TOWNHOUSE RENOVATION

The base of this project was a sizeable three storey Victorian house in Stockbridge. The scope of the works was a complete renovation of the existing house with some structural alterations plus a generously proportioned extension. The extension spans the full width of house, replacing a warren of rooms which would have historically housed the servants. Glazed sliding doors, 2 large roof lights and some serious steel open up the space into a modern family living area with an architectural feel. The house is full of clever details, designed by the architects Somner Macdonald, including full height custom storage cupboards in the kitchen area and a spacious pantry with a hidden ‘attic’ level. Other works carried out included the replacement of all sash windows with conservation grade double glazed units, three new bathrooms all with unique tiling detail, a practical first floor utility room, and full redecoration throughout.

NEW TOWN APARTMENT

A full reconfiguration of a Georgian apartment back to its original layout, this project was a joy to work on. The client had a strong vision for the space, which featured a plywood kitchen by PLUCK, bold statement lighting and over 100sqm of engineered oak herringbone flooring.

Victorian townhouse

This project involved the full renovation of a townhouse in Morningside, and was completed in partnership with Edinburgh architects Somner Macdonald. The upper floor of the property was transformed into a spacious master suite with dressing room and ensuite bathroom, by combining several smaller rooms and introducing a round skylight. We also fully renovated the existing family bathroom; updated the kitchen by painting the cabinets and adding monochrome herringbone tiling, Caesarstone worktops and a new stone floor; and transformed the garage by adding larch cladding and a new single-ply Alwitra flat roof.

Georgian apartment

Part of this renovation in Edinburgh’s historic Grange area involved transforming two modest sized rooms into one spacious kitchen/dining room, with a huge island and stunning feature lighting. The bespoke hardwood double doors make a versatile entrance into this space, with options to flow into the rest of the property or to close in a cosy dining space. The custom designed built-in bookcase includes architectural lighting to highlight the original cornice.

Printworks renovation

An exiting project to completely transform a 90s flat into an architect-designed space in keeping with the industrial nature of this historic building. The interior of the property was fully reconfigured, with all walls removed and rooms re-built to open up the space. Original floorboards were sanded and refinished and structural steel uncovered and restored to its former glory. A huge bespoke window was installed in the new kitchen to frame the view of the rooftops with Edinburgh castle in the distance. Custom carpentry in the living area, including a desk and a media centre, zones the open-plan space. Both bedrooms included built-wardrobes with sliding doors to maximise space, along with timber slatted screen feature walls. The solid oak kitchen runs along one wall, drawing you through from the corridor into the living space, whilst exposed brickwork bare plaster ceilings throughout add to the industrial feel.
