Ready for a Design Consultation?

Ready to start your project with Smart Living Spaces. The first small but critical step is a Design Consultation. Its a project plan that sets your project up for success.

Why Work with me?

“We all deserve a good place to call home. And starting on your new build or renovation journey can be filled with overwhelm and pressure to make the right decisions.I have walked in my clients shoes with my own renovation project. It is my job to take the overwhelm and stress away from my clients through the Architectural Journey. This journey starts with a vision and moves through stages to the manifestation of your new home. This can be an renovation or new build project. Its my role to design, detail and document your design but also to support you in each step, helping you make the best decisions from consultations to completion. This is your home, I want it to be right for you. The end result is a healthy, comfortable, energy efficient, sustainable and stunning space to call your home.”

We worked with Sharon, on our new family home project. We came in with a big list of ideas, and Sharon listened to our aspirations, and how we wanted to live, then worked alongside us, adding her architectural flare, to turn our dream into reality - and all within the initial budget we had. Sharon efficiently sorted all the consenting, waste-water, engineering reports, working in with the builder, etc behind the scenes which allowed us to focus on the excitement of the project. At the end of the project, we're now living in our ideal slice of kiwi paradise. We'd highly recommend Sharon Robinson, Smart Living Spaces, to work with you on your next home project to help turn your dreams into reality."

Tony - New Build client

"Sharon has been nothing but perfect in everything that she has done for us in regards to the design of our home for our renovation that we hope to start in January 2022. A most kind and caring designer who definitely puts her clients first and that makes us very lucky indeed. We gave Sharon our vision on her very first visit to our home and she has designed exactly what we have always dreamed our home would look like once renovated. We simply can not recommend Sharon highly enough and will use her for all our future renovations.”
