Magda Interiors
Architects in Livingston, West Lothian
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 February 2025
“Headed by Magda herself, with work executed by her team of skilled experts, Magda Interiors has successfully helped transform our house, fast! We began nervously with a lot of head scratching and wondering what to do with our Victorian property, knowing that we wanted to lift and lighten it whilst giving a respectful nod its age. We needed light, good storage and comfort with a warm aesthetic welcome. Magda’s architectural design drawings for our built in items which included drawing room book cases, fabulous wardrobes, a beautiful hallway and brand new period style kitchen with an Aga at its heart, (not to mention a new but period downstairs loo!) were meticulous. We achieved our desired result through continuous dialogue until we were comfortable and she knew it was feasible. Magda’s team capability includes superb joinery/cabinet making, electrics and plumbing, and if you haven’t got your own, decorating. Magda sparks off ideas then listens. She measures, and discusses options. Then you modify and meet in the middle. It’s that simple! We are very grateful to Magda for all her assistance and highly recommend Magda Interiors for your refurbishment projects.”
Claire McLuckie Architect
Architects in Livingston, West Lothian
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 September 2022
“When we first started thinking about extending our home we didn’t have a clue where to start, I spoke to Claire on the phone and instantly knew I wanted to work with her on our project (it was worth the wait as she is in demand). Claire is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, patient, honest, open (to all my questions, ideas, requests), practical, friendly and above all I felt like throughout the whole project we worked as a team. I am delighted with the final plan (we are just about to start the build) and Claire guided us through every step of the process and kept me calm, informed and reassured. Without any hesitation, we would recommend Claire to anyone looking for a first class architect, she offers everything you would want for this critical part in your project.”

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 Livingston 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 Livingston 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 Livingston during initial consultations.
