Sam Woodside and Phil Parker formed their Architects practice in the early 1980’s and after over 20 years have designed many buildings in and around Perth, the northeast of Scotland and have successfully managed contracts on behalf of a wide variety of clients.

Commissions have differed greatly durning the life of the practice, usually being determined by the current economic climate. These range from nursing homes, individual houses, flats, commercial and industrial interests. More recently, a castle conversion in central Scotland and the Perthshire Visitor Centre have been progressed through the office.

Works to historic and listed buildings have also been undertaken and the practice was instrumental in recognising and establishing Verdant Works in Dundee as a building of national importance (Grade A listed) and as a museum of the Jute Industry.

We have worked with Housing Associations, major house builders, Local Authorities and the Scottish Office. Current staff levels vary according to work load but at present we have Principal - Phil Parker, Associate - John Bogle who is a qualified Architect, Technician - Matthew Cowan and secretary - Wendy Todd. Sam Woodside now acts as a Consultant.

We are fully computerised using Autocad Systems offering physical model making and perspective services in addition to 3-D computer models and fly through animations.

Phil Parker is also an Industrial Archaeologist and has a experience of recording and presenting information and proposals for reuse and reinterpretation industrial heritage, and is also a member of the Scottish Industrial Archaeological Society.
