The Spatial Sprint
A fast, focused design service that turns your tricky areas into clear zones and calm flow. You’ll get one strong layout, a review call with one refinement, and a tidy PDF pack to brief your builder — or credit it toward Full Kitchen or Full Bathroom Design if you upgrade.
Dinner hour can feel loud: benches clutter, doors collide, everyone squeezes into the same square metre.
You probably don’t need a bigger house; you need a layout that fits your life.
The Spatial Sprint gives you one calm, confident plan you can trust before you spend.
As a busy Kiwi mum, you’re carrying a lot.
Why you’re stuck
The way out isn’t trying harder.
it’s a plan that fixes flow, storage, and zones.
But, when you renovate room-by-room without a master plan… nothing speaks the same language.
When storage isn’t mapped where life happens or the working triangle and zones are ignored… clutter piles up every day.
When decisions aren’t locked in early… decisions blur and often you’re left with a small kitchen or an awkward toilet placement.
i’ve seen this many times before — that’s why I built the Sprint
For over a decade I’ve watched families wrestle with layouts that work against them.
Jumping straight into full design can be five steps ahead.
First, you need a plan that shows where everything lives, proves the flow, and lowers the mental load.
Brief → clarity
You send your plans (council drawings or a simple measured sketch) plus a few photos.
We jump on a 30-minute call to map routines, issues, pain points, and must-keeps.
I confirm scope and success criteria (flow, zones, storage, clearances) so we’re solving the right problems with a clear brief.
01
Design layout → review call
I design one strong layout (≤80 m²) with zones mapped (Prep / Cook / Clean / Store / Serve), key dimensions, clearances, and storage.
We jump on a 45–60 minute call to walk through the plan, review the brief, answer questions, confirm the design direction, and discuss electrical
I also consider surrounding spaces (dining, living, bedrooms) as needed.
02
Refine → final PDF pack
I make one focused refinement based on our review, then deliver a tidy PDF pack: final layout, zones map, key dimensions, clearances, key notes, electrical guide/notes, and a simple next-steps checklist.
If you choose to continue further with detailed plans, your Sprint fee is credited toward Full Kitchen Design or Full Bathroom Design.

Why trust the Sprint?
I bring the same decade of experience and two design diplomas to the table that I do with my full-service clients—so you’re getting more than just a quick sketch.
My work has been recognised with national kitchen design awards, celebrated not just for looks but for layouts that actually work for busy families.
that’s the standard you can expect here too.

“I was so happy to see we could avoid an extension. Nichole showed us that the scullery we were trying so hard to fit in was stopping us from having a functional kitchen. once we ditched that everything clicked into place and we love our new kitchen”

This isn’t for you if…
You want décor-only tweaks (styling/paint) rather than layout and flow.
You’re after a full renovation package (detailed joinery drawings, finishes/spec schedules, renders, builder coordination).
You need more than one layout or unlimited revisions (the Sprint is one strong layout + one focused refinement).
You can’t provide basic measurements, council plans, or photos to get us started.
You want to move walls or add structural work without engaging an architect/engineer.
You prefer trend-chasing over practical, family-first design.
You need us on-site or managing trades as part of this service.
If any of the above sounds like you, our Full Kitchen Design package (or a simple colour consult) will be a better fit.
FAQ
-
The ideal is that the local city council has your plans on file. This is the easiest way for us to get started. But if they don’t, your own plans and photos is perfect, even if those plans are just hand drawn with key sizes.
-
Not in this stage. The Sprint is about spatial flow—clear layout, zones, dimensions, and notes. Finishes, joinery, and renders live in the Full Kitchen Design package.
-
Yes. We consider dining, living, pantry/scullery, and entries where they affect kitchen/living flow (within the ≤80m² boundary).
-
Usually 2–3 weeks from kickoff, depending on start dates.
-
Your Sprint fee is credited toward our Full Kitchen or Bathroom Design, so you don’t lose momentum when you’re ready to go deeper.
-
You’ll get a tidy, builder-friendly PDF pack. If you’d like me on a handover call, that’s available as an optional add-on.
