A sneak peak at our latest Grange project as it nears completion. 

A salvaged fireplace insert with a new joiner-made surround, paired with dark metalwork radiators to contrast the light walls painted in Atelier Ellis. A bespoke staircase leading to the loft conversion above - oak bullnosed treads with painted risers to follow. New rooflights introduced now flooding the space with natural light.

New dormers progressing on our attic conversion project in Morningside. 

Views out to leafy green South Edinburgh are captured with these new windows. Extending the attic space now provides extra bedrooms and space within the existing family home. 

Helen Lucas Architects are working to transform a 1960s bungalow in the Colinton area, realising a programme of works to rationalise the space for the challenges of modern family living. While almost doubling the floor area, the open nature of the internal scheme will also improve the property’s relationship to its garden.

Furthermore, the works will provide a significant thermal upgrade to the property’s original masonry cavity wall construction, dramatically reducing the home’s energy consumption. A new dormer is insulated with wood fibre and will feature timber cladding articulated with vertical fins between the windows.

Helen Lucas Architects have recently completed a full renovation of a 3-storey townhouse on the picturesque seafront of North Berwick.

HLA are delighted to have received Planning Permission for an attic extension at a house in the Coltbridge and Wester Coates Conservation Area. The property was previously extended for the same owners by Helen Lucas Architects in 2009.

This under utilised loft space has been floored and extensively insulated to form a bedroom and ensuite with generous headroom and lots of natural light. The loft conversion is part of a larger refurbishment scheme that adds a substantial extension to the rear of the property.
