Science & Technology Architects

At Matson Mourier, we create spaces that make innovation happen. Based near Edinburgh and working across Scotland, we specialise in practical, high-performance research and technical facilities.

Whether it’s a lab fit-out or an innovation hub, we focus on function, workflow, and future adaptability. Even when larger contractors deliver the build, we provide consultancy on layout, user flow, and operational efficiency, ensuring your space works today and tomorrow.

What We Design

  • Empty laboratory or medical workspace with desks, chairs, and equipment.

    Laboratories & Research Facilities

    Flexible spaces for diverse disciplines and equipment

  • An empty office space with multiple computer monitors on desks, a white filing cabinet, and a small sitting area with a black armchair near a door with glass panels. The room has white walls, large windows, and a gray patterned carpet.

    Innovation & Technology Centres

    Collaborative environments for start-ups, universities, and commercial R&D
