Home renovation architect providing an in depth approach to 'better living design'
An interior architect focuses on designing a space that creates a balance between style and function for the people living in that environment.
Unlike interior designers, interior architects also encompass the structural renovation and are heavily involved in a more technical level in the design process. They work with builders, contractors, and technicians to facilitate the rebuilding or renovation of an existing structure, and must have a license to practice architecture.
Studio You uses ‘better living design’ to solve arguments and solutions to practical issues, so people can enjoy their time together in the same space. Through better organised spaces and aesthetics, we change their perception of the environment they live in and how they perceive themselves in that environment.
As licensed professional practitioners, we can alter architectural drawings, co-ordinate building consents, manage structural alterations and project manage the installation of all parts of your home renovation.
So while the interior furnishings and finishing touches are also a part of our work, the real plus point for our clients is that both the design and build of all the technical and structural aspects of your home renovations are also managed by us with an exceptional level of service and workmanship.
"We love to hear our clients tell us about how much they enjoy living in their homes and what a big difference their renovation has made in their lives. Then we know, we have achieved our mission of making people's lives better, one renovation at a time." ~ Surita and Pieter
