Tom's Philosophy: Delight, appropriateness, elegance and economy are the main qualities I seek to create in all my work. Delight in the form of interest, surprise and humour, such that the human spirit is elevated. Appropriateness, in that the new forms are cognizant of the old and are sympathetic to the environment.
I had the good fortune to use the services of Tom more than once. First for a grand old Victorian house, Talandoon, in Hawthorn, and then for my present abode, a chalet-type wooden house in Hawthorn again which I have been renovating on and off for 6-7 years. I found Tom always ready and teeming with good ideas, unfailingly patient with my changes of heart, and especially adept at keeping the builders on the straight and narrow.
