Sometimes you don’t need a full design service, just the right advice at the right time.
My advisory services offer focused professional guidance to help you understand the potential of a property, make more informed decisions and feel clearer about what to do next.
Whether you are considering a home before you buy or wondering how to make the most of the one you already have, I look at the bigger picture: how the home could support the way you want to live, whether the existing space is working hard enough and where your renovation budget is likely to have the greatest impact.
Available Australia wide, remotely or in person where available.
ADVISORY
PRE PURCHASE ADVICE
COULD THIS HOUSE BECOME THE HOME YOU WANT, WITHIN YOUR RENOVATION BUDGET?
You have found a property you love, but something isn't quite right.
Perhaps the layout doesn't work for your family. You need another bedroom. The kitchen is in the wrong place. You want better connection to the garden. Or you can see the potential, but aren't sure how much you would need to change to make it work.
Before making one of life's biggest financial decisions, I can help you understand whether the property has the potential to become the home you are imagining.
-
We will look at how well the property could support the way you want to live, where I see its greatest opportunities and limitations, whether the existing space is likely to be sufficient or additional space may be worth considering, and whether your aspirations for the property and your renovation budget feel reasonably aligned.
The purpose isn't to design the renovation. It is to help you make a more informed decision about whether this is the right house for you.

You will complete a questionnaire about how you live, what you are looking for in a home, your priorities, non negotiables and approximate renovation budget, and provide a link to the property.

PRE RENOVATION ADVICE
WHAT DOES YOUR HOUSE ACTUALLY NEED TO BECOME THE HOME YOU WANT?
You know your home isn't working as well as it could, but you aren't sure what you should do about it.
Do you actually need more space? Could the existing footprint work harder? Should you extend, reconfigure or rethink how you are using the space you already have?
Before committing to a significant renovation, I can help you identify where your money and effort are likely to make the biggest difference.
-
We will look at what isn't working in your home now, how you would like to live differently, whether the existing footprint has enough space to support those needs, where I see the greatest opportunities for change and which moves I believe are worth investigating further.
We will also consider where your renovation budget is likely to have the greatest impact, helping you understand what is worth prioritising before you begin investing in design and construction.
The purpose isn't to resolve or design your renovation. It is to give you clarity on the direction worth pursuing next.
