“We found Tony and Steven a pleasure to deal with and we were able to input our own ideas into the design Imagine Architecture produced. Their technical knowledge of the design intricacies was impressive. The end result being a home that had a "good feeling" to it, with friends who see it for the first time saying, ‘This is really cool!’
Before being built we found many builders or other designers were quite critical of the design, but now it has been built we have had nothing but praise for something which is obviously bespoke yet sits comfortably in the surrounding landscape.”
Michael & Maria Ramsay– New Plymouth
"Mary and I wanted to build a conservatory area attached to the North facing side of our house. On the advice of Altherm we contacted Tony in order to have plans drawn up from which the builders could operate. Tony listened. He made suggestions and could explain suggested modifications to our ideas effectively. Draft plans were readily adjusted until we were thoroughly satisfied with the design. The builders and constructors found the plans easy to work with. The finished product looks very good and has created the space that we wanted. The dream became a reality"
Graeme & Mary Mustchin – New Plymouth
