The two names on the title

A builder and an architect.
One boundary.

Oliver Harrow Builder. Thirty years on Melbourne sites, and still on ours every morning.
Clara Vale Architect. Draws every house we build, and nothing we don’t.

“I build what Clara draws. And I tell her early when it won’t stand.”
