Having worked for many years with
some of Edinburgh's finest and most
successful architectural practices,
I decided to set up this practice
in 2001 with a desire to return
to the roots of construction in
domestic and residential architecture.
In doing so my objective was to
reduce architecture to its simplest
forms and produce solutions for
my clients that were joyful to be
in and use, yet simple and cost
effective to construct.
As a practice we endeavour to place
the aspirations and requirements
of our clients before our own. Being
a relatively new practice our early
work has consisted predominantly
of domestic projects, to which we
apply our individual design and
problem solving skills to answer
challenging programmes.
From this solid and ongoing platform
we are expanding into other areas;
Residential, Commercial, Health
and Leisure. Our successes in these
areas result from a practical understanding
of our Client's requirements combined
with those of the end-user.
Our commitment to our Clients and
our ability to provide successful
designs and completed buildings
has ensured a continuing workload
based upon personal referrals and
return commissions.
In line with this method of obtaining
our commissions we are also expanding
geographically into other parts
of Scotland and the UK.
In the Project section we include
some examples of our completed and
ongoing work. Many of these photographs
are taken during construction by
my own hand and this, unfortunately,
is reflected in their appearance!
These illustrate our own interests
in design and construction, a modern
fusion of traditional and contemporary
which utilises appropriate materials
to respond to the individual circumstances
of both site and brief. Some projects
have been reported in the press
and we include some reports here
also.
I include a brief summary of my
experience to date in the People
section, together with a description
of personnel and how staffing responds
to work levels.
To clarify the process of employing
an Architect, the Services section
includes a brief description of
the typical services that we provide
for clients. This section also breaks
down these services into digestible
sizes or 'work stages' and explains
how we typically charge for these
services when relating to the work
stages we complete.
Details of how we can be contacted
together with a map of our Edinburgh
City centre location are included
in the Contacts section.
With an eye to the future I hope
to continue in the manner we have
started, building upon our experience,
responding to our Client's aspirations,
maintaining close links to domestic
and residential architecture whilst
slowly expanding into other areas
of architecture and construction;
leisure, health, arts, education
and commerce.
