CALUM DUNCAN ARCHITECTS LTD

CALUM DUNCAN ARCHITECTS LTD are an award winning practice working across Scotland on low energy and Passivhaus projects, both new build and alterations. We value design which will stand the test of time, considers the needs of the client and our wider environment, and is efficient as well as beautiful. Our work includes spaces and places for living, learning, working and relaxing, where our creativity and sensitive approach can improve the enjoyment and wellbeing of our everyday lives. We always work collaboratively with our clients, consultants and contractors. As a practice we look to understand the most practical issues of a project while creating a unique and distinctive architectural character for each design proposal. Good buildings are made by listening and understanding the users in an honest manner, then leading with imaginative responses to these requirements practically, and with joy and care. Calum Duncan is a certified Passivhaus designer, and an RIBA Conservation accredited and an RIAS Sustainability accredited architect. With over 20 years’ experience, Calum has worked on four RIBA award winning projects, including the Stirling Prize shortlisted Dance Base in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket. Calum was lead designer for Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation for the University of Edinburgh – which was both the first listed and first refurbished building to achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’. Calum is chair of the board at Play Scotland.
