Whilst we have strong connections to Scotland’s cultural and natural landscape, we apply the same contextual diligence to urban, rural and coastal sites across the UK and Europe.
We’re proud to have been recognised with national and international awards for excellence in housing design, including the Andrew Doolan Award for the best building in Scotland.
Everything we do is underpinned by a commitment to design and deliver ethically, environmentally & socially responsible buildings which create lasting benefit for current and future generations.
Responsible architecture
We approach every brief with respect for living landscapes and care for the wider climate. Our designs work hard to minimise environmental impact by using low carbon, ethically sourced materials and employing rigorous sustainable principles to aim for net zero in operation.
Listening first
Dialogue with people is a core aspect of our approach. We come with open minds to listen, learn and dig deep before developing our design response. Collaborating with individuals and communities fuels our desire to create architecture which belongs to people and place.
Conserving Heritage
We feel incredibly lucky to work with exceptional people in unique landscapes. Our aim is to strengthen these local identities with thoughtful additions that build on heritage, local culture and community to evolve enduring places for the future.
Designing for everyone
Our buildings respond to the specific needs of people. Whether that’s an accessible and welcoming community centre, an adaptable home designed for dementia or townhouses which encourage neighbourliness, every response is human-centred, inclusive and cost-conscious.
Place specific
Having worked across Scotland – including the Highlands & Islands - we have overcome all manner of ecological, topographical and microclimate challenges. Our extensive experience means we know not just how to design intuitively for a specific context, but how to deliver when logistics aren’t simple.
As a small team, we’re dedicated to creating inclusive and responsible architecture that elevates place identity, supports community growth and creates houses that immediately feel like home
