About Matson Mourier
Founded by experienced architects Chris Matson and Gill Mourier, our Midlothian-based architectural practice in Scotland blends design skill with an ethical, client-focused approach. We’re problem-solvers at heart — helping clients see possibilities they might not have imagined and guiding each project with clarity and care. From interior fit-outs and small commercial projects to bespoke homes, we consider every aspect of design — from the big picture to the fine detail — to create spaces that work beautifully and feel right.
Based in Midlothian, we work with clients across Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, managing projects from the earliest concept through to completion. We offer a safe, trusted pair of hands and a process that is open, enjoyable, and tailored to each client.
Our Design Philosophy
Great design begins with understanding. Every project is approached in a way that suits its context and the people who will use it - no one-size-fits-all solutions. We combine creativity, practicality, and technical expertise to ensure spaces function beautifully while offering moments of delight and subtle surprises that elevate the everyday. Our careful attention to detail brings a distinct quality to each project, creating environments that feel considered, personal, and thoughtfully designed. By designing appropriately for each client and setting, we create spaces that are meaningful, enduring, and tailored to your vision.
