May 9: Experts back modernist extension for listed house

Design and heritage experts have backed plans for a striking modernist extension to a grade A listed 16th century merchant’s house near Edinburgh, despite local authority concerns. The Leith scheme, by Highland Housing Fair masterplanner Caddell2, working with Wiszniewski Thomson Architects, involves the redevelopment and expansion of Lamb’s House — which dates from the time of Mary Queen of Scots — to provide apartments and new office space. Edinburgh City Council planners have claimed the concrete, steel and oak extension is over-complex and impedes views of its historic neighbour.
