This beautiful family chose the perfect place for their vacation
home. The challenge was set and what started out as a shy
attempt to upgrade a tailored space with luxurious embankment
turned out to be the design of a lifetime. Monica and Marie-Luise
were responsible for the shaping of an elegant diplomatic suit into
a sassy cocktail dress, flamingos and pineapples included: the best
for the very best; an exquisite place for an exquisite family and as
they said in their own words: a client like this comes around once
in a lifetime! Bconnected is a creative lifestyle company born
out of a love for a place and a passion for design.
When Christine Leja and Andree Mienkus started bconnected
in Santa Catalina in 1997, the neighborhood was still a sleepy
fisherman’s village, but Christine and Andree felt an immediate
connection to the area which would become the center of their
dynamic business.
If Andree has a sharp eye for real estate and strong market
sensibility, Christine is the passionate visionary with an intuitive
approach to business, ready to take action and put the projects
into place.Together their vision is one that encourages creativity,
positive living, and inspiration. Bconnected believes in a holistic
approach towards design and living.
“Everything is connected,” Leja likes to say, and that is exactly
how they grew their business to include real estate, architecture,
design, living concepts, and even chocolate. The bconnected team
makes this holistic concept possible. Over the years, the team has
become like a big family, each person plays an important role in
developing the business, supported by their mentors, Christine
and Andree.
