House UPGRADING AND ALTERATIONS, SOUTH SIDE OF EDINBURGH

This fine three-storey Listed Regency house required complete repair and upgrading to modern standards.  A key decision was to create a generous external stair linking the rear garden with the main entrance level, which besides improving access means that  the semi-basement floor can become a self-contained flat in future.  The new door is carefully detailed to blend in with the original window pattern, and makes a sympathetic addition to this outstanding Conservation Area.  Existing features are enhanced by good colour and lighting and complemented by well-designed modern elements.
