SELECTED PROJECTS

    • OUR PRACTICE

    Faed Browne Architects was established in 1996 and is a busy practice based in Edinburgh. In this time we have been fortunate to have had many private and commercial clients that have allowed us to deliver and exceed their aspirations. Each client brings their own personal set of requirements and challenges and more often than not, tight budget and programme constraints. We enjoy working closely with clients, consultants and contractors, where we believe this hands-on approach tends to facilitate the best results. We believe in careful pre-contract planning, full documentation prior to tendering and regular site visits during construction to monitor the programme and quality of the building work are all crucial in delivering the best result.

    We take every opportunity to improve the architectural environment and its associated lifestyles whilst providing a comprehensive personal service. Our design objectives focus on beauty, simplicity and clarity with an overriding integrity; a simple and intuitive architectural approach. Material selection and the way they come together form an integral part of the decision making process.

    Environmentally our practice adopts an integrated approach. At an early stage consideration is given to maximise natural light, solar gain, sustainability, towards carbon neutral and where possible the incorporation of simple thermal dynamics.
