“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.”

“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 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.”

“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.”
