5 High Street Interiors South Queensferry Possibly our biggest transformation to date. When we visited this dilapidated flat with our client we thought he’d lost the plot. But he had a vision...... This double upper flat is part of a listed building in the heart of the South Queensferry conservation area. The works involved the complete refurbishment and reconfiguration of the property including the forming of an opening plan kitchen living space on the lower level with improved bedroom and bathroom layouts above. A new staircase was introduced with a concealed rear dormer added above incorporating large flat glazed rooflights to provide improved headroom and natural light into the property. We spotted that there was the chance of opening up a view to the Forth Railway Bridge. For the first time in its history there was a visual connection between the building and the bridge!
