Studio At No.11

I recently collaborated with Charlie from Studio at No.11 on a full house refurb in Margate, Kent through my company, Old Town Property Services. Having worked with numerous designer/project managers previously, I found her approach extremely refreshing. Charlie listened to feedback from site, and whilst sticking to her design principles, understood the challenges faced on site and we always found a solution best for the client and final outcome. Charlie is a seriously talented designer with an acute eye for detail, understands the building process inside out and actually what goes into a project of this scale from both sides of the fence. Always available, whether remotely or on site visits, the whole project was managed between us and the end results were stunning. Hope to work together again soon Charlie..

Charlie worked with me on a remote consultation basis and I am incredibly happy with the end result. She redesigned the layout for my very awkward sized kitchen making a difficult space a delight to be in, with function and purpose. She also helped me choose the materials ensuring it aligned with my original boards, and took the stress out of daunting creative decisions, knowing how everything would come together when I lacked vision! I love my new kitchen and highly recommend working with Studio at No 11.

Charlie worked with me in from inception of ideas, to renovation/ design and key colours and furniture pieces (kitchen, bathroom, living room, basically the whole place) in my canal house in Amsterdam. As a expat, it can be daunting going through such a process alone! Charlie helped from start to finish, keeping the integrity of the space and suggesting classic and bold pieces that made my home the cozy place I love spending time in today. She has an eye for combinations and spaces that were crucial to making my place to special and beautiful. Thank you Charlie!

Creative yet structured, jewel box of ideas and an excellent listener, patient and focused. We had a stellar experience all around. The result - a dream home. We haven’t been an easy customer: me - knowing exactly what I want but cannot precisely describe, detail-obsessed; my husband - demanding and uncompromising on quality. Thank you for not firing us as clients, Charlie. When things didn’t go as planned, Charlie always found a plan B and a plan C; to my crazy ideas, she always came back with multiple options to match. We are utterly grateful for realizing exactly what we dreamed of.

Despite a working background in project management, the thought of renovating my entire flat and what that might look like felt daunting and a tad overwhelming, especially given my jumbled, myriad of ever-changing ideas! And what if I didn't like the end result?? Charlie, a consummate professional, calming stepped in and very quickly ascertained what I was looking for, asked intelligent questions and took the reins, checking in with me where necessary, always driving the project. Her creative direction was spot-on, she totally 'got' the aesthetic I was trying to achieve and her attention to (gorgeous) detail was second to none. She was always mindful of my budget and quick to suggest workable, stylish solutions to fit with my financials. I'm delighted with the end result - my home is both beautiful and functional. I can't wait for her to help me with my garden design!
