Living Design is a personally-run renovations company owned by Wendy Holmes, specializing in the design and construction of large-scale house renovations and the creation of beautiful homes, in Cape Town & Langebaan on the West Coast, typically from old and ordinary houses. Whilst she also takes on the building of new houses, Wendy’s passion lies in the transformation of houses from ordinary to spectacular, her main strength being her vision and ability to see potential in old buildings and to creatively convert them to suit her client’s needs.

The process of renovating a house starts with meetings and interviews with clients to ascertain their needs followed by numerous iterations as the concepts grow from preliminary ideas in hand-drawn sketches through to formal drawings, submissions to the council, and approval.
