"What sanctuary means to you — clarify your dreams before you begin"

Every Sanctuary Begins with a Seed

Before you can create your sanctuary, you need clarity about what sanctuary truly means to you. Is it a place of calm after busy days? A space for creativity and reflection? A home that embraces your family's natural rhythms?

This crucial first step — often overlooked in the rush to start — determines whether your renovation will truly serve your wellbeing or simply follow trends that don't fit your life.

Sanctuary Vision Planner

A thoughtfully designed questionnaire that helps you discover your authentic vision for sanctuary. No surface-level questions — this goes deeper.

Sample Questions Include:

What time of day do you most need to feel restored?
Which spaces in your current home feel most aligned with your wellbeing?
How do you want to feel when you enter your sanctuary after a difficult day?
What elements from nature bring you the deepest sense of peace?
How does your family's daily rhythm need to be supported by your space?

Why This Matters

Without this foundation, renovation decisions become reactive rather than intentional. You'll find yourself choosing materials, layouts, and features based on what looks good rather than what serves your actual needs for restoration and wellbeing.

This template has been refined through years of creating sanctuary spaces for London homeowners. It ensures your renovation journey begins with wisdom, not wishful thinking.

Work with Winnie

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.
