Karisma · Chartered architect

Spaces decide how we live. I make sure they're decided well.

About me

When I was 9, my family moved house. Same people, same furniture, but different light and rooms that finally made sense, and we lived differently because of it. A space shapes the people inside it, and a home that has been properly thought through is worth more.

I trained at Foster + Partners, where the best engineering is the part you never notice. Today I am a Senior Global Architecture Project Manager at Louis Vuitton, delivering special projects around the world, where nothing short of exact will do.

Alongside that, I design and develop homes across London. So I know what looks right, what it costs, how builders actually work and what a buyer will pay more for.

Most people are left to manage the architect, the designer and the builder on their own, and they pay for the gaps between them. Others have the ideas, the saved boards and the hotel references, and end up with an expensive collage. I built this practice to close those gaps.

No home is too small for that standard. Every consultation is with me: one conversation, a clear plan, and the confidence to direct your project instead of reacting to it.

Friends and family… had a few "jaw drop" moments when they saw the new lounge.

Thank you again for all your help, everyone that has seen the house absolutely loves it as much as we do. When I asked for contemporary but warm and cozy I wasn't sure we would get that but you absolutely ticked all our boxes! If you are ever in the area please do come over. PS. Had some friends/family around today who we've not seen for some time and had a few "jaw drop" moments when they saw the new lounge.

My husband and I fell in love with the place the moment we stepped in the door.

Hi Karisma! I don't know how it happened, the IG algorithm doing its thing, but I found your profile randomly just after completing the acquisition of this property! Surreal I just wanted to say, my husband and I fell in love with the place the moment we stepped in the door You did such an amazing job! We also loved watching all your stories and the Youtube video: it made us appreciate our new house even more, knowing all the thinking, planning and work that went into it!
