What they say...

Madeleine, Sarah and Pierangelo supported our need to refurbish an apartment that lacked proper living provisions and finishes. As an architect living and working in Hong Kong, the ideas of what to do were clear however the implementation was the challenge. The team Madeleine provided advised and supported on statutory authority compliance, material and product sourcing and finally building. The refurbishment was well done and we were able to move in with little disruption to our plans. Our idea was to retain the simplicity of the historical building and add well-considered and well-made additions that would suit our family’s preferences. Italian craftsmanship is well known however the challenge was to find good value craftsmanship without spending a fortune on what is a holiday apartment. Again Madeleine’s team understood what we wanted to achieve and found those craftsmen. The end result is an apartment we love to be in as a family. Thanks to Madeleine, Sarah and Pierangelo.
