The Iconic Riva 88 Florida New

June 30, 2015

RIVA 88′ Florida New

The thrill of a coupé, the freedom of an open. The 88’ Florida, the revolutionary model and spiritual successor of the Bahamas yacht, unveils a brand new innovation, an exclusive Ferretti Group patent installed for the first time on this model. We are talking about the “Convertible Top”, a system designed and developed by the Engineering Department in collaboration with some of the Group’s technical partners, which turns the yacht into a multifunctional, “convertible” boat, given that with one simple manoeuvre it can be turned from an open into a coupé, or vice versa.

Michael Bay’s High-Style Hollywood Home

June 27, 2015

It is one the most Stylish House of Hollywood Hills. Feats of architectural derring-do have long had their place in the hills and canyons of Los Angeles, where gravity-defying midcentury landmarks such as John Lautner’s Sheats-Goldstein residence and Pierre Koenig’s Stahl House test the structural and aesthetic limits of cliffside living. New to that esteemed lineage is the recently completed home of Michael Bay, a filmmaker known for action-packed big-budget blockbusters like the Transformers series,Armageddon, and Pearl Harbor. From such a maestro of spectacular effects one might expect a place with more than just a hint of drama.

Just 11 months later, the house is already back on the market, with mostly the same numbers that were reported last year: current listing still says the house was built in 1958, and it still notes the exact same square footage — 3,651 — as last year’s listing. It still has 4 bedrooms and 4 (and a half) bathrooms. Continue Reading…
