Douglas Strachan - Chartered Architect Midlothian
Architects & Building Designers in Muchra.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 September 2016
“Professional and friendly service. Advised and guided us through submission of listed building alteration plans involving original sash window replacements so as not to fall foul of regulations. Drew up plans, specs and recommended fitters plus general helpful advice.”
Studio DuB
Architects & Building Designers in Muchra.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 November 2020
“We bought the flat above ours in the tenement we live in, and we asked Studio DuB to redesign the joint double-flat from scratch, and then to project manage this, bringing in builders and other contractors they knew and trusted. They were superb in leading this from the outset to the finish, and we are really delighted with the results. The costings were presented in a very clear way, and design choices were made easy and clear at every stage. The network they have amongst trustworthy Edinburgh contractors, surveyors and other specialists was the next element in making this work smoothly and successfully, on time, and cost-effectively. They were easy to work with, and were good at eliciting from us what we wanted in overall terms, and where specific choices were needed, or changes to the operations conducted by the builders were needed, under time pressure, we always knew we were well supported and they would ensure a successful and top quality outcome. We had a vision of what ideally the double flat would look like, and we are now living in it and loving it. G + H.”
White Hill Design Studio LLP
Architects & Building Designers in Muchra.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 January 2018
“WhiteHill Designs have been integral to delivering our dream home. From day one, they have been passionate about capturing and translating our vision into a reality; enhancing it with some great, innovative ideas and exciting approaches to low-impact sustainable living. Their attention to detail at every level has been exceptional; leaving us confident that every angle of the design has been considered carefully and contractors have no confusion or scope for error. Because WHD are a family business, we have always felt reassured that everyone supports each other and works in harmony. Our family would highly recommend WHD; if you’re looking for a company that will guide you through an otherwise complex minefield of legislation and standards and help you bring unusual designs to life, David and his family are the company for you.”
Studio AWA
Architects & Building Designers in Muchra.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 November 2019
“Studio AWA recently designed and project-managed the renovation of our house. The brief was to open up the ground floor to let in more natural light, and to make more efficient use of the living space. Studio AWA spent a significant amount of time at the outset of the project speaking to us to better understand our desired outcome and getting an understanding of our style preferences. This time was invaluable as it allowed Studio AWA to suggest ideas that we had not considered and which had a huge impact on the finished product. This included enlarging and adding additional windows, and inserting large sliding glass doors at the rear of the house. Studio AWA also provided kitchen and bathroom design services for us and, based on the high quality of this work, we asked for additional interior design help. Studio AWA provided a comprehensive service which included the selection and hiring of the quantity surveyor, engineers and building contractor, and full supervision and coordination of all the works. We were given regular updates on progress throughout. We are really happy with the finished product which has met the objectives of our brief and gone some way beyond. Our home has been transformed to provide us with a more modern, brighter, open plan living space. We would be happy to recommend Studio AWA to anyone.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 February 2017
“Ran Boydell is a thoughtful and practical professional who we were delighted to work with during our restoration of Rosemount in the Hunter Valley of NSW, Australia. He has an excellent eye and worked collaboratively with us rather than enforcing his ideas and opinions on us. I have no hesitation in recommending Ran Boydell.”
Vellow Wood Architecture

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 October 2021
“Vellow Wood provided us fantastic service and we would highly recommend them! They drew up plans for a re-build, took care of all structural drawings and planning correspondence as well as the building warrant. They were always very professional & punctual. If you're looking for an architect, look no further than Vellow Wood! I'm sure Philip and the team will look after you very well as they did us.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Muchra, Scottish Borders, UK, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Muchra, Scottish Borders, UK architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Muchra, Scottish Borders, UK that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Muchra, Scottish Borders, UK cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Muchra, Scottish Borders, UK architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee. Make sure the total figure and payment schedule is agreed as part of your contract, particularly if you are trying to accurately estimate the cost of building a house.
