☆ Any True Modern-Design Lover Needs to Know About This Masterpiece
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( J.S. Marcus | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
I AM just crazy about Milan’s Pirelli Tower. The stylish but severe 1950s skyscraper, once headquarters of the Italian tire company, was the brainchild of Giovanni “Gio” Ponti (1891–1979), the colossus of 20th-century Milanese design. A polymath architect-designer whose output ranged from ocean liners to cutlery sets, Ponti went on to complement this high-modernist office building, still his best-known work, with a late, imaginative masterpiece—1970’s La Concattedrale Gran Madre di Dio, a church in Taranto, a remote harbor town in Puglia in the heel of Italy’s boot.

☆ Sure, It’s Stylish. But This Pool House Was Built to Withstand a Hurricane

After relocating to greater Miami from Chicago in 2018, a Florida couple made only minor adjustments to the interior of the five-bedroom home they purchased for $7.34 million. The backyard pool area of the Coral Gables property, on the other hand, needed work. The existing open-air gazebo, they decided, was nice to look at but wouldn’t get much use in a climate marked by heat, humidity and the threat of storms.

☆ Inside or Out? In This Converted Great Room, You Almost Can’t Tell

The great outdoors are now part of home life for Australian empty-nesters Mathew and Liz Kempton, after their gut renovation of a compact 1880s row house just north of Sydney Harbour Bridge. In 2017, they paid 4.35 million, Australian dollars, or about $2.88 million, for the 2,700-square-foot home that had an interior from a 1980s makeover. Working with CplusC Architectural Workshop, a studio in the Sydney area, they then spent about $1.7 million to reconfigure and reimagine the structure. It now has 3,800-square-feet of living space, three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. A separate guesthouse, with a garage, has remained unchanged.
☆ Americans Are Buying Homes in Spain More Than Ever Before

Ron Hale ushered in 2023 by relocating from landlocked Orlando, Fla., to a primary residence in Marbella, on southern Spain’s Mediterranean coast. In January, the 59-year-old founder and CEO of Natural Tone Organic Skincare, a Florida-based beauty-supply company, closed on a 3,000-square-foot, three-story townhouse, with four bedrooms, spacious balconies, sea views and a sale price of $1.1 million. Mr. Hale, who wanted a base to better supervise his company’s diverse European interests, chose Marbella, a glamorous resort known for its balmy year-round climate, because of “the food, the golf and the international flair of it all,” he says. And his newly remodeled turnkey purchase—what he likes to call a place to lock and leave—has easy access to Málaga airport, the gateway to Spain’s Costa del Sol region, a 45-minute drive away.

☆ Florence’s Pitti Palace Showcases a Real Renaissance Woman

The Italian Renaissance has long been presented as a procession of male power players, from artists like Michelangelo to arts patrons like banker-statesman Lorenzo de’ Medici. But that view is set for a corrective this month, when Florence’s Uffizi Galleries mounts a comprehensive show at Pitti Palace about Eleonora di Toledo (1522–1562), the Florentine duchess who ruled the Tuscan roost for a few decades, overseeing a makeover of the city’s historic core south of the Arno that still shapes it today. Bringing together a host of splendid objects, from cameos to textiles to paintings, Eleonora di Toledo and the Invention of the Medici Court in Florence runs through May 14 in the vast palace, which Eleonora brought into the Medici orbit and then ornamented with the Boboli Gardens park just beyond. Eike Schmidt , the Uffizi director, describes Eleonora as the true “manager of the Medici court.” She acted as a consort and frequent regent for her husband, Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici, a descendant of Lorenzo’s.
☆ A Rare Reunion of Vermeers

The Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer didn’t live long, and he didn’t paint much. By the time he died in 1675, at age 43, he may have spent more time working at other jobs, including art dealer and innkeeper, than as an artist. Scholars now believe that some three dozen of his paintings survive, about one-tenth as many as Rembrandt. On Feb. 10, Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum will make history with “Vermeer,” bringing together 28 acknowledged paintings by the Dutch master, substantially more than previous museum shows. Weber, the Rijksmuseum’s head of fine and decorative arts and the show’s co-curator.
☆ American Second-Home Buyers Are Pouring Into Italy’s Wine Country

After relocating to Milan from New York City’s Upper West Side in 2021, Bryony Bechtold, a teacher, and her husband, Piero Venturini, 50, a lawyer, began looking for a vacation property. With wine on their minds, they found what they were looking for 90 minutes away in northwest Italy’s Piedmont region, home to Barolo, one of the world’s most prized reds. The couple, who have two teenage daughters, paid about $510,000 this past September for the 3,800-square-foot farmhouse on a 6.2-acre lot with a vineyard. They plan to spend about $160,000 on renovations, including an upgrade of the existing wine cellar.
☆ A Modern California Home Built to Beat the Desert Heat

Autumn has arrived in Palm Desert, Calif., and residents are rejoicing, as the season brings more-amenable temperatures after the scorching summer. For local homeowner Daniel Simon, 54, leaving behind the heat means he can resume making the most of his modern, 5,000-square-foot house, where his weekends are often spent entertaining. Mr. Simon, an elevator contractor and native of Southern California, divides his time between Orange County, where his primary residence has views of Newport Bay; a horse ranch in the mountains above Coachella Valley; and Palm Desert, where the home’s four bedrooms, five bathrooms and six distinct sitting areas welcome his guests on a grand but comfortable scale.
☆ Whistler ‘Just Used to Be a Ski Town.’ Now Buyers Want to Live There Year-Round.

Richard Dalzell, a retired tech executive living in greater Seattle, has skied all over the U.S. But when it came time to buy a ski home, he found what he needed over the border in Canada, in Whistler, British Columbia, a four-hour drive away. In addition to convenience, the double-mountain resort town—with a year-round population of 13,948 that can surge up to 55,000 at peak times—offered Mr. Dalzell, 65 years old, and his wife, Kathie Dalzell, 64, reliable snowfall at low altitudes and long ski runs.
☆ As the U.S. Dollar Surges, American Buyers Splurge on European Homes

Laetitia Laurent, a South Florida interior designer, has long had her heart set on a Parisian pied-à-terre. This summer, with the dollar soaring and Parisian real-estate prices holding steady, she took the leap. “I had been looking for a place for a long time,” says Ms. Laurent, who plans to use the apartment for work when she visits Paris to source designs for American clients, and for vacations with her husband and three young children. What helped propel her from just looking to outright buying was the strength of the U.S. dollar—“a huge factor” in the purchase, she says—15% over the past year, hovering at or near parity since mid-July. The dollar is rising so much, and so quickly, that Ms. Laurent estimates she saved around $80,000 between the time she first saw the apartment in early 2022 and when she closed in July.
