Forming part of James Gillespie Graham’s Moray Place, this private residence was carefully restored and altered to provide a modern family home based on the original 1822 layout on entrance and principal floors. The oval cupola within the main stair hall which had been concealed by a false ceiling was revealed and carefully repaired. The basement included original stone shelved wine cellars and original laundry equipment which was recorded prior to alteration to form a music room, home cinema and guest accommodation. Paint analysis revealed a marbled ashlar block decoration scheme which was fully reinstated. Other work included re-forming the original entrance stove alcove and a new inner screen based on the surviving evidence.

The two new pavilion buildings, providing holiday accommodation, sit within in the grounds of Wormistoune House. The style of the new pavilions is deliberately historicist so as not to jar with the subtle character of the walled garden.
