Warehouse Apartment
J. Edmonds
"Providing total project management meant that Anna was able to take on all the hassle out of managing contractors, receiving deliveries and purchasing materials - all activities that are difficult to manage for someone who lives on their own and works away 3/4 days a week and most w/e's. This was perfect for me, minimum hassle and maximum results.
Anna was professional throughout the project, focused on success but flexible to have fun around the brief and how it was executed.
Anna has done a fantastic job on transforming the apartment from the blank canvas of a converted lace warehouse to an interesting inviting and relaxing modern living space. Highlights include the 8' x 6' hall mirror surrounded by a rustic wooden frame and up-lights the monochrome master bedroom combining modern styling and classic lines, the blend of abstract art and natural fabrics in the living space and the art museum entrance lobby.
I would certainly use Anna's design consultancy again. I have also recommended her to family and friends especially her management skills, which would invaluable for anyone who does not have the time (or energy) to handle this kind of project themselves."
