What Clients Say

Renovate

I have recently purchased a small terraced house in need of love. Eva did amazing work during our consultation and gave me some great insight into how I could use the space. She took into account pieces I had, and made suggestions for small changes that could impact the look and feel of the property. Would highly recommend Eva!

Extend

The best 2.5 hours spent. Eva came up with some wonderfully creative yet practical solutions to a small space.She had some very clever suggestions that I would never have considered but they are sure to make all the difference. I can’t wait to get her back to sort out a few more conundrums! Highly recommend.

As an Architect, my life has always revolved around houses. I completed the equivalent of a PhD in house design whilst staying at home with my 2 children during their pre-school years. There is just no better way to hone your skills in optimising Space, Light & Storage in the home. 

Advice for your Home Project

You have enough space but it is not working well. Rooms don’t flow, the house feels dark and storage is a problem. Rethinking your existing layout can unlock the potential in the space you already have.

More space would answer your problems. But where to begin? How big does it need to be? How should it connect with the existing house? Layout and light are key elements of a successful extension.

You have a site, a budget and dreams for your new home. But how do you turn those dreams into a design? How do you make best use of the sun, the views and the pace? It all starts with the right layout.

Space, light and storage are the pillars of good house design. Organising your space well, maximising natural light and providing clever storage will help create a home that works not only now, but into the future.
