Following our visit, we are developing the complete renovation of both main bathrooms and the targeted improvements elsewhere in your home. The bathrooms call for a high standard of specification, with finishes, cabinetry, fixtures and lighting considered together.
Work is already under way, and the existing bathrooms have been modelled from the site visit. During the first week we will review the room-by-room design proposals with you; once the design is approved, we will use the second week to develop the construction budget.
Your preference for German fixtures will guide the selections. We will check quality, compatibility with the services, availability, spare parts and warranty before confirming each specification.
Room-by-room scope
Review of the interventions
The drawings represent the spaces from the visit. The design, materials and products will be reviewed with you before they are incorporated into the construction budget.
The scope includes replacing the kitchen luminaires. We will review their position in relation to the island, preparation surfaces and existing cabinetry.
Selections will distinguish general and task lighting, considering direction, reflections and glare. The proposed location and characteristics of each luminaire will be presented for your review.

02 / Powder room
Vanity countertop and targeted improvements.
The intervention focuses on the vanity countertop and lighting. We will study the relationship between the basin, tap, mirror and the sloping plane of the staircase.
The extent of retaining or replacing existing elements will be agreed during design review. The countertop will be defined by material, edges, wall junctions and verified dimensions.

03 / Ceiling below
Water-ingress assessment and ceiling repair.
As discussed during the visit, the moisture damage to the ceiling below is associated with the upstairs bathroom issue. A technical assessment must establish the source and extent before the repair is defined.
The budget will distinguish investigation, correction of the source, testing and ceiling reinstatement. Finishing follows verification of the correction; a drawing of the damaged surface is not a diagnosis.

04 / Ground-floor bathroom
Complete renovation of the bedroom bathroom.
We will develop the full proposal for finishes, vanity, storage, mirror, fixtures, shower screen and lighting. We will revisit the Café Cannes reference we discussed, adapted to the proportions and use of this bathroom.
Wall-elevation composition, material junctions and fixture positions will be considered together. The preference for German products will be checked against installation and supply requirements.

05 / Service room
Lighting improvements and room coordination.
We will review lighting in relation to the surfaces, furniture and uses of the service room. The aim is to improve its function and give it a treatment consistent with the rest of the home.
Luminaires and the targeted adjustments agreed with you will be defined, distinguishing retained elements from interventions included in the construction budget.

06 / Service bathroom
Shower enclosure, hot water, windows and skylight.
We will study improving or replacing the shower enclosure and assess the condition and operation of the windows and skylight. Replacement is subject to assessment and your approval; it is not assumed.
The scope includes checking the water heater and hot-water route, since hot water currently does not reach the upstairs bathroom. The solution will follow verification of the installation, without attributing the fault to an element on appearance alone.

07 / Upstairs bathroom · vanity
Cabinetry, storage and fixtures.
The complete renovation includes the basin, countertop, mirror, storage and fixtures. Their proportions, heights and junctions will be studied within the bathroom layout.
We will review high-quality materials and products with you, including German options. Proposed models will be checked for dimensions, connections, maintenance, availability and warranty before being priced as final selections.

08 / Upstairs bathroom · shower
Wet area, shower screen and finishes.
The proposal for this same bathroom will address the shower area, finish junctions, shower screen, fixtures and lighting. The water-ingress assessment is among the technical issues to resolve before surfaces are closed.
Design and budgeting will distinguish service work and corrective work from visible finishes. Once products and the technical solution are defined, the sequence, tests and execution conditions will be established.
