ADP Architecture has expanded its wings with the acquisition of Ethos Design and Architecture (EDA), increasing the number of staff on the books at the employee-owned business to 140.

Significantly bolstering the practice's presence in Edinburgh and London the joint ticket will see both businesses unite behind projects such as Calderstone Resort, a hillside eco-hotel due to break ground in the coming weeks.

ADP chief executive Stephen Miles commented: “Following a short period of collaboration, we are delighted to formally welcome Scott Lawrie and his EDA team to the ADP family.

"Our work together will add further commercial excellence to our joint offering, enabling us to expand further into the mixed-use residential, hospitality and infrastructure sectors. We are already progressing an established pipeline of exciting projects together, including major hotel and residential projects in Edinburgh and London.”

EDA lead, Scott Lawrie added: “We share many core aspirations and values around sustainability, design quality and purpose with ADP, which is also a certified B Corp, so it seemed a natural fit for us."

Founded over half a century ago ADP became an employee-owned practice back in 2017.
