Featured Reviews for Architects in Highlands

New Space Architecture
Architects in Highlands
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 April 2023
“We were recommended New Space by a friend and they were brilliant from start to finish. We wanted another bedroom for our youngest daughter and with limited space around the house we didn't know how we could do it without moving. New Space suggested we converted our loft and came up with an incredible design which allowed us to have a new bedroom and en-suite in the loft. They made the process so simple, as well as fun and their drawings were so clear and detailed the builder was really happy.”

“Mark did the plans for our home extension in London. His plans made the most out of our very limited space, he had great ideas, listened to what we wanted, was available to discuss and amend. He is enthusiastic about his work, professional and very experienced. And great at explaining to a first timer on such a project, there were no stupid questions. In addition he dealt with the local planning office on our behalf which was a great benefit, as there request seems to change on a regular basis. I have recommended Mark to a number of my friends all of whom have had only positive feedback.”

“I highly recommend David who designed and supervised the best conversion of a dark downstairs chicane of walk-in cupboards to a bright airy corridor, one side of which is floor to ceiling storage cubicles, with laundry room and a shower room on the opposite side. He listened to all our requests and had suggestions to suit all our requirements. We were also pleased with his recommendation of builder and that he could supervise the job. We were delighted from start to finish. A real professional !”
Reynolds Architecture
Architects in Highlands
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 August 2018
“Superb professional service. I had never used an architect before despite undertaking many renovations but this was a major project and I needed help. From taking a house back to bare walls and replacing everything inside I was able to move my furniture in on the desired date and simply wire up my TV. The house won awards and there are photos on their website under Former Fisherman’s Cottage. A pleasure to work with Reynaulds Architecture.”
Lignum Designs Limited
Architects in Highlands
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 October 2019
“We have just received planning permission for our internal reconfiguration which Simon has designed for us. He visited us on several occasions and helped us to see the potential in our property exploring all the options available. Together we talked through how we want to use the house and we have used every pocket of space to reach that potential. Simon has been friendly and accommodating throughout and he has kept in touch regularly. He talked us through the planning process and kept us updated whilst successfully securing planning permission. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon, he is a highly skilled architect and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him. Many thanks Simon!”
Wittets Architects
Architects in Highlands
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 May 2020
“Exceptional support from start to finish. We started at the pre-design concept and finished at the completion certificate stage. Whilst our principal contact was Stephen Gauld we worked with a number of the other Wittets team members. Attention to detail was first class and time was taken to understand exactly what we wanted from our new home. Our ideas were turned into a stunning house design with architectural merit. The build programme, like any, had its difficult moments but again the Wittets team worked closely with us to ensure that minor problems stayed minor. We ended the project with a beautiful home.”
Cura Design

“Innovative and agile in problem solving which led to my brief being delivered. Would highly recommend working with Robert Bedner and Cura.”
1 Architects Ltd
Architects in Highlands
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 April 2017
“This practice successfully blends state of the art green energy technology with the quite different needs of historic building conservation and new build. In a broad and traditional landscape, where planning restrictions and legal requirements may be potentially onerous, Ian Sutherland McCook's knowledge, experience and relationships helped a difficult project through to a very satisfactory conclusion. For anyone seriously considering a real estate investment in the north of Scotland, I believe this is a contact not to be passed over.”
MAP Magnus Architect Practice
Architects in Highlands
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 November 2023
“Magnus proved himself excellent at making best use of space. He spotted that the original design we had for our granny annex put the bathroom in a prime position for living space. He produced an alternative design that moved the stairs and tricked a usable bathroom in underneath. As a result, we have a beautiful, good sized and sunny kitchen / dining space overlooking the garden and we observe that our guests spend a lot of time in this room as it is such good quality space. I am sure this has contributed to the financial success of our venture. Search the web for Glasgow Holiday Cottage to see images.”
ACJ Design - ACJ Group
Architects in Highlands
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 June 2018
“I contracted ACJ Design - ACJ Group to build a three bed bungalow for me in January 2018. The foundation work started in March 2018 and was wind and watertight by 15th June 2018. Up to the wind and watertight stage I have found ACJ to be very professional and easy to deal with. Any requested changes by me to the original plans were acted upon without fuss.

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Highlands architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Highlands can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Highlands during initial consultations.
