Olivier has helped us convert and extend our Victorian terrace house to adapt it to modern living. He’s been very dedicated, and has brought lots of great ideas and features which make our house stand out from the typical conversions. He has designed it, sourced products, recommended tradesmen and project managed the build. He’s got an excellent eye for detail, is creative and professional. Our house is now very bright, airy and yet filled with traditional features. We couldn’t be happier with the end result and would highly recommend Olivier’s services. More...

I have worked with Olivier on several projects now and he has been very professional and easy to work with. He provides an amazing service and he is a great designer. I have worked with him both on a traditional country house and on a really contemporary mews house project. He has been excellent at designing both. More...

My husband and I hired OLJ designs to design our build for 6 duplex apartments on our property in Hamilton, New Zealand. . We were absolutely delighted with the stylish modern and efficient design they developed. The design was airy and light, taking full advantage of the gorgeous valley views and utilised space in a creative and innovative manner. Olivier Jauniaux, was at all times professional and knowledgeable. He was always available and listened to what we wanted. We were extremely pleased with his approach in all aspects of his commission and would highly recommend him to any other potential clients as someone who will work hard to achieve a design you will be delighted with.

Olivier Jauniaux designed an extension to my house in which a pool was built and the roof of which became a roof garden. This was quite a complicated project as it required specific dimensions, decisions regarding humidity control inside and the build of a waterproof roof garden. We are very pleased with the result. Clearly Olivier listened to us and obtained something that suits our needs perfectly. More...

I hired OLJ Design for an extension to the back of our house. The design was crafted to our needs and is inspiring to experience and live in. We enjoyed working with such a professional company and it was fun to be able to get involved in every aspect of the process. The end result really exceeds our expectations and we’re incredibly happy to have worked with such a creative company. I would highly recommend OLJ Designs to all my friends. More...

Olivier cares about creating something unique, not just the idenitikit extension that so many of the big D&B firms present. Some unique features make our property stand out from the crowd. More...

Olivier has been an amazing inspiration, support and problem solver throughout our renovation of a ground floor flat in a Victorian terrace in South London. The initial process involved a detailed consultation and investigation of the property to assess our needs and the possibilities of our new home. Olivier has a professional but friendly manner, with a reassuring confidence and good communication. We immediately loved his designs and ideas for our space, and appreciated him really listening to our own ideas and input. His recommendations for tradesmen were solid and he had an excellent working relationship with all parties and trades. He made the whole process clear and offered pragmatic solutions throughout the project. We are thrilled with our new home and thankful to have been creatively guided through the process by such a talented architectural designer. More...

What’s your interior design process?
Our process starts by getting to know you! Producing mood boards, going through books, avoiding the pinterest wormhole if possible, and then carefully putting together and delivering a scheme. We dont tend to dress the project but can provide this too or advise. It is important to us that our clients feel at one with their project and that we help them make their mark.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
For our interior design services we can cater to all styles but will always have a preference towards haptic minimalism. Textures, materials and lightness are key to a purposeful design that is person centred: focusing on our client’s inner selves and their desires.
What do you love most about your job?
My clients of course! But in truth, I enjoy the feeling of delivering a project that has truly positivly impacted my client’s lives with beautiful and bespoke spaces.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I founded the business because I care about design, I care about solving complex problems and tricky projects whilst maintaining my client's wishes. I also love light, light is a tactile medium often forgotten and my business allows me to experiment with light and how this can create a variety of timeless spaces.
Why should our clients choose you?
My promise is to always listen. I always seek subtly in my designs. This does not mean that they are not bold, there is great power in restraint. But in representing our clients best wishes and finding the solutions to problems this does not require excess and sometimes the simplest gestures with clear concepts can be the most effective. With several years of experience in the industry we are well equipped to handle all problems that come our way.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We are able to meet on Teams and Zoom. At least one visit in person is advised to get to know each other and your property properly.
