City of Edinburgh Council has given the green light for this sensitive new-build contemporary designed house on a challenging gap site within the Craigmillar Park Conservation Area. City Architecture Office director Moray Royles commented: “Our solution will create an enlivened segment in the current urban fabric and generate a sustainable place to live & work, which is beneficial all round.”

In their approval report Edinburgh Council wrote: “The proposed house is of a high-quality contemporary design that would create a juxtaposition between the historical and new. The design concept would contribute towards a sense of place through the interest created by the contrasting architectural themes between it and the neighbouring properties.”
Delicate positioning of the property was required to maximise daylight, maintain privacy and provide amenities while minimising the loss of trees.
