“It was a pleasure having DiMase Architects work on a major upgrade to our terrace house in Fitzroy. Antony commenced our project with his customary quiet and confident demeanour, and his wealth of experience quickly became evident. Antony and Niea listened carefully to our requirements and guided us deftly through the process, providing excellent advice along the way. They were able to skilfully accommodate our ever-changing needs, and went about the business always with good humour and yet the utmost professionalism. We liked Antony’s passion for the environment, and his ideas to create high quality, sustainable solutions. We also liked Antony’s willingness to share his considerable knowledge and to train and empower the younger members of his team, and his pride in ensuring a diverse and inclusive work environment. In addition, Antony’s passion for the use of his bicycle as a mode of transport regardless of the distance and weather conditions was enviable and arguably unparalleled. The result of such passion and pride in his work resulted, in our case, in a clever architectural solution that struck the perfect balance between comfortable, contemporary living, and a nod to the Victorian heritage of our home.”
