‘Water Retreat’

Project Description

Sulzano – Lake Iseo – Peter & Peter – ‘Water Retreat’

Project Manager:- Geom. Pierangelo Crespi

Architect:- Sara Ugazio

Team Co-ordinator:- Madeleine Morgan

Description of Works:- 

This water-front apartment was in need of a full renovation as can be seen by the photos. The kitchen was a small hub and the living area very dull, the bathroom was to the rear of the property and there were two bedrooms. When the clients saw the apartment if it was not for the location, right by the water, I think they would have run for the hills. That said, we all put on our thinking hats with the clients and completely transformed the internal and the living space into something quite beautiful and elegant, I think you would agree. The clients only needed one bedroom so we divided the areas into a separate kitchen/dining room and a lovely relaxing lounge/living area. We played with mirrors on the sidewalls of the windows so the lake was visible at every angle. We completely changed everything apart from the window shutters and the front door.

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.”
