Capital A is an award winning Architecture practice based in Edinburgh specialising in contemporary house extensions and modern interiors. Covering all aspects of domestic property from conversions of Listed Buildings, to House Extensions and Modern Self Build Homes, Capital A has a track record of delivering complicated projects on challenging sites. Our work has been recognised as being of the highest quality by RIAS, The Scottish Design Awards and Urban Realm Magazine, who have included Capital A among their Top 100 Architects in Scotland three times since 2017.

Most of the projects Capital A deal with are house extensions or internal alterations to family homes. Each project starts with an initial consultation, where we discuss your ambitions for the property as well as your budget and time-scales. Capital A will provide a detailed fee quote after the initial consultation and, if the terms are acceptable, a formal appointment contract will be signed before design work begins. While we can be flexible, most of our projects are house extensions and internal alterations located in Edinburgh, The Lothians, Fife and Dundee.

I don't get into politics on my page but this idea deserves a mention. At present house extensions, alterations and repairs are subject to 20% VAT, while building a new house is effectively zero % VAT. The Scottish Government has written to the Chancellor of the Exquecher requesting VAT for domestic.
