Contemporary New House in Conservation Area
This project is a New Build Energy Efficient House in a conservation area, to fit within the existing site of the garage adjacent to the house.
The house will aim to seamlessly integrate modern living with eco- friendly design principles, incorporating renewable energy solutions and sustainable materials. The layout will prioritise functionality, flexibility, and a connection to the surrounding environment, ultimately creating a home that is both energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing.

Delighted to see our coastal cottage renovation project featured on BBC’s “Scotland’s Home of the Year” yesterday.
The judges had lovely things to say about the design, and while we received full marks, we missed out “by a whisker” in a tie-breaker situation. Congratulations to the winning project - well deserved 🙌🏼
A heartfelt thank you to our client for the opportunity to work on such a special project and for representing it so well on the show.

2025 has flown by so far and our team have been working hard so we all took a well-earned break yesterday afternoon and caught the May Princess from Anstruther to the Isle of May and what a spectacular day we had! Perfect weather to enjoy this amazing island home to hundreds of thousands of beautiful seabirds including over 100,000 puffins. Too many photos to share but hope you enjoy some of the shots our team captured;
Great progress in our project in Elie - such a brilliant location. The transformation is going to be dramatic!
Thanks to Josh and his drone skills 🙌🏼

The Doocot
One of our projects from 2017 has been transformed into stunning holiday accommodation near Arncroach in the East Neuk. Although all aspects of our designs weren’t in the final development, we really admire the finished project.
We worked on designs for both The Lodge (sleeps 4) and The Doocot (Sleeps 2) both of which are available for holiday lets.
This initial designs explored options for the conversion and restoration of an existing disused Doocot. A new practical entrance that considers the existing barn door, utilising garage space and existing stone features and stairs. A new roof with roof-lights to maximise natural daylight, one large master bedroom with en-suite. A new living space and a new open plan kitchen / dining.
The accommodations is also surrounded by beautiful farmland and orchards, producing one of the coast most loved apple juice - 🍏 @eastneukorchards

We’re thrilled to share that our proposals for the restoration and extension of Priorletham Smithy—a C-listed gem near St Andrews—have officially received planning approval!
This marks an exciting step toward transforming this derelict yet characterful building into a sustainable, energy-efficient family home, while honouring its rich heritage and unique setting.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in getting us to this stage—we can’t wait to see this one come to life

What about a curve?
One of our new build projects near Dunfermline is making excellent progress. The views of The Forth and surrounding fields will be exceptional.
The construction team is doing a brilliant job on the roof, and timber frame by Rob Roy Homes; thanks for sharing the images with us.

This rooftop terrace is a prime example of utilising space. We can’t wait to see the finished results, just in time for summer.

Spectacular drone shots of today`s site visit, courtesy of our architect in training @jjoshdavey ! In order to fit this new extension into the site as snugly as possible, and maximize garden and deck space, there is only one right angle in the new build. The new landscaping is taking shape. With a strong concept of coast, this development will feature a wildflower sedum roof with coastal planting. #fife #fifearchitecture #architecture #fifecoastalpath
Great progress at this extension project by Fife Architects! One major element of this project was how to deal with a very old, very large sandstone retaining wall, located just behind the new extension. Options were considered and in the end, the decision was made to carefully remove the wall altogether however to keep all the beautiful stone on site to form a new rockery gently sloping up to the higher level of this spectacular site.
We have multiple projects under construction in Fife for 2025, working closely with client and contractor to deliver successful projects; #fifearchitects #architecture #building #fifecoastalpath #fifelife
