Edinburgh Townhouse
Renovation
2021

This once-distinguished two-storey Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh, having served as student accommodation since the 1980s, was ready for a significant upgrade. Our ambitious goal was to transform it into an exceptional, contemporary four-bedroom family home, putting our own stamp on it in the process.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN
SECOND FLOOR PLAN
The transformation included the strategic removal of an existing wall to craft a spacious open-plan living, dining, and modern kitchen area. On the second floor, we designed a second bathroom featuring a walk-in shower with skylights to bathe the space in natural light.

The chimney to the original fireplace was reopened, the second-floor stair balustrades reconfigured, and the top floor rooms became our hybrid working/entertainment spaces. We were committed throughout to clean and practical finishes, sanding and refinishing the original floorboards, preserving the cornices and revitalising the entire space with retiling and repainting throughout.
