Our top 10 places to get snowed in
With all the chaos of the last few days we thought we would gather a few projects we like from around the world to show how Architecture can harness the so called “Beast from the East” and get cosy doing so!
Here are the top 10 places we’d love to get snowed in.
Connecting two properties into one
Councils set out criteria for Single Storey Permitted Development which allow extensions, in certain circumstances, to be constructed without Planning Permission. These guidelines set out criteria for many factors including size, height and the position of the extension, however if these can be met, as they were on this project, Planning Permission is not required which can save time, money and stress.
Extensions – When is Planning Permission not required?

Ugly House Lovely House
We work on a variety of projects which involve altering or extending a home. This one had a very interesting brief; the family had grown, and they needed extra space, but they also desired a house that they were excited to come home to. Like the popular channel 4 series, we were to transform this ugly house to a lovely house!
DIA Awards – Winner Best Interior
We are delighted to have won Best Interior at the Dundee Institute of Architects Awards 2017 for our Woodend project.
Formerly Fish Goes Live!!!
In January we moved into a new studio on at 37 Ferry Road. It's a really exciting time and we are delighted to share the space with Be Seated, Nick Burton Garden Design and Hen & Crask Interior Design.
Revisiting Drumpark
We had a great day revisiting these two houses with Marc Millar Photography. Both sets of clients have moved in and are thoroughly enjoying their new homes. The early summer weather was surprisingly good for Scotland!
Toumaline Starts on Site
At the start of 2017 work started on a new single storey house near Perth. It's a fabulous site with great views to the south and the Ochil hills, the house sits into the site given it shelter and reducing the impact on the surrounding landscape.
Drumpark Completion
Both houses at Drumpark in Perthshire are now complete, the clients have moved in and are delighted with their new homes. We will upload more photographs of both projects very shortly
Drumpark – Construction Progress Gallery
Some external progress photographs of Plot 2. The timber frame is complete, the windows and doors are in and the slate roof is finished. Once the external finishes push on the scaffolding can come down and the building will be revealed.
Drumpark – Construction Progress Gallery
The views from this house are pretty special! Beautiful Perthshire countryside framed by the large windows on the ground floor and from the open plan office on the first floor. The external stone construction has started as well as the closed boarded timber cladding.
