Who We Are

We are a specialized team focused exclusively on residential renovation planning. Our background spans architecture, structural engineering, and interior design.

Collaborative workspace with design professionals

Our Approach

Most architectural firms treat apartment renovations as minor projects. We see them differently.

Urban living spaces present unique challenges: load-bearing walls in unexpected places, outdated plumbing routes, neighbors sharing structural elements. These constraints demand creative problem-solving rather than template solutions.

We established our practice in 2011 after noticing a gap in the market. Homeowners needed professional planning services without the overhead of large firms, and contractors needed clear documentation to work from.

What Drives Our Work

Precision

Measurements matter. A five-centimeter error on paper becomes a costly problem during construction.

Clarity

Our drawings are designed for builders to understand instantly. Ambiguity leads to delays and disputes.

Compliance

Building regulations exist for good reason. We ensure your renovation meets every requirement before work begins.

Pragmatism

Beautiful designs that cannot be built serve no one. We balance aesthetics with structural reality.
