“Without an architect like Graeme, we wouldn't have got the moments of surprise and joy. When you work with an architect, you get a whole lot of extra things you don't realise you're going to get.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
