Malcolm Fraser Architects are known for their modern, optimistic, highly-crafted buildings. Their Studio sits in the heart of Edinburgh, near their buildings for the Scottish Poetry Library, Dance Base and the Scottish Storytelling Centre, their Headquarters for HBOS (the repaired and renewed Bank of Scotland building) and various bars, restaurants, hotels and housing developments by the practice. All their work seeks to achieve a modern architecture whose simplicity and richness is deeply rooted in its physical and cultural context.

 

Projects onsite include the new Headquarters for Scottish Ballet in Glasgow and a new Business Centre in the heart of Berwick-upon-Tweed; while those in Planning include many housing and masterplanning projects throughout Scotland and England.

 

Fraser has, at various times: worked as a community architect in Wester Hailes, for Christopher Alexander in California and for artist Ian Hamilton Finlay at Little Sparta; been a Stirling Prize finalist and been, twice, voted Scottish Architect of the Year; and been Deputy Chair of Architecture+Design Scotland and Visiting Professor at the University of the West of England. Fraser writes on Architecture and culture in general and has lectured in Europe, the United States and China.
