Recently completed extension in Shawlands for clients - two storey side extension to Victorian semi detached villa with stone facing and Scottish Larch cladding which will weather to silver grey. The client went to great trouble to source local stone after a protracted build process. Really positive end result and some fabulous spaces inside.

A series of end-of-year reports reveal a downturn in construction and pessimism among architects. However, hopes remain for a return to growth in the new year

A new Year and a new project in progress in Milngavie. House extension which will be clad in timber with a single ply membrane warm roof with roof windows. Wide eaves creates a cover corner with feature window. Looking very promising.
