ED Design. Leading you home.
Your home should feel unmistakably yours. At ED Design, we create confident contemporary architecture that begins with how you want to live and what makes your site special.
From bespoke self-build homes and replacement dwellings to transformative extensions and sensitive renovations, we bring fresh ideas, a strong eye for design and a practical understanding of how buildings come together.
Based in Stirling and working across Scotland, we’re here to help you turn an idea into a home you’ll love living in — now and for years to come.
Homes that stand apart. Architecture that belongs.
Every home begins with a different ambition. We take time to understand yours, explore the possibilities of your site and develop a design that makes the most of both. ED Design combines thoughtful, site-responsive design with practical expertise, guiding your project from initial ideas through planning, technical design and agreed construction support. You’ll have clear guidance along the way, with the scope and fee for each appointed stage agreed in advance.
Individual homes. Considered responses.
Explore our collection of homes, each thoughtfully designed around the people who live there, the character of their setting and the unique opportunities of the site.
Based in Stirling. Designing across Scotland.

The Scottish Self-Build Hub.
Building your own home is exciting, but knowing where to start isn’t always easy. The Scottish Self-Build Hub shares practical, plain-English guidance on finding land, planning permission, Building Warrants, costs, finance and design — so you can explore the possibilities with confidence.

Meet Chris and the studio →In our clients' words
“…a striking contemporary extension that doubles the size of the house while still respecting the character of the original building.”
“Planning and building warrant approval can be a real bottleneck on a project like this, but they got everything through efficiently and with minimal fuss, which meant we were on site and building far sooner than we expected.”
“They also worked brilliantly with our builder throughout construction… so nothing ever stalled waiting on drawings or clarifications.”
“He came up with an imaginative and wonderfully simple solution to the restrictions and orientation of the house.”
“His well prepared design passed through Planning with minimal comment.”
“He has allowed me to feel a true partner in the design process.”
“Chris has a great eye for design, understood what we wanted and was able to make some innovative suggestions.”
