Completion & Care

"Ensure quality completion and establish practices for long-term sanctuary maintenance"

The Fruits of Mindful Creation

Your sanctuary journey culminates in this final stage, where careful attention to completion details ensures your space truly delivers the restorative environment you've worked to create. This is about more than finishing touches — it's about establishing your sanctuary for a lifetime of wellbeing.

The difference between a completed project and a true sanctuary often lies in the care taken during handover and the establishment of practices that maintain the space's restorative qualities over time.

What You’ll Recieve

Snagging Guide

A comprehensive framework for conducting professional-standard completion inspections, ensuring every detail meets the sanctuary standards you've worked to achieve.

Completion Inspection Features:

  • Room-by-room inspection checklists

  • Quality standards assessment criteria

  • Defect identification and classification system

  • Contractor communication templates

  • Final acceptance protocols

  • Warranty and guarantee documentation

  • Maintenance schedule establishment

  • Long-term care planning guidance

More Than Surface Deep

A thorough completion inspection goes beyond obvious defects to ensure all systems function as intended for your sanctuary vision. This includes checking that natural light flows as planned, that ventilation supports air quality, and that finishes will age gracefully.

The guide helps you assess not just construction quality, but whether the completed space truly delivers the restorative environment you designed. This prevents minor issues from becoming major disruptions to your sanctuary experience.

Preserving Sanctuary Qualities

A sanctuary requires different care than a conventional home. Understanding how to maintain the materials, preserve the spatial qualities, and protect the restorative environment you've created ensures your investment continues to support your wellbeing for years to come.

The template includes guidance on establishing maintenance routines that feel meditative rather than burdensome, aligning with the mindful approach that informed your sanctuary's creation.

Beyond Project Completion

The true harvest of your sanctuary project isn't just a completed space — it's the daily restoration and peace you'll experience for years to come. This final stage ensures you're equipped to maintain both the physical space and the restorative practices that make it a genuine sanctuary.

The completion process includes guidance on transitioning from construction to habitation, establishing rituals that honour your new space, and maintaining the mindful approach that guided its creation.

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.
