  • "I would thoroughly recommend Neil if you are looking for an architect. He designed our house renovations which included removing a wall and moving our kitchen. Neil was very approachable and took the time to listen. He also understood that we were new to carrying out this type of work and was patient and explained the process thoroughly to address any concerns we had. Neil was also very considered with his ideas and presented us with options to pick from which was very helpful. We are delighted with the results."

    Adam Dunkerley, Fife

  • "We were really happy with the service we had from Neil. He helped us take down a wall and create an open plan kitchen and living space, which wasn’t easy due to being an old Victorian property. He was realistic with timescales and pricing quotes and dealt with the drawings and Structural Engineer, all the way though to getting the building warrant. We felt him to be reliable and trustworthy and would work with him again."

    Georgie Levison, Fife

  • "We were delighted with the outcome of our discussions and plans for our extension. Neil listened to our ideas, suggested changes and also made good use of existing doors and windows. He was very conscious of being ecological and energy saving. The builders found his detailed drawings easy to follow. We now have an extension to our house which has met our all expectations for space, comfort and convenience."

    Fraser Falconer, Linlithgow

  • "Thanks to Neil we now live in a stunning modern house that lives up to the beauty of its garden setting. Neil combines creative vision with practical experience and also manages to achieve a great balance between listening and leading on design. He helped us make a decision on our builder, and then became an active partner in the three way relationship (builder/architect/client) which oversaw the build itself. As our new house began to emerge from the ground, he was available on site to help us make decisions on the many small but critical details, and was flexible and happy to adapt his ideas where our needs changed. We'd have no reservations in recommending Neil and are delighted with the end result."
