Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez

Originally a fishing village, Saint Tropez has been a seaside resort beloved by international jet-setters and celebrities since the 1950s, primarily thanks to its unique South of France charm and atmosphere. For about the last fifteen years, it has also been an essential spot for the sailing world. Prestigious competitions like the Giraglia Rolex Cup, one of the biggest yacht races in the Mediterranean, and Les Voiles de Saint Tropez, which combines the latest sailboats with ones over a hundred years old, are organized with style by the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez. Founded in 1962 but truly reinvigorated by its current president, the society, which includes approximately 500 members, recently moved to a brand-new club house, complet... More

The new campus now houses NUCB Business School’s MBA program.

Allpress coffee roaster

Allpress are coffee roasters and espresso specialists. Founded in New Zealand by Michael Allpress in 1986, the Auckland-based business has always taken an innovative approach to sourcing and roasting great-tasting coffee.

Their overriding philosophy of “Designed simply to be trusted completely” has led Allpress to open its flagship roastery and café in Dalston, London.

K & M House

So many layers of history and architectural movements overlap in this house, which architect Raëd Abillama expanded and furnished for his brother’s family. The original building, a traditional single-story house with a central hall and four adjoining rooms, was later expanded with the additions of an upper storey, a loggia, and more. The loggia’s slender columns and pointed arches reveal that Lebanese architecture has been strongly influenced by Italy since the Renaissance. During the civil war, which affected the country from 1975 to 1990, a grenade hit the house and damaged it severely. In 2003, it was fully restored and passed on to its current family of five with a modern addition. The addition is subordinated to the historical s... More
