You do not need a finished design. A colour, fitting, reference image or feeling is enough for us to begin shaping the room.
The person behind SIK
Creative ideas.
One clear process.
I have always been drawn to property, interiors, making things and finding a more interesting way to do them.
Bathrooms bring all of that together. They have the thinking of a larger renovation concentrated into one room, with more freedom to explore colour, light, texture and materials.
Why bathrooms
“I don’t just want to do an average bathroom. I want every project to have room for creativity.”
Few rooms give you the same opportunity to use unusual tiles, rich colours, specialist plaster, seamless surfaces and carefully placed light.
The creativity still has to serve the person using the room. The goal is not to make something unusual for the sake of it—it is to create a beautiful, luxurious space that feels right for them.
The route into specialist finishes
From Venetian plaster to microcement.
I first trained in Venetian plaster because I wanted to create more interesting, tactile surfaces. That led me to microcement: another hand-worked finish, but one built as a layered system for demanding spaces such as bathrooms.
It opened up the possibility of creating walls and floors that feel continuous and calm, while still showing the small movements and decisions made by the person applying them.
What is microcement?
What working with me means
Personal work.
Properly carried through.
Stay close to the work
Most of the project is carried out by me, with qualified specialists brought in where required. The decisions do not disappear through layers of hand-off.
Build the right base
The surfaces underneath matter as much as the finish you see. Preparation is never treated as something to disguise or rush.
