Industrial Architects in Scotland – Warehousing & Commercial Units
At Matson Mourier, we specialise in designing industrial and commercial units that work for people and processes alike. Based near Edinburgh and working across Scotland, we create spaces that are practical, adaptable, and efficient - whether for storage, logistics, or small-scale business operations.
Our approach balances functionality and build quality with thoughtful design. Every layout considers vehicle access, storage optimisation, and operational flow, while sustainable materials and energy-conscious strategies ensure buildings perform efficiently for years to come. Even small units benefit from a fabric-first approach, maximising comfort, efficiency, and longevity without unnecessary complexity.

Our Approach to Industrial Units
Industrial buildings need to do more than just exist, they need to support day-to-day operations, adapt as business needs change, and minimise ongoing costs. We focus on:
Layouts optimised for operational flow, storage, and vehicle movement
Flexibility to allow future expansion or reconfiguration
Durable, low-maintenance materials that keep running costs down
Practical design solutions that balance performance with architectural quality
With every project, we aim to make life easier for owners and operators while creating spaces that are efficient, adaptable, and future-ready.
Conversions & Site Redevelopment
Not every industrial project starts from scratch. We have experience in converting and upgrading existing units, turning underutilised spaces into modern, high-performing facilities. From warehouse retrofits to phased site redevelopment, our designs unlock potential while minimising environmental impact.
Planning, Compliance & Sustainability
We understand the complexities of industrial projects, including planning approvals and operational requirements. Our team ensures:
Compliance with building regulations and accessibility standards
Sustainable design principles, including daylighting, energy efficiency, and material optimisation
Integration with wider site considerations, including phased development if budgets or operations require it
Our experience also includes preparing mini-masterplans for industrial sites to support inclusion in local development frameworks, giving clients confidence that their proposals align with planning policy from the outset.
We also cross-link with our Retrofit & Sustainable Design services, applying the same fabric-first thinking to improve the performance of existing structures.
