“I asked John at very short notice to prepare a plan and an application for a building warrant for the renovation of a Georgian flat. He did all of this very efficiently and enabled me to keep my project on track.”
★★★★★
“John was brilliant, always happy to discuss things and to go back and forth until we landed on the design that worked for us. He has obviously done a few loft conversions before and it certainly shows.”
★★★★★
“John turned our idea and vision into reality. Great advice and suggestions to help bring the project to completion. We didn’t need to worry about a thing. Highly recommend John.”
Three ways to improve your home
Start with the space you have. Make it work harder.
Your project should solve the daily frustrations: poor flow, a dark kitchen, missing storage, nowhere to work or a growing family squeezed into the wrong layout.
02
House extensions
Create the kitchen, family room or garden connection your home is missing, with a design that responds to daylight, neighbours and context.

From idea to buildable project
A clear route through the decisions.
You do not need to know every answer before you call. The process uncovers the right questions in the right order.
- 01
Clarify
Define what is not working, what matters most and the budget you want the design to respect.
- 02
Survey & design
Understand your existing property, test options and develop a layout around the way you live.
- 03
Permissions
Prepare the planning, listed-building or building-warrant information your proposal requires.
- 04
Build with clarity
Use coordinated information to seek prices, answer questions and move into construction with fewer unknowns.
Designed for Edinburgh
Your home’s character and constraints become design inputs.
Structure, shared access, conservation status, listed features, roof forms and close neighbours can all shape the right answer. Understanding them early gives you a clearer, more realistic route forward.
