About the practice

We create buildings that are sustainable, enduring and contemporary. As a Certified B Corporation, we measure success by the positive impact of our work on people and planet, as well as its architectural quality. Our work balances beauty with utility, so that architecture lifts the spirit while supporting daily life. We work across homes, workplaces, cultural venues, community buildings, hospitality and masterplanning. Whatever the scale, we begin by listening carefully, understanding how people will use the spaces, and shaping clear briefs together with our clients. Sustainability is integral from the outset. We think about orientation, form, materials and energy strategy early, ensuring that decisions are robust and well informed. Often, the most sustainable choice is to re-use and adapt what already exists and we embrace that opportunity whenever possible. We are passionate about the careful conservation, re-use, refurbishment and extension of existing buildings, supported by RIAS Conservation Accreditation expertise within the practice. Based in Edinburgh, we work throughout Scotland, across the UK and internationally. From a single room to a complex masterplan, we bring the same commitment to clarity, craft and care.
