Andrew Megginson Architecture

Bowhouse, Cluny

Arising from an area of land with substantial ruinous remains of a former cottage, The Bowhouse is a site-sensitive contemporary home designed to frame the countryside setting.

An open plan living space that focuses on entertainment with access and views to the open countryside was at the heart of our Client's brief for their new home. Conceived in a H-shape, complimentary of surrounding building forms, the central zinc roofed living space is flanked by slate roofed wings containing private, parking and operational functions. This configuration allows for the best use of the site, creating spaces that blur the boundaries between interior, garden and the countryside beyond in stone, timber and glass volumes.

The double height living space provides spaces to entertain whilst also offering subtle separation for semi-private areas. The double height nature of the living space spills into the master bedroom with both spaces affording access and views to the garden and countryside.

Coates Gardens, Edinburgh

Renovation and alteration of a tired West End, B-listed apartment creating a home that is deeply conserved and quietly contemporary.

Arranged in a layout that lacked cohesion, we worked with our Client to reimagine the floorpan to improve flow, light and everyday functionality, creating calm, adaptable spaces while maintaining a strong connection to the building’s heritage. Upon entering the apartment the primary intervention involving the formation of the social heart of the home draws one to the rear of the apartment. Combining several rooms, the airy open plan sitting, dining and kitchen space is lit and connected to the garden by new French doors. The Client’s personal art collection brings warmth to each space resulting in a calm, modern home suited to their individuality.

A reconfigured home with flow, light and proportion guiding every decision.


Murrayfield, Edinburgh

A modern side extension to an existing villa in a prominent position in Murrayfield extending the ground floor living space whilst being respectful to the surrounding area.

Although in an elevated position our Client’s existing living areas were disconnected from the views afforded at the front of the home. Sympathetic to the stepping down nature of the existing villas, the infill extension subtly integrates with the streetscape providing our Client a unified living space that boasts exceptional views of the City and Pentland Hills whilst receiving light deep into the plan. Consisting largely of stone, that is harmonious with the character of the area, the extension introduces high levels of glazing and aluminium that presents a high-quality extension to the street. At lower ground floor level a gym space has been formed as well as a wine cellar located underneath the existing house but accessed off the extension.

The considerate flat roof volume expresses a contemporary intervention forming a cohesive layout to the home which strengthens the relationship between house and landscape.

New Build, Cowdenbeath

Dundas Street, Edinburgh

An alteration and renovation of a listed apartment connecting the kitchen to the living space, providing an additional bedroom whilst retaining, restoring and revitalising existing historic architectural features throughout.

Located at the opposite end of the apartment, our Client’s kitchen was disconnected from the living space. The proposal relocated the kitchen to the oversized dining space adjoining the front drawing room where the rooms were then connected to one another through existing double doors allowing a large open plan entertaining space with dual aspect which was also capable of being closed off to create an intimate living space when required. The works also included the renovation of the existing entrance hall, renovation of the existing bathroom and provision of an en suite to the new bedroom, formerly the kitchen space.

Involving various bold design moves, the project balances the architectural language of the New Town with contemporary living. Our proposal has breathed new life into this Category B-listed home.
