“With both projects in which we hired Tara we found her to be professional and friendly. Our living space has been completely transformed thanks to her vision incorporating innovative use of light and space…a fantastic space for entertaining family and friends. We would have no hesitation in hiring Tara again in the future.”

“Getting Tara involved was one of the best decisions we made in our house extension project. Tara was very easy to work with throughout and her designs were of very high quality. She had a strong working realationship with our builder and engineer which helped make things quite efficient. We started with a dated 1950s house and ended with a modern, bright, warm and well-designed house”
