On the 19 December last year, KSA closed it’s doors for the last time. After 19 years in the architecture business, I would like to thank our wonderful clients that have made all our projects possible, the dedicated consultants who we worked with and our trusted contractors who took the drawings and turned them into reality. Last but not least I would like to thank the fabulous KSA team who have worked so hard and supported the business over the years. Angela, David, Tess, Andrew & Jamie each amazing in their own right - wishing you all the best for your future endeavours.

Growing KSA has been an exciting & fulfilling journey and one I would not change. However at 52, I am now looking forward to starting a new chapter, fulfilling a long-awaited ambition to pursue a more physical outdoor career in horticulture while retaining a hand in conservation architecture.

We started the celebrations for our last day together by throwing some pots at Clay Half in Montrose, which was very calming after all our final deadlines! Thank you to Irene Hughes for hosting us and providing such a fun and chilled out vibe. We finished with a small party to say our goodbyes – thanks to all who attended and brought gifts. Wishing you all the very best for 2026 from KSA.

Lovely to have our clients into the studio this morning and present them with the DIA Awards commendation for Best Domestic Extension. The success of the project is a testament to their beautiful taste and trust in KSA to deliver a contemporary extension and sensitive retrofit of the existing cottage.

Always a pleasure to see a finished project, a home that reflects our clients personal style and attention to detail. We especially loved checking out the kitchen by Glasgow based Three Four Five Furniture.
