Our clients approached us to bring out the best of this Grade-II listed terraced house. We had worked with them before to extend their holiday home so we were delighted to continue our relationship in a completely new context. We were tasked with reinvigorating its charm and reimagining the extension at the rear.

We completely stripped back the house and added a series of interventions to ensure it was better equipped for modern life. The flow from the front door was vastly improved due to the new, full-width rear extension. Created from glass and zinc, its inverted roof creates drama and interest. The Douglas Fir structure is exposed in the interior, injecting the space with warmth and rhythm.

Our Edinburgh Studio managed this project remotely, which was a complete success.

This home was shortlisted for the Scottish Design Awards 2021 in the Low Cost Project Schemes Under 200k category.
