Darlington – Studio Origami
Her European background forms a solid base for her understanding on how to design efficiently and with purpose.
“Living in a 54sqm apartment has taught me to be very creative with a space we had, creating zones and areas that were multi defined and interchangeable”.
She established Studio Origami in 2014 and has developed a passion for modular technology and the importance of the cost-effective solutions in the residential industry.
Izabela has designed her own home with Structural Insulated Panels, which has won multiple Design and Building Industry awards. The process of building a high performing home that uses the Energy recovery system and PassiveHouse principles gave her exceptional technical knowledge and insight into panel construction.
