STYLE STATEMENT + METHODOLOGY.
Contemporary, Minimalist and Mid - Century Modern are styles typical of Yvonne’s practice. Often, Industrial, Hollywood Regency or Art Deco details are incorporated where architecturally suitable.
The approach Yvonne takes to every project is rooted in your wish list and the inherent style of your home, with careful attention to ergonomics and maximizing use of space.
Meticulous attention to design and construction details is brought to all projects, especially the spatial flow, vistas, clean-ability, ergonomics, feng shui, colour, scale, balance and appropriate use of products and materials.
