‘Their residential design is super and the house fits very well within its setting, as well as creating a beautiful, light family home. For us the creation of a very low energy house using sustainable architecture principles was key to the brief, and we appreciated Thomas Robinson's refreshing outlook in exploring sustainable building materials and construction approaches.’
