“I'm absolutely delighted with the house, and I much enjoy seeing the reaction of first time visitors”

“Thank you so much for your brilliant work on transforming this house and your meticulous (and always prompt) care in tracking all the mass of detail right up to this culminating point. I'm absolutely delighted with the house, and I much enjoy seeing the reaction of first time visitors as they move through into the luminous space you've created at the back. Universal gasps/praise! And now with pictures at last going up, visitors staying, and the garden planted, it's all coming together, which is very satisfying.”
