About Foraris

What this is

Foraris covers luxury living the way a good architect covers a site visit: by looking at what is really there. Not the press kit, not the styled shot with the owner's life removed, but the sequence of rooms, the quality of the light at four in the afternoon, the doorway everybody actually uses, the terrace that turned out to be too windy for dinner.

Eight departments carry the work. Residences looks at houses as architecture. Interiors at the inside of them. Grounds at everything under the sky that still belongs to the house. Waterfront at the part of this life that happens on the water. Escapes at the houses you borrow for a week. The Table at the room where the day ends. Sanctuary at bathing, sleeping and the quiet end of the plan. Collecting at the objects that stay when the fashion has moved on.

Why the tools

Most decisions in a beautiful house are arithmetic wearing a nice jumper. The right rug is a proportion. The right pendant height is a number. A cellar is a volume and a rate of drinking. A charter week is a budget with a crew tip in it. So we built nine studios that do the arithmetic in the browser and hand you the answer, then tell you what the answer means.

Nothing you type leaves your device. There is no analytics script, no advertising network, no embedded map, no third-party font. The pages call our own server only when you deliberately send something, such as a message from the contact form or a vote in a department poll.

Who makes it

Foraris is published by NexTao GmbH in Düsseldorf. The magazine takes no payment for coverage, runs no advertising and accepts no gifted stays. Where a price appears it is the price a reader would pay, checked at the date on the article.
