asked Lorn Macneal to assist with alterations to my New Town home to form a good sized en-suite bathroom and other improvement work. From inception to completion Euan Crawford was a pleasure to work with in organising the builder, other consultants and the council permissions. Moreover, his lateral thought, flair, and wit, in letter writing on my behalf went truly 'above and beyond’ in assisting with another matter. I am delighted to remain friends with him despite the work being complete. Lorn Macneal Architects are the architect at the end of the road for so many in the new town, and with good reason. I have already recommended them to others
Having used Lorn Macneal Architects very successfully during the refurbishment of our Georgian Townhouse 12 years ago we were confident in using him and his team again to manage the restoration of our new home in Inverleith, Edinburgh. This large property required a total overhaul and the dedication and pride which LMA's project architect Stephen and Red Build have shown in the job is impressive. Throughout, they have come up with interesting and creative ideas, been unfailing and meticulous in their attention to detail and Stephen has, without exception, responded to our queries clearly and patiently. During our many Site visits, their professionalism, enthusiasm and charm have inspired confidence and it is exciting to see such a beautiful home emerge. The quality of work is top class and I cannot recommend them enough.
We have only fantastic things to say about Lorn Macneal Architects and are so happy with our decision to use them for our extension. Lorn immediately won us over with his enthusiasm and vision, and his whole team were excellent and professional. Euan was the architect working on our project and he was fantastic in every way - creative, hard working, patient and personable. The extension has entirely transformed our flat and we couldn’t be happier with it. Thank you!
We never once regretted our decision appointing Lorn Macneal Architects. We were thrilled from the outset with their creativity in response to our brief. Their willingness and enthusiasm to overcome all obstacles was outstanding. With unwavering support and good humour, together with utter Professionalism - Stephen, Sula, Lorn, a huge thank you for everything. Ewan and Cecilia
Top notch! The team at Lorn Macneal Architects was exceptional in every way, including managing the 4,000 miles gap from Boulder, USA (client) to St Andrews UK (property). Their creativity, engineering, collaboration, detail orientation, productivity, site management, permitting, neighbor interface...everything was spot on! Their renovation of our St Andrews Golf Place flat has created a truly magical place that we savor and thoroughly enjoy. Thank you, LMA! You guys/gals are superstars!
