New Build House Architects
At Matson Mourier, we design new build homes that are as individual as the people who live in them. As experienced new build architects based near Edinburgh and working across the UK, we specialise in creating bespoke homes that combine functionality, timeless design, and personal expression. Every project is guided by a deep understanding of how people live today, with careful attention to natural light, materiality, sustainability, and context. From contemporary hillside residences to traditional Scottish estates, we work closely with homeowners and developers from concept through completion, ensuring each home sits beautifully in its surroundings while delivering comfort, performance, and lasting value.

Our Approach to New Build Design
Designing a new build home is an exciting journey, and we guide you every step of the way. We collaborate with you to define your vision, understand your lifestyle, and translate it into a practical, buildable design. Our services cover the full process, from feasibility studies and planning to technical drawings and site coordination, all with a focus on design quality, energy efficiency, and future-proof construction. Sustainability is central to our approach, incorporating passive design principles, renewable technologies such as heat pumps, solar systems, and MVHR, and low-impact materials to ensure homes are comfortable, energy-efficient, and long-lasting.
We design homes for a wide variety of clients and requirements. For private homeowners, we create fully tailored “forever homes” that reflect lifestyle, taste, and the unique character of the site. For developers, we deliver design-led residential schemes that combine creativity with practicality and market appeal. We also design second homes and countryside retreats, taking into account rural context, local regulations, and the desired level of privacy and comfort. Across all projects, our architects bring vision, precision, and technical expertise to create homes that are both beautiful and functional.
Tailored Homes for Every Client
What We Design
Our portfolio encompasses a range of home types. We create bespoke one-off houses completely tailored to the client and site, as well as luxury and high-end residences where craftsmanship, materials, and technology are integrated into every detail. We design contemporary new builds that are light-filled, energy-efficient, and suited to modern living, alongside traditional Scottish homes that respect heritage and vernacular styles while using local materials. Every project is designed to balance innovation with timeless elegance, whether situated on an urban plot or a rural estate, and to deliver a home that feels coherent, practical, and extraordinary.
Sustainable and Scottish Architecture
We believe great homes should be as sustainable as they are beautiful. Our new build designs incorporate passive heating and cooling, renewable energy systems, and sustainable materials wherever possible. As architects committed to long-term performance, we design homes that are comfortable year-round, energy-efficient, and built to last.
