About by piece

Hello, I'm Veronika, I appreciate you finding the website. This is my opportunity to explain a little about how by piece came about and how I can help homeowners in Canberra to ensure everyone gets the best possible advice across all facets of design and implementation.

My approach blends architectural insight with practical problem-solving, drawing on years spent working across residential interiors, boutique developments and heritage-sensitive renovations. I believe good design is less about trends—and more about practical and bespoke choices that last.

Why By Piece?

After working in design-led practices for years, I recognised a genuine need for residential design service that felt more personal, less overwhelming, and grounded in both aesthetics and functionality. 

With By Piece, I wanted to offer something approachable but deeply considered—a design service that helps clients feel guided, heard, and excited about what's possible.

By Piece reflects the process: considered, collaborative, and built in layers. We work together piece by piece—not just rushing to a result, but assembling homes that feel right.

No matter the size of the project, I aim to bring warmth, order and a sense of “it just works” to every home renovation Canberra-wide—Veronika Lisman.
