“Brooke was responsive throughout the entire project and we still enjoy his input to how we structure the Vineyard and Gardens, creating spaces in sympathy to the house though also as an extension to the house. We truly enjoy our house or "Lake House", as it creates a sense that we are on holiday every day of our lives.”
