Top Nottingham interior designer, Louise Hunt from Your Space Interiors has created a new "urban oasis" at the £10m Lace Market Square scheme.

A two-bedroomed show apartment will soon be open to potential buyers at the 46 apartment development by Nottingham's Bildurn Properties. Louise has taken her interior design inspiration from the 11,000 sq ft landscaped central piazza at the heart of the scheme, plus the very fashionable yet historical façade of the Lace Market itself.

As Lace Market Square nears completion this spring over 70% of the apartments have already been sold off plan. The past few months there has been a considerable amount of interest in the exclusive development in Nottingham's fashionable Lace Market district. Bildurn has decided that a show apartment is an ideal way to introduce the scheme to potential buyers of the last few remaining apartments.

As well and the landscaped piazza, Louise Hunt was inspired by the exterior architecture of the building, designed by Franklin Ellis (who have established a reputation for city centre regeneration). Both elements of the scheme are original to the Nottingham landscape, with a high quality finish and a thoughtful approach to the potential owner occupiers and visitors to the square.

Louise commented "The colours we chose for the apartment were inspired by both the material already being used for the building and the fashionable colour palette in keeping with this design style.

"The overall interior scheme is high quality, contemporary with a relaxing feel, to enhance this well designed project. We used natural finishes such as oak for the bedroom furniture, plus muted blues, browns and pewter within the colour scheme and modern sofas and chairs with clean lines. Contemporary curtains and blinds were utilised to frame the oversized windows that let light flood into the apartment. They are both simple and modern adding to the uncluttered and spacious feel."

"We wanted to reflect the overall concept for Lace Market Square within the mood of the decor. As well as considering the potential home owners vision for the home they would like to live in and how they would like to live there."

Louise also worked with award winning design duo Wolfgang & Heron who are creating the landscaping for the unique central piazza. Artwork within the show apartment includes works by the landscape architect and artist Fiona Heron, including some unusual pieces that were the original ideas for the landscaped piazza. The public square will have a true European feel to it ideal for al fresco dining or just relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.

On the square box and beech green hedging and granite terraces will be complemented by oak seating and metal sculptural trees. The root of the design is the idea of 'landscape art' enfolding art and landscape architecture together.

Jane Peake, Sales Manager at Savill's New Homes Department added; "We've worked with Louise Hunt on a number of developments around Nottingham and we're delighted that she was commissioned to work on Lace Market Square. Louise is very talented and particularly good at identifying the right look and style for a new build scheme that helps inspire potential buyers."

Guaranteed to enhance the city's dynamic cultural and social life Lace Market Square neighbours sophisticated eateries and top fashion retailers.

Prices range from £155,000 for a two-bed, one-bathroom apartment, to £185,000 - £190,000 for a two-bed, two-bathroom apartment, all with secure underground parking.
