MLA were commissioned in 2018 to design the “Bridge House” project.

The existing bungalow in Paisley Gardens rests on the north side of Arthurs Seat, from where there can be few better views of North Edinburgh, the Firth of Forth and the Bridges. The client had enjoyed these views from the garden for many years but wanted to create an extension that took full advantage of its elevation and vantage point particularly during the winter months.

The proposal involved demolishing an existing unused garage and creating an extended split level, open plan living space and a large picture window facing North West. An outside terrace was also formed for those few sheltered, summer days when a north facing space is warm enough to enjoy.
