Our story

At our Edinburgh based architectural practice, we focus on creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also enrich your everyday life. We believe that great design begins with you. Your input is invaluable to us, whether you prefer to be hands-on or let us take the lead. We listen carefully, using our experience and intuition to shape environments that truly reflect your needs and aspirations. Our designs are crafted with character and personality, tailored to fit your lifestyle and make every corner of your home feel just right.

Are we a good fit for each other?

We love collaborating with big picture thinkers who share our passion for contemporary design and recognise the value we bring to their projects. Our approach is flexible and transparent, keeping you informed and involved throughout the process. We don’t impose our own style or have inflated egos; our focus is on achieving the best outcome for you and your home. Our mission is to create spaces where families can thrive, and making your ideal home a reality is at the heart of what we do.

As a small studio, we take pride in offering personalised attention and care. With our trusted team of consultants and network of builders, we provide practical, buildable solutions. By addressing potential challenges early, we save you time, money, and stress. We’re dedicated to delivering the best results for your home, blending practicality with creativity to ensure every project is both functional and inspiring

I'm Anya Wilson

After returning to my hometown of Edinburgh, I founded the practice in 2018 with a mission to help families enhance their homes. What began with designing a neighbour’s house soon grew through word of mouth, and the practice quickly gained momentum.

My approach involves understanding your unique lifestyle and future plans to design spaces that truly enhance your well-being. With a friendly and adaptable manner, I strive to create beautiful, functional environments that perfectly suit your family.

Specialising in family homes now, I bring 25 years of experience, including work on high-end luxury homes in London and award-winning public and university projects with excellent sustainability credentials. As a fully qualified architect and Chartered Member of the RIAS, I also enjoy sharing insights with fellow architects through ECAN, the Edinburgh Chartered Architects Network and SEDA, the Scottish Ecological Design Association.

Building a new house for my own family is a personal goal, and I’d be delighted to help you create your ideal home too. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, running, and capturing life’s special moments on camera.

"Anya gets to know you as a client, how you live in your existing home, and what you want to achieve from your build. We can’t wait to see Anya’s design come to life!"

"We had a very positive engagement with Anya from the very first meeting. It was clear from then that she works in a highly organised and meticulous way."

"From our first conversation with Anya we felt in very safe, professional hands discussing our ideas to extend our family home."
