Lifestyle Architecture
As the luxury home market continues to escalate one developer
rises above all others with a unique blend of design, custom
craftsmanship and artistic flair to create ‘lifestyle
architecture’. This man in John Turchin, and if you
do not recognize the name now you soon will. Long a fixture
on the Miami property development scene, Turchin and his expanding
real estate kingdom are set to achieve national attention
and recognition with the launch of his latest endeavor.
But before one can appreciate what John Turchin does for
luxury design and development, it is important to understand
his influences and motivation. As a third generation builder/developer,
Turchin has been at the forefront of all major real estate
development trends in the Miami area since the early 1980’s.
He is a perfect example of an affluent businessman living
the Miami lifestyle. Enjoying all that defines Miami and oceanfront
living, Turchin has helped establish South Beach as the must-see
destination for the jet set. With his company, Turchin Properties,
he has taken this passion for development from the business
sector into the residential market. Whether he is creating
seaside estates for his celebrity clients or fashioning a
pristine mountainside into a one-of-a-kind resort community
for the wealthy, John Turchin imbues everything he touches
with his own sensibilities of what is beautiful, lavish and
functional.
While the idea of a developer putting his personal stamp
on concept and construction is not a unique feature, what
is unique is that with every design, every project and every
accomplishment, John Turchin achieves greatness. His designs
have the ability to evoke emotion and fill the resident or
fortunate visitor, with feelings of serenity, inspiration
and even a little bit of mystery. From the sweeping Mediterranean
designs of his South Florida manses, to the rustic Craftsmen
style elegance of his newest endeavor, The Lodges at Eagles
Nest, in Banner Elk, North Carolina, Turchin somehow taps
into our need for beauty and distinction.
In an age ruled by fast food and fleeting fads, his designs
take us back to an age where lifestyle for the privileged
class was exclusive and was defined by uncommon taste and
style. An age where the refinement and elegance of classic
architecture blended with a new era of design and homes really
were castles. Every Turchin estate echoes those feelings of
grace and class through the excruciating attention to detail
John brings to his projects. Using the best materials and
artisan construction techniques, he brings traditional design
and architecture into the 21st century while retaining the
old world feeling of grandeur and individuality of the finest
estate homes from around the world.
His latest foray into residential design is The Lodges at
Eagles Nest. Located near Banner Elk, North Carolina this
project centers around a luxury recreation of the best summer
camp experiences we remember from childhood. With surrounding
amenities like skiing, fishing, spa retreats and woodland
hiking, Eagles Nest promises to be unlike any other residential
resort. Of course the unique Turchin feel exists here. Each
estate home is crafted of the finest natural materials so
as the blend seamlessly into the unspoiled forested surroundings.
Rough hewn stone married with natural timbers form a home
that provides harmony with nature while delivering the ultimate
in modern residential technology.
Drawn to the most spectacular of natural surroundings, John
Turchin shares his passion for artistry and unsurpassed workmanship
with anyone who has the means to join this exclusive club.
From his home on South Florida's Hibiscus IsIsland to his
establishment of resort-style living in the Blue Ridge Mountains
of North Carolina, every Turchin design all but compels people
to drink in the richness of construction and the opulence
of decor. But John Turchin is less about keeping up appearances
and more about substance. Whether moving among the social
elite or the mere mortal, he is at ease with his ability to
influence beauty and create architectural excitement.
Capitalizing on his innate artistic talents, Turchin sees
everything as an expression of splendor. Whether he is designing
a night-club, partnering with an interior designer to lavishly
appoint an estate home or selecting the best real estate,
John Turchin sees possibilities in all things. It is his flair
for the dramatic design elements and his passion for creating
turn-key luxury estates which fuel his devotion to creating
beauty. This devotion is what inspires and attracts the rich,
powerful and chic looking to obtain beauty and prestige for
themselves. Ultimately it is Turchin`s devotion that keeps
his empire expanding. Spawning a vision, giving it life and
then sharing it with those affluent enough to appreciate only
the best - this is what defines a great developer. This is
what defines John Turchin.
