Alfa Romeo is set to launch their highly anticipated mid-engined Italian gem at the Geneva Motor Show. The 2013 4C is a turbocharged 1.8-liter, four cylinder engine speed machine. The engine specifics aren’t for public knowledge but rumor has it that the same one that powers the Giulietta is the same one under the hood here. If speculation is correct, the mini speed machine should have about 232 horsepower, maybe more.

The launch of the 4C limited edition brings this design in a choice of two colors, an Alfa Red or Carrara White exterior. The outer body set up includes a carbon fiber spoiler, door mirrors, a rear aluminum diffuser and awkwardly placed Bi-Led headlights. There will only be about 1000 of the 4C edition available worldwide at the tune of $60,000. Check the specs after the jump and let us know what you think.

Frank Lloyd Wright has been deemed one of the greatest architects of all time. He has designed a myriad of eye-catching homes including Fallingwater in Pennsylvania. Although the architect is not alive to continue to create, his work lives on. The plans for the house on Petra Island were a spin-off to Fallingwater. Joe Massaro and Thomas Heinz decided to take Wright’s plans for the house on Petra Island and make it a reality. The Massaro house on Petra Island is an amazing rendition of Wright’s vision through Massaro and Heinz. The Petra Island House is currently on the market for $19,900,000.

The heart-shaped Petra island location is about 47 miles North of New York City. The island is home to a lot of rock structures and natural intrusions. The rocks are incorporated into the design and built into the home. Aside from using the natural rock structures, the house has a ton of windows that allow the sunlight to beam in. Check the gallery of pictures below and let us know what you think.

The most recent addition to that list is the Hotel Christopher. Undergoing major renovations, Hotel Christopher re-opened and is ready to WOW its guests.

The dark wood furniture is complimented by the bold and neutral colors. The hotel design focuses on simplicity and the ability to create a relaxing atmosphere. There are quite a few dining venues, including Mango and Taino which are located poolside. The staff is beyond attentive and they make sure that relaxation and fun is always on the menu. A three night stay is about$1,700 and well worth it. Check the gallery after the jump and let us know if this is a destination for you.
