Projects _NW3 & The Cabin
Anthi has been the sole architect and designer on two significant projects in our home-the construction from scratch with listed planning permission, of an extension of our kitchen which we now call “the café” and a garden cabin which will function as a work room in the day and a dinner/entertaining space at night. She was also our main contact when she was working with Retrouvius for the total refurbishment of our house in 2011/12. This worked also required listed planning permissions and, as with the other projects mentioned, extensive use of reclaimed as well as new materials to transform a house that had not been touched for 30 years.
Throughout all the above, Anthi has been consistently calm, good humoured, reliable, adaptable and creative, coming up with exciting ideas and options for every small and large aspect of the works. She brings her own sense of style and vision, whilst also listening and adapting to what we, the client hope to achieve. She both encourages us to adjust if she feels that something might not work, but then equally finds ways to make things work so that we can sometimes feel like architects of our own design process!
We have never doubted at any time, whilst working with Anthi that the project would end up being less than we dreamed it would be and in the years following each project we have rarely changed anything, only continued to appreciate the surroundings she has enabled us to create.
