Sloane Club building, or indeed Nell Gwynne
House, Chelsea Cloisters or a million other smart
residences across London, I would agree with your
preferences 100%.
Mitre House is opposite a McDonalds, above a
parade of shops, one of which is still empty, on
a ludicrously busy main, but popular,
thoroughfare, with an outlook to the rear that
would make Dickens ashamed. It's a miracle that
flats here are selling for £625,000 with these
environs and the paucity of the communal parts,
despite Estate Agents' descriptions of it being
10 minutes from Sloane Square etc.
Whatever we do with the Interior decor will help
to enhance the value (even nothing doesn't seem
to detract purchasers....!) and we have the
choice to go, as you say, contemporary (meaning
in your parlance like everybody else), classic
and elegant OR, like the dustbins, we do
something different!
That difference is simply to warm the place up,
with some attractive warm colours, fitments
(lighting) and furnishings in keeping slightly
more with it's very few, but quite attractive art
deco features - most notably the Windows, the
partition doors/window panes on each floor and
the floor - let alone the exterior Portland Stone
and front door granite.
And that's it - Sloane Club or Chelsea Arts Club
- we'll see what the final preferences are and
then proceed.
I'm not sure what you mean re: various quotes etc
- yes, they are all done as I explained
previously (see my email to you and Maria on
20/3/12) at end of this marathon) and the actual
specifications (not the costs quoted) which they
are all based on is ALL in the Project Book -
every word in the Appendices i-viii.:
Painting the communal areas two colour (3 quotes)
Floor cleaning (3 quotes)
Lift refurb (3 quotes)
Communal Windows (3 quotes)
Brassware (3 quotes)
Lighting and electrics (3 quotes)
New, this that and the other (3 quotes)
I hope you don't actually expect me to start
discussing each and every quote at this stage or
we'll be at this point forever - it's simple, at
present the Project Book (Draft 6) describes in
finite detail exactly what we're getting for
£27,000 - if we do more, it'll rise, if we do
