Residential – Lothianbridge, Midlothian

Extension and alterations to a detached Victorian house, combining traditional detailing with modern materials and sustainable design. The project reconfigured the ground floor to create an open-plan kitchen and living space opening to the garden, with a new insulated floor slab, underfloor heating, and a biomass heating system.

A two-storey side extension was added in natural stone and slate to complement the original architecture, while a contrasting glazed rear sitting room introduces a contemporary edge. A new boot room and guest suite connect through a light-filled link, with patent glazing overhead.

At first floor level, the master bedroom opens onto a private terrace overlooking the landscaped gardens and river valley. The project concluded with a modest garage extension, creating a bright studio connected to the sunniest part of the garden.
