Garden Nooks at The Long Houses

The breakout space is positioned between living room and kitchen - providing a sheltered retreat connected to the garden

The nook is carved into bespoke cabinetry that wraps around a study space that sits behind the nook and between the main living areas

We recently spoke with Homes & Interiors Scotland about the trend for nooks and breakout spaces in homes - you can read more about this in the latest edition of which is out now

Delighted to be in the latest edition of Homes & Interiors Scotland contributing to a piece about trends in architecture

We chatted about an increase in requests for bespoke 'nooks' – an elegant response to the way our homes have adapted throughout the pandemic to become places we live and work

'The Long Houses'

We're excited to share visuals of our project at Wester Balgedie
which has been submitted to planning - the three new homes overlooking Loch Leven have been designed to reflect traditional forms of existing houses within the village with a contemporary approach that defines the proposals as new additions to the historic 'ferm toun'

More details of the project coming soon

Delighted to receive planning permission for our proposed new build dwelling. A traditional style informed by its locality with modern accents such as the zinc and timber rear dormer which overlooks the sloping site - the mixture of old and new will be reflected within our interior design strategy currently in development

This , we're celebrating our continuing involvement in the restoration and development of the New Lanark World Heritage Site.

Our work here extends over 35 years with the latest phase commencing in 2016 with the restoration of the A-Listed Double Row terrace - the last empty block on the site having previously provided housing for millworkers in the village the properties will be brought back into residential use. The interior of one tenement, 'The Museum Stair' has also been conserved and stabilised - too delicate to allow public access; the interior has been digitally recorded for exhibition and conservation use.

The current phase, known as The Townscape Heritage Project is due for completion in 2020 and also includes work to Mantilla Row, Caithness Row and the Counting House.

Digital models play a crucial role in the design process, allowing proposals to be visualised and tested. For our Community Hall project in Midlothian, we're considering the proposed form in its context as well as the materials which will be used.

A number of material choices have been considered which complement, enhance or contrast with the neighbouring church building. Initial models have been created to allow us to study how these different materials then might work with the form of the building, with each other and with light.

Community Hall, Midlothian | CLWG Architects Community Hall, Midlothian We’re developing proposals for a new community hall within the grounds of a category B Listed church in Midlothian. The form has been derived from the site context and locality and is intended to be minimal in terms of detailing and appearance, in order to be visually comp…

Visuals for the proposed interior of our Boiler House project with The University of Edinburgh

Lost Edinburgh: A brief tour of Castlehill WITH its name recorded in text as early as 1484, the settlement at Castlehill is thought to be one of the oldest in the city – perhaps pre-dating the royal burgh itself.

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully obtained planning permission for a new office space within the High School Yards, Edinburgh. The proposals develop and extend an existing Boiler House on the site to provide working space for the University of Edinburgh's new Social Responsibility and Sustainability Department.

The project is due to start on site early 2015 and is planned for completion Summer 2015.
