We built our own house about 5 years ago but never finished the entrance/upstairs living area in terms of design and finishes. It has basically remained an open unfinished space since we moved in. We are now at the point whereby we would like to make use of the area but due to shape/size we are at a bit of a loss at how best to utilize the space. Hence the reason I am contacting you. Ideally I would like somebody to come in and construct some suggestions for review before proceeding to complete finish of project ranging from painting and wallpapering to installation of furnishings such as rugs, sofas, plants etc.

I just bought a house and the current kitchen is too small and is upstairs close to bedrooms. There was a room that I believe was initially a garage which I would like to turn into a new kitchen but it's 10m length but only 3m width and now am not sure if this kitchen will be nice there. Again I would like to make additions. 2 bedrooms and living room, preferably a double storey add-on. Finally this house has a pool in front yard and I would like a privacy wall that will look nice .

We have a proposed layout in mind with basic floor sketches available, which should make the architecture design phase of this initiative reasonably quick and easy.
