Merry Christmas.
2020 has been challenging, but it was also when we merged three firms, creating a strong team with diverse experience & skills. As we close for the festive period, we thank all of our friends, family, colleagues, consultants & clients.

Orangery style garden room nearing completion in Midlothian. This extension to a listed building is a careful calibration of traditional and contemporary features, allowing the original building to "read" and adding a new chapter to its story. #midlothianarchitect #listedbuilding

We're fortunate to work with a number of talented architects. This week we're showcasing @StrachanDouglas. Douglas Strachan is a fast-growing, award-winning practice. If you're looking to bring your architectural plans to life, please get in touch 😊

Options Time!
Here are three external treatments for a family home extension in Edinburgh. All aiming to improve connection to the garden and make the most of the orientation by letting in lots of light from a high level.

One Dalkeith's "Decorate a Tired Old Bike" project has been a great success so far, with these bikes and more popping up all over the town, thanks to the inspiring efforts of individuals and organisations like Eskvalley Rotary and Dalkeith Guerilla Gardeners #doingitfordalkeith.

This listed Mews house had been the subject of various poor quality interventions and needed a radical overhaul to optimise it for modern living. This includes conversion of the attic and installation of a central feature stair, linking the re-proportioned spaces together.

Planning Permission Granted.
We're delighted to have secured permission for this well loved local nursery to increase its childcare capacity. During a time when the kids are staying at home, its nice to have something to look forward to for after they return #midlothianarchitect

Hi @DominicRaab will you help @fleck_evelyn - a former nurse who wants to get home and help with #COVID19 efforts?

She is stranded on #CoralPrincess400 with many others. All confirmed virus free. They need your help to get home. #GetEvelynHome

[Evelyn Fleck @fleck_evelyn]

Keep the #coralprincess400 at Rio until 26 March and you get a whole load of UK citizens home easily. COME ON it’s not rocket science!!! @DominicRaab @OwenThompson @db_60 @chris568926 @MorganSagartia @SimonWoodFCO

[Douglas Strachan @StrachanDouglas]

We're a small business & appreciate the ongoing support of our clients during this challenging time. We are conscious that many other small businesses do not have the same flexibility, so would encourage our friends and followers to also support them wherever possible. #covid19UK

[Douglas Strachan @StrachanDouglas]

Keep calm & carry on drawing! We're fortunate that much of our work can be done anywhere, so we've enabled our team to continue delivering our projects in multiple locations. We'll also use video calls rather than meetings and of course email. Look after yourselves and eachother.
