Ian Duncan Architects

Ian Duncan Architects, a well-established architectural practice founded in 1982, is dedicated to delivering design excellence and value for money to our clients. By combining modern technology with a respect for tradition, we offer architect-designed solutions that complement the natural and built environments. Our team is passionate about creating buildings that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, making them a joy to inhabit.

From our offices in Inverurie, we are involved in a wide variety of projects across the North East. These include public and private housing, commercial, industrial, and agricultural developments. We believe that our long experience in the industry, combined with our commitment to innovative design, allows us to provide a unique and valuable service to our clients.

Our Services

We understand that each client is unique and has specific needs and requirements. As such, we offer a tailored service to ensure that we meet and exceed our clients' expectations. Our services include:

• Designing buildings that are as original and exciting as the brief will allow
• Using our long experience in the industry to produce technical solutions to overcome the difficulties of problematic sites and buildings in the most practical, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and sustainable manner possible
• Helping our clients visualize and ultimately realize the building project they have commissioned

We are dedicated to maintaining and expanding the trust that our clients have placed in us over the years. We believe that our commitment to client service, combined with our passion for innovative design, sets us apart from other architectural practices.

Our History

The practice was set up in Old Rayne by Ian Duncan in 1982 and moved to Inverurie in 1989 and to its current offices in Inverurie in 1992. It covers a wide geographical area, and while the majority of projects are within Aberdeenshire, the practice is also regularly involved in work in Moray and has been as far afield as Kylesku in the Highlands, Arasaig on the west coast, Dornoch in Rosshire, and in Bergen, Norway. These remote destinations are a result of satisfied local clients moving to new locations and seeking the comfort of working with a practice they know and can trust.

Looking to the Future

The need to fight global warming, conserve energy, and reduce pollution are problems we all need to face. As a practice, our aim for the future must be to embrace these challenges through the use of new technologies and sustainable materials whilst retaining the tradition of client service that has stood us in good stead over the last 29 years. We are excited about the opportunities that the future holds and look forward to continuing to provide a professional service of the highest standard to all our clients.
