    Emma + Jack / Waterview Residence owners

  • "Kate is our designer, but she is also a friend. Working with her is fun and collaborative. She quickly understood what we were trying to achieve and how to make that work in the space we had. She nudged us to make a bold paint choice and it so worked. It feels just like the beach-side cottage we wanted when we saw this home. "
