Let in the light

One success of 2020 has been this extension to a B-listed mansion house, beautifully positioned on the Findhorn River.

The elegant house required updating as well as an extension to put in a bright and airy new kitchen and dining area. The space is designed with an oak-trussed roof, and a long roof-light to allow natural brightness to pour in.

When altering any traditional building, it is important to use appropriate materials, and to reflect its historic style. A successful extension preserves the integrity of the original design while integrating modern comforts.

Going large on a rural estate

This grand extension to a traditional estate house is designed to become the new focal point of this rural estate. The scale of the design offers extensive free-flowing space in a light-filled and high-end contemporary environment. The long views are maximised through floor-to-ceiling glazing and from a colonnaded balcony for outside living. The sloping site allows the lower floor to be tucked neatly into the slope.

Impressive 60s home

This striking Modernist home, designed by architect Donald Downie in the 60s, was where practice owner Tom Robinson grew up, contributing to him wanting to become an architect. Tom has now designed an extension and improvements to bring the house up to 21st-century requirements to prepare it for sale.

Meet Jamie

Jamie Robinson joined the practice recently as an Architectural Visualiser and is mostly involved in developing our CGI skills and output, using digital visualisations and graphic design.

This is an ever improving area of architecture, and it's great to have Jamie's input. A postgraduate, he is currently studying Digital Arts and Interactive Design, part time.

Congratulations to Craig

Craig Higgins has been with us for 3 years, and has just passed his RIBA Part 3 exams to become a fully qualified architect. He is skilled in computer-aided design (CAD), architectural sketching and technical detailing, and creates exceptional visualisations. He plays a very active role in all aspects of the practice.

CGI in Architecture

You'd be forgiven for assuming this is a photo or even a watercolour sketch. In fact it's a computer generated image (CGI) of a cottage we're converting from a ruined bothy into holiday accommodation. Craig Higgins created this CGI visualisation after discussions with the client, incorporating what Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park planners would require from this sensitive project. We can help you and planners visualise your project using CGI as part of our design process.

Just a reminder that we remain open during the Covid-19 lockdown. All members of the practice are working from home. We're more than happy to take calls and emails, discuss your ideas and begin work on new projects, while continuing to work on current projects. We can arrange video meetings via whichever medium suits you best.
