A bright, welcoming home extension in Linlithgow Bridge.
Hilltop is one of those projects that reminds us why we love what we do. Working closely with our clients, we transformed a much-loved Linlithgow home into a brighter, more social, and more enjoyable place to live. The new extension brings modern comfort, generous light, and a real sense of calm to the heart of the house — all while feeling completely natural alongside the original building.
Light, space and a better way to live.
From the beginning, our goal was simple: to create a space that makes everyday life feel easier and more joyful. By opening up the existing rooms and adding a light-filled single-storey extension, we were able to give the home a new kitchen–dining space that feels like it’s always been there.
Large sliding doors open directly onto a level patio, making it easy to step out into the garden — whether you’re having a coffee in the morning sun, keeping an eye on the kids, or hosting a summer BBQ. A corner window frames a calm garden view, and slim rooflights above bring soft daylight deep into the home. No dark corners. No wasted space. Just a bright, uplifting room that feels good to spend time in.
‘Our home now has beautiful, light-filled, open plan space to entertain and welcome friends and family.’
A warm, contemporary material palette.
We kept the design simple, honest, and welcoming. The exterior uses white render, natural timber, and slim aluminium frames to create a clean, modern look that feels warm rather than stark. Inside, the underfloor heating adds a cosy, gentle warmth underfoot — perfect for those cooler mornings — while working neatly alongside the home’s existing heating.
The overall effect is calm, modern, and quietly elegant. Nothing feels showy or forced. Everything is there to make the house feel better to live in.
Designed for everyday life (and the big moments too)
What we love most about Hilltop is how naturally the new space works with the rest of the home. It’s now the place where everything happens — cooking, chatting, working, relaxing, entertaining. There’s room to gather as a family, and equally, space to spread out and enjoy a bit of quiet.
The big structural opening between old and new creates a lovely sense of flow, so the extension doesn’t feel separate or ‘added on’. Instead, it feels like the home finally has the breathing space it always needed.

What our clients said.
Our clients put it perfectly:
“Our home now has beautiful, light-filled, open-plan space to entertain and welcome friends and family.”
For us, that’s exactly what good architecture should do — make life feel a little easier, a little warmer, and a little more joyful.
