REIMAGINED, BY STUDIO ATELIER

At Studio Atelier, we’ve honed in on 5 core elements which form the foundation for the way we approach design that has proven to be impactful across projects of all scales and budgets. We call them our ‘Feel Good Principles’ and through Reimagined we use them as the basis for unpacking where you’re at now and providing you with personalised and simple to understand design solutions

 
 
 
 
 
 

You’re stuck in the throes of renovating, building, or designing your home and you’re getting tripped up by things that you don’t understand, feeling overwhelmed by all the decisions that you need to make and need some reassurance that the decisions your making are the right ones for you, your family and your lifestyle.

You know what you want, but you don’t know the nitty gritty of how to make it happen.

 

 

Reimagined, by Studio Atelier bridges the gap between what you say you want, what you need, what gets designed and ultimately your dream home. You’ll get the support of highly regarded industry professionals with over 25 years’ experience in designing and renovating boutique homes without the financial commitment of our full-service offerings.

 
 

We believe that good design should be accessible to all so we’re making it happen.

 

Reimagined will help you avoid costly mistakes that come back to haunt you and feeling like you’re locked into a cookie cutter design that doesn’t reflect your needs and lifestyle.

Let us take the pressure off and put our expert eyes to work on your current building plans, ideas, concerns, and challenges and give you the confidence to provide feedback to your team on what you’re trying to achieve, make decisions with clarity and create a home that will support you and your lifestyle for years to come.

What they’re saying

"Some people seem to love the design/build process but I HATE making decisions like this, and really didn't know what I actually wanted. At first, the builders seem to know what they are talking about and I felt semi-confident with what I was getting. When I started looking into things further and getting other peoples opinions (and there was so many opinions) I began to question the plans and my choices. The cracks started to appear in the process and I began to feel rushed and then I really felt like I needed some proper guidance in the design. I also went to an Open House Event and looking at the final product of an architecturally designed house compared to what I was looking at on my floorplans really made me question if I would be happy with my final house. After talking to Kim & Jeff I was able to see the value in going smaller and having better finishes, and I finally felt really confident in the design, like things weren't being missed and that the impacts of design choices were fully thought through. The main changes made were to the kitchen and living area and I'm now confident that this won't be just the same stock standard build that every house gets and our house will have a point of difference." -

"We are fortunate enough to be in the process of building our family home, to which I chose to do the selections myself, and what an overwhelming job that is! After trying to navigate multiple trips to tile suppliers, all the different tap finishes and how I could make it be trendy - but still classic, I knew it was time to contact Kim and I’m so glad I did! I basically got to pick Kim’s talented mind on anything and everything interiors, specific to our home. I left feeling so at ease and excited about my selections thanks to Kim’s help and I was able to secure in those and move onto other areas of the house. Kim’s experience, knowledge and attention to detail is astounding. From the finest details which make a room to just knowing what you’re trying to achieve when you have trouble articulating it, Kim achieves it. She is professional and warming in her demeanour and approach. I can’t recommend Kim enough!" - Sarah Menezies
