Tod & Taylor

TOD & TAYLOR Architects is a practice dedicated to providing a high standard of service to a wide variety of clients. Based in Edinburgh, we specialise in the protection, repair, and renewal of existing and historic buildings, including design projects, remodelling, reports, advice, and project management. Our partners are RIAS conservation accredited to the highest level, with considerable experience of alterations, adaptations, and extensions to historic buildings, conservation work, and where required, new build additions.

Our Services

We offer a range of services tailored to each individual client's needs. Our specialist skills include feasibility studies, advice on access, building condition reports, and historic building maintenance, including grant applications, listed building and planning consents, and building warrant applications. We also provide design guidance and feasibility studies, conservation strategies, investigative surveys, access audits, and project management.

Our team of technical and administrative staff work together to provide a bespoke service to each client. We are committed to the idea that all buildings should be cared for, and when necessary, modified for contemporary use. We understand that each client brings their own unique requirements to a project, and we welcome the opportunities presented to us.

Our Approach

At TOD & TAYLOR Architects, we believe that careful surveying of a historic building is crucial to developing a good and effective scheme of repairs. We take pride in our knowledge and experience of building methods and traditional materials. Our approach is collaborative, and we work closely with our clients to understand their needs and requirements. We are dedicated to providing a high standard of service, and our team is committed to delivering projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standard.

Our Experience

With over 45 years of experience in building design, from homes to Churches, offices, and community hubs, we have developed a deep understanding of the importance of preserving our built heritage. Our experience includes alterations, adaptations, and extensions to historic buildings, conservation work, and new build projects. We have worked with a range of clients, including trusts and private individuals, and have provided specialist reports for funding applications, maintenance plans, risk assessments, and other purposes.
