Tom McCardel

At Tom McCardel Associates, we believe that the role of the architect is to find solutions that their clients did not realise were possible. Our aim is to work with our clients in the design of space and light to inspire the people who will inhabit it. We design buildings which are rooted in the ground and respond to the environment in which they sit.

We are architects with over 25 years of experience in designing houses and buildings in Argyll and Stirling. Whether you are looking to create a new house, a renovation of an older property, or an alteration or extension to your home, we aim to exceed your expectations but not your budget. We're a friendly local business offering a personal service.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of services including the design of new houses, extensions and alterations, as well as community projects. Our design process is tailored to fit your requirements, whilst incorporating the breadth of our experience. We believe that the success of these projects is a tribute to the close relationship between architect and client that results from our personal service.

Our new house designs are created with space and light in mind, ensuring that each home is functional but not at the expense of quality of space and light. We have worked on numerous projects including family homes, houses designed for work and creativity, and homes positioned to maximise light and view.

Our extension and alteration services can transform your current home. Even the simplest alteration can have a dramatic effect on the way in which you use a building. We can help you to find solutions that enhance your current space, making it more functional and enjoyable.

We also specialise in community projects, understanding the importance of good public buildings in maintaining rural communities. Our expertise and experience in this area ensure that we can deliver high-quality community projects that meet the needs of the community.

Our Approach

At Tom McCardel Associates, we believe in the importance of understanding the environment in which we work. We take the time to understand the local area, the climate, and the needs of the community. This allows us to design buildings that are not only functional and beautiful but also sustainable and environmentally friendly.

We are committed to providing a personal service to each of our clients. We believe that the key to successful projects is the close relationship between architect and client. We take the time to listen to your needs and requirements, ensuring that the final product exceeds your expectations.
