“There’s a lot of joy in this house. It feels very personal. There are all these surprises as we walk around. And we haven’t got to the end of our surprises because we haven't had winter here yet. It will get even better.”

“Our new home has lived up to our expectations and the vision on Graeme’s drawing board. We can say with confidence, we don’t look at anything in our house and wish we’d done it differently. That reflects the care we took with Graeme over the whole exercise. The whole process was unhurried. It's been golden. We can’t recommend Graeme enough. As an architect and a project manager, and everything that goes with that, he's simply great.”

“Graeme has crafted all these lovely little touches we don't realise are there until we use them. Stunning details we’d never get in a house that hadn't been designed by someone who really knows what they’re doing.”

“It’s lovely having a warm home. Our previous house was a beautiful old home, but it was cold. In our new home with the double glazing, the insulation, and the underfloor heating, the warmth is one of the lovelier things about it. We moved back in the middle of winter, but we couldn't believe how pleasant it was moving around from room to room.”

“When we first met Graeme, we discovered mid-century Christchurch architecture is one of his loves. In fact, he’d written his thesis on our original architect’s work and understood how the building worked better than we did, so when we came to renovate, he was the obvious choice. It was nice to feel we had someone very invested in the build.”
