TESTIMONIALS
We highly recommend Lorn and his team. They
are very professional and have a wealth of technical knowledge which is
invaluable when dealing with historic properties. We
undertook the refurbishment project while living overseas and the team’s
fast and efficient communication was excellent. We would not hesitate
to use Lorn again.
Robin and Catherine Parbrook
All my friends comment on the sense of extraordinary calm and serenity
they feel on entering Woodlands. It is a rare talent
to produce a new home that is both an exquisite work of beauty in it's
own right, without imposing itself on or competing with the majesty of
its woodland surrounding.

The James Moffat Hall was beautifully launched by our Patron, The Princess
Royal. It is in regular and appreciated use and
continues to regularly draw many favourable comments such as "it fits
in so well" or "it looks as if it has always been here". In gratitude
and with best wishes to your team.
Norman Drummond, FRSE Founder and Chairman
New to Edinburgh, we were introduced to Lorn Macneal. It
proved to be one of the best introductions ever! Lorn tackled the
redesign and refurbishment of our late Georgian house with flair, good
humour and enormous talent. The house was transformed from a darkish and
soulless house to a bright, spacious and well appointed home, suited for
modern-day living but still retaining all the appealing character of the
period past. We live with the most pleasing results
of Lorn Macneal’s work every day and remain most grateful.
Maryla and Edward Green
Upon our return from Hong Kong ten years ago our solicitor suggested
we invite Lorn to appraise a thoroughly dilapidated Edinburgh New Town
listed townhouse. Nothing seemed to phase his enthusiasm, empathy, and
knowledge applied in transforming this building into our wonderful family
home. Five years later Lorn applied the same enchanting
magic in wholesale refurbishment of our country home at Bridge
of Cally. He has been just great as our architect
and friend.
Colin & Sue Buchan
From that moment we set eyes on the Garden House we were overwhelmed with
excitement; the lifestyle it embraces, the open spaces, the profusion
of light, the design styling; in fact everything. The reaction from any
guest is always of stunned amazement giving us a
warm sense of pride. It is our piece of heaven on earth, and thank you
for making it all happen.
Peter & Luciana Nathanial
Lorn is one of Edinburgh’s leading architects.
He and his team have been excellent in all areas, from design work, to
quality of craftsmanship, to cost control and to the timetable. Doing
a project from Hong Kong is a daunting prospect but Lorn
has been very open, very straight-forward and very patient throughout
and I would have no reservations in recommending him to anyone
considering building, extending or renovating a property in Scotland.
Mark & Vivienne Harris
Lorn has long represented the interests of many overseas clients.
What is important to us is the sound level and quality of service his
team have always provided, which is an essential part of the discerning
standards we look to maintain as agents.
Elspeth Rae, Bruce Rae Property Management
Lorn Macneal and his team proved both extremely
helpful and very professional from the time we first were introduced
until completion of our Edinburgh New Town flat renovation. Throughout
the process we were kept informed from Hong Kong on all aspects of progress,
in presenting design, assisting specifications, advising on VAT exemptions,
and in ensuring best quality control to completion. In addition, the work
was carried out under budget, a rare occurrence
indeed! He came thoroughly recommended and we were
certainly not let down.
Jim & Connie Walker
Lorn and his team assisted us with obtaining consents for work to our
listed country house, selecting trades, including turnkey control, supervision
and control of the work, and finally bringing the
project to a very successful conclusion within budget.
