Why Most Home Projects Fail to Create True Sanctuary 

Beautiful spaces that don't support wellbeing. Renovations that create more stress than serenity. Projects that look perfect in photos but feel somehow incomplete in daily life.

The problem isn't the quality of finishes or the skill of contractors — it's the approach. Without understanding how design choices affect your nervous system, daily rhythms, and capacity for restoration, even well-executed projects can miss the mark entirely.

This course bridges that gap, combining professional design methodology with mindfulness principles to create spaces that truly serve your deeper needs for peace and restoration.

More Than Templates — A Philosophy for Living

Whilst the course includes all the professional templates you need to manage your project independently, the real value lies in understanding the why behind each decision. How does natural light affect your circadian rhythms? Which materials support rather than overwhelm sensitive nervous systems? How can spatial flow encourage or hinder daily restoration practices?

This isn't just about creating a beautiful space — it's about designing for a more mindful way of living. The principles you'll learn extend far beyond renovation projects to inform how you curate and inhabit any environment.

Ready to Begin Your Sanctuary Journey?

Creating a true sanctuary isn't about following trends or copying beautiful spaces you've seen elsewhere. It's about understanding your unique needs for restoration and designing with intention to support your wellbeing for years to come.

This course provides the professional tools and mindful wisdom to create not just a beautiful space, but a genuine sanctuary that serves your deeper needs for peace, restoration, and authentic living.

Your sanctuary awaits. The question isn't whether you deserve this kind of peace in your life — it's whether you're ready to take the thoughtful steps to create it.

Your Guide

My path has led from crafting iconic projects with Renzo Piano, David Chipperfield, and Junya Ishigami, to creating intimate sanctuaries for London's homeowners. Having also transformed two homes of my own, I understand both the professional expertise needed and the real challenges of working with limited budgets.

Through fourteen a.m., I bring sophisticated project management tools from commercial architecture into residential design, because your home sanctuary deserves the same careful attention as any landmark project.

Our clients words

  • Fourteen a.m. have been wonderful as we have worked together to re-imagine our house.  Winnie carefully listened to all our ideas and designed a thoughtful and sensitive scheme, bringing in her own creativity and introducing textures and materials that we would never have come up with ourselves.  She has also been super supportive on costs, helping guide our plans and suggesting areas where we could make our budget work harder for us.  We’re still in construction but the project is looking great and we’re so pleased that we chose Fourteen a.m. to go on this journey with us.  

    Jill

  • Winnie was a pleasure to work with on our full house renovation. Her ethos and design decisions were exactly what we hoped for. It was far from a simple project but Winnie's insight, guidance and creativity were incredibly valuable. We're delighted with the end product. 

    Ed

  • We’re truly impressed by the exceptional architectural work Winnie brought to our 1930’s semi- detached house. Her innovative designs and keen attention to detail brought our vision to life beautifully, combining both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Winnie’s dedication, professionalism, and collaborative spirit made the project a success beyond our expectations. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

    Fei

  • We couldn’t be happier with the work Winnie did on our rear extension. Right from the start, she really took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life with her brilliant ideas and thoughtful design. Her attention to detail and ability to maximize the space while making it flow perfectly with the rest of our home was amazing. Winnie was always professional, approachable, and supportive, which made the whole process so much smoother and clearer! The final result has exceeded our expectations. We’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable architect.
