Niall Young Architecture - Commercial Architects in Edinburgh & Lothians

You know some times we can get involved with clients knowing what they "do", but occasionally when we have cause to work with them we get a clearer idea of what it is they actually get up to. Might sound a little flippant coming from a team of web specialists offering visibility and prominence in search engines and so forth but we can often find ourselves taking our eyes of the actual services offered by our clients.

Take Niall Young Architecture, one of our smaller clients (but perfectly formed..) with a team of 3 architectural staff and an administrator, these guys have a great portfolio of commercial and domestic clients throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. As with all our clients we start early on asking for information about projects or case studies which we will use as the foundation for promoting the subject-specific sectors, my eyes were well and truly opened to the sheer brilliance of some of the designs. OK, architects I assume want to leave their mark on the world like Norman Foster or Ove Arup but even the smallest team of architects in Edinburgh can make you just stop and stand in wonder at the level of detail which is applied to the projects Niall and his team work on.

It's little wonder that the likes of Edinburgh Napier University and Queen Margaret University both engage Niall and his team as a commercial architect when you look at the way the designs he offers work seamlessly with the greater picture in both aesthetic and functional angles.

His work for Napier University at the flagship Merchiston Campus have taken the now clearly identifiable red triangle which has for what seems like forever been the logo of Edinburgh Napier and integrated that into the main entrance.

It's detail like this which stand NY Architecture apart from other commercial architects and in our humble view allow his vision to work to the mutual benefit with the client.
