Unicreations

Tomorrow night Brielle and I go live and we cannot wait.

90 minutes, free, online. We will walk you through everything you need to know before you start planning your kitchen renovation. How to approach the process, where people lose money, what decisions you cannot undo, and how to make sure the result is truly yours.

One lucky attendee wins a free consultation with both of us plus our Kitchen Renovation Toolkit.

When a newly-wed couple asked me to redesign their century-old apartment in Warsaw, they came to me with one clear memory.

The blue of the Baltic Sea on the day they got married. The colour of the sky above the dunes, the light on the water, that specific shade that belongs to that specific day.

We translated that memory into an interior concept that runs through the whole apartment, and nowhere more visibly than in the kitchen.

This is what I mean when I say a kitchen can be designed truly for you. Not just functional, not just beautiful, but yours in a way that nobody else's kitchen could be.

On June 16th Brielle and I are hosting a free live masterclass on kitchen design if you are at the beginning of your own story. Link in bio.

Have you heard of Laon?

I hadn't either. A friend mentioned it almost in passing after visiting family in France. That is exactly what makes it special — it flies completely under the radar, and it completely delivers.

About 3.5 hours from Rotterdam, Laon is a medieval hilltop city in northern France that feels like it was lifted from a storybook. The entire old town sits on top of a dramatic ridge, enclosed by 7 kilometres of ramparts and anchored by one of the earliest Gothic cathedrals in France. Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, it predates Notre-Dame. For a city this size, the density of history is remarkable with over 80 listed monuments, and the status of City of Art and History to go with it.

As an architect, I had to stop every few steps. Our daughter was more interested in the pastries, and if you know me, you know we found a compromise. 🥐
It is the kind of place where history is impossible to ignore but so enchanting that an 8 year old can genuinely enjoy it.

We stayed the night at . Historic house, creaking floors, marble fireplaces, and Pierre who made us feel immediately at home. Warm, easy, and wonderful with kids.

Next stop in this series: Reims. Follow along if you'd like.

Here's someone I want you to meet.

This is Brielle Jones from and if you've been following my stories lately, you already know her name.

Brielle is a professional organiser and interior stylist based in Utrecht.

Her superpower is seeing what others miss. Where friction builds, where daily life gets stuck, and how to design spaces that quietly support you instead of quietly draining you. She works with function and beauty together, because one without the other simply doesn't last.

Then we worked together on a project. A busy family navigating a full home renovation while living there. I took care of the layout redesign and interior direction. Brielle handled setting up storage systems, sourcing, and styling. And somewhere in the middle of that collaboration we realised our skills fit together really well.

So when she invited me to join her for a masterclass on kitchen renovation, it felt like the most natural yes.

Because here's the thing. Most kitchen mistakes happen before anything is built. Wrong layout, poor workflow, no preparation space, power points in all the wrong places. By the time you notice, it's expensive to fix.

That's exactly what we're tackling together on June 16th. Design meets real life functionality. How to design a kitchen that is not just beautiful but one that actually works for the way you live.

Free, live, and very practical. Link in bio.
