40. How to Elevate a Property Development Project: Key Investments II

Welcome to a new episode of this podcast! Yesterday, 20th June 2024, we celebrated the summer solstice. It's a date I love, just like the equinoxes, especially the spring one. This episode made me remember a previous one about the winter solstice, published in December 2022. Back then, I talked about the orientation of buildings and how solstices and equinoxes affect our interiors. In this episode, we address the importance of certain design elements that can completely transform a project. Today, we will delve into taps and their crucial role in defining the style and durability of bathrooms. I will also share an anecdote about a project in London where, thanks to the investment in taps and some affordable marbles, an impressive design transformation was achieved. Additionally, we will discuss the importance of proper sockets and switches in a project and how they can elevate or ruin the design of a kitchen or any other room. Practical advice and personal reflections on interior design. I’m Miriam Prada, a passionate interior designer, and every Friday I bring you a new episode full of stories and design strategies.

Thank you so much for stopping by to listen. Miriam Prada A bit about me... I am a Building Engineer and interior designer, specializing in high-end projects. With 15 years of experience in the design industry, I've had the privilege of collaborating with a wide range of clients, including developers, builders, real estate agents, entrepreneurs, and private clients. I've successfully completed over 25 projects in seven different countries (Spain, the United Kingdom, Bahrain, India, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and Switzerland) and have had the pleasure of working with clients from 11 nationalities. My most valuable project to date exceeds £50 million, and one of my notable achievements was designing a development of 16 apartments where the penthouse set a historic record as the highest-priced one-bedroom per square meter in the history of Westminster, London. Currently based in London, I continue working on multiple local and international projects. Leveraging the capabilities of the digital world, I've produced and launched this podcast, 'Atelier Prada,' where, in a relaxed and colloquial way, I address various topics in the world of interior design with the goal of sharing some of the knowledge acquired over these years.
