SMART DESIGN | MAKING SPACE WORK HARDER

An insight into what we designed for our recent project spotlight.

The original mezzanine disrupted three spaces, covering the large windows, restricting head height and bringing the stairs into the adjoining room.
Our new design creates a compact home office above the nursery, with the staircase enclosed behind a wall and a single supporting column keeping the space below open. The result? More function, better flow and uninterrupted natural light.
Smart design isn’t always about adding more. It’s about making better use of what you have.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT | MAKING PROJECT SPOTLIGHT | MAKING FOR FAMILY LIFE

This project transformed the home around the needs of a growing family, creating a large family kitchen and living space to the front of the property, alongside a new second bedroom/nursery and compact private office within the mezzanine.

But the design was about more than creating additional space. Conservation and sustainability were central to the approach, carefully considering the existing character of the property and how it could be protected for the future.
The mezzanine was thoughtfully adapted to address previous alterations, improving how the space works while respecting the original character of the home.

A considered approach to creating a home that works for today, while safeguarding it for tomorrow.

Another exciting milestone reached!

We’re pleased to share that Building Warrant
approval has been granted for this side extension in Inverness.

It will make a huge difference to the client by creating a generous bedroom and shower room on the same level as the kitchen and living spaces.

This is just the beginning, we can’t wait to show you how this space transforms over the coming months. Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes updates and progress as the project comes to life.

Here's what we've been working on lately.

We're delighted to share that the proposal has now received planning approval with zero objections, a fantastic milestone for both our team and our client. We can't wait to see this project move forward.

Project Spotlight | West End Tenemnet

Good design is about more than how a space looks, it's about how it works.
For this project, we reimagined the layout to create a clearer flow between spaces, giving each area a distinct purpose while improving how the home is experienced day to day.

Thoughtful storage was a key part of the design, from a hidden w**e cupboard that adds both function and character to a carefully planned en-suite that makes the most of every square metre.

Behind every completed project are months of conversations, site visits and problem solving.

We’ve recently been working on some exciting new projects—from rural landscapes to industrial settings, and we can’t wait to share more as they develop.

Watch this space.

What would you hide behind a secret door?

The best storage solutions are often the ones you don’t see.
This concealed walk-in w**e storage keeps the kitchen feeling clean and uncluttered while making the most of every square metre.

Project Insight | Designing Around a Vision

The best projects start with a clear vision.
For this renovation, the client wanted an ensuite that felt bright, open and connected to the bedroom rather than hidden away in a dark corner. While there were several ways to achieve this, each came with compromises, reducing natural light, dividing the room, or creating a cramped layout.

By combining the client's ideas with our design and technical expertise, we explored a range of options before developing a solution that positioned the ensuite in front of the existing window. A glazed partition allows daylight to flow through both spaces, creating a brighter and more cohesive bedroom suite.

The before and after plans show how thoughtful reconfiguration can transform the way a space feels and functions. Good architecture isn't about imposing ideas, it's about working together to find the solution that best supports how you want to live.

Have a vision for your home? We'd love to help bring it to life.

Project Spotlight | Bedroom Project Spotlight | Bedroom & Ensuite Renovation

Come inside one of our smaller projects.

For this detached home, an ageing built-in storage unit was removed and replaced with a compact ensuite and shower room, making far better use of the available space while maintaining the generous proportions of the bedroom.

Retaining existing features was a key priority, alongside introducing new details that added character and practicality. The result is a simple intervention that has significantly improved the functionality of the home without requiring a major renovation.
For this project, we secured Building Warr
ant approval before handing the project over to the client to manage construction themselves. Whether you need a full architectural service or simply support with design and approvals, we can tailor our involvement to suit your project and budget.
