Collaboration

I’m the owner and founder of Your Builder. Kate and I share the love for architectural builds and interiors. I met Kate 6 years ago and ever since we have been working together there has always been a real synergy. She listens to my clients, she truly cares, for me personally her design style resonates with me which makes it truly exciting for me as well. I learn’t early on you have to be passionate about what you do and the eye for detail Kate has and the passion and energy she puts in is outstanding.

Apartment Renovation

We loved that Kate was able to create an island for our kitchen that doubles as storage and prep and also a place for us to sit and eat were impressive to say the least. Kate re worked the existing layout which has enhanced the function of our apartment and the much needed storage. Kate is professional in her approach, practical and supportive. She understood the scandi style and vibe we were after and I would highly recommend her. The materials chosen and finishing were outstanding, we are thoroughly enjoying our new space and glad we don’t have to sit on the couch to eat our dinners anymore.

Batch New Build

Thanks so much for all your hard effort Kate in guiding us through the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, wardrobes and custom made cabinetry, design, colours and finishes. To be honest we were so overwhelmed with all the choices available and you really made the whole process easier for us. Being able to see everything you presented us in 3D was a great visualisation and reassurance for us before construction started. We are really enjoying spending our time here up at the batch over summer holidays.

Coastal Retreat Renovation

It was my first ever experience in a house renovation when I engaged with Kate to design my kitchen.  Kate was fantastic to deal with and made the process of designing the kitchen and choosing the look and materials so easy.  I love Kate’s vision and enthusiasm for her work.  I actually loved the look of the kitchen Kate designed for us so much I carried on the look right through our house.  Kate also designed the bar area in our dining room, entertainment unit for our main lounge, the main bathroom and master bedroom ensuite, walk in wardrobe, linen cupboard, entrance cupboard and bedroom wardrobes.  We are so happy with what Kate has delivered.

Country Living New Build

We built our house with Cedar, concrete, Schist and Macrocarpa inside and out. After living in the house for a couple of years we asked Kate if she could help compliment these wonderful materials.  Kate helped create a unique and wonderful finished look that our house deserves.  She has a great eye for detail and is highly skilled in recognising our tastes and included the environment that we are surrounded with on our lifestyle block.  She gave us confidence to step out of our comfort zone and try different colours and design ideas ie shelving, artwork, mirrors, curtains, bedding, feature walls and more!   She has a vast knowledge of products and sources items I would never have known existed which makes this journey all the more worthwhile.  She also gave wonderful outside entertaining ideas with plants, pots and furniture.  We get many compliments from our friends and family who visit and are extremely proud of how our lovely home so pleased Kate has been involved to make this happen!
