Somner Macdonald Architects is a residential architecture practice with studios in Edinburgh and East Lothian, a growing presence in Perthshire, and projects spanning central and southern Scotland.

Founded in 1993, we bring over three decades of experience designing homes shaped by clarity, care and a deep understanding of place. From generous garden plots to expansive rural settings, our work gives us the confidence to design with purpose and long-term vision.

We specialise in expressive yet restrained architecture, creating substantial homes that feel calm, coherent and attuned to modern domestic life. Architecture, interiors and landscape are considered together, through a rigorous process and strong relationships with clients, collaborators and craftspeople.

As a multigenerational practice, we bring particular expertise in listed buildings, heritage sites and complex planning contexts. Alongside whole-house restorations and sensitive transformations, we relish the opportunity to create ambitious extensions and bespoke new homes, combining the wisdom of the past with contemporary thinking, craft, precision and lasting value.
