Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

December 23, 2016

We would like to thank all of our clients and colleagues, followers and and friends for making 2016 such a fantastic year for the practice. We look forward to a great 2017 for everyone.

This year we have consolidated our team and it has been a real buzz working together to deliver a high volume of projects throughout Edinburgh, Midlothian, and beyond. We take great satisfaction in helping our clients to realise their aspirations and it has been particularly pleasing to see families moving back into their homes for Christmas.

We have lots of exciting projects on the drawing board, including some mixed-use developments and community projects. We're looking forward to taking the projects forward in 2017.

Watch this space for more images of our designs and projects on site in the new year!

Our first Planning Permission of 2019 has just been granted.  This simple garden room in Midlothian incorporates a butterfly roof to ensure light penetrates into the room throughout the day. Full height glazing also provides a visual connection to the garden. #midlothianarchitect

We've enjoyed our first week back, firing on all cylinders and getting 2019 off to a great start.  A few helpful presents already being put to good use include a scale-rule pen and a coffee mug from the Yellow Door Studio.  Lots of sketches and other images to come...

Nice neat stonework surrounding the new windows on this project to upgrade an existing stone off-shoot in a conservation area.  #edinburgharchitects #contemporaryintervention #conservationarchitecture #bespokedesign

Glazing the corner of this existing stone offshoot will open the new family living space up for better connection to the garden. #contemporaryintervention #conservationarea #edinburgharchitect #modernliving

Great to see the new windows and stone surrounds going into the offshoot of this stone house in an Edinburgh Conservation Area.  Sensitive but contemporary additions to optimize the home for modern living. #conservationarea #edinburgharchitect #modernliving #bespokedesign
