ifyou wish over a period of time. We firmly believe that provided you take the view that your buy-to-let investment isa longer term plan for your retirement or nest egg; we believe this is an ideal time to invest.

THE WORLD OF
PATEK PH IL IPPE
To enter the world of Patek Phil ippe is
to discover a universe where the
exceptional is the rule. You are choosing a
watch whose technical perfection and
timeless aesthetic appeal ignore the years.
You are joining the circle of connoisseurs
for whom only the authentic and enduring
is truly beautiful .
Opposite: The Patek Philippe Seal – a hallmark of excellence.
33
We inherited our passion for supreme
workmanship, our respect for our client and our
care for the smallest detail from our two founders.
Polish-born aesthete Antoine Norbert de Patek
wanted to create the most beautiful watches in
the world. His partner, the brilliant inventor Jean-
Adrien Philippe, dreamed of pushing back the
frontiers of watchmaking technology. Together
they laid the foundations of an exacting
philosophy that perpetuates and invigorates
Geneva’s great watchmaking tradition.
From 1839 onwards, fuelled by the volume of
know-how passed down from generation to
generation and the ceaseless drive to innovate,
Patek Philippe has maintained its place at the
forefront of fine watchmaking. True to the
founders’ values, it has set its own way – always
focusing on the long-term view.
To give lasting expression to that philosophy
of quality and ensure that it is transmitted to
the watchmakers, engineers and artisans of
the future, Patek Philippe has created its own
quality hallmark. The Patek Philippe Seal goes
beyond the Swiss watchmaking industry’s
recognized criteria. It is the only hallmark
applying to the entire watch – the movement
and the external elements – from concept to
after-sales service, including the way it is built
and finished and the checking of its functions
and rate accuracy.
Our company’s independence and family
ownership enable us to guarantee that we
shall never compromise in terms of the
perfection of our watches. Having presided
over Patek Philippe’s destiny from father to
son since 1932, we ourselves have all grown
up in and with the manufacture. We bear
the genes of Patek Philippe and out
devotion to our mission within the company
reflects our resolute intention of passing
down this heritage to future generations,
just as our clients pass down their watch.
The passage from third to fourth generation
in autumn 2009* confirmed that the links
are as strong as ever.
As the guardians of the Patek Philippe quality
and spirit, we shall do everything required to
continue producing “the most beautiful
watches in the world”.

Surrey’s premier gallery exhibiting theSurrey’s premier gallery exhibiting the best of British contemporary fine art
of Art
An After several successful years in Wimbledon Village,
Caroline Burns decided to relocate her business,
Advocate Gallery to Ashtead, Surrey.
With a growing client base from Surrey, combined with living
and raising a family in the area, the time was right to make the
move. So when the perfect location presented itself, in the form
of the old bank in Ashtead, it was an easy decision.
“Historically banks hold a prominent position on the High
Street and are municipal in design. The building needed to
make a visual statement where the works of art can be easily
seen, as a lot of art is sold from the gallery window,” says
Caroline.
Employing the highly acclaimed architect Richard Gardiner
to draw up the plans for the space and project manage the
works meant Caroline’s vision to create a modern environment
which reflects the best of British contemporary fine art, was
made a reality.
Richard’s first priority was letting light into the building, this
was achieved by incorporating a full length glazed front and
two new display windows on the side wall, thus creating a dual
aspect frontage where work can be displayed in The Street as
well as in Grove Road and flooding the gallery with light.
But not everything was quite so straight forward, when it
came to the bank’s vault, structurally it was impossible to
remove as it has 3ft thick walls of reinforced high-density
concrete! But a solution was not too far away; it has been
opened up on two sides to create a darkened viewing area
featuring large subtle works that are muted in colour.
Crucial to achieving the overall ambience, it was essential
that everything in the building was black, white or glass, the
main design components seen in framing. Interior design
features, such as glass shelving, white furniture and lighting all
needed to compliment this and not detract from the artwork.
With her extensive experience of what customers like,
Caroline knew exactly the atmosphere that she wanted to
create, an art gallery that you don’t feel intimidated to walk into
or pressurized once inside; where you don’t need to know
anything about the "art-world" but simply know what you like.
“It’s important that when clients walk into the gallery they
are not ‘hit’ by a sales person, that they can browse an
exhibition and look for that perfect genuine piece of art, that
they connect with, at their own pace.”
Advocate Gallery aims to be the premier gallery in Surrey
specialising in the best of British contemporary fine art.
Establishing good relationships with those artists that they
exhibit is key to their success, enabling Caroline to select the
newest works first and in turn offer exclusivity to her clients.
“Exhibiting British art is something I feel strongly about,
there’s amazing talent in this country and to be able to
showcase the best of it is very rewarding. I have always been
passionate about art and want the gallery to reflect this."
37
By not importing work, dealing in
reproductions or trading with mass market
suppliers, Advocate Gallery can offer
something unique to its clients.
Over the coming months the gallery will
be home to an ever-changing programme
of exciting exhibitions from established
artists, such as celebrated landscape
painter Chris Rigby. After painting the
rugged moors and mountains of north
England and Scotland, Chris had turned his
attention to the Surrey Hills. A selection of
his new work, an exploration of the Surrey
landscape, will be displayed exclusively at
the gallery this autumn.
Premiering new artists is also an area that
Caroline is dedicated to, “we are proud of
the fact that we have launched several
artists’ careers who are now enormously
successful today”.
It’s always preferable for a client to view
the work in person before making their
purchase, but with the busy lifestyles we all
lead this can sometimes be tricky. Advocate
Gallery can provide out of hours viewing at
the gallery or in your home. If you’re
hesitating about a purchase, work can be
loaned for a period so that you have time to
see how the piece works in different light and
in different hanging places.
In today’s financial climate, many clients
are also looking to invest shrewdly. Unlike
most luxury purchases that date and de-value
as trends pass, if you choose wisely, art can
work in exactly the opposite way. Advocate
Gallery is happy to guide you through the
process, “I am thrilled when my clients’
remark that not only does a piece continue to
give them great enjoyment, but they have
learnt that it is now proving to be a healthy
investment,” says Caroline.
Commissioning art is a growing area,
owning a piece of original art that has been
created for you is simply magical. Advocate
Gallery are very experienced in arranging a
commission for you, after all it's their business
to get it right!
Capturing a moment on canvas and
portraying a mood using the subtleties of an
artist's technique means you can have the
ultimate gift or family treasure created
exclusively for you. When a client visited with
a photograph from their honeymoon in the
French Alps, Candice Tait was the perfect
artist to translate this onto canvas by
capturing the wild energy and beauty of the
landscape. The result, a stunning work of art
that will be treasured forever.
“We’re extremely excited about relocating
to Surrey, not only will we be nearer to many
of our current clients, but are looking
forward to forming new relationships in and
around the area. I think we’ve created a
welcoming space in which to showcase our
works of art. I certainly enjoy walking into the
gallery everyday and hope others will too,”
says Caroline.
Conveniently located on the A24, between
Leatherhead and Epsom and close to Epsom
Racecourse and the RAC Club, there is ample
free parking for visitors.
Advocate Gallery grew out of Advocate
Art the leading artist agency, over 10 years
ago. Advocate Art was founded by Edward
Burns in 1992, starting out as an artist’s co-
operative, the business has grown into one
of the world’s leading artist’s agencies. Find

������������� ������� ��������� ���������� Elizabeth Baxendale travels to Lavenham in Suffolk to meet world-famous celebrity chef,restaurateur and television personality Marco Pierre White as The Angel at Lavenham opensits doors to become the latest Marco Pierre White Wheeler's of St. James's venue.
Mesmeric, magnetic, totally charismatic and attractively
dishevelled... yes it did not take his spell too long to work its magic!
At the time the youngest chef ever (aged 33 years)
to be awarded three Michelin stars, Marco Pierre White has gone
on to become a world-famous celebrity chef, restaurateur and
television personality. Noted as much for his fiery and
tempestuous personality as for his contributions to
contemporary international cuisine and his quite exceptional
culinary skills, Marco realised his dream to replicate one of the
great French restaurants at a still relatively young age.
“I opened my first restaurant in January 1987. In 1988 I got
awarded my first Michelin star. In 1990 I got my second. And in
January 1995 I got my third.”
On Thursday 15th September 2011 The Angel at Lavenham in
Suffolk opened its doors to celebrate its launch as Marco Pierre
White’s latest Wheeler’s of St. James’s venue and to raise
money at the same time for the most worthy of causes, the
charity ‘Help for Heroes’.
In November 2009 Marco flew to Afghanistan to cook an early
Christmas dinner for our troops on the front line, an oft-
unreported and little recognised fact. “It was a life-changing
experience,” he said at the time. “It was a very sad place and it
does move you. I decided to make the trip after visiting Basra
in Iraq in 2008. It was very much a morale-boosting trip,
cooking for 80 squaddies and handing out gifts. I also
presented a bravery award to bomb disposal heroes in Helmand
Province.” ‘Help for Heroes’ is indeed a cause which remains
close to Marco’s heart.

The Angel, an impressive Grade II listed building situated on the
corner of one of undoubtedly the most beautiful and tranquil
market squares in the country, was just one of the gems which
attracted Marco to put in a bid to purchase the portfolio of six
pub/hotel/restaurant businesses in Suffolk, Norfolk and Wiltshire,
all of which he successfully acquired from the Administrators of
the Maypole Group in March 2011. Marco’s acquisition of the six
businesses was a fantastic and very welcome result during what
was a particularly stressful and uncertain time for the Group’s
200-plus Eastern Region-based employees.
With refurbishments now also well-underway at The Lifeboat Inn
and The Old Coach House at Thornham in Norfolk (both sites
remaining open and with disturbance kept to a minimum, their
official launch nights planned for Spring 2012), Marco, as is
characteristic of him, is giving much of his time, passion and
energy in creating lovely environments in which visitors and
locals alike can eat, drink and be merry.
If the Lavenham locals thought Marco would be simply just a
name above the front door then they were very much mistaken.
He has become a part of the local community and it very
evidently gives everyone a real lift to see him walking about
both The Angel and Lavenham itself, affably rubbing shoulders
with all and sharing a glass or two when he has time.
The restaurant at The Angel now boasts a revamped and stylish
interior, the walls adorned with Marco’s own extensive collection
of JAKS and David Hughes bright cartoons and caricatures.
Elegant tables are dressed in warm antique lace exuding
affordable glamour.
Under Marco’s expert care and nurturing tutelage his young,
enthusiastic but experienced team, such as the very affable and
attentive Yorkshire-born General Manager Emma Bennett and
efficient and talented Head Chef Adam Pickard, are relishing the
opportunity of working with him and rising to the daily
challenges his high expectations present.
Says Emma, the perfect Front of House appointment for The
Angel, a girl with the ability to make one feel at ease and
welcome the minute one walks through the door, “To work with
someone like Marco is like a dream come true for me. To be able
to be part of something which is so brand new, to be able to
influence decisions and to see your ideas and thoughts evolving
and respected is incredibly exciting. I am still pinching myself!
He has such high standards and knows exactly what he wants.
It is very hard work but equally the past few months have been
so rewarding.”

The Angel offers quintessential yet affordable Marco Pierre White
dishes alongside fine wines and cask ales. Indulgencies such as
Parfait of Foie Gras, Raisin Sec en Gelée de Madère and Quail’s
Eggs Maintenon avec Sauce Hollandaise, Grilled Dover Sole à la
Salamander with Sauce Tartare and Creamed Potatoes as well as
the Wheeler’s of St. James’s renowned Classic Fish Pie with
Buttered Garden Peas. There is always an abundant selection of
delicious crowd-pleaser puddings as well as a choice of the finest
English Cheeses served with Branston Pickle. And should anyone
wish to stay a little longer, there is competitively-priced en-suite
accommodation waiting to be taken advantage of and enjoyed.
Marco’s quality table d’hôte menu is packed full of
the best Marco Pierre White Wheeler’s of St. James’s staples,
currently priced at £13.50 for two courses or £16.50 for three!
The Angel’s stunning Wheeler’s Sunday Lunch three-course
menu is even more fantastic value at £21.95! Or try the Wheeler’s
Sunday Supper which includes dishes like Omelette Arnold
Bennett with Sauce Mornay for Starters, Main Courses such as
South Downs Lamb with Gratin Dauphinoise or the absolute
classic Wheeler’s of St. James’s Fish & Chips.

The exceptional value-for-money and hospitality experience
which Marco is bringing to the table with his Wheeler’s of St.
James’s Inns is surprising many. So surprising in fact that guests
return as well as spread the word. The formidable and reliable
brands of Marco Pierre White and Wheeler’s of St. James’s,
combined with the experience and professionalism of a top
management team, create unique and exciting opportunities for
everyone involved in the new Horatio Inns Group of pubs, hotels
and restaurants.
It is clear that Marco makes many of his decisions based on
personal taste. He favours real ales and ciders to lager and, whilst
he encourages his chefs to source local ingredients wherever
possible, quality remains paramount.
At the launch party for The Angel barrels of Marco’s own ale,
The Governor, were enjoyed well into the night (as were
copious amounts of bubbly!)... possibly accounting for the
fantastic atmosphere both inside and outside the building!
Unlike many of his contemporaries Marco controls the entire
operation from the various teams involved to the artwork on the
walls. Every dish which appears on a Wheeler’s menu is his own
creation. Known in the trade as The Godfather, Marco is
relentless in his mission for spotting and fostering talent, innate
talent such as that displayed every time I chat with Emma!
The new Horatio Inns Group, despite still being very much in its
infancy, is already making its mark in the Eastern counties and
Marco, together with his invaluable management team, are
working long hours to make the new business both viable and
profitable by ensuring that only the best staffing teams are put
in place at each of the Group’s six pub/hotel/restaurants (five in
Norfolk and Suffolk and one in Wiltshire).

Group Operations Director Tristan McEwan comments “We are
all fired up and ready to put these four fantastic venues in
particular back on the map and we are really looking forward
to getting them all started but please bear with us a little while
longer as we make the necessary improvements which might
just occasionally involve a little dust and chaos!”
• The Angel Hotel, Lavenham, Suffolk
• The Lifeboat Inn, Thornham, Norfolk
• The Old Coach House, Thornham, Norfolk
• The Pear Tree Inn, Whitley, Wiltshire
The long-term vision for Horatio Inns is to develop a portfolio
of freehold premium country inns and small boutique hotels
across the UK. At least four out of the first six will be trading
under the established Wheeler’s of St. James’s brand with all
six in time completely refurbished to reflect the unique
personality and style of Marco Pierre White.
One girl left Lavenham that night impressed, entranced and
perhaps even enthralled not only by the enfant terrible himself
but by having met with the most charming of gentlemen, a
culinary genius and a true professional. Yes Marco has
exceptionally high standards, yes he knows exactly what he wants
and yes he knows exactly how he is going to get what he wants!

Oyster 100

M A K E T H E WO R L D YO U R
OYST E R !The UK’s most successful builder of large series-produced cruising yachts, Oyster have more than earned
their well-deserved worldwide reputation for quality and luxury. Now for the first Oyster Superyacht!
which successfully completed her sailing trials aheadof handover to her owners in October. Sarafin'slaunch marks the successful conclusion of the firstphase of a long-term project, which has broughttogether the strong, award-winning trio of DuboisNaval Architects, Oyster Group and RMK Marine.
This combined experience has produced aSuperyacht that matches the best in the world andoffers every customer the opportunity to enjoy thesmoothest process available for getting afloat,providing a sophisticated entry into Superyachtownership. The concept, launched in the heyday ofthe pre-recession world, is even more appropriatetoday; building a one-off custom superyacht is achallenging venture. The market, during recession,has seen the determined buyer move larger, into 50m- 100m sailing yacht projects. The Oyster-Dubois-RMK series-produced offering of the Oyster 100 andOyster 125 gives a purchaser, who wants a morepredictable and faster means of owning a provenSuperyacht, a less time-demanding (during build)solution of getting afloat.
Oyster’s head office is based in Suffolk withoffices in the USA, Germany and now most recentlythe Mediterranean. Oyster also work with a numberof respected marine industry professionals in Asia,Italy and Russia who act as company representatives.
Founded in 1973, Oyster Marine haveestablished themselves as international marketleaders of world-class cruising yachts. With theirdistinctive Deck Saloon design, Oyster yachts arerecognised throughout the sailing world for quality,comfort and performance.
Frequently seen sailing the River Orwell en routeto the Oyster commissioning marina, these daysaround half of their new construction is for existingowners. This loyalty sends a strong message to newcustomers thinking of joining what they like to referto as ‘the Oyster family’.
Owning an Oyster is almost a right of passage.A passport to that ‘special place’ in life where you cantruly relax and enjoy yourself to the full.
In fact, the Oyster ownership experience is like noother because, for nearly forty years, Oyster Marinehas built more than 1400 yachts for people with thedesire and ambition to live their own personal dreamon the water. Each with a passion for sailing, a spiritof adventure, a real enjoyment of family activities,strong friendships and good living, not to mention akeen appreciation of the very finest in craftsmanshipand luxury. Of course, sea-kindly handling, sparklingperformance and ocean-proven cruising ability areother attractions within this seductive mix.
As a result, the Oyster marque is now widely-recognised and respected around the world, not only
for the uniqueness of its deck saloon designs, but forunmatched build quality, supreme performance anda quite outstanding level of customer communicationand after-sales support.
Oyster originally introduced the term DeckSaloon to the nautical vocabulary and, although theconcept has since been widely emulated, they are stillthe unchallenged leaders nearly four decades later.Rob Humphreys, one of Britain’s best known andlongest-established naval architects, is responsiblefor all the yachts in the Oyster range from the 46 tothe new 885, whilst with the new Oyster Superyachts,the 100 and 125, Ed Dubois, acknowledged as one ofthe world’s foremost Superyacht designers, was anobvious choice to lead the Oyster team in thedevelopment of the ultimate Oysters.
From the very beginning, Oyster’s mission hasbeen to build an international reputation for supremestandards of design and build, blended withoutstanding levels of customer service and after-sales support. The pursuit of true excellence is anever-ending voyage, but one to which Oyster istotally committed. When you choose an Oyster, youchoose excellence - not mere quality.
Today’s Oysters are very different to the yachtsbuilt over 35 years ago, but the core values ofstrength, seaworthiness and a multitude of practical,seamanlike features remain, testament to theexperience gained from sailing hundreds ofthousands of miles in Oyster yachts.
Launch of the first Oyster Superyacht - OYSTER 100
Oyster Marine have launched their much-anticipated first Oyster Superyacht, 100-01 Sarafin,

The all-important relationship between designerand builder is crucial to the success of any project.We now have over 50 yachts afloat of 100ft and overin the world, and this experience combines with thatof the best shipyards to keep the quality at the top.
We are therefore delighted that Oyster havejoined this club and we look forward with confidence and excitement to see the Oyster 125 also reaching completion."
Ufuk Güçlü, General Manager at RMK shipyard said:
"RMK Marine has always believed in the benefitsof this unique partnership. It is a very specialopportunity to work with Dubois and Oyster and it isvery satisfying the potential has been realised.Working closely together as a team, each party hasbrought its own special contribution to the endproduct and through this teamwork we are providingwonderful yachts for the clients. We are certain thatthis team will continue to enjoy success together.
For RMK Marine, our aim is always to provideuncompromising quality and craftsmanship. Havingcompleted our first Oyster yacht in composite, we areproud to have built in all the major build materialsused in the superyacht sector, including steel,aluminium and now composites for both motor andsailing yachts, which demonstrates the unusually widecapability of the RMK yard. We will keep on pushingforward and aim to deliver superb quality yachts toour clients and we look forward to launching the nextOyster superyacht in the near future."
Oyster would like to thank all its suppliers for theirhelp in developing the Oyster Superyachts, inparticular North Sails, Lewmar and Hall Spars.
www.oystermarine.com
By selecting a series-produced yacht, ownersshare the benefits of proven design, construction andengineering, and can devote their attention tostamping their individuality on the interior. Oyster'scommitment to build these superyachts to Lloyds+100A1 G6 MCH and MCA LY2 classification, the moststringent in the world guaranteeing the structuralintegrity and engineering of each yacht, is not onlythe highest endorsement of the Oyster Superyachtfleet's quality of construction, but underpins thecontinued value of each owner's investment.
The Oyster 100 is designed with the specification,features and classification of very much larger yachts.The standard accommodation layout offers threestaterooms aft and two crew cabins forward.
A raised saloon offers a panoramic view andleads forward and down to a more intimate loungeand separate dining area. Forward of the main livingarea is the crew mess, galley and two crew cabins. Asix-cabin variant is also available, offering a fourthdouble guest cabin forward, in addition to the twocrew cabins.
Sarafin will spend some time in Palma, Mallorcabefore heading for a winter season in the Caribbean.She is expected to take part in the St Barth's BucketRegatta in March 2012.
Oyster CEO, David Tydeman commented:
"Oyster Group is world renowned for itscraftsmen built and solidly engineered blue-watercruising yachts. What is less well known is that Oysteralso owns Southampton Yacht Services, a yardspecialising in classic Superyacht refit and
refurbishment. Oyster Group was already in the'Superyacht market' prior to the launch of the Oyster100 and 125, and by teaming up with Dubois andleading shipyard RMK Marine, builders of the awardwinning 52m ketch, Nazenin V, has given us theopportunity to challenge all parts of Oyster Groupand pull together its hidden talents.
Of course, creating such a start-up in the currentglobal economic conditions, has been a toughchallenge, which we've risen above and delivered. I'mintensely proud and somewhat in awe of the Oysterand RMK team who has made this happen in the faceof regular scepticism from the established marketwho naturally want to resist a newcomer!
The Oyster 100 is not simply a large Oyster 82,we have raised our game and risen to the challenge,entering the premier league of engineering andshipbuilding large yachts. The new Oyster 885, whichwill be on the water in 2012, illustrates that what weare learning from entering the Superyacht market isalready enabling Oyster to enhance our whole range– from the Oyster 46 to the Oyster 125."
Ed Dubois writes after visiting the completedOyster 100-01:
"I was very happy as I left the shipyard in Istanbul,having seen the first completed Oyster 100. It iswonderful how Oyster have managed to combinetheir reputation for building strong, seaworthy craftwith the quality and finish that is now expected in thebest sailing Superyachts. As designers, we are ofcourse full of admiration for the builders of our craftand at the same time very particular about who wework with.

INTERNATIONALLY-RENOWNED ARTIST
ANNA BOULTONwe ask what makes her t ick?
Enticed by the oceans, Anna Boulton captures the thrill of racing in her paintings. A keen sailor from a young age, she has nowfinally got the chance to combine her love for art and sailing. Currently based in Antigua (West Indies) and England, Anna is
regularly commissioned by yacht owners to produce paintings of (and for the interiors of) their boats.
Oil on Canvas - Stormy Catlins Beach, NZ
What inspired you at university?During my degree course, I spent time at the Accademia di Belle Arte in Venicewhere I fell completely under the spell ofVenice and, seeing the super yachts mooredoff the Piazza San Marco, I knew I had to beinvolved with boats and the sea again.
Did you go back to Venice afteryou graduated?Yes, as soon as I completed my degree Ireturned there to do an internship at thePeggy Guggenheim Art Museum where Iexpanded my knowledge of earlytwentieth century art and spent much ofmy time photographing the architectureand canals of the city.
How did you get involved with sailing? My early years were spent in the Middle
East on the shores of the Arabian Gulf
where I learnt to swim and surf almost as
soon as I could walk. When I was eight
years old, my parents bought me a little
single-handed sailing boat (a “Topper”)
and by the time I was nine I was racing
with the other expatriate children in and
out of the harbour.
Were your parents keen sailors?Yes, they both raced high-tech catamarans
very successfully, competing in a number
of international championships.
Have you sailed competitively? I spent my teenage years living around
Chichester Harbour where every summer
I would race dinghies at Itchenor and
Bosham Sailing Clubs and at Cowes on the
Isle of Wight.
Do you still participate in racing?Yes, I recently had the great pleasure
of racing aboard the beautiful sailing

Regatta.
What encouraged you to paint andwhere did you learn?From an early age the warmth and
stunning colours of the Arabian Gulf and
the sight of the old sailing dhows
sparked off a great affinity with the sea.
It was always clear to me that art was
the direction I wanted to follow. I gained
a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Falmouth
College of Art and Design.

Your portraits are stunning. Do youexperiment with different techniques inyour paintings?I work predominantly in oil on canvas or
wood and, for my abstract work, acrylic and
mixed media, throwing in the odd piece of
Kevlar sailcloth.
In New Zealand I produced a number of
paintings based on the America’s Cup yachts
and was very happy to be given an old
America’s Cup sail to incorporate into the
work. In this series I experimented with light
reflecting paint to recreate the effect of light
as it touches the sails and the sea. These
paintings change dramatically as light hits the
surface from different angles. I also like to try
new techniques on canvas, such as adding
and overlaying structures of the yachts.
And what would you say your crucial aimis in your work? The sea remains a constant theme
throughout my work and I aim, in particular,
to portray the thrill and excitement of the
race, with hulls smashing through the waves
and spray flying across the canvas.

first commission. From then on I followed
the yachts from the Antipodes to the
Mediterranean and the Caribbean, moving
with the seasons and painting yachts in
some stunning locations.
You’re extremely well travelled! Whereare you currently based? I know I’ve been lucky to have seen the
places I’ve seen. I am currently based in
Antigua but during the summer of 2011
I was painting in Palma (Mallorca). At
the end of September 2011 I was in
St Tropez for the Classic Yacht Regatta,
photographing and crewing on the
beautiful sailing yachts that race in the
Mediterranean. I plan to put together a
body of work over the next year based on
the photographs I took there.
Have you exhibited your work?Early in 2011 I set up a studio in Antigua,
West Indies where I exhibited in the
prestigious Jumby Bay Resort. I was also
invited to be a sponsor for the Super Yacht
Regatta in the British Virgin Islands where I
presented one of my paintings as a prize.
I am due to have solo exhibitions at
Harmony Hall in Antigua at the beginning
of January 2012 and again at Jumby Bay.
How did you become a professional painter?After Venice, I spent several years crewing
on yachts around the world, but art was
always in the back of my mind and, when I
had saved enough money, I set up a studio
in Queenstown, New Zealand, where I began
painting in earnest, inspired by the fabulous
scenery of the South Island. There I found a
lucrative market in painting lakes and
mountains for tourists and in producing
portraits of local people’s dogs with an
occasional farmer’s prize sheep! It was at this
stage I found I could make a living purely by
painting. My confidence grew and I was
approached by various galleries wanting to
display my work.
Why did you leave Queenstown, New Zealand?After four years in Queenstown, even
though I was inspired by the spectacular
lakes and mountains of the South Island, I
missed the sea and sailing, so I headed for
Auckland in the North Island.
When were you first commissioned topaint a ‘yacht portrait’?When I arrived in Auckland I caught up
with the yachting fraternity again and it
was whilst I was there that I received my

RON ARAD ArchitectsRon Arad Architects was
established as an independent
practice in May 2008, branching
out as a daughter company of
the long established design
studio Ron Arad Associates.
The two studios share the same building
in Chalk Farm in London, and enjoy the
frequent overlap of interests, activities
and knowledge this proximity offers. The
practice comprises a team of 10 architects
and architectural assistants, under the
directorship of Ron Arad, Caroline Thorman
and Asa Bruno, and has recently completed
two new-built works; the Mediacité in Liege
and the Design Museum Holon in Israel.
Ron Arad Architects’ thinking, form-finding,
volumetric design and realisation draws on
resources and materials that have been at the
source of experimentation by the practice
Blueprint, Architectural Digest, Mark Magazine,
Building Design, Interni, to editorial coverage in
the New York Times, Time Magazine and The
Independent, to name a few.
Born in 1951 in Tel Aviv, and educated at
Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in
Jerusalem, and later at the Architectural
Association in London, Ron Arad co-founded
the Covent-Garden-based One Off Studio with
Caroline Thorman in 1981, and later the design
and architectural practice Ron Arad Associates
in 1989. In 2008, Ron Arad Architects was
established to cater for the expanding
architectural activities of the studio.
Ron Arad’s constant experimentation with
the use and potential of material and form,
and the radical questioning of the limits of
structure, discipline and convention in the
making of studio pieces, art and architecture,
has placed him at the forefront of
contemporary creative culture.
Over 3 decades, Ron Arad has also held
various influential academic roles around
Europe, and until last year, acted as Professor
and head of the Design Products department
at the Royal College of Art in London.
Ron’s work is represented by numerous
galleries around the world, and regularly
features in Art Basel, Frieze and other
renowned international art fairs and auction
houses worldwide.
since its inception in 1981 as ‘One-Off Studio.’
The experimentation with and questioning of
the limits of construction engineering, the
celebration of the integrity and character of
the materials employed in projects, and the
often radical re-conception of form, are key to
the activities of the practice. Supporting this,
they have extensive experience working at
both the large and small scale around the
world, and have extensive knowledge of the
challenges and opportunities that need to be
addressed in architectural projects. They
create cohesive solutions that connect people
to the built environment through the synthesis
of the small with the large; from the small
scale of furniture and public art, through to
the large scale of the building.
Ron Arad Architects think imaginatively and
inventively about the design of public places
and buildings and work collaboratively to
ensure that solutions fit with their clients’ vision
and the sites’ constraints and opportunities.
A number of projects are currently at
tender stage and are due to go on site in the
course of 2011, with 154 Ha Yarkon Street
being the first. The practice is currently
working on a number of new projects in
France, Italy, Belgium, Israel, Morocco. and the
UK. The practice’s work has also recently
been showcased as part of the Ron Arad: No
Discipline exhibitions at the Centre Georges
Pompidou in Paris (November 2008) and the
Museum of Modern Art, New York, which was
the most visited architecture and design
exhibition worldwide in 2009. Most recently
the ‘Restless’ exhibition at the Barbican
Centre in London showcased a diverse
collection of industrial design, studio pieces
and architectural projects. Further exhibitions
are scheduled for the Stedelijk Museum,
Amsterdam (2011) and the DMH Israel (2012).
The prolific and pioneering work carried
out by the combined Ron Arad Studio over
3 decades in the fields of design, art and
architecture, has culminated in a series of
high-profile retrospective exhibitions at the
Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (No
Discipline, 2008), Museum of Modern Art in
New York (No Discipline, 2009), and at the
Barbican Centre in London (Restless, 2010).
Combined, these have attracted over a million
visitors, and have broken longstanding
attendance and ticket sale records in the field.
The recent completion of both the
Mediacité project in Belgium, and the Design
Museum Holon in Israel has enjoyed extensive
and enthusiastic coverage in the media, from
international television coverage in the BBC
and ABC News, to lifestyle magazines such as
Vogue, Wallpaper, Elle Decoration, Glamour,
Grazia and Numéro to architecture, art and
design publications such as ArtNews,

AN INTRODUCTION TO SMARTHOME TECHNOLOGY
Smart Home Technology is a very broad subject, but in this
guide we will cover some of the main benefits that a smart
home system can bring to your property.
In short, Smart Home Technology is the art of providing an
easy to use and intuitive interface to control every aspect of
your home. This can be done manually upon user command,
or can be automated when certain parameters are met.
With the advances in technology, it is now easier than ever to
take full control of your home from in wall and wireless touch
panels, your smart phone or even remotely via the internet
from the other side of the world.
We could fill pages about the possibilities of what smart home
technology can offer, as it gives you the ability to do pretty
much anything you desire, but below are some of the more
common applications.
Multi Room Audio
Multi room audio is all about giving you the flexibility to listen to
what you want, where you want, and when you want. So, for
instance, if you are in the kitchen and would like to listen to Radio
4, you could simply use a wall mounted touch panel to select
this as your chosen audio and it will instantly fill the room with
rich, warm sound through discreet in ceiling speakers.
At the same time, someone may be relaxing in the bath and
want to listen to a new album that has just been released. Even
if you have never purchased or owned this album, the latest
technology will allow you to search for any album, artist or genre
from online music services and stream it straight to that room.
This effectively gives you a CD collection of almost all the music
ever recorded in the world! You can listen to different music at
different volumes in different rooms all at the same time.
Multi Room Video
A multi room video system will allow you to put all of your
video sources (Sky boxes, Blu Ray Players, Movie Servers etc)
in one centralised hub that can be concealed out of sight. This
not only reduces the clutter of having video components in
every room of the house, but also gives you the flexibility of
being able to watch and control any of the video sources from
any TV. One benefit of this is the ability to assign a personal
Sky/Cable box to each member of the family so that your
teenagers don’t end up filling up your Sky plus with endless
hours of “Pimp my Ride”.
Intelligent Lighting
An intelligent lighting system gives you the ability to perform
various advanced features as well as some practical ones that
can both save energy and provide additional security. Some of
these benefits are:
• The ability to set scenes to suit various moods and activities
such as “Dinner Party” and “Cleaning” scenes.
• “All off” function for when you are leaving the premises or
going to bed.
• Holiday Mode that will reflect you normal lighting routine
whilst you are away to deter burglary.
• Can be set to operate all circuits at a maximum of 90% of full
power which will double the lifespan of standard light bulbs.
• Can be programmed to show a low level “Lightpath” to assist
young children in finding the bathroom at night.
• Will integrate with your fire/security system to turn all lights
on in the event of an alarm being triggered.
HVAC Control
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning and
gives you the ability to manually control the comfort settings
of your home or have the house intelligently and automatically
do this for you. It can also work in conjunction with other
aspects of the Smart Home, such as closing blinds in sunny
weather to keep rooms cool rather than let an expensive to run
air conditioning system fight against the sun’s rays.
Home Cinema
This is probably one of the most prominent smart home
upgrades and, with the arrival of 3D High Definition is now
more popular than ever. Systems can cost from £5000 for a
basic flatscreen and surround sound set up and rise to well
over £250,000 for a full THX reference quality screening room
with all the bells and whistles. When teamed with a control
system such as Control4 or Crestron, a cinema room can also
perform intelligently. With one button press, the lights can dim,
curtains close and the control system will set all equipment to
the correct settings and start your movie. If you pause the
movie, lights can come up to a predetermined level to allow
viewers to easily navigate their way to the fridge for
refreshments. As this is one area where the cost range is so
expansive and you really do get what you pay for, it is
important to ensure that you speak to a specialist installation
company who can explain and demonstrate what you get at
different levels of expenditure.
Security & CCTV
Integrating a home control system with your security system
has many advantages. It will allow an alarm to trigger other
home systems to activate such as turning all lights on and the
system can even be programmed to alert the owner by SMS
text or email that an alarm has been triggered. You can also
view your security cameras from any TV in the house or even
via your smartphone or laptop from anywhere in the world.
Gate and door entry systems can also be incorporated into
your Smart Home system. When a visitor presses a call button
on the gate entry unit, the system can bring up two way
audio/video interaction with the visitor from in wall
touchpanels and even wireless touchpanels. This will allow you
to vet visitors before giving them access to your property.
Conclusion
With the rapid advance in technology, Smart Home systems
are now more desirable, flexible and easy to use than ever. Not
only do they provide their owners with a wealth of multimedia
entertainment opportunities, but they also give real world
lifestyle, comfort and energy saving benefits.
When choosing a supplier for any aspect of your Smart Home
System, we advise that you make sure that they are an
accredited member of CEDIA, the Custom Electronics Design
and Integration Association. This will ensure your solution
provider complies to a rigorous set of standards required by
the industry and that they have the knowledge and
experience to advise you correctly and install your perfect
digital home system.
If you would like to ask any questions or receive further
information about Smart Home Solutions, we have teamed up
with the Award Winning, long term CEDIA members Lime

Bartholomew Landscaping were appointed as
design and build contractors after being
recommended to our client by their Architect
Marc Deaves.
After purchasing the adjacent property
and completing a refurbishment of their
newly combined buildings to an extremely
high standard, our clients then turned their
attention to the neglected patio garden.
Bartholomew’s brief was to reflect the
quality of the interior while creating a stylish
entertainment area, which was ultimately low
maintenance.
With the removal of the dividing wall, the
new walled garden extended across the
combined width of the entire building, which
enabled it to be viewed and accessed from
the kitchen and main reception room via
double doors opening directly into the space.
Additional access was also created from a
first floor roof terrace via a newly installed
spiral staircase.
Bartholomew Landscaping solution
It was agreed that a rather informal design
with a Japanese feel would be most
appropriate. With this in mind, for the main
paving area, we used mid grey granite paving
in coursed random widths and lengths and
black granite was selected to emphasise the
strong linearity of the pattern.
An eye-catching black granite water
feature gives the courtyard a central focus.

Beautiful benches with integral lighting were
sourced from Miramondo in Germany. We
also incorporated a sculpture specifically
purchased by the client for the garden
The Japanese theme was again reflected in
the planting. Clipped cloud topiary trees
provide a superb visual interaction with the
hard edges of the granite paving. In turn,
bamboo and evergreen flowering climbers
add a soft, natural dimension to the walls, and
river washed rounded pebbles and sculptural
boulders add contrast to the surfaces.
Strategic remote controlled lighting changes
the mood of the garden for night-time use. An
integrated irrigation system ensures that
maintenance is kept to a minimum.
Drainage is managed by the inclusion of a
concealed slot drain running the width of the
garden that replaces a mortar joint and new
gully covers were hand crafted to replace the
standard metal grates. Recessed manhole
covers have been incorporated with superb
masonry completing the overwhelming
feeling of quality.

Amberleigh House was the horse which won the 2004
Grand National . He is now retired and l iving at the Stud.
The National Stud stands on 520 acreson the outskirts of the Suffolk town ofNewmarket which is known as the
Headquarters of British Racing. The Stud hasbeen open to the public since the mid 1970s.
The origins of The National Stud actuallydate back to 1915 when Colonel Hall Walker(later Lord Wavertree) presented hisThoroughbred stallions, mares, yearlings,foals and horses in training to the BritishGovernment as a gift. This gift was made onthe understanding that the Governmentpurchased from him 1,000 acres of land atTully, Co. Kildare, Ireland. The original aimwas to establish a British National Stud thatwould supply high-quality lightweighthorses for the Cavalry. However, given thechanging nature of 20th Century warfareand its increasing levels of mechanisation,the need for these horses declined soonafter the project was started. The British Government decided to retain theStud and focus on breeding high-qualityThoroughbreds for racing instead. Successcame quickly to the new operation;Blandford, who was foaled in 1919 and bred
by The National Stud, became one of themost successful sires of the 1920s and 30s,breeding 11 Classic winners including 4 Derbywinners. Other Classic winning products ofthe early National Stud included Royal Lancer,Big Game, Chamossaire and Carrozza.Ownership of the Stud transferred to the IrishGovernment in 1943 and The National Studmoved to Sandley Stud in Dorset and anoverflow site at West Grinstead in Sussex.
In 1963 the newly-established Levy Board wasdirected to run the Stud and five hundredacres in Newmarket were leased from theJockey Club in order to build a state-of-the-art facility. Peter Burrell (Stud Director at thetime) was responsible for the layout of yardsaround the Stud as they are seen today andthese blocks were named after well-known19th Century Jockey Club members. The newsite of The National Stud was officially openedby The Queen on 17th April 1967.
1973 saw Paul Mellon’s brilliant Mill Reef retireto the Stud to begin a hugely successfulcareer as a stallion. During his illustriousracing career Mill Reef won the Epsom Derby(1971), the King George VI & Queen ElizabethStakes at Royal Ascot, the Prix de l'Arc deTriomphe and the Coronation Cup. During histime at stud he sired two Derby winners -Shirley Heights and Reference Point. Today astatue of him stands in front of the StallionUnit in memory of this great racehorse.
In April 2008 the Jockey Club acquired TheNational Stud. As well as beginning a newchapter for the organisation it marked anotherpolitical shift as the Stud became a privatecompany, no longer being owned by the state.
The National Stud continues to stand stallionsof the highest calibre which produce offspringwho have achieved prices of nearly £200,000each in the sales ring and who have won racesall over the world at the highest level.
The current flagship stallion is BahamianBounty who is 17 years old and whocommands a stud fee of £10,000 per mare!Other stars include Cockney Rebel, who wonthe 2000 Guineas just across the heath atNewmarket’s Rowley Mile Racecourse in2007, and Pastoral Pursuits who won evencloser to home when in 2005 he wasvictorious in the July Cup which is run on theJuly Racecourse adjoining the Stud itself!
The Stud also boards mares for their ownerswhile they produce their foals and visitstallions in the Newmarket area. Thebreeding season starts each year on 15thFebruary and runs until its official end on 15hJuly. The Stud has facilities to board 200mares and their foals and provides servicesnot only to look after broodmares but alsoto sell people’s horses at the many largepublic auctions around the country.
The Stud’s full-time education and trainingprogrammes started in the mid- 1980s andcontinue to be extremely well-respected tothis day. They represent the main access forStud staff into the Thoroughbred breedingindustry. The Diploma in Stud Practice and

Management is a 5-month residential courseaimed at people with experience in theThoroughbred industry who wish toprogress and gain experience to become theindustry leaders of the future. There is alsoan entry-level programme called theApprentice Course (also residential). Therehas been significant investment in thestudent programmes in recent years and theStud now boasts not only a state-of-the-artlecture theatre and stable complex for thestudents’ use but also a brand new 24-bedroom accommodation facility.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of TheNational Stud is the farm’s decision to openits doors to the public each day so anyoneand everyone can learn about breedinghorses and see how a commercial stud farmoperates. The National Stud opened its gatesto the public for the first time in the mid
1970s. To this day it remains the only workingstud farm in the UK allowing individuals,small groups and large parties the chance tosee behind the scenes of the industry.
Public tours run twice daily from 15thFebruary until the end of September andthen once a day until the end of October.Visitors are able to experience day-to-daylife on the Stud and at different times of theyear they are able to see young foals, maresand yearlings as well as the Stallions out intheir paddocks. Their resident equine legendis 2004 Grand National winner AmberleighHouse who was trained by Ginger McCain(the trainer of the most famous GrandNational winner in history - Red Rum).
For the 2012 season, The National Stud hasexpanded its range of tours so that pre-booked groups can arrange to visit a host ofattractions in the town during their visit toNewmarket. These specialist tours include avisit to the famous Newmarket gallops; visitsto trainers’ yards and veterinary hospitals;tickets to see bands and pop groups playingat Newmarket Racecourse on summer Fridaynights; trips to the start of races; access to theweighing rooms at the racecourses and visitsto sample the historic and beautiful JockeyClub Rooms amongst many others - thepossibilities really are endless!
In addition to the tours, Wavertree’s Coffeeand Gift Shop is open all year round forbreakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. All thecakes are home-made and the food isfreshly cooked to order.
