Eco-friendly Renovation and Extension by the Sea: Featured in Coast Magazine

Another milestone in St Monans!

​The interpretation and community notice boards are officially in place at the 1875 Memorial Garden.

​It’s a very proud moment for us. This project has transformed a quiet corner of the village into a space that feels both grounded in memory and alive for everyday life.

​With the bench and bollards arriving soon to complete the overall project, the finish line is in sight. The best part? This entire memorial has been funded and driven by the proud community of St Monans. ...

Great to have the results of the EPC rating for one our recently completed renovation and extension projects exceed 100 points and achieve an A rating. This home was built around 1960 and has now undergone a huge transformation including the installation of an air source heat pump and solar panels. Well done to all involved and delighted for our clients! ...

Morning site visits don’t get much better than this!

We were back on-site this morning to visit this fabulous renovation project in Anstruther. It was great seeing the natural morning light fill the new living space, with views out over the Firth of Forth and the golf course.

​Amazing breakfast spot!

Can you spot our project? It`s lovely to see this completed project in St Monans come to its own and settle into its context - as seen here from the historic harbour. We look forward to getting this project photographed!

We enjoyed a special day at the Royal Garden Party this week, which we attended as part of the St Monans 1875 Memorial Group, who successfully raised over £40, 000 to create a permanent tribute honoring 21 local fishermen tragically lost at sea. The Memorial Group are all local people, who have spent the last two years creating a memorial garden, designed by Fermín Beltrán, which was unveiled in November 2025. Thanks to everyone involved, with special thanks to Minnie and Anthony Crawford, the Earl and Countess of Crawford, for the invitation! ...

Initial designs for a whole house renovation and attic conversion at this East Neuk bungalow; Works will include new open plan living space at ground floor connected to a garden kitchen, and a generous main bedroom suite at attic level with views across the countryside. ...

It was a pleasure to visit the completed first stage of this whole house renovation project, where essential repairs have been carried out to this beautiful B-Listed Fife farmhouse. Now with a new slated roof, new windows and expert masonry repairs, the house is well on the way to a brand new lease of life. We look forward to the second stage, where works will begin inside; ...

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! ...
