“With some architects, it’s their way or the highway. But Graeme describes himself as the builder's architect. He respects our skills, and says, if you've got a better way to do it, you tell me. That openness was at the forefront throughout our project. There was a lot of collaboration and give and take.”

“We choose to work with Graeme because we like his thoughtful approach. He’s a deep thinker who comes up with sensible, elegant solutions.”

“Right at the very end of our build, Graeme went around and checked everything. He had a list with dozens of tiny little meticulous fixes, things we would never have noticed. It reflected his personal commitment to the project. Certainly, we had the feeling that he had a vested interest in the project. It never felt like it was just another house that he’d designed.”

“It’s lovely having a warm home. Our previous house was a beautiful old home, but it was cold. In our new home with double glazing, insulation, and 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.”

“We didn’t want a cookie cutter house. We'd come from an architect designed house. We weren’t willing to compromise on something that wasn't bespoke. This is our forever home. We’re not planning to go anywhere, so we wanted to get it right.”
