TESTIMONIALS
I hired Apax Design primarily as I had heard that Rudolph the owner was very talented and a very firm grasp on value and delivering great designs. They developed great designs for the interior refurbishment of my home in De Waterkant. Their designs showed an unmatched ability to discern what a client wants. Throughout the project Rudolph remained vigilant and empathetic as we worked with contractors that often needed guidance in order to deliver on Apax Design visions. My home is complete and totally beautiful and I believe that is wholly through Rudolph's dedication to great designs delivered with a careful eye on budget. Well done.

Client
We wanted a house that captured the essence of who we are as a family. A perfect getaway destination to forget about the stresses of work and escape the time and space of reality. Rudolph took this vision and completely exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism and fine eye for exquisite detail made every step of the design journey exciting. Without Apax we would not have been able to create a space that encompassed every family members' personality and individual tastes. Thank you Apax for creating our dream home!

As my jet lag subsides, I am beginning to process the incredible work that you have done. You took my mandate and you delivered beyond expectations. I realize that unanticipated building constraints added to the challenge, but it’s clear you more than overcame them and have created a wonderful living space for me. I’m also especially impressed with how you used my inventory of furniture and art in the house. While some of these pieces are nearly 20 years old, you have completely refreshed and modernized them to fit perfectly into the home–a real achievement of the mandate. I know what you have done took days and days of careful preparation, design, and persistence. Your efforts have certainly paid off and I am extremely appreciative!
