The AM Bathrooms + Projects team

About the studio

One team. Every detail.
Start to finish.

An AM bathroom renovation

Who we are

A boutique studio that does things differently.

AM Bathrooms + Projects was founded by Jenny and Ante Matek because they kept hearing the same story. A renovation that should have been exciting had become stressful, drawn out, and full of disappointing surprises.

So they created a boutique design and build studio where design, construction and project management work together from day one. Jenny leads the design and client experience. Ante leads the build. And around them is a tight team of trades, stylists, and coordinators who’ve worked together for years.

The result is a renovation process where nothing falls between the cracks. One team, one standard, from first sketch to final handover.

Design + client experience

Meet Jenny Matek

Jenny Matek is the creative director and client lead at AM Bathrooms + Projects, an award-winning interior designer with more than 20 years of experience across design, construction and renovation.

She founded the studio with Ante after seeing too many beautifully designed spaces compromised during construction. Design intent was lost through substitutions, rushed decisions and a lack of collaboration between designers and builders. Clients who had invested deeply in a vision were often left disappointed by a process that treated design and construction as separate responsibilities rather than one shared commitment.

What Jenny and Ante built at AM Bathrooms + Projects is the antidote to that. Jenny works alongside Ante from the very first conversation, so every design decision is made with a clear understanding of how it will actually be built, what it will cost, and how it will feel to live in. That alignment early means clients get honest advice before they're committed, fewer surprises mid-build, and a result that reflects what they originally fell in love with.

What she is most proud of is the experience that creates for clients. Not just a beautiful space, but a process where someone who genuinely cares is in their corner from concept to handover.

Build + delivery

Meet Ante Matek

Ante Matek leads the build side of AM Bathrooms + Projects, bringing three decades of hands-on construction and project management experience to every renovation. His skill set sits where craft and coordination meet, running trades, sequencing work tightly, and protecting the quality of the finish from demolition through to handover.

Ante was passionate about starting the studio with Jenny because he kept seeing the same problem on site: a disconnect between the people designing a space and the people building it, which left clients absorbing the cost in time, money and stress. He wanted a model where design decisions and build decisions were made by the same team, in the same room.

Today, Ante works closely with Jenny to ensure every design is delivered as intended. From coordinating trades and managing quality through to solving challenges on site, his focus is on protecting both the design vision and the client experience. By planning projects collaboratively from the outset, he helps minimise surprises during construction and ensures every renovation is delivered to the standard clients were promised.

What he is most proud of is the way that model now plays out in real homes. One accountable team, clear communication, fewer surprises, and a finished result that holds up to the way families actually live.
