A surprisingly balmy day in central London was perfect for our late autumn event. Set in the elegantly designed Alligator Bar at Louie London - demurely nestled between Covent Garden and Leicester Square - the August team had the pleasure of hosting Homeowners and more guests from around the globe.
A surprisingly balmy day in central London was perfect for our late autumn event. Set in the elegantly designed Alligator Bar at Louie London - demurely nestled between Covent Garden and Leicester Square - the August team had the pleasure of hosting Homeowners and more guests from around the globe.
An Elegant London Event For European Dreaming
On the third-floor bar of Louie London, gilded accents and curved couches create a cosy and luxurious ambience, while green tones and verdant elements accentuate the indoor-outdoor connection of the bar and the terrace. August’s design team highly approved of the sophisticated furnishings and it was a beautiful backdrop for connecting, sharing stories of Europe and sipping a little champagne together.
The first moments were filled with effervescent conversation; guests exchanged experiences of Europe, of their current beautiful Homes, and of the Collections they are eagerly anticipating too.
Welcoming The August Community
To punctuate the festivities, August co-founder, Mélie Dunod, took the mic for a moment to officially welcome our guests and express our gratitude to our Homeowners and the team, for making August the inspiring and welcoming community that it is.
Our Guest Speakers
Following the applause, Kirsten Meyr, August’s commercial director, welcomed two of August's Homeowners who kindly took to the stage to share their unique and genuine stories of co-ownership with August.
Arlene, who is in the Pied À Terre Collection, Saint Germain, joined us from the United States. Arlene has three children and always dreamed of owning a home in Paris as a teenager, let alone co-owning five beautiful apartments in wonderful European locations.
Now Arlene enjoys Paris, Cannes, Barcelona (and soon Rome) often with her sister or friends, whenever the moment arises. We also heard from Pete who enjoys the serenity of the Signature Collection, Cozzile, along with his wife and their three children. Though both our speakers stories were truly unique, the same thread of joy echoed throughout.
An Evening To Remember
“It was a wonderful evening at a beautiful venue and such a pleasure to be surrounded by new and familiar faces in the August community,” shared Nicolai Johan W, August co-founder. “Hearing from Arlene and Pete was delightful, they both shared genuine and heartfelt stories of their individual August journeys.”
“We love hosting these events, not just so that Homeowners can connect and meet the wider August team in person, but also to inspire others and unlock their dreams of owning second homes in Europe,” added Mélie Dunod.
Events are a wonderful way to meet the Homeowner community and understand more about what it means to be part of the August family. If you can’t wait until our next event, be sure to sign up for a Webinar to hear more about August.
