A clean-lined coastal façade meets the Atlantic at Ambros Daytona , where the hotel rises directly from the sands of Daytona Beach Shores. The architecture reflects a relaxed Florida cool — soft Mediterranean tones, open balconies, and sun-washed textures designed to frame uninterrupted ocean views. With the beach just steps away, the exterior experience is defined by salt air, morning light over the Atlantic, and an easygoing rhythm that captures a more refined side of Florida’s surf coast.

Kino, a modern new Japanese restaurant, has officially opened on Draycott Avenue in South Kensington. presents a seasonally influenced menu that fuses traditional Japanese cooking with locally sourced ingredients and a subtle European sensibility. The 70-seat restaurant is helmed by Chef Pavel Baranovs.

Its name derived from an ancient word for wood, Kino is built on the values of warmth, simplicity, and craftsmanship, defined by clarity and composure. Designed by Studio APAA, Kino’s interior is conceived as a calm and immersive space defined by a subtle tactility. The aesthetic draws on a refined dialogue between Japanese minimalism and European warmth.

Chef Pavel Baranovs said, “Kino is about clarity and intention. I wanted to create a place where Japanese technique meets a broader, more personal point of view, where flavour is bold but controlled, and every ingredient is used with respect. It’s about stripping things back, focusing on seasonality, fermentation and provenance, and letting the food speak for itself.”

Bringing a refined and contemporary culinary approach to one of London’s most elegant neighbourhoods, Kino is set to be one of London’s most exciting new restaurant openings of 2026.

Forbes profiles Milan-based internatiaokla architecture and design studio m2 atelier:

“Luxury today is often measured by visibility. But the architecture studios quietly shaping how high-end spaces actually feel to live in tend to operate differently. Milan-based m2atelier, led by partners in life and work Marco Bonelli and Marijana Radović, belongs firmly in the latter category.

Working across residential towers, private members’ clubs, hospitality environments and award-winning superyachts, m2atelier has built a practice defined less by signature gestures than by discipline. Their projects span Europe, the United States, the Caribbean and the Middle East, yet remain remarkably cohesive. The consistency comes from what Bonelli describes as an unwavering architectural core.”

A Milan-based design studio shaping global luxury from Miami towers to award-winning superyachts, m2atelier builds calm, disciplined spaces where Italian craft meets architectural precision.

Please follow our client Frauke Meyer’s new Instagram page as she unveils a new workshop in Le Marais, Paris, embarking on a new chapter rooted in legacy and liberated by experimentation.

After more than 15 years working closely with Christian Liaigre—including serving as Creative Director of the house—Meyer now brings her breadth of experience to a deeply personal practice. “This workshop is a continuation, not a departure,” she notes, carrying forward a legacy of refined residential and hospitality projects defined by quiet luxury, sensuality, and emotional depth.

Her restrained yet emotive aesthetic is deeply influenced by fashion. “I’m interested in interiors that behave like garments—structured, evocative, sensitive, and elegantly disobedient,” Meyer explains, citing Phoebe Philo, Raf Simons, and Dries Van Noten for their balance of rigor and freedom through minimal cuts, strong color, and expressive pattern.

From her newly inaugurated Paris studio, Meyer continues to lead projects across the UK, Canada, and the south of France, while developing a limited-edition series of six sculptural furniture pieces, debuting soon.
