Architect serving Monifieth.
New Build Houses, Home Extensions & Refurbishment.
Contemporary architecture rooted in Monifieth’s coastal character.
Monifieth offers a rare blend of coastal calm, modern convenience and established residential neighbourhoods — at 125Architects, we create homes that respond beautifully to their setting. From beachfront villas and links-side properties to long-standing residential streets filled with detached family homes, our architecture is shaped by Monifieth’s light, its views, its landscape and its people.
Whether you’re planning a contemporary extension, transforming a traditional stone property or building a new home near the coast, we bring clarity, creativity and a highly personal approach to every project.
Designing for the coast — views, light and resilience.
Monifieth’s outlook over the Firth of Tay, its expansive beach and its links-influenced landscape give the area a relaxed, spacious character. Our design approach embraces this coastal setting — maximising natural light, framing long views and selecting materials that perform well in coastal conditions.
We consider solar gain, shelter, outdoor living and the simple pleasure of living close to the sea. If your home is within view of the dunes or the golf course, we help you elevate the connection between inside and out.
Extensions & renovations for detached and family homes.
Monifieth includes a high proportion of detached homes and sought-after family properties. This makes high-quality extensions one of the most valuable ways to improve functionality and increase long-term value.
We specialise in:
Contemporary kitchen/dining extensions
Loft conversions
Reconfiguring internal layouts for modern living
Large-format glazing strategies
Energy upgrades and fabric improvements
Sensitive remodelling of dated 20th-century houses
Our process begins with understanding how you live — then designing spaces that feel effortless, uplifting and future-proofed.
Traditional homes, listed buildings & conservation expertise.
Monifieth contains a range of historic and Victorian buildings, along with several listed structures. Working on these properties requires care, technical knowledge and respect for their architectural character.
We routinely handle:
Listed building consents
Alterations to traditional stone or period properties
Extensions that balance contemporary design with heritage context
Repairs, fabric upgrades and energy improvements
Navigating council expectations around setting, scale and materials
If you’re planning work on an older property, we guide you through the regulations, heritage considerations and planning guidance — ensuring the design feels both authentic and beautifully updated.
Navigating planning in Angus & coastal settings.
From Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and landscape constraints to biodiversity requirements in areas close to Barry Links, we carry out full site appraisals before committing to a design direction.
Our early-stage feasibility studies assess:
Planning risk
Site levels
Views and orientation
TPO and ecological constraints
Flood and coastal considerations
Development opportunities unique to your plot
The result is design that is confident, buildable and aligned with Angus Council planning priorities. 125Architects are proudly serving clients across Dundee, Tayside and Angus.
