Baresca Nottingham Pub and Restaurant Industville is a rapidly expanding company specialising in the design and manufacture of vintage industrial style lighting and furniture. They are in many ways an ideal partner for Concorde BGW with a large and diverse selection of products suitable for a wide range of different projects. One such example their collaboration is illustrated in Concorde BGW’s recently completed design and build project, ‘Baresca’, a pub and restaurant situated in the heart of Nottingham. Working with Industville, Concorde BGW skilfully fulfilled its brief to create a unique environment focusing on fresh, bright and vibrant qualities that looks to spirit and vibe of the city of Barcelona. Within the fantastic Victorian building they created a fabulous eating and drinking environment, with ground floor dining, a light airy dining space on the first floor and a cellar bar reminiscent of the city’s iconic bodegas. The interior scheme too adheres faithfully to the spirit of Catalonia, with an earthy, shabby chic feel in the main dining areas, but played out against the backdrop of the vintage industrial qualities of the building in which it housed. This is cleverly articulated through the use of reclaimed materials, wood and metal that have been used to give the look a dynamic edge. The use of Industville’s fittings throughout the dining area, reflect the vintage industrial style of the building, yet also add to the scheme bringing the unique vision to life. A number of Industville’s products have been innovatively at Baresca to help them create a completely unique environment completely true to the market cafes of Old Town Barcelona. As a company specialising in the design and manufacture of unique industrial vintage style lighting and furniture they are a perfect solution for many companies like Concorde BGW working on large scale projects. The beauty of Industville, is that, they are able to offer the look and style of vintage industrial lighting and furniture without the hassle and additional cost of sourcing originals. All their products are inspired and designed to replicate the look and feel of early twentieth century industrial fixtures and are hand finished by skilled craftsmen to ensure that each item remains entirely unique and thus, remains true to the ethos and appeal of the vintage industrial style, a subtle but vital aspect in creating interiors that appear truly authentic. A variety of Industville fittings have been used by Concorde BGW in the completion of a number of different projects. At Baresca, their Vintage Edison Barn Light – 1 – Wire Pendants , have been creatively used with their high quality black twisted fabric flex looped around adding the drama of the concrete ‘culinary theatre’ kitchen, the dynamic focal point of the eating area. Additionally, Industville’s Brooklyn Vintage Ribbed Glass Retro Dome Pendant has been elegantly utilised to outline the central dining area, a perfect fit for an establishment like Baresca, as it is too inspired by the look and feel of mid-century Europe, with the shade itself is taken from an original 1920’s mould. Other Industville Pendant fittings such as the Brooklyn Vintage Flat Pendant have also been chosen for the interior, with the metallic tones of brass and dark pewter, giving a lovely vintage style glow, enabling Baresca’s interiors to feel both fresh and spacious but perhaps most importantly warm and inviting. Using handcrafted materials, Industville designs authentic and unique products in addition to working with clients to support and adapt products to the most intricate of design concept with the means to produce bespoke lighting and furniture if the project requires.

Scotland faces an ‘enormous challenge’ to build the homes needed for a growing population, according to new research from the UK’s leading property consultancy, JLL. In a new report – Rising to the Challenge – JLL warns that Scotland is not building enough homes to meet either current demand or the Scottish Government’s current recommended targets for homes, with latest figures suggesting development volumes are plateauing at best. The report was launched by JLL at seminars at its Edinburgh and Glasgow offices. In the year to Q2 2015, a total of 15,260 homes were completed, well short of both the five-year average to 2007/8 of 21,170 homes a year, and even further behind the Government’s current recommended target of 36,000 homes a year. The number of households in Scotland is forecast to rise by approximately 74,000 in the five years to 2020, with 15,100 in Edinburgh and a further 10,400 in Glasgow. Even accounting for the Scottish Government’s latest £195M funding stimulus, JLL believes that the forecast increase in households over the next five years will create demand that far outstrips the supply of additional housing. Looking ahead, JLL believes that development activity will begin to rise, albeit modestly, but this will lead to even greater competition and pressure between demand and available supply in both the sales and the lettings markets in Edinburgh and Glasgow. JLL also predicts that the next few years will finally see the embryonic start of Build to Rent or Private Rented Community (PRC) development in Scotland’s key cities. Jason Hogg, Director of JLL’s Residential team in Scotland, said: “2016 will be a year of challenging questions rather than unbridled forward momentum. And there are several questions on a variety of residential issues which need addressing. “The greatest challenge is how the housebuilding industry and the Scottish Government will move towards building the greater volume of homes the country needs. Development activity is better than three to four years ago but still nowhere near the 23,000 homes a year target. The Scottish Government is allocating funds to assist, but we believe closer collaboration with the industry, more innovative and more directly beneficial initiatives as well as higher funding need to be considered if the housing shortfall is to be addressed. “2016 will also bring into play legislation that will rebalance the private landlord and tenant relationships. However, we will have to wait and see whether there are any wider market implications or whether any local authorities will use their rent cap powers.” Edinburgh house prices set for continued growth as supply remains sparse In Edinburgh, the city centre residential sales market is buoyant with demand outstripping available supply. On average, sales prices in the city increased by 3.5% during 2015, continuing a trend of strong growth. This is expected to increase by 22.2% in the five years to 2020. Rental prices, meanwhile, have increased by 6.3% on average and are forecast to rise by 22.8% by 2020. With a growing population, Edinburgh city centre’s development pipeline is sparse. PRC developments are gaining traction, with strong demand but accommodation of this type is not being delivered at the same pace as other tenures. With the city centre land supply constrained, peripheral locations with good transport links such as Leith and West Edinburgh are likely to become more attractive. Glasgow house prices set to rise alongside increase in new development schemes In Glasgow, prices have increased by an average of 4.1% in 2015 with rental values increasing by 5.6%. By 2020 it is anticipated house prices will have increased by 19.3% while rental growth is forecast at 19.9%. Like its capital counterpart, lack of housing continues to be a feature of the Glasgow residential market. However, development activity has increased with a number of key schemes set to be progressed in 2016. This includes the former NS&I and Cowglen Hospital site, which will provide in excess of 500 homes, the Candleriggs scheme in Merchant City and the proposed redevelopment of Jordanhill Campus. This year is also expected to bring further discussion around PRC schemes in the city. Jason Hogg, Director of JLL’s Residential team in Scotland, added: “With some PRC schemes set to get underway in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and with more sites being considered for the private rented model, the shift in development bias towards PRC rather than private sale will be an interesting change to monitor. “The development and private sale markets in Scotland’s larger cities will also have to adapt to the less favourable private investor environment following tax relief and LBTT changes.” The full report – Rising to the Challenge – is available at http://residential.jll.co.uk/new-residential-thinking-home/research/scotland-residential-forecast-february-2016.aspx
