Cluny Gardens Extension
Transforming a Family Home in Edinburgh
This two-storey extension to a family home in Edinburgh creates a bright, spacious living area with a strong connection to the garden and plenty of room for a growing family.The clients reached out to us soon after purchasing this Morningside property. They were keen for an architect to help them create more space and improve the home’s relationship with the outside. A small existing extension and a significant level change meant that the inside was disconnected from the garden.
Our key move was to lower the floor level of the new dining and living area towards the garden to form a direct connection to a new terrace. The result is a generous, open-plan split-level space where the family can cook, eat and spend time together – with direct access to the terrace and views to the trees beyond.
The asymmetrical roof responds to the geometry of the original house, creating a bold yet harmonious form that feels both distinctive and connected.
Neil was engaged, collaborative, and communicated well. We are delighted with the end result and have recommended him to family and friends.
