A light-filled home extension for family living.
Pilgrims Hill in Linlithgow is a single-storey wraparound extension designed to transform the way this family home works and feels. From the outset, our focus was on creating a space that embraces modern living while respecting the character of the existing home. The result is an open, inviting extension that seamlessly connects the house to its garden and the outdoors beyond.
Open-plan spaces that bring everyone together.
The extension brings together kitchen, dining and living areas in a flexible, open-plan layout, while also accommodating a WC and utility room. Every element is designed around how the family lives day-to-day. Whether cooking, relaxing or entertaining, the space feels generous, light-filled and easy to use. By wrapping around the rear and side of the house, the extension flows naturally from the original building, avoiding the feeling of a separate “added-on” room.
Designed around you.
Pilgrims Hill is a home extension that puts the client’s lifestyle at the centre. Every choice—from roof form to materials to how the garden is incorporated—was made with how the family would use the space in mind. It’s not just about aesthetics: it’s about creating a home that feels generous, functional, and full of life.
“A sheltered outside space lets us open our doors and enjoy our garden all year round.”
This client feedback perfectly sums up the success of the project. The extension is a space that enhances family life, encourages connections, and makes the most of every season.

Vaulted ceilings and indoor-outdoor living.
One of the standout features is the asymmetric pitched, pin-wheel roof, which opens up the interiors with vaulted ceilings and provides a sense of volume. Large sliding doors bring the garden inside, creating a year-round indoor-outdoor connection. A sheltered, semi-enclosed outdoor space is a highlight for the family—a sun-trap where doors can stay open even on rainy days, perfect for relaxed dining or simply enjoying the garden in comfort with the security and privacy of the terrace canopy hugging you.
Thoughtful materials for a modern home.
Externally, the extension uses a mix of standing-seam quartz zinc panels and self-coloured acrylic render. These materials are not just durable—they give the home a clean, contemporary look that sits comfortably in its Linlithgow setting. Inside, the high ceilings and abundant natural light create a welcoming, uplifting environment for everyday living.
