Seton Place
Our Mission
Extending a Victorian villa in the Grange Conservation area of Edinburgh to improve the functionality of the house.

Seton Place is a semi-detached Victorian villa in the highly sought after Grange Conservation area of Edinburgh. The layout of the house dated from the era where kitchens and sculleries were dingy, with a poor outlook, and were not considered important social spaces in the house. Whilst this served the needs of a bygone era, our clients were keen to bring this up to a modern standard of living.
GLM was set the challenge of creating a bright, airy kitchen and dining room with views over the mature garden, along with a new ground floor bathroom and cloakroom. GLM’s design rationalised the internal layout and created a bright, airy kitchen and dining extension perfectly adapted to contemporary living.
The structural challenge of supporting the corner of the original house on a steel framework has been neatly overcome, and the differences in level between the house and the garden artfully resolved, creating a seamless transition from inside to out. The client, who was closely involved in every detail of the design process, is now the delighted owner of a transformed house.
