Recent Project

Avoca Group recently completed a full refurbishment of a three-bedroom apartment near Sandbanks, transforming the property into a contemporary, high-quality living space.

Working in collaboration with the talented team at KTM Design, we delivered every stage of the project with precision, from structural alterations and bespoke finishes to the final decorative details.

By combining expert craftsmanship with carefully considered interior design, we created a home that balances luxury, functionality and timeless style.

The result is a beautifully finished apartment that reflects the client’s vision while showcasing the value of close collaboration between contractor and designer.
