Architecture & Interior Design
I’m Kristine Sulca-Rust, an architect and designer based in Folkestone, Kent. I create homes and workspaces that feel clear, calm, and genuinely supportive of the people who use them.
My work brings together architecture, interior design, and thoughtful spatial planning - always grounded in your brief, your budget, and the everyday routines that shape how a space truly functions. Whether it’s a home renovation, an extension, or a quieter reworking of what you already have, the aim is always the same: spaces that feel honest, warm, and built to last.
I believe in design that ages gracefully: materials that feel true, spaces that work hard without shouting, and architecture that quietly elevates daily life.
Every project follows a clear, collaborative process so the final space feels personal, intentional, and deeply connected to the way you live.
X by X shapes architecture and interiors grounded in authenticity, wellbeing, and longevity. I work with natural materials that bring warmth, depth, and integrity to everyday living, designing spaces that support comfort, clarity, and a more considered pace of life.
From early concept strategy to fully resolved environments, I collaborate closely with clients to create homes and spaces that mature gracefully and feel thoughtfully aligned with the lives they hold.
I’m a Folkestone-based architect and interior designer working across Kent - Canterbury, Ashford, Deal, Tunbridge Wells, Rye, Margate - as well as London. If you’re planning a renovation, extension, or interior design project in the region, please get in touch.
