JWGS Associates was appointed to redesign and deliver a high-quality contemporary extension to a private home in South Queensferry, Edinburgh. The project aimed to transform the existing property by enhancing natural light and creating a seamless connection between the interior living space and the garden.

The client’s brief focused on opening up the rear of the house to introduce a bright, open-plan kitchen and living area. Large format sliding glass doors were installed to maximise daylight and create a smooth flow from inside to outside. Additional rooflights over the kitchen allow light to penetrate deep into the heart of the new space.

The design features a series of bespoke architectural details tailored to the client’s lifestyle, including a custom-built media wall with integrated fireplace, concealed blinds, and a stepless transition from the extension to the garden patio. Perfect for entertaining or everyday living.

JWGS provided full concept design services, including hand-drawn sketches and 3D visualisations, to explore possibilities and deliver a unique, personalised design solution.

Now complete, the extension has transformed the property and exceeded the client’s expectations. The kitchen was delivered in collaboration with EKCO, specialists in high-end kitchen installations.
