ABOUT US

Welcome to our practice! We are ARB registered architects with a combined knowledge of 40+ years experience in the domestic, commercial, healthcare and education sectors. We are members of the RIAS and our practice is RIAS chartered. We pride ourselves on providing a professional, client focussed service with attention to detail at all times.

We operate with a deep commitment to enhancing both the built environment and the communities we serve. We are passionate about creating energy-efficient buildings and promoting the sustainable re-use of existing structures.

Our primary base is Glasgow, where we handle most of our projects and client interactions. We also have a remote office in Dumfries and Galloway where our practice was first established.

AMANDA

FLOCKHART

After 10 years of working in private practices in Edinburgh, London and Glasgow, Amanda established Flockhart Architects in 2014. Over recent years Amanda has developed and grown the practice focussing on domestic, community and small scale commercial projects. Amanda also enjoys working within her local community and was one of the founding trustees of the Shambellie House redevelopment project In New Abbey. Amanda has an SQA Level 3 award in Energy Efficiency Measures for Older and Traditional Buildings and has recently embarked on the AECB Carbonlite Retrofit Foundation Course.

During her 5th year studies at the Mackintosh, Amanda was awarded the Bourdon Prize, the Charlie Cochrane Silver Medal for Architecture, the RIAS Silver Medal for best 5th year student (commendation) and was published in Building Design ‘UK Class of 2004’.

When not architecting, Amanda often finds herself roped into volunteering roles — a testament to her inability to say no! Formerly a Beaver leader, then a Cub leader, she now finds herself managing a junior water polo team, despite knowing as much about the sport as she does about deep-sea welding!

ALEX

FLOCKHART

Since graduating in 2000, Alex has worked on a diverse range of projects including large scale award winning residential, educational, health and commercial projects in Glasgow and London, to high end bespoke houses and extensions in Scotland. Alex has designed and delivered many low carbon houses integrating fabric first principles with current renewable technologies. Alex combines work with part-time tutoring and has also lectured in Glasgow and London Universities.

Unlike Amanda, Alex is very good at saying no to extracurricular activities.

He runs quite a lot.

JACKIE

Office Dog & Wellbeing Coordinator

Jackie has been a valued member of the practice for over seven years, during which time she has firmly established herself as our unofficial time-keeper and chief source of distraction. She plays a key role in maintaining the team's wellbeing, with particular expertise in reminding us when to pause for lunch or step out for a walk.

A passionate advocate for reuse, Jackie takes a keen interest in recycling — especially when it involves retrieving forgotten tennis balls. Her calming presence, unwavering enthusiasm, and love of routines make her an indispensable part of studio life.
