Traditional Homes
what we do
At Thomas Robinson Architects, designing traditional homes is a core aspect of our work as architects in Scotland. We design new build residential houses in traditional styles and work as traditional home architects on existing historic homes that require extensions, restoration, or some other improvement.
Tom Robinson is the lead on our traditional architecture projects. An RIAS-accredited conservation architect, Tom applies his deep knowledge of historic buildings not only to our refurbishment and extension projects on historic and listed buildings but to newbuild traditional-style projects, too.
how we do it
As traditional residential architects, we also understand the need for modern systems within historic homes, as well as in our newbuild traditional-style projects. This includes a sustainable, low-energy approach and exceptional, sleek interior architecture and design.
Our understanding of varying traditional styles of architecture means that your traditional home will be designed with exceptional attention to detail. It will feel correct, not a pastiche or fake, but of its place and impressive in its own right.
From the panelling to the woodwork and stonework to window design, our eye and knowledge of what is right for your traditional project means that an exceptional home will be the outcome.
our work as traditional architects in Scotland
From working as executive architects on this group of award-winning Arts and Crafts style new houses in Renfrewshire to designing this luxury Scots Baronial home in the Scottish lowlands, we have completed many sensational traditional homes for our clients.
The simple classical form of a large traditional home in Stirlingshire was another traditional architecture win for our practice. Its symmetrical form and central hall lit by a cupola and large stair window are some of the clients’ favourite aspects.
These are just a sample of the projects we have completed as a traditional architecture practice in Scotland. We have also designed successful extensions to existing traditional homes. Some incorporate outbuildings, such as this beautiful 18th-century home, and others require additional new spaces and a reorganisation of the entire interior, such as this Victorian villa.
We also work as traditional interior architects, as on this impressive lodge in the Highlands, featuring sweeping staircases and grand party rooms.
