Residential Architecture

Sometimes you don't need to extend. Removing internal walls and utilising the existing footprint can provide your dream open plan space. This is exactly what was required for this project, with the space opened up to create defined zones for a brand new Kitchen, Dining and Seating areas. Adding in large sliding doors allows access onto a beautiful decked area and floods the internal space with natural daylight

A crisp, timber clad extension to a period house, providing the additional space to create a stunning Kitchen/Dining space, with connection to garden. The design was intentionally modern, with materials selected to contrast with the granite of the existing house.

A common issue with new build homes, is a lack of family space. Albyn Architects solved this families problem by forming a single storey extension to the rear of the house.

This created additional Living accommodation, with defined areas for the Kitchen, Dining and Family space. The pitched roof design allowed for lots of natural daylight and a vaulted ceiling. Bi-fold doors provided a connection to the garden, with access onto a new area of decking creating an outdoor seating/entertaining area.

Extension and internal alterations carried out to a house in Stoneywood. Creating a new mulit-purpose room, with connection to the garden, and reworking the internal layout to improve the flow of the house.

Refurbishment of a city centre flat, providing a modern and luxurious space

Albyn Architects have completed work on this beautiful cottage refurbishment, within the conservation area of Footdee.

Carrying out a loft conversion is a great way of adding floor space to your house. For this project Albyn Architects converted redundant space into additional Bedrooms, Shower Room, Store and additional Living area.

Albyn Architects had the pleasure of working on the refurbishment of Bonnymuir House. A 200 year old house, situated off Westburn Road, once surrounded by nothing but fields and now in the heart of the city.

Albyn Architects have completed this modern extension to a period house in the west end of Aberdeen. The design contrasts with the original house and provides an amazing open plan space which has transformed the way the family live.

Just before the world went into lockdown, work was completed on this stunning project down in Edinburgh.

The brief for this project was to create a new extension to increase the size of the kitchen, to provide an open plan Kitchen/Dining space, linking with an existing sun lounge.

Set in stunning surroundings, the brief for this project was to turn a dark kitchen/dining space into an open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family space, with split level terraces overlooking the River Dee.

Albyn Architects completely transformed this house from a dark, outdated home into a stunning family home, with large Bedrooms and an amazing open plan space, connecting to the garden.

Albyn Architects are experienced in the design of new build housing. We used this knowledge to obtain planning permission for a new house in Fordoun, Aberdeenshire.

Albyn Architects met a couple who wanted to extend their house to accommodate their growing family. They loved the area, but required more living and bedroom space.

With our services recommended by a previous client, we met up with a couple looking to extend their existing house to provide a flexible Bedroom/Playroom space above their
garage.

We were recommended to the client, by a mutual friend, to provide architectural services and oversee the construction of a new build garage, with ancillary accommodation above.

We were recommended to a couple looking to extend their home, a former mill, on the outskirts of Newmachar, Aberdeenshire.

Sometimes you don't need to extend your home to create your dream entertaining space.

After opting into a scheme called Architect in the Hoose, an initiative where architects carry out services in return for a charitable donation, we were contacted by a client looking to extend their home in Inverurie.

We are frequently approached by clients looking to build large house extensions. However, sometimes all that is required is a clever reorganisation of the existing space, and a small extension, as was the case with this project.

Albyn Architects remodelled this family home, improving the flow and layout, with a beautiful open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family space to the rear of the house.

Converting your loft can be a great way to add additional Bedroom and Bathroom space. Creating a compliant stair access to permit the use of the top floor.

For this project we met with a client who wanted to carry out internal alterations to their period property.
