In Los Angeles, The One estate breaks records, with a living area of more than 9,700 square meters and an estimated price of $350 million. Take a guided tour of a house that's making a splash in the real estate market. It took nearly a decade of design and development work to finally get the house that was touted as "the most expensive house in the world" ready for its close-up. Situated on a 2-hectare parcel of land in Los Angeles's chic Bel Air enclave, the interiors of the aptly named The One, with over 9,700 square metres of living space, have remained a well-kept secret until now. Surrounded by gullies on three sides of the house and a jogging track, the estate seems to float above the city. Built in eight years and requiring more than 600 works, the house was designed by architect Paul McClean, who was contacted by Nile Niami, a film producer and land developer. The main entrance of the house, with its 8-meter high ceilings, leads to numerous common areas offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, downtown Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Mountains. The entrance has a water feature with a sculpture and a bridge. The use of black, white and grey throughout the house was a request from Nile Niami who wanted a neutral palette so as not to overshadow the landscape and the panoramas. The house has 42 bathrooms, 21 bedrooms, a 500 m2 master suite, a 30-car garage with two turntables, a bowling alley, a spa, a 30-seat cinema, a "philanthropic wing" (with a capacity of 200 people) for charity galas, floating capsules overlooking Los Angeles, a 900 m2 sky observation platform and five swimming pools. Kathryn Rotondi, the founder of KFR Design, helped decorate the premises by creating distinctive spaces that blend together despite the impressive size of the house. "I was guided by the "Wow" elements of the hotel business," explains the decorator, who has turned to major luxury hotel brands such as Aman, Bvlgari and Baccarat. The colour palette, soft textures and lighting of the house are in turn an ode to the Tom Ford boutique on Rodeo Drive, dear to the hearts of Nile Niami and Paul McClean. The collaboration between Creative Art Partners and Art Angeles has enabled the property to showcase an impressive collection of artwork, including an installation by Stephen Wilson and a black and silver panel by Niclas Castello. An important collection of custom furniture comes from the Showroom publisher. Due to recent city regulations, a house of this magnitude will no longer be built in Los Angeles, which means that The One will remain truly unique. The time has now come to find the ideal buyer. California agencies The Beverly Hills Estates and Compass are already working on their listings in search of the right buyer. text: ADmagazine photo: Douglas Friedman

From the Frugès Modern Districts to the cités radieuses, Le Corbusier has long worked on the theme of collective housing. By applying his research on the Modulor to his concept of housing units, freeing up many common spaces and seeking new constructive solutions, the architect wanted to strengthen the links between the inhabitants and create the conditions for a harmonious life. At the price of a global intellectual synthesis that he pursued for three decades, Le Corbusier endeavoured to think about the world born of the massacres of the First World War, the Russian Revolution of October 1917, the coming of technical innovations, the awareness of an irreversible demographic expansion and urban growth. The latter would condemn cities of medieval structure, which had become insalubrious, to expand to the point of disarray to accommodate families trying to survive. Urban renewal through Haussmann-style breakthroughs, the beautification of public space, the construction of collective networks seem too slow and garden cities too sparse to halt the deterioration of living conditions and resolve the question raised by Le Corbusier as early as 1920: how can the contemporary city be organized so that man can regain his dignity and establish the indispensable social and cultural cohesion that will prevent the return of conflict? Facilitating the dissemination of new social relationships Imbued with the socialist ideas of the October Revolution, urban planners and architects in northern Europe are developing urban organizations and buildings that will facilitate the spread of the new social relationships they want to see. In France, Le Corbusier responded by combining humanism, hygiene, technical progress and an awareness of the impact of speed on the contemporary city. He complemented this new world view by seeking constructive ways of rapidly building such cities and studying the space favourable to the development of the lives of working class families. For thirty-five years, from 1922, when he exhibited in Paris the project for a contemporary city of three million inhabitants, to 1955, when the Maison Radieuse de Rezé-lès-Nantes was inaugurated, he focused all his attention on this issue. He constantly strives to resolve these issues, to have his proposals recognized by disseminating them through speech and writing, by alternating provocations and demonstrations, by trying to mobilize political leaders in many countries while fighting his countless and ferocious detractors. It seeks to redefine in a harmonious and coherent way the living space of mankind.

The artist photographer Vincent Fournier celebrates in "Brasília, une capsule temporelle", a new book published by Noeve, the beauty of this utopian city that never ceases to fascinate. "My interest in the city of Brasília comes from a mixture of fascination and nostalgia for the stories and representations of the Future. Indeed, Oscar Niemeyer's city, the Brazilian capital built in four years in the middle of a desert, embodies the vision of the future of the 1960s. The pilot plan designed in 1957 by urban planner Lucio Costa coincided with the beginning of the space age and the first artificial satellite of the Earth: Sputnik. It is therefore the golden age of the "space age", and the city of Brasília, with its air of a flying saucer that would have landed in the middle of nowhere, shows nostalgia and the dream of a future frozen in time", details the photographic artist used in his work to explore the different mythologies of the future. In order to account for this state, Vincent Fournier confides that he used the concrete capital as a set in which the inhabitants were staged. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, this utopian city with the air of an open-air museum is distinguished by its architectural pearls that have become emblematic. From the sculptural staircase of the Palais de l'Itamaraty to the white dome housing the national museum... these places, all fluid, radical and excessive, reveal their photogenic beauty throughout the pages of this book. Brasília, a time capsule, text in English, French and Japanese, 154 pages, 44,90 € or 69 € (signed edition and limited to 100 copies), Noeve editions, www.noeve.com Credit: https://www.admagazine.fr/ Photo credit : Vincent Fournier
