About Abode.
Based in Uddingston, on the outskirts of Glasgow, Abode Architects are a practice who specialise in domestic architecture.
Our primary aim is to create beautiful homes and spaces, that respond respectfully & creatively to each project’s independent brief. We work collaboratively with every client to ensure that the end design is a true reflection of you, your family, and your lifestyle. Ultimately, we bring your wishlist and our creativity together to deliver your dream home.
Our environmental responsibility is always at the forefront of discussions and plays a crucial role in the design process. We currently live in a climate emergency, and Abode Architects are delighted to now have a Passive House Designer in our team after Director, Connor became certified in August 2022!
Often working with clients with little or no experience of working with an architect or builder, we can guide you through the process from initial ideas right through to completion of the works. Please see the “What We Do” page for more information on how we collaboratively design with our clients.

Prior to founding Abode, Connor spent 7 years working for some of the most respected architectural practices in Glasgow, leading on multi-million pound housing developments. After qualifying as an Architect in 2017, Connor knew he wanted to start his own practice and focus his time on the areas of architecture that mean the most to him.
As the practice’s Chartered Architect, Connor coordinates Abode’s design output & has a keen eye for the technical detail.
With his technical knowledge & strong beliefs about the importance of making sustainable design decisions, Connor’s ambition is to create a portfolio of work that achieves what is best for both client and environment.
