Living Design<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>is a personally-run home renovations company owned by\u00a0<\/span>Wendy Holmes<\/strong>, specializing in the\u00a0<\/span>design and construction<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of large-scale home\u00a0<\/span>renovations<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and the creation of beautiful homes, in\u00a0<\/span>Cape Town<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>&\u00a0<\/span>Langebaan<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>on the\u00a0<\/span>West Coast<\/strong>, typically from old and ordinary houses. Whilst she also takes on the building of new houses, Wendy\u2019s passion lies in the transformation of houses from\u00a0<\/span>ordinary to spectacular<\/strong>, her main strength being her vision and ability to see potential in old buildings and to creatively convert them to suit her client\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

The process of renovating a house starts with\u00a0<\/span>meetings<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and interviews with clients to ascertain their needs followed by numerous iterations as the\u00a0<\/span>concepts<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>grow from preliminary ideas in hand-drawn sketches through to formal drawings, submissions to the council, and approval.<\/p>\n
