Our Most Popular Architectural Services Offered in Edinburgh

Domestic Alterations and Extensions

Tailored designs for homeowners in Edinburgh‘s suburbs. We have much experience in enhancing living spaces in the area, always with thoughtful planning and execution. In a city the size of Edinburgh’s, and the rich history running through its veins, care and attention is brought to the fore both for reasons of planning and aesthetics.

HMO Conversions

Edinburgh is a popular place for rentals, and with plenty of large buildings suitable for HMO’s, this type of work has become often requested. We are experts in planning and managing the conversion of flats and other large buildings into Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO), ensuring compliance with all Edinburgh city and council regulations. We maintain good relationships with relevant parties and our experience means we can navigate the complexities for you with a professional touch.

Sash and Case Window Upgrades

As with any historic city, Edinburgh is full of beautiful, traditional, sash and case windows. Unfortunately, their insulation properties do not match their looks. We specialise in planning their alteration to double glazing. This maintains the aesthetic integrity of listed buildings and properties in conservation areas.

Listed Building Works

We have the experience and skill required to assist with designing and obtaining consents for alterations and renovations to Edinburgh’s historic buildings. We understand that preserving their character can be achieved while introducing modern functionality.

Conservation Area Projects

Experienced in working within Edinburgh’s 50+ conservation areas, ensuring all designs and changes respect local guidelines and the city’s heritage. Things to think about include planning permission, design and materials used, restrictions on demolition, tree preservation orders and “Article 4” direction (things like changing windows and doors.)

Advertisement Consents for Signage

Providing professional planning and consents for commercial signage in compliance with Edinburgh’s stringent regulations related to positioning and size among other factors.

Collaborations with Local Trades and Designers

Working with trusted local tradespeople, bespoke kitchen designers, and interior designers allow us to deliver seamless, high-quality projects.

The great relationships we have with these Edinburgh-based professionals, ensure exceptional workmanship and tailored solutions for renovations and new builds, all while supporting the local community.

Partnerships
