We make it a reality...
Sulzano – Lake Iseo – Glen and Jacky Murray – ‘Bicycle Heaven’
Project Manager:- Geom. Pierangelo Crespi
Architect:- Sara Ugazio
Team Co-ordinator:- Madeleine Morgan
Description of Works:- Glen and Jacky Murray from Glasgow, Scotland, fell in love with their lakeside home immediately, Glen being a fervid bike lover and a fan of Marco Pantani and Jacky loving the scenery and everything the area had to offer. They quickly made an offer which was accepted and we moved quickly to examine the refurb side of their wish list. The sales operation had to be kept on hold due to a misdemeanour found on the paperwork. That’s when our team came to the rescue. The windows to the east side were not present on the original plans so we had to backtrack to historic records and satellite photos to arrive at a quick problem and agree an amnesty procedure with the council and the region. This took a considerable time to deal with and Glen and Jacky were not hopeful. Luckily we brought our ‘A game’ to the board and everything was concluded successfully.
The works that Glen and Jacky wished to have done, were to reduce the size of the master bathroom in order to make room for a further bathroom in the girls room and create a more modern look. They also wanted to create a dual but separate sleeping space for their girls in the bedroom, which was a challenge with the space that was there and the slanting attic roof. A further request was for a wood platform to be inserted in the roof terrace to raise the surface in order to enjoy a morning coffee with lake views.
A budget from the clients was set and the challenge began.
Local artisans were sought for the fitted furniture and Pier and Sara got to work on creating the space. The results were very satisfactory and the clients were happy with the outcome.
