ABOUT: Embedded within the gorgeous Beaux-Arts stylings of the landmarked Bank Building, this one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex loft is a contemporary expression of tranquility and effortless living. The space was devised by, and for, renowned international designer, Tui Pranich.

The home features a lovely, south-facing garden terrace as well as a blend of sustainable and luxury materials that include bamboo, concrete, and venetian plaster.

The combined living and dining space stretches 44-ft and is bookended by the home’s serene 225 sq. ft. garden terrace and one of the building’s original arched windows that soars nearly 17 feet in height and takes up the entirety of the north-facing wall. Overlooking the dining area is an open-concept chef’s kitchen that features a stainless steel countertop and backsplash, bamboo cabinetry, a concrete-topped eat-in island, and a suite of luxury appliances. Off the living room lies a spacious bedroom that has its own closet space and direct access to the garden. Finishing the lower level are a large full bathroom, a trio of roomy custom closets, and an office space that can be completely closed off.

The upper level of the home is occupied entirely by the master suite. Open to the dining room below, the space cleverly utilizes the natural light from the arched window while maintaining a comfortable degree of privacy. The bedroom is complete with a spacious dressing area equipped with extra closets and the open master bath features dual-vanity sinks, a concrete countertop, an intricate tile backsplash, bamboo drawers, and a massive walk-in shower.

A Break From Rosé We're Drinking Red

On most summer day and nights we have been guzzling #RoséAllDay but wanting to drink a red that'll satisfy even the biggest Brosé. 

Hard to hear that one can pass up a Whispering Angel for a red? Even red wine can be described as light and fruity and make for a great summer drink while chilled. Check out our suggestions for you to drink tonight. Sangria anyone?

Chilean wine is known for its high-quality product but low and affordable prices. For the best summer red, we recommend Carménère as its herbaceous peppercorn-like flavor both compliments and brings out the smoky flavors you would often find at your typical summer BBQ. Instead of adding to the richness and sweetness of BBQ foods,  Make sure to grill up some succulent meats and crisp veggies and pour yourself a glass (or two) of Carménère at your next BBQ for the ultimate summer 

“The keys to summer reds are three fold: lighter fruit flavors, high acidity to keep the wine refreshing, and wines that you serve cooler (like 50˚F). There is a distinct set of wines that fit the bill and they, themselves come from cooler climates (which usually produce lighter reds with higher acidity). I love lighter style Zweigelt or Sankt Laurent from Austria, German Pinot Noir (called Spätburgunder), Beaujolais from Burgundy, and Pinot Noir from Sancerre in the Loire Valley. Mencía from Spain can be fantastic too, if it’s the more berry, minerally style (versus a spicier version that may be too much for summer). Each of these has a “lightness of being” about them that makes them lively and fresh. 

And here’s a shopping tip for the readers: If you’re not sure if something will be heavy or light, take a look at the alcohol level. Any red above 13.5% ABV is going to be a bit too heavy to qualify as a summer red! "

— Elizabeth Schneider host of the popular "Wine for Normal People" podcast and author of a forthcoming, reimagined basic wine book, called "Wine for Normal People."

Beaujolais is light-bodied, low-tannin, refreshing, and best served chilled. made with iconic Beaujolais producer Georges Duboeuf, whose wide portfolio of appellation-driven Flower Label wines and Cru Beaujolais bottlings are ideal for summer. The Flower portfolio is the 2015 Beaujolais-Villages, a vibrant, fruit-driven wine which over-delivers for the cost, and serves as an excellent introduction for anyone interested in exploring the high-quality side of Beaujolais. 

Beaujolais

Carmenère

Riunite

Light and well-balanced, Riunite Lambrusco is perfect for every occasion. Enjoyable and straight forward, its easy drinkability make it a favorite with a wide variety of foods, including spicy fare.

Looking to learn how to make a great sangria? Check their recipe below.

Classic Red Sangria
1 750ml bottle of Riunite Lambrusco
1 lemon, 1 orange, 1 peach, 1 ripe green apple, sliced
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup Brandy (optional)
¼ cup Triple Sec
1 can of lemon-lime soda

Combine the sliced fruit, brandy and triple sec in a pitcher. Add Riunite Lambrusco, orange juice and lemon-lime soda.
