In 2024, Tash led the project and site management for the extensive renovation of a Grade A listed townhouse in a prestigious area of Edinburgh’s New Town.

The five-storey historic home required substantial upgrades its existing fabric, including chimney stack rebuilds, extensive stonework repairs to the front and rear elevations, full replacement of the original cast iron drainage system, and installation of new double-glazed sash and case windows throughout.

Internal works included various new openings, major structural alterations to the lower ground floor, and the construction of a new lift shaft. Timber joist strengthening works and internal wall insulation were carried out to improve structural and thermal performance.

Partially renovated room with exposed floor joists, deafening gravel infill, and worn plaster walls.
Stripped room with decorative panelling, exposed and strengthened timber floor joists, worn plaster walls, and a large vertical hole in the centre wall.
Partially carved sandstone sill, with stonemasons tools sitting on top.
Carved sandstone chimney cornice piece.
New opening in an old wall with exposed brickwork and plaster. View beyond to new timber stud walls.
Stripped back wall, layers of old lathe and plaster showing floral wallpaper behind.
Newly renovated chimney stack with new stone cornices and newly haunched pots.
Partially stripped back Georgian townhouse room with curved wall and fireplace in the centre.
Large stone urn with carved lion head, covered in lichen and surrounded by overgrown shrubs.
Original "Baldwin" electric cable terracotta covers, stacked.
