When Fife Architects began, almost 15 years ago, we had the challenge of starting a business from scratch and all that goes with that.

Business logos are difficult - with so many possibilities it is tricky to finally make a decision and hope it`s the right one.

Our logo is the gable of the home we were living in at the time, and features the `crow step` stone detail common to historic buildings around the East Neuk of Fife.

We chose the colour yellow as a logo and brand colour, inspired by the rapeseed fields that are splashed around the area at this time of year.

Years on, our logo still fits our business and yellow is a big feature in the office;

Almost there for this coastal whole house renovation and extension by Fife Architects;

This carefully designed home will provided plenty of natural light and sea views for the kitchen and living spaces located on the first floor.

Moving in day is just around the corner, an outside sauna will provide perfect relaxation after all the hard work.

We are thrilled to share some images of one of our latest projects in the heart of Fife.

This small project features a bespoke garage and potting shed designed to disappear into the rolling landscape.

​Design Highlights:

​Green Sedum Roof: Providing natural insulation and a haven for local pollinators. 🐝

​Thermopine Cladding: Finished in a deep charcoal to provide a sleek, durable, and sustainable silhouette.

​Structural Oak: Heavy timber posts grounded on natural stone to weather beautifully over time.

Great job by RM Joinery & Building Contractors! 👏🏼👏🏼

Our team deserved a well earned break and what a morning we have had, and what a day to be outside and enjoying this spectacular area. Of course we can`t help but revisit an old project and great to see the Mill Conversion by Svein Mjeldheim / Fife Architects ageing gracefully well 14 years after completion.

The morning was finished off with a delicious lunch at @baern_cafe where we forgot to take one single photograph because the food was so good and we were too busy enjoying it!!

Our team deserved a break so we did something different and wow what a morning we have had. The day began with a visit to our friends at @taranguitars , where we met luthier team Zachie, Rona, Caelin and owner Rory Dowling in their amazing workshop at Comielaw. Rory took us through their guitar design process (not unlike our own) where they work closely with each of their customers to deliver a completely one of a kind instrument. We were blown away by the level of craftmanship Taran apply to each of their guitars, thank you so much for having us!

Fantastic to see the owners of this special home moved back in and enjoying the spectacular panoramic view of St Monans once again literally from their own doorstep! More photos to follow once the dust settles, however we are delighted for our clients and wish them every happiness in their new home. #architecture #fife #dreamy

A visit to one of our completed house projects in St Monans, 8 months on. The wildflower mix green roof is thriving, even in this exposed, coastal location and having gone through a bitter winter. There was some of the green roof plant blanket leftover, so the owner let it grow on the ground in the garden (first image bottom left), it looks like it has really taken and hopefully will spread. #greenroof #fifecoastalpath #architecture #stmonans

Some initial design images for the renovation of this wonderful Victorian villa;

The process behind these is a labour of love, starting with a full point cloud digital survey of the building in order to build a highly accurate 3D digital model of the existing villa, including intricate stone details, mouldings and cornices.

We work closely with our clients, to develop their project brief and review designs as we go. The initial design exercise is key to moving forward with the rest of the project, and ensures architect and client are on the same page.

All these services are carried out in-house by Fife Architects, from survey to architectural images, our small dedicated team go the extra mile to help create dream homes.
