This project involved the renovation and remodelling of an eclectic house overlooking Granton Harbour and the Firth of Forth. The property holds historical significance as the former home of the harbour’s chief engineer, who monitored the harbour’s construction from this vantage point.

The extensive proposals reconfigured the internal layout, notably relocating the kitchen to the centre of the house. This move not only enhanced the spatial flow but also opened up the interior to take full advantage of the spectacular views across the Forth. The redesign successfully unites the original farm cottage with its later Victorian extension, creating a coherent and connected home.

The project carefully balances respect for the building’s layered history with a contemporary approach to living, allowing the character of both architectural phases to coexist within a functional and visually engaging environment.
