Every expression of refinement, grandeur, and bespoke excellence that follows on this page rests upon a foundation invisible to the eye yet present in every detail: a lifelong discipline of conscience, scrupulousness, and moral philosophy that governs how beauty is conceived, how opulence is earned, and how ultra-luxury becomes worthy of the lives it touches. That foundation is set out in its entirety in my treatise, Plato's Republic and the Pursuit of Eudaimonia: Ancient Philosophy Guiding Contemporary Stewardship and Intergenerational Excellence—a philosophical work written for the rare individuals and families who hold great resources in trust for those not yet born, and who understand that authentic excellence demands wisdom as its sovereign, not appetite. The treatise is the silent foundation. What you will read on this page is what that foundation makes possible. These two layers are not in tension—they are architecture: one visible, one structural; one expressing magnificence, one making it answerable to something higher than display. Plato's vision of the beautifully ordered city—the Kallipolis—is not an ascetic vision. Wisdom governing appetite does not yield a grey or minimalist life. It yields the most genuinely beautiful life attainable, because beauty, in such a life, is no longer in service of fear or vanity—it is in service of calling. The opulence of this practice is not a contradiction of the philosophical discipline that underlies it. It is its most visible fruit. Character is the foundation. What it builds is magnificent. Here is what it builds. Exclusivity, heritage, and vision converge in my practice—where strategic decisions honour both legacy and future generations and are meticulously shaped around your singular vision. I specialise in decisions whose consequences outlast the advisors who make them. The engagements this practice is built for are the ones that resist the instruments organised around simpler questions — where complexity is not a problem to be managed but a condition to be inhabited with patience, precision, and philosophical clarity. The work is the alignment of what you hold with what you are building—and the honest examination of where those two things diverge. A practice built on that discipline required a form equal to its purpose. That conviction became a firm. I am the founder and director of Konsiteo, an international exclusive advisory, boutique lifestyle, and wealth management company established on 21 October 2015 and based in Covent Garden, London, and Rijeka, Croatia, specialising in peerless ultra luxury, exceptional opulence, and unmatched distinction. Konsiteo /kɒn.saɪt.oʊ/—a name drawn from the Latin con- (with, together) and situs (site, place)—is the culmination of a formation that began in 1985. Every client is a Private Client—enjoying bespoke advisory, absolute discretion, and a long-term relationship built on steadfast trust. In a realm where privacy is the ultimate currency, I ensure that even my most extraordinary successes remain wholly confidential—testifying to the depth of trust my clients repose in me. My formation as a civil engineer, residential structural engineer, built environment scientist, and researcher gave me the long-horizon discipline of someone who builds for generations, not transactions. Rafael Guastavino understood that a vault of breathtaking span is not built from the grandest materials but from the most disciplined application of principle to humble ones—each terracotta tile individually fragile, collectively capable of bearing immense weight, because every layer was bonded correctly to the one beneath it. His timbrel vaults, rooted in a technique perfected since the 14th century, still stand in hundreds of buildings across the world today. I have never forgotten what a vault teaches: that what bears the greatest weight is always what no one sees. It is this same philosophy—precision at the foundation, beauty as its consequence, permanence as the standard—that governs every opulent ultra-luxury lifestyle solution and experience I conceive and create. What wisdom governing appetite actually produces—in the texture of an engagement, in the quality of attention brought to each decision, in the beauty of what is built across years rather than quarters—is not ascetic restraint but something richer and rarer: experiences conceived with the same philosophical coherence as the principles that shape them, spaces inhabited with full consciousness of what they are for, objects and places chosen because they elevate rather than signal, and a felt quality of living that no amount of accumulation without direction can replicate. The Kallipolis is not bare. It is the most beautiful city attainable—because everything in it was chosen by wisdom rather than assembled by appetite. My practice is rooted in the Karlović family heritage—one of the Kingdom of Croatia's legendary Twelve Noble Families (duodecim nobilia genera regni Croatiae), whose lineage shaped the nation's history across centuries of aristocratic leadership. The Karlović family coat of arms, originating in the 16th century, features a crowned goose standing proudly atop three bars on a dark red shield—an enduring symbol of noble heritage, vigilance, and distinguished leadership in Croatian history. From that foundation, the practice reaches across the financial capitals of London, New York, and Zurich to the cultural centres of Paris, Tokyo, and beyond—wherever extraordinary vision requires extraordinary counsel. Croatia holds a particular and irreplaceable place within this practice—not as a general offering available elsewhere, but as something that can only be given by someone whose family has carried the country's history in their name for five centuries. For those who seek to experience Croatia as it cannot be experienced from the outside—immersive stays in historically significant residences, private cultural encounters unavailable through any conventional channel, rare art experiences, and secluded Adriatic retreats conceived with scholarly precision and genuine personal knowledge of what this landscape holds—this practice offers exactly that. For those who aspire to make Croatia their permanent home as full-time expats, I provide tailored guidance and support, navigating the intricacies of relocation with precision and sophistication, unlocking access to the most exclusive and coveted opportunities reserved for a select few. My Croatian offerings—as a private extension of the Konsiteo experience—are accessible solely to clients who have already secured their place within my distinguished clientele. Behind every decision, every structure, and every commitment stands a particular cast of mind. The questions this practice asks are not the ones the advisory world is organised around asking. The clients this practice is built for think in decades—not because it is fashionable to say so, but because the structures they are building require it. My wealth stewardship transcends tax optimisation—it is about crafting a generational legacy rich in purpose, values, and vision, so your prosperity empowers both today's ambitions and tomorrow's aspirations. In all pursuits, the decisions this practice makes are answerable to something higher than compliance or convention—ensuring our partnerships not only preserve wealth but advance enduring good for generations to come. My commitment to excellence stems from understanding that extraordinary outcomes require both vision and humility. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry observed, "La perfection est atteinte non quand il n'y a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n'y a plus rien à enlever"—Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. This philosophy guides every bespoke decision in my firm, where meticulous refinement and thoughtful subtraction shape experiences of unparalleled standard. In pursuit of eudaimonia—the flourishing life of deep fulfilment and virtuous purpose—I guide each partnership towards outcomes that transcend material accumulation to embrace genuine prosperity of spirit and legacy. With absolute clarity of purpose, I navigate the complexities of wealth stewardship with serene composure, ensuring that neither market turbulence nor shifting circumstances can diminish the steadfastness of our shared vision or the resolve of our strategic counsel. With aequanimitas, consistency, and steadfast care—I guide every detail until something extraordinary emerges. Ultra luxury transcends mere display—it demands mastery of complexity, resilience, and character. Rooted in precision and strategic insight, I craft the architecture of a life that endures beyond trends. The relationships this practice builds are with those who have already decided that authenticity is not optional. Every choice you make today becomes a covenant with future generations. Guided by the ancient seventh-generation principle and the modern ethos of longtermism—I design ultra-luxury lifestyle and wealth strategies calibrated for centuries of prosperity and meaning. As your singular partner, I embody integrity, empathy, and relentless curiosity. I enrich lives through private counsel marked by diligence and attentiveness, forging bonds of trust rather than transactions. For clients who demand nothing less than extraordinary, I deliver peerless, crafted solutions that stand the test of time—no compromises, no shortcuts, only enduring excellence. I engage with only one client at a time, devoting my undivided expertise to your singular needs. This commitment is absolute—one client per year—ensuring that every strategic decision, every moment of counsel, and every curated experience receives the full weight of my expertise without division or compromise. By committing entirely to one partnership, I create an immersive advisory experience—unencumbered by distraction and crafted to achieve truly transformative, enduring results. The practice proceeds by the slow path of singular dedication—never pursuing rapid scaling or simultaneous commitments. These partnerships speak through discrete measures of success: generational wealth strategies that have weathered market volatility while expanding legacy foundations; bespoke stewardship of exceptional residences and curated lifestyle evolutions that have elevated living standards across continents; discreet concierge and travel orchestration that anticipates every preference; strategic counsel enabling visionary philanthropic initiatives, pioneering business ventures, and multi-generational family enterprises; and personalised coaching that refines vision and its realisation. Each engagement culminates not in financial optimisation but in the rarer and harder thing: a life whose structures finally correspond to its intentions. My counsel spans the full arc of an exceptional life—and beyond it, into the lives of those not yet born. From the stewardship of places held across generations to the architecture of wealth, the choreography of travel, and the quiet art of living with intention, every dimension is ordered by the same question: what does a life worthy of transmission actually demand? Where required, I extend into the granular—lifestyle, concierge, coaching—not as services rendered, but as expressions of a single, philosophically coherent practice. One client. One year. One purpose. Engagement is initiated exclusively by introduction, with absolute confidentiality assured throughout. Prospective clients may present themselves through the designated channels of email or Signal communication. Following comprehensive yet discreet assessment, and at my sole discretion, selected individuals are accorded placement upon the private waiting list. Upon such placement, the initiation fee of £313,800.00 plus applicable tax becomes due—marking the opening of your journey. The initiation fee is the first question the practice asks of you. Not whether you can meet it—but whether, in meeting it, you understand that what follows will require something of far greater value: the willingness to submit your actual life, not merely your portfolio, to honest examination. The initiation fee secures admission to the private waiting list and remains entirely separate from subsequent advisory billing, with no portion credited towards future services. This singular, once‑only, lifetime investment—etched in perpetuity—once remitted, stands as your permanent passage into my private realm, with no subsequent initiation fee ever required, regardless of future considerations or renewed engagements within the firm. Advisory services commence exclusively upon personal invitation from the private waiting list. At this juncture, the commitment fee of £1,255,200.00 plus applicable tax is rendered. It establishes the foundational engagement value for services delivered on an hourly basis, ensuring that each commission embodies the requisite strategic depth and comprehensive scope. The commitment fee corresponds to the value of two hundred forty billable hours—equivalent to three months of exclusive, dedicated service at four hours per day—at the prevailing fixed hourly rate. These hours may be drawn upon at the client's discretion within a twelve‑month period from commencement, ensuring sustained access to my expertise while upholding the highest standards of exclusivity and discretion, and forming the assured foundation of each advisory engagement. These terms are governed by Konsiteo's Exclusivity Policy under which, upon settlement of the commitment fee, the client is granted a twelve-month period of absolute exclusivity, during which no other advisory engagements are accepted and my attention is devoted entirely to the client's strategic imperatives. The full allocation of two hundred forty billable hours—equivalent to three months of four-hour daily sessions—is held in reserve throughout this private term, available in its totality from the first day of engagement. Should this initial allotment be exhausted prior to the twelve-month anniversary, the client may request additional hours at the prevailing fixed hourly rate, ensuring uninterrupted access to bespoke counsel. At the conclusion of the twelve-month period, any remaining hours from the original allocation expire without carry-forward. Continuation or renewal beyond the term requires the rendering of a new commitment fee under identical conditions, thereby preserving the sanctity, rarity, and unwavering focus that define the pinnacle of my ultra-luxury advisory—in unwavering service to your unique vision. All client‑initiated engagements, immersive experiences, and advisory journeys are conducted with the impeccable logistics befitting peerless ultra luxury. Consonant with these principles, all travel, accommodation, private aviation, and dining arrangements are secured at the client's privilege and settlement, ensuring absolute alignment with their preferred standards of refinement. Transient or fragmented engagements are not entertained. Throughout the advisory relationship, professional time is rendered at £5,230.00 plus applicable tax per hour. All such billings contribute towards satisfaction of the commitment fee threshold. This protocol maintains the highest standards of exclusivity and discretion while establishing transparent, enduring client relationships founded upon mutual commitment and excellence. Such is the foundation upon which truly transformative advisory partnerships are forged—partnerships that transcend conventional consultancy to become instruments of lasting legacy and distinction. With these commitments established, fees are thereafter settled with the same precision, elegance, and discretion that characterise every aspect of our engagement. While all fees are denominated in British Pounds, settlement is rendered via bank transfer in British Pounds, Euros, Swiss Francs, or United States Dollars, or—at your distinguished preference and during an in-person meeting—exclusively via American Express Centurion® (Black) Card through a secure mobile facility. The privilege of digital-asset settlement—exclusively in the stablecoins EURC and USDC—is made available with complete confidentiality, a courtesy reserved for discerning clients who value the seamless marriage of innovation and tradition. All settlement costs are absorbed within the engagement, without exception. All settlements honour applicable regulations, preserving the sanctuary of absolute discretion. What follows from here is not a service. It is a covenant. And it begins only when you are ready for what it will ask of you.
