Our Approach to Residential Design
At Matson Mourier, every home we design is bespoke - no two are the same. We begin by listening to how you live, what inspires you, and the experience you want from your home. Our chartered, RIAS-registered architects translate that vision into thoughtful, buildable design that works beautifully in its setting, whether urban, rural, or coastal.
We provide end-to-end support through all RIBA stages, from initial concept and planning, through technical design, approvals, and construction, ensuring projects run smoothly and efficiently. Experienced with local authorities across Scotland, we bring clarity and confidence to the process. Attention to detail, natural light, spatial flow, and sustainable design are at the heart of every project, creating homes that are both functional and inspiring.
Luxury & High-End Residential Design
As luxury residential architects based in Scotland, we create distinctive homes that balance design innovation, refined craftsmanship, and quiet luxury. From contemporary new builds to classic Scottish estates, our high-end residential design approach is tailored to your lifestyle, taste, and desire for understated elegance.
We enjoy collaborating with skilled craftspeople, interior designers, and trusted contractors to deliver homes that are light-filled, comfortable, and beautifully made. Every element — from bespoke finishes to thoughtful detailing — is carefully considered to create spaces that feel effortless, enduring, and uniquely yours.
Sustainable and Scottish Architecture
As Scottish residential architects, we take inspiration from the country’s landscapes, light, and distinctive architectural heritage. Our work celebrates natural materials — from the texture of Scottish stone to the warmth of timber — used in contemporary, thoughtful ways that respect tradition. We always favour real materials over imitations, creating designs that feel honest, enduring, and rooted in their place.
Sustainability sits at the heart of our architectural design in Scotland. We combine low-energy design, retrofit knowledge, and sustainable materials to create homes that are efficient, comfortable, and beautifully crafted. Whether modern or traditional, each project reflects our belief in sustainable architecture that enriches lives and works in harmony with the environment.
