During our first client meeting, as these were past clients of mine on their next project, we cut to the chase and ran through a complete design brief on the spot.
Our direction was to develop a creative and unique design, “This will be our forever home…. We want it to be really special”.
This journey throughout the complete process was one of my most rewarding and enjoyable projects for a wonderful family.
