HOME DESIGN STRATEGYYou can always feel when a home
doesn't work. You just can't always say why.
It's rarely the tapware or the tile. It's usually a decision made months earlier, on the floor plan, before anyone thought to question it. I've spent twenty years finding that moment, and getting it right before it's built.
The enemy isn't spending.
It's wasted spending.
Here's the part nobody explains: a room costs the same whether you use it every day or three times a year. At $5,000 a square metre, a spare room can run to $80,000, money that never made it to your kitchen. It's rarely the tapware. It's almost always the floor plan.
Meet Ania Mikina
For over twenty years, I've watched people pour their savings, hopes and dreams into building and renovating, only to run over budget and out of money for the things they actually wanted. It's almost always avoidable. I co-founded Zephyr and Stone to show women where to spend their money, so they get the home they're dreaming of, in budget.
