The latest issue of Kanebridge Quarterly has just landed and we’re celebrating city living. From the best luxury apartments hitting the market to incredible houses transformed by the clever use of passive solar design, we showcase how city living in Australia is evolving and the challenges ahead to reach ever higher standards of living.
We kick off this issue with our story on the internationally recognised cool neighbourhoods in Sydney and Melbourne. They’re nowhere near the water, so what makes them so special? And how can you spot the next fashionable suburb? If you’re more about life’s little luxuries, check out our story on the rise of the apartment concierge — and where you can get in on the action. NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler also shares his vision for the construction of multi-residential projects, making builders more accountable than ever and bringing confidence back to the market.
In the Money section, as more homeowners feel the pinch amid stubbornly high interest rates, we look at ways to keep money in your pocket without the belt tightening, at least not much. Plus, we explore the world of investing in gems and jewellery, talking to the experts about what pieces truly appreciate in value. If you’re looking at where to get the best returns on your investments, we can point you in the right direction, from bricks and mortar, the cryptocurrencies (yes, they’re back), gold and more.
Lifestyle lovers will enjoy drawing back the curtain on some of the best designed homes in Australia, including a house in Melbourne that doesn’t need heating in winter. Plus, we drop in on Singapore designer Gabriel Tan, who moved his family to Portugal in the middle of COVID. And speaking of people on the move, our travel section looks at the growing market for solo travellers, and the travel companies catering to their interests.

When Lamborghini takes to the water, subtlety isn’t on the agenda. Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is a 30-metre superyacht that fuses Italian automotive theatre with cutting-edge naval engineering.
The model builds on the collaboration that began in 2020 with the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, a sell-out success that celebrated the marque’s founding year.
This new flagship pushes the partnership between Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group to a grander scale, designed to deliver the same adrenaline rush at sea that drivers expect behind the wheel.
“The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT redefines the concept of nautical luxury,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
“It is not only a yacht, but an affirmation of Italian excellence. The Italian Sea Group and Automobili Lamborghini share an exclusive clientele who are passionate about beauty, technology, and extreme performance.”
Design cues are unmistakably Lamborghini. The yacht’s sharp exterior lines echo the Fenomeno supercar revealed at Monterey Car Week, complete with Giallo Crius launch livery and signature Y-shaped lighting.
Inside, the cockpit and lounges mirror the DNA of Sant’Agata supercars through hexagonal motifs, sculptural seating and dramatic contrasts. With accommodation for up to nine guests and three crew cabins, indulgence meets practicality on every deck.
Performance is equally uncompromising. Three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and triple surface propellers generate a combined 7,600 horsepower, driving the yacht to 45 knots at full throttle, with a cruising speed of 35 knots. Two 35 kW generators provide additional efficiency and reliability, ensuring the yacht’s power matches its presence.
Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini’s Design Director, said: “With the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT, we aimed to create a product that embodies the main design characteristics of our super sports cars. All the details, from the exterior to the colour, to the interior areas, recall and are inspired by Lamborghini’s DNA.”
Presented in scale at Monaco, the definitive Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is scheduled to hit the water at the end of 2027. For those who demand their indulgence measured not only in metres but in knots, this is Lamborghini’s most extravagant expression yet.
