Featured Project
Edinburgh Architectural Association
Small Project Award Winner 2021
Old Schoolhouse - Edinburgh
'The Old Schoolhouse is special: it puts architecture in the urban realm and at the heart of a community. The clever plan resolutions and contextual architectural inspirations ensure that the architectural delivery is respectful, honest, polite and rich. This project raises the inherent values and pride that every building at the heart of a community can deliver by being repurposed.
