A basement level bar features panelled walls and mirrored ceilings to create a boudoir feel to the space . Blueridge made a pewter topped bar with profiled edges to detailed designs created by the French Design team . A fully bespoke DJ equipment desk was made to designs agreed with the French Hotelier himself who has a penchant of ‘ hands on ’ design for his Hotels around the World .
Guests using the bar can move to the exterior where a small courtyard was built featuring tiled walls and five bespoke trellis panels made by Blueridge . The design is a classic Versailles detail which is unsurprising given the French Designers association with the Palace . Two panels involved curving the panels to meet the wall curves . Blueridge made laser cut steel frames to glue up the panels for a perfect fit to the wall . A Canadian Yellow Cedar for durability was used with a bespoke paint finish to blend in with the original tiles .
The Hotel has opened to wide acclaim for the interior design . Blueridge were asked to make Vanity desks for the rooms based on an original William Morris design . Back of house high gloss furniture was also made and installed by Blueridge to the French Team ’ s very detailed designs .
When approached by a Designer looking at an Interior scheme for a well known Film Director in Surrey , Blueridge were key in designing and installing a feature cut away in the two storey ex Granary timber building . A Helical staircase was designed and made to the requirements of the Interior Designer . A spiral stainless steel
handrail was fabricated at the Blueridge Workshops and fitted perfectly around the perimeter of the staircase . Meeting the glazed surround of the stairwell perfectly . Blueridge were asked to remove the ‘ modern ’ oak detailing for the interior walls and procured old oak beams which were sliced in the workshops and fitted to the walls and plastered in . Creating an original period look . Blueirdge also used scalpings from the beams to create a period door using a local Blacksmith in Shropshire to make the running gear and handles .
Further Old Oak beams were procured and sliced to form a period bandsawn floor leaving the bandsaw marks in for a textured finish . The whole floor being waxed and fitted with false cut clasp nails to simulate a nailed floor .
