Simpson & Brown Architects, is one of Scotland's leading architectural practices which specialises in conservation. The Practice was founded by James Simpson and Stewart Brown in 1977. Based in Edinburgh, S&B has grown steadily from 18 in 1997 to its present size of 35. In 1999 we expanded by the addition of three new partners - Andy Davey, John Sanders and Elizabeth Hurst. There is also one senior associate, Rachel Mayhew; and four other associates, Georgina Allison, Michael Pontin, Jenny Robertson and Susan Whittle. As well as architects we also employ technicians, architectural historians, assistants and students. Our administrative team includes an accountant, a PA, job-share secretaries, an administrator and an office junior.

We entered the new millennium bug-free and commenced a complete re-networking of the main office. We are now fully computerised with up-to-date technology. Our new e-mail address is: admin@simpsonandbrown.co.uk or you can easily e-mail any member of staff using their name, e.g. ehurst@simpsonandbrown.co.uk.

It would be true to say that there is considerable expertise and experience in the repair, restoration, alteration and adaptation for new uses of existing, particularly historic, buildings. Our work includes high-quality repairs, careful conservation and scholarly restoration, complex alterations and new buildings. Project values range up to £6.5M, often involving multiple clients, phasing and different types of contract.
