WE LEARNED...

DETAILS MAKE A HOUSE so we spent an enormous amount of time on the design and planning stages of our project. The look, feel, layout and style of a home dictates the way it will be used, so really think about how it will work best for you.

THOROUGHLY CHECK OUT YOUR TRADES and go with your instincts. We have high standards and are exacting clients. We hired subcontractors ourselves but had to have some works redone, as we weren’t happy with the initial results.

CREATING THE DECK was a good idea, as it has massively enlarged the amount of living space we have. We had originally planned to cover only a third of this area, because the adjustable louvred roof is expensive, but we changed our minds and now it covers two thirds. We have never regretted the decision.
