‘Nina was recommended to me via a third party, and I must say that I have been exceptionally happy with the work Nina did for my renovation. She understood my needs and preferences quickly and came up with great ideas. My home is reasonably small terrace house and Nina made the most of the space and maximised the light. Her advice was always sound and well considered. Nina is very patient, did a wonderful job communicating with me about the renovations (I live abroad) and I was comfortable with Nina making decisions on my behalf. Nina's experience, skill, vision and professionalism was truly reflected in the quality of the end product - a result much better than I had anticipated. I couldn't recommend Nina strongly enough.’ - Adam C

The client requested a more ‘pared back’ existence, free from clutter and unnecessary things.

This project saw the transformation of an existing heritage terrace into a light filled and seemingly more spacious house. Natural finishes and light filled spaces create a calming retreat which opens up to the sky.

A compact kitchen is designed to open up to the courtyard so you can read the paper in the sun perched in the garden .
Hidden mosquito screens can be pulled across the window for sun and insect protection.
