Embracing the best of the present, through exceptional design and build standards, we sensitively add value to very special places; to be enjoyed today and be cherished by future generations. Our background means that we are very well placed to evaluate and deliver complex mixed–use schemes, but we are best known for our award–winning reputation as an expert in the conservation, restoration and conversion of historic and listed buildings. Our success thus far has been founded on an unwavering respect for and understanding of some of Britain’s most precious heritage assets. The Playfair at Donaldson’s is an outstanding building of palatial elegance, located on the western boundary of the Edinburgh World Heritage Site.
