KEMPA Design is one of the Cayman Islands’ most hands-on residential renovation studios. Many of our clients purchase an existing property to completely transform it into something more functional, more personal, and more reflective of how they actually want to live.
From layout refinements to full-scale gut renovations, additions, and complete home transformations, we guide homeowners through every stage of the process, from spatial plans and drawings through to FF&E, installation, and final styling.
A residential renovation can mean a single floor or a complete reimagining of an entire home. Whatever the scale, KEMPA Design handles the full process under one roof. Drawings, finishes, FF&E, installation, and final styling, so the design vision survives the build intact.
