ETHOS

We work collaboratively to thoroughly explore your ideas, remaining open, honest and transparent throughout.

When designing a home, clarity, form and materiality guide our process. As architects living and working in Scotland’s capital city, we are invested in exploring the intangible medium of light and space. We consider how environmental conditions can inform the way we live in and enjoy the home. With Scotland’s bright summers and dark winters, our team develops concepts that prioritise a connection to the natural world and, in so doing, enhance your quality of life.

Whether heralding a new chapter in an existing building’s life or creating something completely new, we maximise the potential of every site and building to ensure it integrates seamlessly with its surroundings. Our homes flow; they enhance modern life in their arrangement and provision of simple, effortless spaces and solutions. We achieve this by questioning and understanding how you use your home. Your story will be reflected in the completed build—a notion that transcends design and construction.

Our commitment to quality and sustainability means using natural, high-performing and long-lasting materials. As we care for the environment and our common future, we adopt passive, low-energy design principles and seek to integrate low-carbon solutions and renewable technologies where appropriate.

In our thirty-year history, we’ve become well acquainted with the vast array of complexities and challenges that can arise when designing your dream home. Our tenure has honed our skills, knowledge and understanding, enabling us to continually find creative ways to reimagine the home.

Through a series of open conversations and various exchanges of hand-drawn and digital materials, we work collaboratively to thoroughly explore your ideas, remaining open, honest and transparent throughout. We never lose sight of your aspirations and vision. Our shared journey is built on mutual respect and trust; our completely tailored approach underpins the success of our home.

Our completed builds stand as testament to our relationships with trusted contractors, suppliers and craftspeople; many of whom we’ve collaborated with for thirty years. Our network includes experienced craftspeople, as well as young, aspiring makers.
