“From our very first meeting we quickly realised Guy was a terrific listener, and he really heard and understood what we were wanting for our small and permanent home. We are grateful to him as an architect for designing us a house that is a joy to live in, and characterised by simplicity, light, and a truly surprising sense of spaciousness in a 68m2 footprint.”
