Somner Macdonald Architects is a residential architecture practice based in Edinburgh and working across Scotland. Founded in 1993, we bring over three decades of experience designing homes that are shaped by clarity, care and a deep understanding of place. Our legacy in urban and rural settings alike gives us the confidence to design with purpose and long-term vision.

We specialise in expressive yet restrained architecture—spaces that feel calm, coherent and attuned to modern domestic life. Every project is guided by a rigorous, considered process and built on strong relationships with clients, collaborators and craftspeople. From listed buildings to new builds, we deliver homes that honour heritage while embracing the needs of contemporary living.

With studios in Edinburgh and East Lothian, our work spans central and southern Scotland. Our team brings together deep planning expertise, local knowledge and award-winning design to deliver ambitious, crafted homes with lasting value.
