Tim believes the main design focus for a home is providing spaces that are light, warm and reflect the clients’ lifestyle.

“Each home is individually designed to meet the clients design brief, lifestyle and budget. I am constantly balancing best design versus cost, ensuring the project is feasible for our clients. It’s usually the most practical solution that gets the best result,” says Tim.
