traditional residential architects
what we do
At Thomas Robinson Architects, designing traditional homes is a core aspect of our work as architects in Scotland. We design new build residential houses in traditional styles and work as traditional home architects on existing historic homes that require extensions, restoration, or some other improvement.
Tom Robinson is the lead on our traditional architecture projects. A Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) accredited conservation architect, Tom applies his deep knowledge of historic buildings not only to our refurbishment and extension projects on historic and listed buildings but to newbuild traditional-style projects, too.
how we do it
As traditional residential architects, we also understand the need for modern systems within historic homes, as well as in our newbuild traditional-style projects. This includes a sustainable, low-energy approach and exceptional, sleek interior architecture and design.
Our understanding of varying traditional styles of architecture means that your traditional home will be designed with exceptional attention to detail. It will feel correct, not a pastiche or fake, but of its place and impressive in its own right.
From the panelling to the woodwork and stonework to window design, our eye and knowledge of what is right for your traditional project means that an exceptional home will be the outcome.
our work as traditional architects in Scotland
From working as executive architects on this group of award-winning Arts and Crafts style new houses in Renfrewshire to designing this luxury Scots Baronial home in the Scottish lowlands, we have completed many sensational traditional homes for our clients.
The simple classical form of a large traditional home in Stirlingshire was another traditional architecture win for our practice. Its symmetrical form and central hall lit by a cupola and large stair window are some of the clients’ favourite aspects.
These are just a sample of the projects we have completed as a traditional architecture practice in Scotland. We have also designed successful extensions to existing traditional homes. Some incorporate outbuildings, such as this beautiful 18th-century home, and others require additional new spaces and a reorganisation of the entire interior, such as this Victorian villa.
We also work as traditional interior architects on projects such as this impressive lodge in the Highlands that features sweeping staircases and grand party rooms.
our expertise
We specialise in classical and traditional architecture, creating timeless country houses and other impressive large residences across Scotland. Our award-winning projects demonstrate our expertise in scale and flow, and that our use of natural materials like local stone and wood harmonise with the landscape.
As Scottish traditional architects to many clients, we are also committed to sustainable design practices. Our team includes two Passivhaus-certified architects. Their specialist knowledge informs our design process, allowing us to create energy-efficient homes.

how we work
We believe that creating the perfect traditional home is a collaborative journey. Our team of Scottish architects and designers work closely with each client to understand the vision they have for their house.
We listen carefully to your priorities to ensure that every aspect of your new residence — from its overall form to the smallest decorative detail — aligns with your vision.
Throughout the project, we maintain open communication, keeping you informed and involved at every stage. We understand that building or renovating a home is a huge investment, both financially and emotionally, and we want to make this process as enjoyable as possible.
our partners
Creating exceptional traditional homes requires more than just architectural expertise. We coordinate with trusted builders, engineers and interior designers to ensure every aspect of our client’s dream house is thoughtfully realised.
Our long-standing partnerships with suppliers of high-quality, sustainable materials allow us to source the best products for our projects.
We also have strong relationships with conservation specialists and heritage bodies. These connections are invaluable when working on listed buildings or in conservation areas to ensure our designs meet regulatory requirements.
