Featured Project: Lenzie

The Challenge

This flat, located on the top floor of a building in a popular area of Lenzie . The top floor offered advantages like a lack of damp issues and easy access for rewiring via the loft space. However, it also meant a great deal of effort to get materials and tools to the property, adding time and “sweat” to the renovation process.

We purchased the flat on the open market with a specific goal: to find a buyer who wanted a second home in Scotland and was keen to be involved in the design process.

Our Solutions

Our team started by making a significant change to the flat’s layout, repurposing two existing cupboards to create a small toilet and a dedicated laundry room. This provided the home with two essential and highly sought-after amenities without compromising on space.

The key to this project was the direct collaboration with the buyer. This approach allowed us to design and sell the property to their exact specifications. They were able to work with us to select every detail, including the kitchen and bathroom designs, flooring, interior colours, and doors. This bespoke process ensured the final home perfectly met their needs as a second property.

The Result

The flat was delivered as a bespoke property, designed to the buyer’s exact specifications and sold directly without returning to the open market. The ability to directly influence the design from the outset created a truly unique second home perfectly tailored to their tastes and requirements.

The collaborative process was a success, leading to a direct sale to a satisfied buyer and highlighting the value of a client-led design approach.
