Adrian Higson Architecture

We're a Glasgow Architects practice based in the West End. Our design-led approach leads to out of the ordinary projects which stretch your budget and add value to your property. Starting a project can be daunting unless you understand the process. To overcome this, we've outlined a typical project path, along with a brief idea of the services we can provide along the way. Our excellent design and technical skills can help realise your aspirations, add value to your property and give you peace of mind throughout a project.

Adrian formed the practice in 2013, working from an office within his home in Glasgow. Prior to this he trained and qualified as an Architect at the University of Liverpool, University of Washington State, Seattle and South Bank University, London and spent 16 years in practice in London and Glasgow. His expertise lies in producing creative, elegant, practical and cost-effective solutions within often tight timescales and budgetary allowances. Adrian will be the main client contact for all projects irrespective of size.

We're highly skilled and experienced designers. We believe in close consultation with our clients and want you to enjoy and feel in control of the process. During the design process, we'll ask questions and make suggestions before coming up with a range of ideas to develop and refine together. We also know how to plan for best environmental performance and can optimise light, views and aspect, promote natural ventilation and reduce energy consumption. Our expertise allows us to create efficient buildings that are light, airy, comfortable and stylish.

Architect's fees are sometimes misunderstood. Compared to other professions, we can be surprisingly inexpensive. As a profession, however, we are maybe not that good at engaging with the public, especially when it comes to what we charge. We're keen to be as transparent as possible. If you know your project's type and have an approximate budget you can use the graph we've produced above to calculate a guide fee and a breakdown of typical payment stages. Please note that this is for a full Architectural service.
