“Douglas Strachan and his team have recently provided me with both detailed plans and exploratory concept sketches for different elements of the same project. The project involves the refurbishment of a listed building and an element of new construction to create a mixed use site which has a lot of elements to consider including it being considerate of the town centre site with all its historic references, commercially viable and aesthetically pleasing not only to me as the client but the local community. The process of working with Douglas has been an interesting and enjoyable one that has resulted in a set of drawings that have both captured my initial concept for the project and also introduced new ideas and a fresh perspective to the design. Douglas has sorted the statutory consents for the first phase of the project and we have just received the formal building warrant documents so we can now move forward and turn the initial concepts into reality. I am really looking forward to working with Douglas as he helps manage the project as the first stage goes on site very soon.”

“As the owner of a building company which has worked with Douglas Strachan Architects I have always found them to be very imaginative in design with a strong sense of balance for the environment, use and surrounding buildings. Douglas and his team are very approachable and present a fantastic service which starts with design and follows through the job to completion ensuring a mutually agreeable arrangement with the builder and the client. I would highly recommend.”
