HAB Architecture
Contemporary Architectural Practice - Enhancing your natural habitat through design

24/10/2026

We are a small but extremely busy team at HAB Architecture. No single working day is the same and our schedule changes and adapts week to week to suit the changing needs of our clients and contractors.
This week we have held meetings with existing clients; met prospective new clients; attended CPD seminars; written endless emails; taken numerous calls; and drafted a number of projects and ideas. One of the most fulfilling things we have done this week however, was hosting a local school pupil seeking advice on the embarkment of her further education into the world of design. The enthusiasm and will of the youth is inspiring and it really is something to nourish. Oh! Also, we received THE best thankyou gift from our friends in the form of a wee house tissue box! I mean, come on, could this possibly be the best present for an architects office?! What a fabulous end to another busy week. 🤍💛🤍

Q. What did the pumpkin say to the pumpkin carver?
A. Cut it out!
Sorry we can't cut out the poor Friday Funnys!
The pump was out in force today on site, with the suspended concrete floor slabs being formed at our current housing development.
Huge efforts from the contractor working in typical Scottish weather conditions, oscillating between pure blue skies and heavy downpours! Canny cut that out either unfortunately!
HAB a FAB weekend folks!

On reflection, Vampires aren't that scary..... 🙃
As we enter the autumnal phase, its definitely feeling like a time for reflection. It has been a fantastically busy year for HAB Architecture, particularly with our relocation to Broxburn. Daily walks along the canal and seeing the changing seasons reflecting back, has been such a positive change that hadn't even been considered.
Reflecting on our own progress is so important for everyone's development. And HAB Architecture are definitely reflecting on their own progress!
HAB a FAB weekend folks!

I asked Marc how he planned to spend the weekend. He replied "first my wife and I will go collect our prescription glasses from the opticians, and then we'll see".... 🤓

A huge part of our work at HAB is preparing plans for our Clients. Often they themselves are planning for the future be it downsizing; upsizing or simply altering for the greater good, our lives revolve around all sorts of plans!
If you are planning a change to your home, get in touch! We can help guide you through viability and feasibility without worry or stress of over commitment!
HAB a fab weekend folks, whatever your plans! 🏠

I asked AI to design a building with no flaws. It came back with a perfect design - then reminded me it forgot to include the stairs.... 😂
There has been a lot of discussion lately regarding the use of AI. Like it or loath it, it is here. At HAB Architecture we are aware of the critical need for human input. Without considered thought to a design, it is likely AI will not get it right. That is why we are allowing AI to enter our practice but on our terms and conditions. This recent Planning Submission has been aided with the assistance of AI to produce visuals for our Clients to better understand their project. It is a tool but it is not perfect. What's your thoughts?!
HAB a fab weekend folks!

Called the council today to ask if I could have a skip out the front of the house.
They replied "you could cartwheel around the block for all we care".... 🤣
Our clients will be thinking about a skip out the front of their house AND a cartwheel around the block after receiving Planning Permission for this house alteration and rear extension this week. Great ending to another busy week at HAB HQ!
HAB a FAB weekend folks!

Q. What do the leaves say before they go to sleep?
A. Rake me up before September ends!.... 😒

September has come upon us already, following a fantastically busy couple of weeks for team HAB. This week we have enjoyed hosting a local high school pupil as she undertook her work placement with us. We were impressed at her skills and aptitude for Architecture and enjoyed showing her around one of our recently completed projects at Sheephouse Nursery in Fauldhouse! (*thanks to the team there for having us!). We also spent some time at The Engine Shed in Stirling at the launch of the new guidance for Conversions of Traditional Buildings. All while continuing to work and produce our clients with their projects. It has been a busy time!
HAB a fab weekend folks!

Q. Why did the weightlifter bring a ladder to the gym?
A. Because he heard he needed to take his lifting to the next level!.... 😒

I heard the phrase this week, that everyone wants to be a weight lifter but noone wants to put the effort in and lift the big weights. There's definitely something in that. HAB Architecture work extremely hard at what they do and strive achieve their best.
Delighted to receive the great news this week that HAB have recieved votes in this year's Scottish Home Improvement Awards and are Finalists in the Scotlands Best Architectural Practice category! A notoriously difficult category with the calibre of other practices extremely high, so Marc and I are delighted to have been recognised by those who took the time to vote for us!
Good luck to all the finalists!

Q. Why did the shop window never get lonely?
A. Because it was always looking out for someone! 🙄

Another exciting week for HABs new HQ following a visit from the very talented who has skillfully hand painted our new shop front window! Obviously Fionas 7yo daughter did most of the work and ensured the over all inspection of the work but the artist did not too badly at all! 🙏🥰
Please never be lonely if you are passing and pop in to our offices for a warm welcome and a cuppa and biccie if you're lucky!

HAB a fab weekend folks!
