Architecture from the heart of Scotland. We work for the client, and to work in sympathy with the landscape and the local architecture. David Soppitt designs traditional architecture that enhances rather than competes with the landscape. The palette of materials used in our designs reflect the desire for honesty and tradition.

From the outset the practice was set up to work for the client, and to work in sympathy with the landscape and the local architecture. We are fortunate in Perthshire to work in some of the most spectacular landscapes in Britain, with a traditional architecture that enhances rather than competes with the landscape.
A new build house on an elevated site with wonderful views, particularly to the North West. A steading conversion and partial new-build creating a development of 10 unique houses in Leuchars. A development of 2 houses retaining the better features of an existing steading and an extension to existing farmhouse.
After looking for a site in Perthshire to build our own house for a couple of years, Helen found this elevated site 1 mile from Bankfoot, with long ranging views in all directions. The site was sold with Planning Permission to demolish the existing ruinous steading and the less ruinous cottage. We chose to keep and develop the cottage along with our new build house, a future timber garage building would complete a courtyard facing south.
Our brief on this project was to extend to the rear of a house on an unpretentious street, to provide a new kitchen/diningroom with 2 bedrooms over. A simple design, larch clad and with an aluminium standing seam roof was achieved for the very tight budget of 52,000. Modern and bright the extension is a great asset to the house and does not feel in any way compromised by having been designed to a budget.
