WRAP-UP OF THE CLEVER DESIGN ARCHITECTURAL OPEN HOUSE BUS TOUR 10 NOVEMBER

 The tour included a broad range of participants including Designers, Architects, Builders, Teachers of Design, Students and other persons with interest of innovative residential Clever Design projects. We explored four award winning homes and can best be described by the enormus amount feedback received by the participants:

Hi Mike and Vicki,
Just wanted to congratulate you both on such a professional and well presented bus tour of Clever Homes.  It was a pleasure to view such magnificent homes and gain valuable information from great guest speakers. A thoroughly enjoyable day, well done.
Kind Regards  Greg and Maria

Hi Mike, and Vicki ....
Please let me confirm - what I said yesterday.
The whole tour was awesome.  I really, really enjoyed it. 
I, thank you so much for the opportunity.
I really appreciated how much hard work went 'behind the scene' to make it come together so well.
Yourselves, your client's commitment & the suppliers trade speeches made it such a great result.
I myself, can only repeat what Victoria said through most of the day .... "Wow!"
So proud of you both.  You are both, an amazing team!  .... Susan.


A huge thanks to our clients of 'Rumney Rest', Q-Two house, 7A Urban Footprint & the unveiling of our newest project 'chilled form' and their supportive involvement with the event.

Also a big thankyou to my loyal sponsors  that actually made this exciting & rare event possible;
Apricus Solar Hot Water Systems, Bradford Energy Solutions, CSR Cemintel Lightweight Systems, Joinery Supplies Tasmania, Staron Solid Surfaces & my enthusiastic lighting designer, Eddie - Lights 'n' Lamps.
