About Design
At Our Core
Hansenbuilt Design is a full service Interior Design firm that believes storytelling is an inextricable component in design. Good design stems from a detailed, intensive approach which is similar to that of theatre, music and art.
Our process begins with the conceptual: a story, intention and broad strokes – which we translate through sketches, space planning, colour, and texture, right through to the tangible design.
By synthesizing all the information gathered from listening, observing, asking questions, researching and honouring the architecture of the space, we tell our clients story and bring the vision to life!

In her previous life, she spent many years as an actor and fiddle player, performing across the globe. Here is where she learned to take risks, push the boundaries and think outside the box.
Through these rich experiences, Sarah and her incredible team, create spaces that tell a story, that are relaxed yet elegant and that capture the human spirit.
