Uncovering interesting layers of history inside an old East Neuk workshop while surveying our latest project. Vintage tools, weathered surfaces, interesting objects and lots of character. Our latest project will be all about breathing new life into this incredible space while respecting its history. We can`t wait to get started!

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.

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.
