About
We believe in the architecture of the everyday - that thoughtful design can make ordinary buildings quietly special.
Based in Edinburgh and Dumfries, we are a small practice with a collaborative, client-focused way of working.
We work across sectors, with expertise in residential, listed buildings and football projects.
Regardless of scale or sector, every project is grounded in the same careful, consistent approach.
Our Values
Simplicity
Our architecture is clear and elegant. We design spaces that are calm, useful and enjoyable to be in by focusing on natural light, logical layouts and connections to the outside.
Practicality
We design with construction in mind, using familiar techniques, natural materials, and thoughtful detailing. Our aim is to produce buildings that are efficient to build yet quietly distinctive, providing lasting quality and good value for our clients.
Context
By taking time to understand the setting of each project, we create architecture that feels grounded, appropriate, and responsive. We often try to draw out the qualities of an existing situation to create spaces and buildings with character.
Sustainability
We recognise thatas designers we have a responsibility to make a difference.We work carefully with existing buildings and choose materials thoughtfully. By extending the life of buildings and improving how they are used, we aim to create resilient places with lasting value.
How We Work
Listening
We start every project by asking questions to make sure we’re clear on what matters most to our clients. This helps us think creatively and make confident, purposeful decisions as the project develops.
Communication
Our role is to guide and advise you throughout your project, helping to make the construction process straightforward and transparent. We use visual tools, including renders and digital collages, to communicate our ideas clearly to our clients.
Collaboration
We work closely with structural engineers and other consultants to develop well-considered, coordinated proposals. At construction stage, we continue this collaborative approach, prioritising positive and pragmatic relationships with contractors to ensure quality is carried through on site.
