“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 is one of the most knowledgeable architects we know. We used to come away from meetings with him and comment on how experienced and wise he was, because he’d answer all our questions, and come up with other options.”

“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.”

“If you work with an architect, make the most of them. There's no point engaging a professional unless you're going to listen. We could have hired a draughtsman to translate our ideas into drawings, but we wanted to be challenged. Working with Graeme has brought unexpected pleasures.”

“Graeme really listened to our vision for our home, took that onboard, and translated it into a design that appealed. We also liked him as a person. We felt we could relate to him. He was not only on our wavelength but also flexible when it came to accommodating our quirks.”
