Creating Amazing Spaces
Blackshaw Interior Design present their latest renovation project.
A project which is exactly what
Blackshaw Interior Design has become known for, taking a house apart and then putting it back together again in a modern, aesthetically pleasing way. Experts in this field of work, we are becoming market leaders. WHY? because by working with a trusted team of skilled craftsmen who are able to deliver the project on time bringing to life everything the clients had in mind.
The Project- Las Brisas: A project like this starts with a design fee which enables our design team to make a complete design study. This involves a lot of hours of drawings plans, offering 2D and 3D options.
Once the clients are happy with the schemes we have put together along with the complete construction and furnishing quotes we can get to work. This also includes our project management, putting together the contractor team, and negotiating entirely for the client on their behalf throughout.
This particular project took approximately 4 months from start to finish. The villa was in need of complete modernisation for an English families second home in the heart of the Golf Valley Nueva Andalucía. The once loved chintzy pelmets, and beige bathroom suites were not to their liking or ours for that matter. We created our signiture look of home from home feel, updated contemporary and welcoming.
Outside we redesigned and enlarged the swimming pool, making the pool stairs and aqua( effect with white tiles) coloured water the first things you see on your approach down the stairs, through the double doors into the lounge.
The other most important thing is curb appeal, you want your house to look like the best house on the street, the one everyone’ s talking about. The curved wall, and overgrown shrubs were just too much. We wanted straight lines, saying this house is taken care of, strong and secure, with huge wooden and chrome sliding gates to replace the old iron ones. Up and down contemporary lights finished off the streamlined look.
Other construction details included making the whole interior shared living space open plan, but cleverly giving each section its identity. The log burning 3 sided fire which can be enjoyed from all angles ties the space together. There really isn’ t one piece of the house which hasn’ t been replaced or at least given some updating.
Obviously the clients are rest assured that they have brand new electrical, plumbing, under floor heating, air-conditioning throughout, and all the latest technology. We chose porcelain wood effect flooring, which is homely and easy to maintain. PVC windows, secure, made from sustainable materials, and the best insulation systems.
Ceiling design often overlooked also played a really important role in our project, as it enabled us to hide A / C ducting, and also create great lighting effects, with drop ceilings for LED spotlights, and recessed LED lighting effects on all the dimmers. In the bathrooms and kitchen we can also create ambience lighting effects with LED behind mirrors and under units, counters. It really is a cost effective way of making a difference.
The furnishings where all coordinated to fit in with the style of the new house, with lots of communication between ourselves and the clients. Accents colours, luxury silks and velvets, against cool lacquers and dark black or grey oak wood. With years of experience working with brands and manufacturers we know who to rely on for quality, cost and deadlines. All of our soft furnishings are made on site, so we really can control the quality and make design decisions quickly.
