What clients say
"Managing a renovation from abroad with a newborn would have felt impossible without Cora — she handled the entire process with clarity and independence, and the finished apartment was rented within a week of being listed.”
@Katerina, project BK25
"Cora helped us refine our ideas into a clear, functional design and guided us away from costly mistakes. The renovation was well-coordinated throughout, and the final space feels both practical and thoughtfully designed for everyday living.”

BK25
A partial renovation of a 92 sqm inner-city apartment, completed for a client living abroad. The project involved managing the full process remotely — from design decisions and contractor coordination to execution and final handover — with minimal day-to-day involvement required from the client.Within a limited budget and scope, the focus was on creating a cohesive, rental-ready home through thoughtful upgrades, including a redesigned entrance area and custom-built bathroom furniture. The completed apartment was rented out within one week of being listed.
And just a glimpse into the "before":
FI24
A full interior design and execution project for a children’s room, created to be playful, functional, and adaptable over time. Working within a limited footprint, the design focused on making every element serve multiple purposes while keeping the space practical for everyday life.Custom-built solutions include a bunk bed with integrated storage, stairs, and a hidden guest bed; a double-sided wardrobe with bookshelves; a desk designed to grow with the children; and storage integrated around the heating panel. The result is a warm, highly functional room designed to evolve alongside its users.
AG24
A bathroom renovation for a family of four, designed within a small footprint and moderate budget while preserving key practical needs — including a bathtub and sufficient storage. The goal was to transform an outdated space into one that feels brighter, more cohesive, and aligned with the rest of the home.Through thoughtful material selection and practical design decisions, the project balances everyday functionality with stronger aesthetics. The result is a bathroom that works better for daily life while feeling significantly more considered and enjoyable to use.

MA23
A custom wardrobe and workspace solution designed for a growing family, bringing together increased storage needs, a home office, and display space within an existing bedroom. The challenge was to integrate multiple functions while responding to unusually high ceilings, existing windows, and a radiator — without overwhelming the room.Developed through close collaboration with the clients, the design combines concealed storage, integrated lighting, open shelving, and a built-in desk in a way that feels both highly functional and personal. The result is a tailored solution that supports everyday life while reflecting the people living with it.
