The Mayflower
An Extension For An Extended Family.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
This transformational project was designed to create a home that reflects my clients passion for gardening and their desire for a comfortable indoor-outdoor living space.
The Mayflower project showcases the seamless integration of the client's lifestyle with the design of their home, providing a beautiful setting for enjoying a sunny evening in the garden with a cold glass of wine, while still being connected to the comforts of indoor entertainment.
The main aim for Robin & Elaine was a design that focused on bringing their garden into their home, while also catering to their love of cooking. The project was a lot of fun to work on,; finding creative ways to integrate the garden into the design.
By creating a large open plan living area, and utilising their existing space, we really got the most out of their home.
Their kitchen was moved into the new extension with their new open plan living area also being moved forward into their new extension - this allowed them to get maximum use out their garden and new extension as this would be where they spend the majority of their time.
We decided to make good use of the existing living room by turning it into a dining room. This way, when they entertain, they still get the full benefits of their new floor space.
The next challenge was to work out a way of bringing their garden into their new extension. Most projects I see just throw a large bi-fold or sliding door for example on and call it a day. I wanted to go a step further and ACTUALLY bring their garden into their home. To achieve this, I designed an inverted folding door which steps into their extension. My client and I both absolutely loved this and so does everyone who visits their home. It's such a unique feature and is a big talking point among those who visit.
Let there be light! An important part of their brief was to bring as much light into their new home as possible. We didn't want to create this wonderful extension only for it to be dark and dingy. We achieved this by adding a central orangery skylight over the living room and a series of skylights across the new kitchen. Not only do the skylights bring in plenty of natural light, they are also beautiful features in their own right.
I am so glad they love their finished home as much as I do. It was a pleasure working on this project from start to finish.

The Rye
PROJECT
OVERVIEW
My clients, a young couple, have recently purchased their lovely new home in the heart of Edinburgh.
It’s a period property (my favourite!) and while it’s a beautiful home, the décor is outdated, the floor plan isn’t working for them and they have an amazing loft space above – prime for a beautiful loft conversion!
Kicking things off with the 2nd floor (it’s a maisonette), the loft is a great space with plenty of head room, but the roof starts to slop quite quickly.
We’ve positioned the stairs in the middle of the loft so the hallway and stairs feel spacious with 2 new large bedrooms and a large bathroom comfortably fitting in the loft space.
Because my clients are essentially removing a large storage area (the loft), I’m building in loads of clever storage in all the rooms so the all-important ironing board, brooms, shoes etc. can all be hidden away but easily accessed when needed.
The 1st floor, which is the main living level will have a brand new Kitchen / Dining area, a new utility and redecoration throughout.
This project is in the early stages of concept designs so stay tuned for more updates!
KEY FEATURES
01 My client wanted to create more space by converting their loft into 2 large bedrooms and 1 large bathroom.
02 We utilised Velux's mini-dormers as an affordable way of gaining more headroom.

The Crescent
PROJECT
OVERVIEW
Check out our completed Kitchen renovation in Linlithgow, Scotland.
After having a bad experience with their previous architect some years ago they were reluctant to do any more work to their home.
But after meeting me at their lovely home, I’m very pleased to say they were really excited to work with me at Scribble Architecture!
We stripped out the existing kitchen and reconfigured most of their downstairs floor plan. They want it to feel cosier and more geared towards family life. We designed a modern kitchen with all the mod-cons, re-designed the Dining area and brought the two spaces together.
In addition to this, we removed the old doors and fit a new set of bi-fold doors leading out from their existing extension into their garden and also removed the set of internal double doors and widened their opening between the Kitchen / Dining area into their extension to make the space feel more open, modern and much brighter!
At the moment, although the spaces in the home are quite well laid out, they feel a bit disjointed. I wanted to bring the different spaces together to make the home feel more cohesive without going full-on ‘open plan living’ as this is not what my client is looking for.
We are all so pleased with how this project turned out.
