  • Anita Kane was the architect who brought about the transformation of my now delightful onebedroom apartment in Manly. Working with the interiors only, she worked her magic and achieved all the practical results I was seeking, storage, better spatial configuration and more workable updated kitchen and bathroom plus an aesthetic make over. However, it was her eye for design, the bespoke joinery plans, and details, down to choices of taps, handles and colour combinations, cupboards placement, curtain blinds and floor, that made the result exquisite. It all worked to create a lovely livable space. Anita was a delight to work with and proved skillful dealing with builders and tradesman, getting the best from them; so important to the smooth running of a project. The preliminary discussions which included compliance requirements and boring paperwork was all handled by Anita painlessly. If I do this again, and I might, I would have no hesitation in asking Anita to work with me and happy to recommend to others, you would not be disappointed.

  • Thanks to Anita who turned an unusual area into a freeflowing modern space. With not much of a brief from us, her ideas and creativity have given us a home we could never quite have imagined. She has an amazing attention to detail and her collaboration with our builder was second to none. Thanks so much for everything you did, we are very happy clients. Cath and Neville
