About Gary Mochrie

Thoughtful design, personal service and spaces shaped around you. Based in Glasgow, we help clients develop their ideas into practical, considered architecture. Below are answers to common questions about working with us.

What can you help us with?

Our work brings together residential design, planning applications, technical drawings and support during construction. Browse our projects to see examples of extensions and home improvements, or get in touch to discuss experience relevant to your own brief.

What size and type of projects do you work on?

We work on home extensions, loft conversions, refurbishments and bespoke residential projects, alongside commercial design work. The scope of our service is agreed around the scale, complexity and needs of each project.

How long does a house refurbishment and extension project take?

Every project has its own programme. Design development, approvals, technical information, contractor availability and the building work all affect the timescale. We discuss a realistic programme with you at the outset and review it as the design develops.

Will I need to employ anyone else?

The size and complexity of your project will determine what other professionals will need to be involved. You will need a structural engineer, detailed surveys and possibly a party wall consultant.

We will coordinate and arrange fee proposals for your consideration and coordinate consultants input throughout the project on your behalf.

Why should we choose Gary Mochrie to be our architect?

We know what we’re talking about

We have the experience, the professionalism, attention to detail and most importantly design ability. We aim to provide excellence to every project to create an inspirational design tailored and developed from your needs.

We are flexible

We understand that commissioning an architect is an important decision and we are happy to work with you in whichever way best suits your project to deliver the best outcome.

We believe communication is key

Without clear communication, whether through word, meetings, drawings, sketches, models and built form it is not possible to create great architecture. We take time to explain and illustrate every step of the process to you.

We are passionate about creating inspirational architecture

The process of developing ideas into designs and built form is a fulfilling and inspiring process for all involved. It’s what we do. We want to share this with you.

How involved can I get?

Open and regular communication is key to a successful building project. From the outset we need to meet and talk regularly to develop designs bespoke to your needs, programme and budget.

We will coordinate and liaise regularly with the design team and contractor and update you so you know that your project is in safe hands. You can be involved as much or as little as you would like – each project and client is different and we adapt to your needs.
