ABOUT ME
I’m an architectural designer with over 20 years of experience in residential design. Now based in Scotland,
I help homeowners bring new life to their homes through thoughtful extensions, conversions and alterations. I believe good design comes from communication with the client. Architecture should reflect the people who live in it — their routines, values, and vision for the future.
My approach is calm, collaborative and personal. I work closely with each client to shape modern, livable spaces that are simple, beautiful and suited to everyday life — using materials that are natural, sustainable and local whenever possible.
"Designing homes that live with you — naturally, timelessly."
PROJECTS
Listed Building Conversion
Strathaven, Scotland — 2025
Internal reconfiguration to create self-contained guest studios with minor external alterations.
In line with listed building and greenbelt planning requirements.
Modern Villa
Completed as part of international practice — 2023
Sculptural residence blending natural textures, full-height glazing, and minimalist detailing.
The composition of white render, timber cladding, and dark stone panels is highlighted by clean lines and bold volumes.
Designed to maximise natural light and visual connection to the outdoors.
Extension to the old house
Sandilands, Lanark, Scotland— 2024
A modern rear extension to a traditional stone house built in 1901. The project introduces a light-filled open-plan living space that contrasts yet complements the original architecture. The design merges heritage and contemporary form, using natural textures and clean lines to create a harmonious transition between old and new
Guest House
Lanark, Scotland —2024
A compact and modern guest house designed to integrate seamlessly into a sloping woodland garden. Elevated on stilts to preserve the natural terrain, the structure features timber cladding, natural stone accents, and expansive glazing to connect indoor spaces with the surrounding landscape. Ideal for short stays or remote working, this project combines simplicity, sustainability, and comfort.
Garden Room Extension to Garage Glasgow, Scotland · 2024
This project transforms an existing garage into a versatile garden room extension, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor living. A new timber-framed pergola creates an inviting al fresco lounge area, connected to the newly enclosed space through expansive glazing. The design utilizes timber cladding and brick textures, integrating the addition with both the existing structure and a contemporary garden landscape.
Brewery Reconstruction & Office Extension
International practice — 2015
This project combines the reconstruction of an existing brewery building with the addition of a new office extension. The architectural approach emphasises dynamic forms, clean lines, and a bold material palette that reinterprets the industrial heritage of the site. The new volumes introduce a contemporary rhythm to the street frontage, while contrasting textures and articulated faсades create a strong visual identity.
STAGES & PRICING
With over 20 years of experience in architecture and interior design — and a deep understanding of both traditional and contemporary contexts — I offer more than just technical drawings. Every project, whether large or small, is approached as a creative collaboration. Together with my clients, we shape spaces that reflect their lives, values, and dreams.
I work closely with private homeowners, helping them understand what’s possible — even if they’re not quite sure where to start. Often, people don’t know exactly what they need until we explore it together through the design process.
Below is a simple overview of how a typical domestic project unfolds. At every stage, I make sure you know exactly what to expect — what I’ll be doing, and what I’ll need from you.
