We redid our entire 40-year-old house - bedrooms, lounge, dining room, kitchen - because we decided to stay in the house for many more years but it was too dilapidated to be comfortable. The new space ( especially the reconfigured floorplan) has changed our life completely. The doors that open onto the pool, our large deck and the staircase connecting the floors outside improved the flow considerably. Kim created a harmonious space and JH was excellent on the technical side - together they are passionate, pedantic and thorough and made an outdated house modern.

Kim redid y kitchen which was cold and underutilized. My new space allows for a hidden scullery area and 2 separate sinks. One for dishes and one for vegetables, plus 2 dustbin areas. Kim took my needs and taste into account and designed around those, giving it that extra special touch. The space has a wonderfully comforting feeling and is definitely my favourite room in the house- I would not change a thing.

Kim Williams and I met on Private Property when I was looking to move to Cape Town. She suggested I build and showed me a plot in Parklands North in the Security Enclave. I had never built and was as nervous as hell! The house was built without any drama and I was able to start the Airbnb side of my income about a month after I moved in. Kim incorporated me in the process of choosing the colour schemes, lighting, tiles and discussing any changes. Meaning, I got a modern and easy to maintain home perfect for socialising I wanted.

Kim redid most of my townhouse with the patience to gently nudge me to enhance my outdated place. My new space was an important part of my healing process after my divorce and illness and being housebound at the time, you can just imagine the positive emotional and psychological effect it had on me. It was so easy because they took everything over - renovation, garden and decor - and made sure it was all done on time. The two of them are a real dream team.
