I used Akiva’s design and coordination service during the renovation of my apartment and had a great experience. The team had been very professional in engagement and I had particularly enjoyed working with my designer Gabriela. She understood the mandate and my utility / taste almost instinctively and came up with fantastic solutions to the space planning challenges (such as fitting two pianos in the living room with relevant lighting solution). I would definitely recommend Akiva for home renovation projects.

I worked with Akiva Prohects to transform our office. From a dull and old fashioned working environment it was transformed to a bright , modern open plan office where staff interact easily with each other and feel motivated and upbeat because of the ambience. Our staff and customers loved our new transformed office.

I used Akiva for the design and installation of a new wet room. They were first-rate from start to finish and met my every expectation. The design of the wet room was exactly what I was looking for and installation was carried out speedily and with minimum fuss. I have no hesitation in recommending Akiva.

I found Avika Projects through Houzz (google search). Initially James contacted me. I told him my requirements. I employed them to design the hallway, sitting room and bedroom of a 2 bedroom flat. The main requirement was the make the flat look pretty, bright and colourful and incorporate / build storage. The designer James assigned to me was Gabriela. On the first day Gabriela arrived at the property promptly. She took measurements and listened to what I wanted. At the same time she gave her ideas and suggestions. Stage 1 - She then created a mood board. Stage 2 - Based on my ideas in the mood board, she created 2D images. She was receptive to any changes I wanted. For eg., I wanted the colour scheme changed for one of the rooms. She was ready to have a phone call with me, discuss my requirements and she incorporated them in the first revision. Stage 3 - She then provided me with the 3D images. That was really helpful as I could visualise how the room would look. Gabriela was again very receptive and made any quick changes I requested. Stage 4 - Compilation of the purchase list. This was very useful as it had the links of the websites I could buy the items from. Overall- it was a very smooth experience. Gabriela was on top of things and she was very quick in delivering the outputs. She also gave the correct quantity of materials and items to buy. I initially had mentioned that I would get the installation done by Avika. James and Gabriela had very effeciently organised that as well. Cost wise, I would say Avika is reasonable and they were flexible with how I could make the payment. I made the payment in 4 instalments. Gabriela was very professional and approachable. She was open to receive phone calls over the weekend - which was very useful for me. With regards to improvements: 1) I would suggest increasing the number of revisions during the production of 3D designs as often a person changes their mind and atleast 2 revisions should be included. 2) Gabriela sometimes missed a few changes which I had mentioned- but when I brought that to her attention, she corrected and made sure that the changes were incorporated in the revisions or purchase list. Overall it was a good experience working with the team and I would definydkh recommend Avika Projects. Thank you, Sayantani

I contracted Akiva Projects to completely re-design and re-fit my bathroom. It's a very small bathroom but I had ambitious design ideas all the same (including replacing the bath). The team absolutely met the high standards I'd hoped for. They were very good at keeping me fully posted about the timescale, costs and variables of the projects; and I found the building team to be efficient and courteous. I'm delighted by the results and it's fair to say the bathroom is now my favourite room!

Having little experience in the renovation world - I thought it best to employ a professional with the design formy bathroom project. We purchased a vicotorian terrace which only had a single bathroom at the G level and decided to put an additional ensuite bathroom for the master bedroom upstairs. As the bedroom had no plumbing, and limited support it was a slightly larger project than first anticipated, albeit from the outset Akiva were fantastic. The design they put together was a collaboration between their experience and my demands. They made the whole process run smoothly from the outset, with communication being excellent throughout this prelimnary stage. I would note that their quote to build out the project was higher than some others we received and we therefore ended up going with another contractor, however I would definitely recommend, as we have decided that we oursevles will use them on our downstairs bathroom project in the coming months. Excellent customer service, together with a great finished project has resulted in repeat busines from us.

We worked with Gabriela on a floor and lighting design for a full remodelling of our 2-bed flat. She arrived promptly for a first site visit, listened to our ideas, measured up the place, and made some initial suggestions. Over the following days, Gabriela guided us to establish mood boards for each room that helped focus our ideas. We particularly loved the fact that she quickly understood the style we were looking for and was always prompt to react, suggest alternatives, and make adjustments as required. Gabriela’s attention to detail meant that not a single thing was left out, from flooring to ceiling lights and everything in between, all while working within the price range that we were comfortable with. Everything was neatly summarized for us in a detailed purchase list. Having agreed final plans, we were thrilled to see our ideas come to life in the 3D visuals which allowed to ensure everything is exactly like we envisioned. Overall, we would highly recommend Gabriela and Akiva for a delightful and stress-free design experience.

I hired Akiva Projects to provide us with some hi-resolution renders for a project that I have in Berlin Germany. It was no easy task and the designer I was assigned, Gabriella was amazing. Gabriella and Akivaprojects really know what they are doing when it comes to handling high-pressure clients and I was very pleased with the result. Their communication system is amazing and I was able to find any file we were working on when I needed it without going through tons of emails. I am in talks with them for future projects in the future. Thank you, Akiva for a great project!

I hired Akiva Projects for their consultancy services when I purchased a property in Berlin. I had to make sure that I was getting maximum value for money and that the space would work for me, Akiva's design team worked amazingly with me. I was assigned a designer who provided me with complete design of the property, allowing me to see what I could have within it and how much it would cost. An amazing service that I didn't think existed! Thank you so much
