In 2015 we were double award winners, collecting an RIAS Award and also a Saltire Society Housing Design Award for our Rosefield project, which was also shor tlisted for the prestigious RIAS Andrew Doolan Award. 2016 also saw further success with our Blakeburn project winning a 2016 Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) award, an FSC forestry commission award, a Scottish Borders Council design award together with a Saltire Society Housing Design Award.

We are also shor tlisted again for the RIAS Andrew Doolan award. The prestigious 2016 Saltire Medal for excellence in housing design was also awarded to our practice. We are particularly proud of this as the Saltire Society Housing Design Awards have been rewarding and advocating innovation and excellence in Scottish house building and place-making for longer than any other design awards in Scotland. 2017 saw our Edinburgh Road project (see above) win our third RIAS award in as many years, with the building also making the longlist for the RIBA House of the Year. The year ended with a prime time television appearance for the project on Channel 4’s Grand Designs. We have built on this and currently have projects across Scotland, in the Highlands, Argyll and Bute, Inverness, Edinburgh, Lothians and the Scottish Borders, together with projects in Cheshire and more recently Finland.

We are award winning Architects working across Scotland, with a focus on community and sustainability.

Our goal is to create work that is honest; solutions that are exploratory, educational and inspirational. Research that adds value and inspires change. Architecture that is conceptually interesting and visually stunning. We design with the belief that process and collaboration are as valuable as the end result.

In addition to a well-designed space, we believe passionately in community, participation and sustainability. We aspire for design that enriches people's lives, and looks to organically balance quality, value and creativity.

We believe architecture has the power to do more than just build, it can make a difference by altering perceptions, emotions and lives for the better. That is what we strive to be a part off. It’s who we are.
