On June 27, 2025, the historic Blackstone Boulevard neighborhood in Providence, Rhode Island, became the distinguished setting for the inaugural Luxury Living 2025 event. Presented by Hill & Harbor Design + Build and live-streamed for a broader audience, this invitation-only talk was a thoughtful gathering of leading voices and visionaries in luxury real estate, architecture, and design.
Our intention for Luxury Living 2025 was not merely to exhibit, but to inspire a curated lifestyle—one where architecture, wellness, and thoughtful design seamlessly converge. We envisioned an experience that transcended the conventional, allowing our guests to immerse themselves in a meticulously crafted narrative of elevated living.
A pivotal moment of the day was the exclusive tour of a Hill & Harbor residence: a meticulously renovated 1911 Colonial Revival home in the very heart of the Blackstone Boulevard. Guests explored how heritage and modernity were artfully composed, revealing bespoke details, architectural integrity, and the subtle integration of luxury amenities that define Hill & Harbor’s signature approach. Every space reflected an intentional blend of timeless elegance and contemporary sensibility, demonstrating how historic properties can be transformed into sanctuaries of modern luxury.
The discourse continued with profound insights from two distinguished panels. The Power Panel: Charting the Course for Luxury Living in the Ocean State brought together top-ranked luxury real estate leaders. Their discerning conversation illuminated how the desires of the affluent homeowner are shaping the market, from evolving architectural preferences and desirable amenities to the allure of specific locations that promise an exclusive coastal lifestyle.
Following this, The Blueprint of Modern Luxury: Elevating Client Experiences Through Design & Innovation offered a deeper exploration. Our CEO, Paul Vespia, alongside accomplished designers and Derek Simpson from Residential Properties LTD, engaged in a revealing discussion on how evolving client expectations are reshaping the industry. The emphasis was placed on the importance of refined collaboration in delivering projects that are not just visually compelling, but deeply resonant with our clients’ aspirations.
The day concluded with an atmosphere of meaningful connection, where ideas flowed as freely as the curated refreshments. Guests departed with a renewed sense of inspiration, a deeper understanding of the nuanced world of luxury design, and a tangible impression of the Hill & Harbor ethos.
Luxury Living 2025 was a testament to our commitment to crafting environments that are not only beautiful but are deeply reflective of a life well-composed. We extend our sincere gratitude to all who attended, to Ocean Home Magazine for their invaluable partnership, and to those who joined us virtually through the live stream, in making this inaugural event a profound success. We look forward to continuing these vital conversations and further shaping the landscape of luxury living.
