Cairngorms Cottage Complete
Our Cairngorms Cottage retrofit project is now complete - a thoughtful transformation that has turned a simple existing interlocking-log cabin into a warm, characterful Highland retreat. Wrapped in woodfibre insulation and finished in Scottish larch, the finished building brings together robust low-energy performance with the charm of the original structure.


Stone detailing and progress on site
Great to see the masonry detailing coming together at our East Lothian extension, referencing exisitng rubble walls around the B-listed property. The fine droving and horizontal broaching at the rybats recreates the detailing elsewhere on site.
The new but traditionally built stone wall partly conceals a more contemporary language beyond, with crisply detailed zinc and timber clad buildings built against the wall forming a new courtyard. These will provide a porch, utility, and guesthouse for our clients.

Grange project nearing completion
A sneak peak at our latest Grange project as it nears completion.
A salvaged fireplace insert with a new joiner-made surround, paired with dark metalwork radiators to contrast the light walls painted in Atelier Ellis. A bespoke staircase leading to the loft conversion above - oak bullnosed treads with painted risers to follow. New rooflights introduced now flooding the space with natural light.

Attic Conversion Progress Update
New dormers progressing on our attic conversion project in Morningside.
Views out to leafy green South Edinburgh are captured with these new windows. Extending the attic space now provides extra bedrooms and space within the existing family home.
