About | Architecture Office — Scotland | Buildings, Interiors and Objects

Architecture Office is an Edinburgh-based architecture and design studio working across buildings, interiors and objects.

Our work is grounded in simplicity, material character and a strong sense of place. We balance practical requirements with spatial ambition and considered detail to create spaces and objects that feel distinctive, useful and enduring, designed to transcend passing fashions and fleeting trends.

Working throughout Scotland and across the UK, the studio undertakes projects of varied scales and types, including private homes, residential extensions, workplaces, retail interiors, temporary installations and furniture. Every project is developed through close collaboration with clients, makers and consultants, combining resourceful architectural thinking with precise detailing and a tactile approach to materials.

Architecture Office was founded by Alexander Mackison (BArch, DipArch), who studied at the Glasgow School of Art and the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. Before establishing the studio, Alexander worked in London, gaining experience across a diverse range of architectural projects.

The studio’s work has been recognised by leading architecture and design publications in the UK and internationally. Selected features, interviews and press coverage include:
