They feature convection steam ovens and induction cooktops. The kitchens, in particular, are designed to promote wellness and well-being. The complex offers rock climbing, swimming, nutrition and golf lessons along with group exercise and older-adult mobility programs. To that end, the complex offers flexible live/work spaces, a fitness center a wellness center for people and pets a ground-floor community gathering space and a culinary program by Michelin-starred Chef John Fraser. MP Boston, the local arm of New York-based property developer Millennium Partners, partnered with a group of MIT professors to “create a holistic design strategy … that would address health and wellness, boost occupant happiness and productivity and better the environment,” according to a statement. The 777- to 5,880-square-foot residences, which top the tower from the 35th to 62nd floors, are selling for $1.5 million to $15 million. Health, wellness, fitness and sustainability are the signatures of the 317 luxury units at Boston’s Winthrop Center, the 13.22-million-square-foot mixed-use tower whose energy-efficiency measures make it slated to become the world’s largest Passive House office building. Marble Palace, or Marmoripalatsi, is close to all the designer boutiques, cafes and restaurants of the Ullanlinna district and is a 20-minute walk to central Helsinki. Ice and snow are cleared automatically by heated underground pipes. The palace’s elements of classical, Viennese Art Nouveau and Finnish National Romantic style drove the renovation, which pairs the vision of Saarinen, one of the country’s noted architects, with contemporary amenities, including heating and cooling systems that incorporate advanced building automation technology.Įach of the units offers a variety of different one-of-a-kind amenities, ranging from an octagonal bathroom clad in Calacatta marble, a private roof terrace, a covered loggia and a patio to a wood-paneled great hall.Īn underground parking garage that accommodates up to eight cars and that is equipped with electric charging stations has been added to the property. The historic house, which has been renamed to reflect its facade of Förby marble from the Finnish archipelago, has been transformed into a luxurious space that transcends the centuries. The restoration, by SARC Architects under the direction of the heritage agency, is a prime illustration of sustainability as it reuses an existing structure instead of razing it and building new construction. Now, it has been divided into four apartments of 1,463 to 6,619 square feet each that are on the market for €4.08 million to €15.39 million (US$4.26 million to US$15.96 million). Most recently, the residence housed the Helsinki Administrative Court and the Labour Court. Saarinen, who also was the architect of Helsinki Central Station, designed the palace as a retirement residence for an ironworks worker who wanted to entertain and showcase his art collection.
