You know the feeling that you get when you find yourself in a place that is really well designed. Things just feel right. Light comes in at the right places and times, and magic is created in its play with the subtle mix of materials. The site and exterior are carefully integrated with the interior spaces so that you appreciate your surroundings, but privacy is maintained. The building blends into its location so it feels like it has always been there. Functionally, everything just works - the chaos of day-to-day living is somehow tamed by the clever storage, the well thought-out plan, the hidden details.
I believe that every project, regardless of scale or budget, deserves this level of well considered design.
I have been working with hundreds of clients, on a diverse range of projects across New Zealand for over 25 years, to create magical, personal spaces.
I am also a mother of three children, and currently undertaking my third home renovation, so I know first-hand how great design can transform your life.
Relationships.
Building projects can be stressful. I work hard to make things run smoothly.
I prioritise communication and building strong relationships with my clients and within the project team.
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency.
I love our planet and have always worked hard to ensure that my projects respect it, with sustainable design being a fundamental element of my practice. I have extensive experience in alterations and love using recycled or repurposed materials. Raised in Dunedin, I am passionate about delivering warm, well-ventilated buildings designed to respond to their environment.
My clients understand exactly what they are getting.
Traditional plans can be hard to read, even for experts. I know how much you are investing in your project, and I want you to have confidence that your design solutions match your expectations. I have systemised processes, and use the latest 3D visualisation software to enable virtual walk-throughs and real-time product selection rendering.
