Looking for residential design in Bridge of Allan? ED Design is an architectural design studio based in neighbouring Stirling, working with homeowners in Bridge of Allan on extensions, renovations and alterations to period homes.

Bridge of Allan's Victorian spa-town villas are some of the finest houses in the area. We help owners adapt them for modern family life while keeping what makes them special.

Designing in Bridge of Allan

Period homes, contemporary living.

Large stone villas with mature gardens are typical here, often with tall ceilings and generous rooms but a kitchen and living arrangement that no longer suits the way families live.

Our work in settings like this includes garden rooms and kitchen extensions, reconfigured layouts, and sensitive upgrades to listed and traditional buildings. Our Merchiston garden room, added to a listed villa in an Edinburgh conservation area, shows the approach.

Planning

Planning in Bridge of Allan.

Planning applications in Bridge of Allan are decided by Stirling Council. Parts of the town are a conservation area, and some villas are listed, which can mean listed building consent alongside planning permission.

We look at the conservation and listing position first, and review the relevant policies and constraints so the design responds to them from the outset.

Questions

Common questions.

Do I need an architect for my project in Bridge of Allan?

No. Scottish law does not require an ARB-registered architect to prepare planning or Building Warrant applications, and many homes are designed by architectural designers and technologists. ED Design is an architectural design studio, not an ARB-registered architects' practice. We design your home and prepare the planning and Building Warrant drawings, working with structural engineers and other consultants where needed.

Who decides planning applications in Bridge of Allan?

Stirling Council.
