Fourteen a.m.

Cultivating Your Sanctuary:

The Architect's Guide

Professional Home Renovation Tools & Wisdom for Mindful Homeowners

In the journey of creating a home sanctuary, finding the right path can feel elusive. Many find themselves caught between costly full architectural services and the uncertainty of managing alone.

Drawing from years of creating landmark projects and intimate home sanctuaries, I'm sharing the professional tools and wisdom that make thoughtful renovation possible - without the full-service fees.

The Journey

An intimate 8-week course where you'll gain:

  • Professional architectural tools for confident decision-making

  • Clarity in managing budgets and contractors

  • Wisdom to avoid costly mistakes

  • Understanding of materials and spatial flow

  • Knowledge to navigate regulations with ease

Your Guide

My path has led from crafting iconic projects with Renzo Piano, David Chipperfield, and Junya Ishigami, to creating intimate sanctuaries for London's homeowners. Having also transformed two homes of my own, I understand both the professional expertise needed and the real challenges of working with limited budgets.

Through fourteen a.m., I bring sophisticated project management tools from commercial architecture into residential design, because your home sanctuary deserves the same careful attention as any landmark project.

Our clients words

  • Fourteen a.m. have been wonderful as we have worked together to re-imagine our house.  Winnie carefully listened to all our ideas and designed a thoughtful and sensitive scheme, bringing in her own creativity and introducing textures and materials that we would never have come up with ourselves.  She has also been super supportive on costs, helping guide our plans and suggesting areas where we could make our budget work harder for us.  We’re still in construction but the project is looking great and we’re so pleased that we chose Fourteen a.m. to go on this journey with us.  

    Jill

  • Winnie was a pleasure to work with on our full house renovation. Her ethos and design decisions were exactly what we hoped for. It was far from a simple project but Winnie's insight, guidance and creativity were incredibly valuable. We're delighted with the end product. 

    Ed

  • We’re truly impressed by the exceptional architectural work Winnie brought to our 1930’s semi- detached house. Her innovative designs and keen attention to detail brought our vision to life beautifully, combining both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Winnie’s dedication, professionalism, and collaborative spirit made the project a success beyond our expectations. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

    Fei

  • We couldn’t be happier with the work Winnie did on our rear extension. Right from the start, she really took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life with her brilliant ideas and thoughtful design. Her attention to detail and ability to maximize the space while making it flow perfectly with the rest of our home was amazing. Winnie was always professional, approachable, and supportive, which made the whole process so much smoother and clearer! The final result has exceeded our expectations. We’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable architect.
