NEWS & UPDATES
REVIEW OF 2025
2025: A YEAR ON SITE
From ambitious retrofits to thoughtful new extensions, 2025 was a year of getting projects onto site and seeing design ideas come to life. Read our review of the six homes we worked on and the challenges we solved for clients across Scotland and beyond.
ON SITE UPDATE
We’re currently on site in Trinity, Edinburgh transforming an underperforming conservatory into a fully insulated rear extension. The original glazed structure was too hot in summer and too cold in winter, making it difficult to use throughout the year. By retaining the existing slab and masonry base while rebuilding the upper structure, the new extension significantly improves energy performance while maintaining the original footprint. The project will create a bright kitchen, dining and social space with large rooflights, high-performance glazing and durable contemporary cladding.
