Simon Laird Associates
From RIBApedia
Simon Laird Associates is a specialist architecture practice based in Edinburgh. We are dedicated to maximising the value of working space, both in terms of its usefulness to occupiers and in terms of its real estate value; as occupiers become more sophisticated in the way they procure space, we believe these measures of value to be largely aligned. In essence, this involves understanding the changing requirements of organisations and the unchanging nature of buildings, and achieving a match between the two.
We offer a full range of architectural and interior design services, supported by a value-focused approach to the design process. Our particular focus on buildings for business brings with it a rigorous attitude to understanding our clients' needs. The methods we have developed over many years allow us to offer independent consultancy advice in all aspects of the design of commercial space, whether conventional architectural services are required or not.
Though every project is unique, experience shows that a number of key activities may be identified. These may be led by the business considerations of the building user (the 'demand' side), or of those involved in the design and development process (the 'supply' side). Ultimately, the creation of an effective working environment will serve the interests of those on both the demand side and the supply side of the design, development and occupation process.
