Another before & after, from one of our projects in Lundin Links. We had the privilege of undertaking this charming Georgian house a couple of years ago, a small yet transformative rear kitchen extension that we hope would offer timeless elegance and promises delightful moments of entertainment to our client.
If you’d like to work with us, please get in touch via our website. We’d love to hear from you.

A work in progress, one of our projects along the stunning east coast of Fife.
The aim was to reimagine the exciting sun room to the rear of the property and replace with a new-build extension to accommodate a seating area and covered patio. As well as some energy upgrades, such as a new air source heat pump and PV panels.
We’re looking forward to the final results.

Here are some more images from our latest project in the East Neuk. The property already had incredible views, it was our job to enhance them, as well as create a more sociable open plan living space.
This is the third project on this street, currently working on the fourth…

Things are starting to look very exciting on this whole cottage renovation and extension by Fife Architects!
We love the contrast of this recently completed cedar privacy screen and white brick pillar against the golf course and sea beyond.
Keep an eye out for more photos of this project!

What a transformation! We love looking back to the start of a project, it might seem like it’s a long process when you’re in the middle of construction but it will get there and it will be worth it.
