JWGS Associates was appointed to design and deliver a contemporary extension to a private home in South Queensferry, Edinburgh, transforming the existing property into a light-filled, open-plan family home that better supports modern living.

The client's brief centred on creating a seamless connection between the house and garden while maximising natural daylight throughout the living space. Our design introduced a spacious open-plan kitchen and family area, featuring large-format sliding glazed doors that open directly onto the garden and carefully positioned rooflights that bring natural light deep into the heart of the home.

Every aspect of the extension was tailored to the client's lifestyle, with bespoke architectural detailing including a custom-designed media wall with an integrated fireplace, concealed blinds and a level transition between the interior and the outdoor terrace. The result is a contemporary living space that is equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining.

JWGS Associates provided a complete architectural service, from initial concept design through to detailed design, using hand-drawn sketches and immersive 3D visualisations to develop a solution that reflected the client's aspirations while maximising the potential of the property. The completed extension, delivered in collaboration with EKCO on the kitchen design, has transformed the home into a bright, functional and elegant contemporary residence.
