About the Business
The practice was set up in 1992. After graduating from Heriot Watt University and working in a couple of Glasgow offices Ian spent several years in East Africa. Since his return he has built on his experience and developed a portfolio of mainly domestic work with a few larger commissions and the occasional foray back to Africa.
Vitruvius described architecture in terms of firmitas, utilitas, venustas. A building that feels well built and offers considered useable space in a beautiful form will bring lasting pleasure to its occupants, especially if they themselves have commissioned it.
Ian is interested in spaces that work well; kitchens with good day lighting, bedrooms with privacy, living rooms with views.
