5 TIME AWARD WINNING CUSTOM RENOVATION

“Penny Southam, founder of Southam Design Inc., provided an outstanding, award-winning interior design for our home. The interiors exceeded our expectations, providing a warm and welcoming contemporary design. We were walked through the process at each phase, and are grateful to Penny for talking us out of some elements that we were set on that would have, in retrospect, not worked, and also respecting our desire for a livable space for a family with young children. We are pleased to have relied on a truly creative, dedicated, professional designer.”

DENTAL CLINIC DESIGN

“I had met with two other interior designers (one individual and one firm) prior to meeting Southam Design. Penny Southam, principal and owner, understood what kind of vibe I was looking for and was receptive to what I wanted. This was incorporated into the final design and I was very happy. Many people have complimented the space regarding its design and feel. Importantly, Penny is a very smart individual with a science background and I got along well with her. I am a very hard person to please as I demand high quality work and will not accept less than stellar. Timeline of the project from initiation to finish was in line with expectations and there were no reports of measurement discrepancies which could have delayed the finish. I would not hesitate to use them for future projects.“

CONDOMINIUM RETROFIT OF PUBLIC SPACES

“I was a member of the Board of Directors for the condominium at 111 Echo Dr., Ottawa (“Canal 111″), and as such I was in charge of a major redesign and renovation to the lobbies and entrance way to our buildings. We engaged Penny Southam as our designer following submissions we received from a number of other designers. My experience in dealing with Penny was that her services were professional, expeditious and courteous. The task of satisfying the expectations of 46 different owners was a challenging one, which Penny handled with diplomacy. The design prepared by Penny reflected the expectations of a majority of the owners and the results have enhanced our living environment. I would recommend Penny without reservation.”

Penny Southam ARIDO, IDC Principal of SDI

“My inspiration is my deep passion for creating beautiful space for all to enjoy. To create interiors that make you stop in your tracks and stare at the beauty – the detail. What I do is not work. It’s play. I’m thankful that I get to do this every day!”

I started Southam Design Inc in 1992, shortly after moving to Ottawa, Ont. Over the last 31 years, I grew my firm and earned a strong reputation for excellent design. I am a registered interior designer and a member of ARIDO, IDC, GOHBA and IES. I’ve won over 35 awards, including Forty Under 40 in 2005.

On television, I was one of the ‘design professors’ who put our ‘students’ through their paces on HGTV’s “Design U” and later co-starred on Gemini Nominated, “All For Nothing” which aired on the W Network and OWN.

I am a huge believer in following your passion, loving your work. Creating beautiful space is not work… It’s play and I am very thankful to have wonderful clients and that I get to do this everyday!
