99% of extensions ruin the very character that made you buy your period home.


 Don’t be the 99%.”

Identifying Issues


Owning a period home is a privilege — but it comes with challenges.


  • Struggling with an outdated layout that doesn’t work for your modern family lifestyle?
  • Beautiful, spacious rooms to the front of the house, but a grim rabbit warren to the rear?
  • Uncertain about planning and where to start?
  • Eye watering energy bills?
  • Worried you’ll risk losing the character you love through poorly considered extensions or renovations?


Delaying decisions means living in a home that frustrates rather than inspires, while your family’s needs continue to grow.

Recently, a family in Partickhill came to us overwhelmed. They had a stunning sandstone villa and wanted to extend it — but didn’t know how to blend contemporary living with its original character.



In one short call, we clarified their priorities, uncovered the home’s potential, and mapped out the path forward. Months later, they moved into a warm, light-filled, modern family space that still felt beautifully authentic.


That’s what this call delivers: clarity, direction,  and confidence.
