📐 Architect in Invergowrie, Dundee

About Architects

An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.

Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.

In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).

About Invergowrie

Invergowrie is a small village on the western edge of Dundee, sitting on the south-facing shore of the Tay estuary where the city meets the boundary with Perth and Kinross.

Despite its village scale - with a local shop, a primary school and a railway halt on the Dundee to Perth line - it falls within the Dundee City council area and is considered part of the city.

The James Hutton Institute, one of Scotland's leading agricultural and environmental research organisations, is based on the edge of the village and is a significant local employer.

About Dundee

(opens in new tab)

Dundee is a compact council area on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, covering Scotland's fourth-largest city and a narrow belt of suburbs stretching east to Broughty Ferry and west to Invergowrie.

The city has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in urban Scotland, with the opening of V&A Dundee in 2018 anchoring a waterfront regeneration that has reshaped the city's image and economy.

Dundee has a long history of industry - jute, jam and journalism were the famous 'three Js' - and that heritage has given way to strengths in life sciences, digital technology and video games, with the city home to the studios that created Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings.

The University of Dundee and Abertay University give the city a large student population and a research base that punches well above the city's weight, particularly in medical research, art and design.

Despite its city status, Dundee is remarkably compact - most neighbourhoods are within a few miles of the centre and the Tay Road Bridge, the railway station and the A90 connect it quickly to Fife, Perth and Aberdeen.
