We are delighted that our Portobello restoration has been shortlisted for the 2026 EAA Awards.

A Category B listed Georgian villa, the project carefully reveals and reworks the layers of the existing building, allowing its history and character to remain legible while creating a contemporary family home. Daylight, material and connection to the garden became central to the transformation, with breathable finishes and carefully considered openings bringing light into the spaces.

The project was made possible through a wonderfully collaborative relationship with our clients, whose ambition and hands-on approach shaped so much of the finished home. This building has many stories from its construction, with many unexpected discoveries along the way, and the project became an opportunity to celebrate these layers and the existing character of the house, rather than conceal them. We are very grateful to everyone who helped bring it to life, and thrilled to see it recognised alongside such a brilliant group of shortlisted practices.

Some really exciting news to start the week: our Boathouse & Bothy project has been shortlisted for the Architects' Journal ‘Project under £500,000’ category in the 2026 AJ Architecture Awards.

Conceived as a carved timber mass echoing the pyramidal roof form of the existing boathouse, the new studio opens up to celebrate the views and natural light. Sitting lightly above the original stone walls, it allows daylight into the boathouse space below, whilst giving the impression that the new structure floats above.

The Bothy, positioned nearby, mirrors the mass and materiality of the Boathouse studio — together they create an intimate space to gather, hang out, and play at the water’s edge.

A big thank you to our wonderful clients and the wider project team.

Site photographs from our recent visit to our new build family home project near the Pentland Hills.

As construction progresses, the building is beginning to reveal its relationship with the landscape. Window apertures are now taking shape, carefully positioned to frame long views across the surrounding woodland and grasslands.

It is always exciting to see these moments emerge on site - ideas that have existed in drawings and models beginning to become tangible.

For over a decade we have worked on a number of projects on the Hebridean Island of Iona. Iona is a particularly special place to work, with an ambitious and hard working community. Every island has its own particular character, dynamic and challenges. Immersing yourself in the place and spending as much time as possible with islanders is the foundation to delivering truly sustainable projects that work for and are loved by the people who use them.

It is particularly rewarding that fourteen years on from starting work on the designs for Iona Village Hall we are now working on two affordable housing projects on the island, as well as a number of projects for private clients.

We’re revisiting one of our favorite projects in the studio today - a reminder of how thoughtful material choices continue to shape the experience of a home long after completion.

Carefully chosen furniture, artwork and collected objects add another layer of character, allowing the architecture to become a backdrop for everyday life.

We are delighted to welcome Hatty Nixon and Henry Halpin to our South Queensferry studio as Part 1 Architectural Assistants.

Nixon joins us after graduating from the University of Edinburgh, bringing a strong interest in material, craft and the stories embedded within Scotland’s landscapes. Alongside working in practice, she is developing a series of artworks inspired by the waters of the Firth of Forth and writing a book exploring the architecture and atmosphere of the National Museum of Scotland.

Henry completed his Part 1 architectural studies at Falmouth University and joins us after a year spent working as an artist’s assistant to Sir Antony Gormley and as an estate worker in the Hebrides, while continuing to develop his own sculptural practice. His interests in craftsmanship and the Scottish landscape continue to shape his approach to architecture.

Planning permission granted! ✨

We’re delighted to have secured planning permission for a self-build home within an existing stone steading in Stirling.

We’re now moving into the next stage of the project, developing the technical design and preparing for construction, with a focus on specifying sustainable, natural and breathable materials throughout.
