What we do
We design bespoke self-build homes, extensions and renovations, and replacement dwellings across Scotland, for homeowners and self-builders who want a home shaped around the way they live.
We guide clients through every stage, from early ideas and pre-purchase plot appraisals through planning, technical design and the Building Warrant, to construction on site.
How we're different
- Rooted in central Scotland. Based in Stirling and working across Perthshire, the Trossachs, Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Borders and beyond. We know the planning authorities, the landscapes and the builders.
- One studio from plot to keys. Design, planning, technical design, the warrant and construction stay with one team, so nothing is lost between stages.
- Fixed fees and a clear process. Eight defined stages, each with a fixed fee agreed before it starts.
- Honest advice. Clear views on planning prospects, costs and timescales, so you can make good decisions.
- Designed for Scotland. The climate, planning system and building standards here are different, and our work reflects that.
The process
Every project follows the same eight stages. See our services for the detail.
