If you are looking for an architect in Broughty Ferry to help with an older home, contemporary extension, conservation-area property or sensitive alteration, we can help you understand what is possible and how best to move the project forward.

Architecture rooted in local context.

Broughty Ferry has a distinctive architectural character, from Victorian villas and traditional stone terraces to coastal houses, suburban family homes and more recent contemporary additions.

Projects in these settings often need careful consideration. A successful proposal may need to improve light, space, comfort or energy performance, while also responding to the existing building, neighbouring properties, garden setting, street character and coastal conditions.

Our approach starts with understanding what is already there: the building, the site, the planning context and the qualities that make the property valuable.

Designing in conservation areas.

Many homes in Broughty Ferry have strong existing character but do not always suit the way people live now. Rooms may be cellular, rear spaces may be dark, previous alterations may be unresolved, or the relationship between house and garden may be poor.

We help clients explore how their homes can be improved with care. This might include a contemporary extension, a new kitchen and living space, a garden room, internal reconfiguration, refurbishment, repair of historic fabric, or a more coherent connection between old and new.

Broughty Ferry also includes several conservation areas, where design, planning and existing character need to be considered together. As RIAS Conservation Accredited architects, we can help with feasibility advice, planning applications, listed building consent, design statements, assessments of significance and heritage impact assessments where required. - these are used to support applications for new and often contemporary design.

A clear architectural process.

Every project starts with careful listening and clear advice. We help clients understand the potential of their property, the likely constraints, the approvals required and the most sensible route forward.

Depending on the project, our services can include feasibility studies, concept design, planning applications, listed building consent, building warrant applications, construction information, tendering and construction-stage support.
