“Andrew has been able to capture with imagination our complex brief and realize this as proper architecture. His initial drawings were all hand-drawn which resulted in fluid and organic architecture.

From the beginning, Andrew has been realistic and able to balance budget, function, sustainability, precision, and architectural beauty. He has also guided us through the complex negotiation and building process. We have thoroughly enjoyed the process.

We have now lived in our home for the past year. Andrew and the builder Adam have become good friends. His attention to detail during the building process and handover made for a seamless transition time.

Most importantly, the house has improved our family. We will work with Andrew again for our next project.”
