Life-Changing Experience

Project Description

Sarnico– Lake Iseo – John and Sandra – ‘Life-Changing Experience’

Project Manager:- Geom. Pierangelo Crespi

Architect:- Sara Ugazio

Team Co-ordinator:- Madeleine Morgan

Description of Works:- 

The clients contacted me from an investment perspective, looking for a flat with good accessibility, geographically strategic and with good exposure to the sun and lake views. The clients love the outdoors, the lake and the mountains. At the time, I had a very good flat that suited their needs; it was a bit dated, badly furnished and needed some work but not a complete renovation.

The clients liked some of the original features of the flat and wanted to retain them. The price of the property and the budget set for the house fit-out was exactly what they wanted. So a short trip from Holland and within a couple of days they had formalised the purchase proposal.

The works followed a few weeks later. We consulted their budget and basic needs and this is the result. A few months later and they are now living permanently in Italy from Holland and are looking to buy another property.

What they say...

“In May 2018 we purchased our apartment on Lake Iseo with the invaluable assistance of Madeleine of Dreamhomes. We wanted to make some internal adjustments to make the apartment better suit our requirements. The adjustments involved:

– extending one bedroom into a hallway and getting custom made furniture installed to also act as a divider within the room
– extending one bathroom and shortening another bathroom (by moving a separating wall). This also involved the installation of new bathroom furniture/equipment and revised plumbing and electrical works.
– adding decking to a roof terrace.

The project was managed by Madeleine including:

– Introducing us to an architect, Sara, who provided several drawings to help us choose our preferred layout.
– assistance with the selection of furniture and equipment
– recommending and managing the tradesmen who carried out the alterations

All this took place while we were back home in Scotland, with regular updates including photo’s at all stages, so when we returned to Italy in Late June the project was completed. I don’t think we would have made the adjustments without Madeleine advising on trusted professionals and tradesmen to complete the project and also managing the project in our absence.  We were very happy with the results and a couple of small issues since have been rectified very quickly.”
