Graham Hunt - Architect
I am a registered architect with more than 25 years experience in a wide range of retail, industrial, commercial, and residential projects.
MY architectural approach has two underlying tenets:
- To assist people to obtain and improve sustainability in their homes and work places in the most practical and cost-efficient way
- To design spaces that are a pleasure to be in and that relate harmoniously with the natural environment
