Beautiful homes, thoughtfully made.
We’re Jones Robbins Tobin, residential architects creating exceptional homes across Scotland and the UK.
From ambitious new-builds and country homes to substantial renovations, extensions and listed properties, we combine empathy and technical rigour to create homes shaped by the people who live in them, the places they belong to and the materials that bring them to life.
Our process is collaborative, transparent and rooted in care because we believe great architecture should feel as good as it looks.
Our residential projects range from ambitious new-builds to substantial renovations and listed properties.
Our work spans private homes across Edinburgh, Scotland and the wider UK, each different in scale, setting and ambition.
Explore our case studies for a closer look at the thinking behind each home, from early ideas and planning challenges to material choices, craftsmanship and the details that bring the finished architecture together.
We create exceptional homes shaped by people, place and process.
We design from the inside out, beginning with how you live, how you want to feel in your home and how it should respond to its setting.
Working across Edinburgh, Scotland and the wider UK, we’re drawn to projects with a strong sense of place: from historic townhouses and listed properties to rural sites and new homes in extraordinary landscapes.
There’s no fixed style and no predetermined answer. Every home is a considered response to its client and context, developed through careful exploration, technical expertise and an unwavering attention to detail.
We guide every project from first ideas through to construction and completion.
Creating or transforming a home is a significant investment, and we never take that lightly.
Our role is to bring clarity and confidence to the process. We listen first, explore possibilities and guide you through each stage with clear advice, technical expertise and open communication.
There’s no hierarchy of ideas here. We test, refine and make decisions together so you understand where your project stands, what comes next and why it matters.
Listening First
Architecture starts with empathy. Understanding how you live, and how you want to live, is the foundation of every decision.
Context Matters
Every site has its own logic and story. We respond to light, landscape, heritage and local materials with care and creativity.
Craft & Clarity
Our work is built on detail. Rigorous drawings, specifications and technical thinking ensure beauty is backed by buildability.
Simplicity
We create spaces that feel calm, intuitive and intelligent, where every element has a reason to be there.
Shared Process
We design collaboratively, testing ideas and sharing decisions so you remain informed and involved throughout.
Designed For Life
We create homes to be lived in: personal, enduring spaces that work beautifully now and for years to come.
★★★★★
“Jones Robbins Tobin were the architects on our (one and only) new build project. Kingsley Court was designed to a specific brief, in a setting that had to complement an existing large country house, while combining contemporary elements with greenish credentials. Throughout the process, Jones Robbins Tobin demonstrated impressive discipline and rigour, being faithful to the design principles, with a pragmatic approach to both the planning and construction phases. The end result is perfectly fit-for-purpose, mixing wow moments' with touches of traditional Scottish materials that capture our identities and heritage. The journey would not have been possible without their passion, attention to detail, knowledge and expertise.”
