Congratulations! 🎉

We are proud to share that our Associate, John Cameron, has been awarded RIAS Conservation Accreditation, recognising his specialist expertise in the repair, adaptation, and thoughtful conservation of Scotland’s historic buildings.
This accreditation from the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) demonstrates John’s commitment to best practice in conservation architecture and strengthens Studio LBA’s ability to deliver sensitive, design-led interventions across a wide range of historically significant and listed properties.
John’s portfolio includes the adaptive reuse and restoration of numerous notable listed buildings within Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, the sensitive conversion of rural steadings and the creative transformation of heritage structures into contemporary, sustainable spaces. His approach to these projects is always with deep respect for the original fabric, local character, and protecting the future legacy of these buildings by fully assessing the buildings environmental impact.

We are absolutely thrilled that Orwell Farm has been recognised in The Herald Property Awards Finalists for Scotland 2025. It has been nominated in 2 categories; Best Regeneration Project, Commercial and Innovation in Sustainable Construction and Design.

Orwell Farm was a low budget project that has transformed a derelict farm steading into net zero commercial offices, which Studio LBA are now delighted to call “Home!” Achieving a net-zero EPC rating, featuring solar panels, a ground source heat pump, underfloor heating and on-site material re-use. Overall giving a fabulous creative space enjoyed by the LBA team on a daily basis.

We look forward to celebrating with all the finalists at the dinner in Glasgow on the 25th of September, good luck to everyone.

We're taking a moment to appreciate these incredible historic photos of Edinburgh's iconic Princes Street. There’s something truly special about connecting with the rich heritage and timeless grandeur of a place that has witnessed so much history unfold.

It's inspiring to see these glimpses into the past as we actively shape its future. Our team is currently developing 30 luxury serviced apartments across 72-77 Princes Street and 1-5 Hanover Street. We're committed to creating a contemporary living experience that not only honours the historic charm of this prime Edinburgh location but also contributes to its exciting next chapter.

Project revisit - Abercromby Place

How do you make preserve history and create an upgraded, stunning residential development?

This was a task for our project in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town and the UNESCO World Heritage site.

This project involved preserving the stunning 19th-century facades of a building on Abercromby Place, which tragically suffered a catastrophic fire. Behind these historic walls, we've integrated a contemporary concrete frame, creating flexible and dynamic internal spaces for nine apartments.

This conversion was a journey of thoughtful renovation, from new internal stair cores and a lift shaft enhancing accessibility, to upgraded services throughout. We've brought these properties into the 21st century while honouring their past, showcasing how careful design can breathe new life into historic structures. A fascinating example of preserving our architectural heritage while delivering exceptional residential units.
