Building within the context of the #Findhorn Conservation Area called for a sensitive approach to design, adapting and modernising traditional building techniques and forms to create a new house that sits carefully and respectfully alongside its neighbours

It has been about 3 years now since the completion and handover of the Dublin Street project.
.
The project saw the conversion and extension of a former office within the lower 3 levels of a B-listed New Town townhouse to create 3 luxury flats, one to each level.
.
A project that threw up its share of challenges, but great to work on with a fantastic team - @wearestone_acre @_avenuenorth @willruddengineers @pendantinteriors

7 years of projects in #Edinburgh. Well over 40 projects taken to at least Stage 03, with countless more feasibility and design studies too. Love being based in this city and contributing to its rich history.

DS Architecture is 7 years old today!
.
What a 7 years it has been, and impossible had it not been for the support of so many - family, friends, clients and collaborators. To all I extend a huge thank you.
.
Here is a selection of 7 favourite projects and concepts - completed, ongoing and upcoming - and here’s to many more years!

Throwback to 2015 and the renovation and alteration of the much loved Buffalo in Edinburgh.
.
The project involved reconfiguring and maximising the dining space and relocating the WCs to the basement while also refreshing the whole restaurant. If you fancy a good steak, head down to Chapel Street!

Lovely to share this advanced concept for a substantial rear and wraparound extension to a handsome detached Morningside villa in Edinburgh.
.
With a brief to open the existing house to the generous south facing garden and provide open plan living space internally, the design seeks to add a contemporary but sympathetic addition to the existing structure, hopefully showing what can be done.
.
Not all visions make it to reality and unfortunately this is not a design that will be progressed beyond this point, but it has been great to have the opportunity to work up the scheme and share it.

WINNER!!!!

Beyond delighted that the Dublin Street Lane project has won the Herald Property Award 2021 for Small Development of the Year.

The culmination of 5 years of hard work from initial designs for what was a remarkably tight and awkward city centre site to final completion.

Congratulations to the whole team including Client/Contractor Carlsson Properties (Andrew and Pete Mauritzen), @willruddengineers, Horizon M&E, @harleyhaddow and so many more.

Planning submitted this week for a proposed new build, 3 bedroom house on a constrained gap site in Joppa.
.
It has been great working with the clients to develop this bold but sensitive design, heavily influenced by the parameters in play, squeezing the most from a tight plot.

It’s fantastic to have work included once again within the ASA this year, with the Dublin Street Lane project featuring. So much good stuff going on in Scotland from a number of great practices

Principal elevation for a new 3 bed house set to be submitted for planning next week.
.
Set on a confined and sloped gap site, the design seeks to make the best use of the space available, laid out over 3 storeys (presenting only 2 to the front), while also offering a contemporary but sensitive addition to the eclectic streetscape

Fantastic news to hear that the Dublin Street Lane project has been shortlisted for a Herald Property Award 2021 in the Small Development category.
.
From initial designs in the sketchbook in late 2016, the project has evolved and come to life under the careful management of Carlsson Properties. Congratulations to all other nominees and fingers crossed for 30th September!

Structural roof ties over-clad in cedar in Kirknewton. A chance to maximise and celebrate the roof structure and ceiling line of the converted barn and create a real focal point in the space

An asymmetric form was adopted for this Morningside extension to maximise height and light to a secondary living space which also offers engagement with the garden.

Works are on the home straight in Portobello and one of the things completed since my last visit is the timber cladding. Looking sharp, but can you spot the concealed garden store door?

Part of the Blackford Road #refurbishment was to create a bright open #kitchen space which was achieved by knocking through two former spaces into one, and adding large glazed doors to the garden.
.
The kitchen itself was designed with the client and supplied by @archispek, and looks fantastic

Delighted to receive photos of the recently completed alteration and refurb project in the Grange, Edinburgh. The project saw the full overhaul of this handsome semi detached villa, including opening up a few rooms to create a bright open plan kitchen/dining space.
.
Huge credit to the @rollodevelopments team through what has been a difficult period to build anything, and thanks to @davidnarroassociates on the design front too.
